Does this mean that the long standing rumor that the PS5 doesn’t have full RDNA 2 features true? 

You want me to pull up a dictionary page of the word "only" for you?

Phil Spencer was just on a podcast and said he believes that Gamepass is sustainable at it's current pricing in spite of all of the recent acquisitions, no plans for a price increase on current tiers. He recently mentioned the possibility of a 3rd Gamepass tier above Gamepass and Gamepass Ultimate though, I would assume that 3rd tier will be at least $20 per month and include all 1st/2nd party DLC and have earlier access to 3rd party games or something.

Would be cool if they can make a deal with Ubisoft and EA to create a single package that includes all of their services together in one price.

I agree, they need to make a deal with Ubisoft to get all Ubisoft games on Gamepass/xCloud day one for an additional fee, like Google and Amazon have already done on Stadia and Luna. 

I suppose Ubisoft chose Amazon and Google because it seems like booth of them created a service which allows Ubisoft to use them just as infrastructure providers for their own cloud service, so to speak. Because as I understand correctly, you buy a subscription from Ubisoft and you can play their games on either Luna or Stadia. So, Amazon and Google just provide the infrastructure in this case and the service itself is provided by Ubisoft. It gets a little bit complicated with Microsoft because Gamepass also means that the games are playable on console and Ubisoft probably is not ready to put their games day one on a subscription service for the console.



 

Currently about 10 hours into Yakuza 0.

This is the first time I properly played a Yakuza game (owned but barely played Yakuza 3 on PS3). 9 hours of that within the past two days. Looks like I'm really digging the game but I wouldn't go that far. I have plenty of criticism for the game.

1) Way way too many cutscenes. Also I don't get why they change the type of cutscenes they're using so often. From artistic (almost) still images with voices to in-game text boxes without voices to in-game text boxes with voices to pre-rendered cutscenes.

2) No English dub. Not even every line is voiced in Japanese.

3) meh-ish graphics. Everything pre-rendered looks fine but the difference between that and in-game graphics is quite big. Every NPC other than the main protagonists and antagonists look pretty bad. Face detail is very low and so is skin texture complexity. Hair looks terrible as well. Surroundings look alright but not impressive. Game runs at 1440p on Xbox One X and yet I can cleary see aliasing artifacts in the distance. So either the game is using a bad type of AA or they should aim for 4k in future releases. The game's originally from 2015 so I guess the more recent ones will look a bit better.

4) I still don't know what the game is trying to be. It's around 70% cutscenes, 15% running around districts and 15% fighting (distribution changes if you include the optional mini games). I wouldn't even say that the fighting is that good. Some fighting styles seem to be much superior to others (could change if you fully upgrade their abilities). It's pretty chaotic and hard to hit a specific enemy. Especially if you use something like the capoeira style or using objects with the beast style. Honestly I prefer the combat in Sleeping Dogs.

I'm quite happy that Kiwami 1 and 2 seem to be much shorter in comparison (~18 hours each). Not sure if I would touch them if they were also 30+ hours like Yakuza 0. Yakuza 7 on the other hand.... 45 hours for the main story.



Xbox Empire with no headlines, spookiest thing I’ve seen thus far.

Tell me why I’ve been waiting and anticipating this game since I played the demo LOL don’t judge me 😂😂



Glad to see Microsoft making changes to the 343 leadership. I think the leadership team there had proven they are not good enough, time for others to step in and get 343 to reach their potential.



Glad that smaller games like Wasteland are finding a healthy playerbase. Power of gamepass.
