Looking at the full Halo TV trailer, I have to say that it looks like someone put some real money at least into the affects. Color me more interested.

looks like I didn't miss much. Lots of CG trailers and meh-ish announcements.

Not much Microsoft can do, Apple won against Epic on the Appeals court yesterday I heard. It's either cave in and do what Apple wants, or no xCloud on iOS at all. It's going to be one big clustef*ck trying to download an app for each xCloud game you want to play, and Apple is going to steal so much undeserved microtransaction money from MS on any games that have MT's like Halo Infinite. The courts are bought and paid for, always have been.

To be fair they had their chance with Windows Phone. I really don't understand that position that Apple HAS to allow xCloud for them. They don't because it's business and if Apple sees it as a threat to their platform they have every right to do what's in their best interests. Microsoft could have pushed Windows Phone better instead of just abandoning it and they would have a bigger potential user base for xCloud on mobile as a result if they did. It was their choice to abandon WP, so it's basically a consequence of their own choice.

Oh yeah that Persona Fighting game skipping Xbox lol. The original is on 360 and not BC, but they can't be bothered to port to Xbox. Switch, PS, and PC.
Atlus: Fuck them Xbox gamers

The game is actually made by ArcSys who abandoned Xbox in early Xbox One days, so this is disappointing but somewhat expected. Also, there is no way to play it on modern Xbox hardware, because the game that is added to BC is the previous one - Persona 4 Arena. Ultimax is upgraded version of it and is a separate game.



 

A tip for those who are playing the UE5 Matrix tech demo.
You can disable the Matrix filter in the in game settings. Looks quite a bit better without it and you can better imagine how it would look in other games.

I'm surprised you can drive vehicles in the demo and they even have a full damage model.



Yeah the controls for changing equipment is fiddly as anything in halo. Shouldn't have to take my hands off analogue for that.

Should be tap RB to use equipment, hold RB for radial selection.

I guess grenades are the same problem but I've just been lobbing whatever it auto selects.

Phoenix Point (the XCOM "clone" that is also available on Game Pass) has received a free PS5 and Series X upgrade.

How does the game run now on Series X you ask? Well 4k 50 FPS. Yes, 50 FPS!

Btw. PS5 version runs at 4k 60FPS....

Errr... I mean I guess 50fps is ok if you have a freesync display, everyone else it's horrific.

Don't know what they're thinking.



I mean any game without story ( where it makes sense ofc ) should be viewed as +1.0 on the final score.

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

So the Matrix demo is all in game engine. I must say the meta human rendering of the characters is pretty next gen and I had my wife watch the beginning and she thought it was me playing some clip from the movie. Unreal Engine 5 is looking pretty good. The amount of rendering in the environment is very impressive.

Oh ok I didn't know that first part. I still think Atlus is just not going to bring anything to Xbox though lol. Glad I have a PS5 for that. Would be nice, but ehh. And it also sucks SE has become a 3rd party timed exclusive publisher. Still no word on FF 14 and FF 7R.
