I've told you this before, but I keep seeing you bring this up so I guess I'll say it again. You're probably not gonna see the X1 version till launch (or a few days before when somebody gets an early copy). PC centric devs almost never show off anything but the PC version, and when they do, it is pretty much always the version of the most popular console. Reason being simple. For one, that console will have a larger fan base (obviously) to market to, and secondly the console version differences aren't major enough to have a real need to show off both. 

I don't think this is on CD Projekt though, MS has a marketing deal with CD Projekt for Witcher 3, I'm sure they could get footage of the Xbox One version if they wanted to. In fact, at the press events CD Projekt has been very forthcoming about which version is which, they had all 3 versions side by side for comparison: http://elchapuzasinformatico.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/The-Witcher-3-Xbox-One-vs-PlayStation-4-vs-PC.jpg

It's just a shame that MS won't show us some Xbox One footage before release. We've heard that it's close to PC high (PC high was used for the PAX footage), but we don't know just how close and I'd prefer to see for myself rather than take their word for it.

According to that picture, it looks really good so I'm not worried

You did say that no game would be left if all the games I find bad would be taken out, but that's where you are mistaken and enters my evaluate argument. I can evaluate games I dislike, me disliking something doesn't mean I find them bad. Well cod and metal gear are bad games but something like just cause 3 isn't even if I dislike it I can evaluate it positively. I mean I'm not blind, that's why I take pride on my opinion and arguments.

I think you're taking what I said far too literally. When I said what I said there was no distinction to me between what you consider bad, and what you simply dislike. Especially since you usually have a very matter of factly tone when talking about anything you dislike and basically say it sucks as fact (at least that's how it comes across).

What you're saying now about MGS and CoD just backs this up really. You say they are bad games. Like it's a fact. It's your opinion, which I'm totally fine with, but an opinion nevertheless.

Anyway, my only point was that you really don't care too much about most games getting out of the 1st round, and I meant nothing more by it than that

I've said it before over here, I don't really see any need to add imo and stuff like that to my comments. That's just dumb considering how every comment is a opinion.

What's the difference between "my taste is prestige" and "my taste is prestige, imo"..?

Don't assume dislike=sucks tho Stuff like cod, metal gear, tlou, uncharted, tomb raider, are bad games for different reasons. But mario, zelda, for example.. aren't bad.

Microsoft HoloLens updates to be discussed in Build 2015; former Lionhead chief to lead game development for platform

microsoft.com/microsoft-hololens
Microsoft's groundbreaking hologram device called HoloLens.

Microsoft made several adjustments to its personnel lineup before the highly anticipated HoloLens reaches retail stores. 

Engadget recently reported that the Redmond-based tech giant hired former Lionhead Studios chief John Needham to directly be in charge of all the internal developments for some of the games that will be featured on the company's gaming console brand Xbox as well as the upcoming HoloLens platform. 

Needham, who used to be the head of the gaming studio that brought "Fable" to the market, now has to work directly under Microsoft Studio's portfolio investments team head Kudo Tsunoda to oversee the whole development process for the future offerings of both platforms. 

A representative from Microsoft reportedly gave a statement about the new personnel addition to Engadget, saying: "John Needham relocated to Redmond in a new role overseeing internal development for several games and experiences for both Xbox and Microsoft HoloLens reporting to Kudo." 

The Microsoft HoloLens was first announced at the company's Windows 10 event back in January, and people have been intrigued about it since then. The official website dedicated for this upcoming product posted its product description, saying:

Microsoft HoloLens features see-through, holographic, high-definition lenses and spatial sound so you can see and hear holograms in the world around you. Complete with advanced sensors and a new Holographic Processing Unit (HPU) that understands the world around you, Microsoft HoloLens is able to run without any wires while processing terabytes of data from the sensors in real-time." 

Microsoft also mentioned that the HoloLens is a separate product from their other device lineups, but it will be powered by Windows 10. It can function properly even without the support of wires, smartphones, or PC connections. 

At this point, the Redmond firm is keeping a lot of other information about the Microsoft HoloLens device, including its official release date. But it is expected to be discussed during the Microsoft Build Developer Conference 2015 scheduled next week.

I'm not saying you have to add imo to everything you write. Just certain people, yourself included, have a tendency to state things in a more factual manner than others. Again, totally fine (as long as people know that about you), just an observation.

 

And you're still missing my original point....but whatever, it's not a big deal. I was just teasing you a bit, and I don't really feel like discussing it further now.

An updated version of Halo 3: ODST's campaign and a reimagined version of the Halo 2 multiplayer map Relic should be added to Halo: The Master Chief Collection next month, developer 343 Industries has announced.

"We’re excited about the progress of the Relic multiplayer map remake and the Campaign for Halo 3: ODST, both of which are on track to release within Halo: The Master Chief Collection next month with our next content update," 343 Industries said in an update to Halo Waypoint. "Look for more details next month, including the final map name for the Relic remake, release date, and more.


As Microsoft previously announced, if you played Halo: The Master Chief Collection between launch (November 11) and December 19, you'll get it for free as an apology for the game's troubled launch, which suffered from severe matchmaking issues.

The Halo Waypoint update also details a long list of improvements and bug fixes included in the most recent content update, which you can read in full here.

For more on The Master Chief Collection, check out GameSpot's review and previous coverage.
