Oh yeah, I'm sure they're really worried about losing out on the tiny piece of revenue they get from putting their games on Gamepass. There's a reason 3rd parties don't put brand new games on the service.
I tested it on my Xbox One a few hours ago when it was happening, couldn't do anything after attempting to launch Gears of War except turn off the system or controller. This is the always online future Microsoft envisioned.
Anyone with a PS4 or Xbox One should not buy these "official" hard drives, they're no better than the cheaper models from Seagate, HGST, Western Digital, etc.
Tough luck? If Japanese developers thought the platform was worth targeting, they would.
I doubt this will go anywhere, Japanese developers are largely going to target platforms popular in their home country and the west, not just the west. If Xbox owners really cared about Japanese games they wouldn't own an Xbox.
I disagree, they establish a floor and provide an install base of more than 100m capable of playing the games. Look at the most popular titles on PC, they're games you can run on integrated graphics, not technical showcases like Red Dead Redemption 2. I say this as a 1080Ti owner that buys most multiplatform games on PC. Without consoles, many AAA games wouldn't exist.
I skipped 7 because I had no interest in a first person RE and don't own PSVR.
As a day 1 Switch owner I recall there being at least one update for the Pro controller in the time I've owned the system. Controller updates are uncommon on the Switch though, just as they are on the Xbox One.
If / when Red Dead Redemption 2 releases on PC it will probably be a Social Club exclusive.
Shame about it being 30fps even on the Xbox One X.
Same, I have a bunch of games still pre-ordered from when the discount was in effect.
I paid $700 for my 1080Ti when it launched in 2017, why would I pay $1200 for a new card a year and a half later that is only a little bit faster and doesn't even increase the amount of VRAM I get? I don't care about BFV and I don't care about unplayable tech demos and benchmarks. Now that 7nm is here expect Nvidia to rush out a Turing refresh before the end of 2019.
While I agree Valve should reduce their cut, I am not excited about all the different launchers fragmenting the achievements, friends lists, invites, and all the other features that Steam brought to us long before Epic even decide to have a game store. I am also not keen on installing a launcher ultimately owned by Tencent.
I am not interested in running a Chinese-owned client on my PC to play games, pass.
Gotta give MS credit for continuing to add stuff like this to the Xbox One S and X, Dolby Vision, FreeSync, and now this, very cool. Hopefully Sony takes note and starts adding similar features to the PS4 Pro.
Buying a new console this late, especially one this expensive, seems ill advised
This, playing it on the max settings on my pc without any reconstruction and a resolution higher than PS4 Pro or Xbox One X.
Agreed, I think the use of sub-native resolutions isn't a great sin at 4K given the pixel density is so high on monitors anyway.
It's not really 4K60 if you're using DLSS to achieve it.
I don't think MS should launch 2 consoles at the same time.
