In the US we are protesting law enforcement being able to commit murder of black people in broad daylight being filmed on camera with other members of law enforcement and bystanders present but nothing happens. Again and again. These aren't terrorists, these aren't normal citizens, these are members of law enforcement getting away with murder.
How many other first-world industrialized nations have that routinely happen? Want to be outraged about Boko Haram, you'...
Protests in solidarity went on around the world.
What begins as peaceful protests turn violent. In some cities, cops start shooting with no provocation. In others, the tension is constant. In my city, one protest was peaceful, and another in a suburb resulted in a mall looting from a group that organized online.
Jake Paul was at that mall looting - you've gotta be kidding yourself if you think he's there to be part of any solution.
The previews make it that much more tense seeing "Delayed" on my Collector's Edition Best Buy preorder still :/
Do you want games to be art, to be thought-provoking, to challenge your thinking?
Or do you just wanna push buttons and smile?
The great things about video games, as with all artistic mediums, is that they can be whatever the artist, creator, visionary, developer wants them to be.
I personally can find as much fun in the charming, 35-years-a-damsel-in-distress Super Mario Odyssey as I likely will as a badass fearless lesbian in TLOU2.
Announcing the Xbox One as a Skype machine that connects to your set top box for Live TV... And also plays only the games you yourself bought, if you're online... Was a complete disaster.
It was the singular worst gaming industry moment I can think of. And then somehow they got even worse as their first party butchered Halo with MCC's release and 5's story, and released nothing memorable.
If it weren't for their huge 180s in policy, leadin...
In his defense, GameSpot shouldn't have a headline like that for what is essentially a game's beta test.
But yeah, he could have read the description without reading the article. Halo *Insiders*
Crazy things happen - who'd have thought MS six months ago would show the final system and controller before gameplay? Or not even show gameplay at a gameplay unveiling? But now that they've got that monthly 20/20 campaign...
Sony will show games only. Microsoft will respond with hardware pricing details, maybe a release date.
In July, when MS finally shows off their enhanced Xbox One games, Sony will dish the goods on price and release date.
Another developer failing to realize that performance & optimization > resolution
That's a great way to view the situation in a realistic way.
With Sony's resources and years of several studios/teams not releasing anything, I hope there's at least one game that can outshine something like a PS5-enhanced TLOU2
It's interesting seeing that this is his opinion. He's former Microsoft and left close around the time of that two-year directive. But...
Diablo 4 will release for the current gen well after next-gen launches.
Overwatch 2 is a sequel that's fully compatible with the content of the first game.
Cool, a major third-party VP wants next-gen only titles - but one of their two announced titles doesn't even break away from its prequel! Ironically, ...
Their last non-PS4 game was Titanfall on 360... Couldn't be more excited for whatever PS remake they've got coming
@Jin It remains to be seen what that twice-as-quick means.
For third-party games, does that mean a 2 second load versus a 4-5 second one, instead of a 45 second current-gen one? We know they won't go to the effort of PS5-exclusive assets.
For first-party games, will it be like UE5's demo where devs will make the choice of a higher-asset 30fps mode and high-performance 60fps mode?
Or will it evenly balance out with Series X's...
"Walking simulator" isn't exactly the good kind of free publicity, which overwhelmed the positives coming out about it. Then it got very polarizing reviews on top of that. It had a lot against it.
Also, the biggest actor in it is famous mostly from The Walking Dead and that series has gone downhill in popularity since Reedus got casted by Kojima.
@Razzer And you conveniently leave out the next paragraph, this little remark:
"...especially knowing how much untapped performance is still there in the box based on the work we've done so far."
2 weeks, no optimizations, already equivalent to 2080... according to DF's eye. On Xbox Wire, they detail that it's running at over 100fps, dialed up to Ultra, with 50% more particle effects. So regardless of 2080 or the ti, it's running...
Halo 4 went all-in on the lore from the universe outside the games, and 5 just killed that momentum by wasting our time with Locke instead of fleshing out just wtf happened to Cortana. The multiplayer on 5 was incredible.
Day One, Collector's Edition, take-my-money. But Microsoft needs this title to be perfect if they want the rest of their 1st party to be taken seriously.
"The core DNA of the game is still great and the overall experience still holds up beautifully today"
Price tag sucks, but this game is huge, the visuals are overall improved (as they damn well should be), and that 89 on metacritic absolutely speaks for something, considering they haven't overhauled the 2011-era combat system.
Microsoft and Nvidia partnered up super heavily for Minecraft RTX, and Microsoft premiered AMD's Ray Tracing implementation running on Series X with more Minecraft demos...
Indeed they did. UE4 will still be used heavily the next few years so that was a great way to see what well-optimized games will be able to look like, not being visually held back by OG Xbox One
Every console sells out at launch for the first few months. Couple that with how MS is finally launching another system with a Halo title.
@Razzer Merely charges, how many days did that take, why not, ya know, as soon as he was witnessed murdering someone by multiple people while on tape? And what about his three cop buddies that were right there and did nothing to stop it? Oh so they were fired, but where's their accountability for letting a murder happen right in front of their eyes?
