Would you guys count Wasteland 3 as A or AA? I’d say AA with the various little touches. Either way then stepping up to AAA is exciting. Think their most graphically intensive game was Bards Tale 4.

The camera angle would make it AA imo.

What does camera angle have to do with the scope and budget of a game? I’ve seen plenty of indie and single A games that had isometric viewpoints. I do agree that Wasteland 3 is AA though. They had between 80-100 devs while developing it, which is right smack dab in the AA range in terms of team size usually.

I believe with the crowdfunding and publisher fees Wasteland 3 development started with a $10m+ budget, Since they joined XGS they have improved the graphics and fully voiced the game with all it's branching paths which can't of been a cheap thing to add in along with an extra year or so on the development cycle to improve the games quality across the board, I'd expect the budget now to be in the region of $20-30m

Top down games cant match the type of experience you get from an fos or tps. You cant explore the world as freely as you'd like and also gameplay is very pimited.

Project XCloud is starting to roll out in the following countries.

  • Belgium
  • Denmark
  • Finland
  • France
  • Germany
  • Ireland
  • Italy
  • Netherlands
  • Norway
  • Spain
  • Sweden

Thanks.

Tried it but wasn't able to properly stream anything.
Biggest issue was that the controller I paired with my phone couldn't control anything on the Xbox. It was able to control the streaming app with it though.

Then the stream would interrupt every few minutes. My X1 isn't connected via ethernet but I didn't expect it to be that bad.

In short, streaming via laptop is far superior.

Wow, I think this is the worst Games with Gold month I've ever seen, on a personal level at least. Not a single game that is even remotely interesting to me. I really hope the May Gamepass releases are better. Hopefully we finally get some of the 10 Final Fantasy games they said would release on Gamepass in 2020.

For sure. The May event practically guarantees a announcement of big games being available “right now” or shortly after the digital event ends. Easy shock value.
