@Goatseye watching The Expanse before Starfield like any good sci-fi fan should do.

Only issue is The Expanse will have a better story than Starfield

Just ordered an Obsidian Entertainment T-shirt from the MS store, I feel like the Xbox gear store is way to hidden on their site, under Xbox > Community > Gear Store.



Ride The Chariot || Games Complete ‘24 Edition

Few years ago.

Now.



Wait. Is Quakecon officially over? I figured the Starfield-themed Series X would be officially announced there.

It’ll be over in a couple of hours lol. Just the Starfield-themed graphics card (super sick one at that, but you have to win one) and Starfield-themed CPU box. 

I doubt Xbox will ever be featured at Quakecon as it’s a PC centric convention. If we were getting a Starfield-themed Series X, it definitely would’ve been at the Starfield Direct with the other hardware that was announced.



You called down the thunder, now reap the whirlwind

So, I'm not one to hyper-fixate on missing launch features (perhaps I've been too nice about it in the past); that said, what is the harm of re-delaying Forza at this point?  It's just so weird to have these random announcements of what not to expect for your most enthusiastic buyers.

Meh, I didn't even know Forza Motorsport had split screen until now, Lol. So I looked it up and the split-screen in Forza Motorsport sounds barebones (read that it's 1v1 only with no AI), I feel like split-screen is the new easy rage bait, nobody cares that Forza Horizon doesn't have split-screen, do people honestly largely use split-screen in Forza Motorsport? I'm guessing Turn 10 has the data that says otherwise.

It's worth listening to the video, he gives actual gameplay reasons as to why the other two features aren't coming which is different to why split-screen isn't coming (technical difficulties). The reason for spectator is because the spectator takes up a player slot in featured multiplayer. The reason for racing with AI in featured multiplayer is because of impacts on your safety rating (new feature).

For these 3 missing features, Turn 10 has added dozens of new features, which often get overlooked in these complaints. The level of track detail far exceeds what previous Forza Motorsports have had. This wasn't so much an "announcement" of what not to expect, they were announcements in the middle of a huge video delving into the multiplayer and all the new features, but the negativity gets more clicks, Lol.

Also, there's another ? in that he says two of these features aren't available in their new featured multiplayer, but doesn't make a comment if they're available in other multiplayer modes, here he was specifically talking about the featured multiplayer, we know that "no AI" is 100% talking about featured multiplayer only, it's likely that "no spectator" is only featured multiplayer only due to eSports.

Imo, they're all very minor missing features, 2 were removed due to design reasons and 2 are only removed from specifically a new multiplayer mode, I'm also not sure why or how many people, play online multiplayer for the purpose of playing against AI, Lol. The only "technical" issue here is the split-screen removal.
