Video Games 2019: Ready Go

By Laboured Go To PostXbox back compat would be really impressive if *checks notes* PCs had never existed.

By HottestVapes Go To PostMetro Exodus really does look fucking special maxed out with RTX on.

By sohois Go To PostI was not aware of the price issues, that would be a sensible justification.

Mostly this question was driven by two things i saw: 1. people going ballistic over Shenmue. people already own it as backers and it is not hard to just install the egs and play it through there. 2. epic doing their weekly free game giveaway, and instead of being happy to get free games people largely mocked it and hoped it signalled a downwards spiral.

By sohois Go To Postcan anyone here give a decent explanation for why the Epic Games Store is so despised? I get that exclusivity is mildly annoying, but that's it, it's not an impossible barrier, most people have accepted using Origin for EA games without so much rage. It's like that meme:

Pc gamers: Steam is too dominant, we need competition
Epic: *competes with Steam*
Pc gamers: no, not like that

steam at this point is so entrenched that practically nothing would suffice to get users to use other services, even when they are free and have no drawbacks to installing (unlike something like uPlay, which was genuinely shite software). it's like people just want other internet people to pat them on the back for pointing out that steam is a bit shit and needs competition to improve, but don't actually want to use anything else

By Smokey Go To PostAre you playing it at 4k.

By HottestVapes Go To Post4K but DLSS on, so that's 1440 or 1800p I think? Can't wait to own a 4080Ti to play the game in true 4K at a full 60FPS.

By Xpike Go To Posti probably wouldnt mind egs if it wasnt associated with tencent

By Scum Go To PostHave Sony won E3 yet?

By Lupercal Go To PostWell, they didn't show up so I would say yes, yes they did.

By Laboured Go To PostNot showing up because you have fuck all to show was pretty embarassing tbf.

Instead, all I get is 10 fucking years of dancing games. Fuck off Ubi.

Speaking to GamesIndustry.biz, head of Xbox Phil Spencer admits that the spending spree is by no means over. The strategy will be familiar to anyone who has followed the Netflix story. The TV streaming platform reportedly spent between $12 and $13 billion on content last year, and that number is expected to rise this year.

"I think it would be nice if we found an Asian studio, in particular a Japanese studio, to add [to our studios]. I liked it when we had some first-party capability in Japan. We have a small team there, but I think we can do more."

I think they've done a very good job of investing into where they see the business is going. For us as Microsoft, it is one of the things about having the support of the company behind us. Satya Nadella, our CEO, and Amy Hood our CFO, and our board, see gaming as an important growth category

By s y ngmi Go To PostLol, Tencent owns From Software.

It will run on Xbox One. Will it look precisely like that? We'll do everything we can to optimize to each platform - and the new engine was rearchitected from the ground up specifically to eke performance from the base specs better than we currently can, but also to scale up without the artificial ceilings that the old tech had intrinsically - so of course it's going to look better on Scarlett and some crazy Ryzen PC, but our intention, from the metal up is to treat the existing Xbox One as a first class citizen in a way we couldn't even in Halo 5.

Last E3 we sort of metaphorically showed earlier engine and game elements through a telescope from the distance - and this year, deliberately intimate and though a magnifying glass. Our game is very much something that happens outside the frosty glass of that Pelican in a large and expansive way - but we also want to tell modern stories where people become important parts of the stakes and where detail can be explored and examined as well as lived in.

Our associate creative director, who's building the narrative tools worked previously on the Batman Arkham games and part of his philosophy is letting players move seamlessly from character drama to epic scale action so that the contrasts in scale add to your experience - and the design of armors and more taking inspiration from the legacy games is just a part of the approach for Infinite, we're also committed to reliving the sensation of the moment from Halo CE, where you emerge from the crashed Bumblebee escape pod - but really you're emerging from the claustrophobic tunnels and hallways of the Pillar of Autumn and traditional shooters, into the sunlight of this wide open new space and all its potential and new ways to attack and explore it - which at the time was new for a console FPS and really the promise of the game all the way back to Steve Jobs' announcement back at Macworld 1999.

We want to get players into the mindset where instead of saying, "Did you see the part where Chief did X…?" and back to those beter conversations that start with, "Did YOU get to X scenario yet? And how did YOU beat it?" I always think Halo is best when some of the most exciting stories are the ones that the player has created within the opportunities and universe afforded by the plot and the furniture of its sci-fi sandbox. That's also one of the reasons the MC as a character has so many different subjective interpretations. To some players he's just a suit you wear and to others he's Ulysses or John-117. The way they set about playing the game hardens those conceptions, which is fine. True of MP to a certain extent too, especially in bigger sandbox modes.
