logically we will never get real time graphics that are the same as what is possible using offline rendering techniques, the two will only converge toward each other. Imo this will stop being so much of a discussion point when photorealism in games loses its charm. Sure there will always be...

thats also the main reason why they are investing so heavily into their first party. It doesnt matter how many subscribers game pass has, elder scrolls 6 will cost whatever it costs, whatever id is working on now after doom eternal, its production costs dont increase with subscriber count. imo...

the real silver bullet for the series s is when they make a minecraft version of it and throw in a creeper action figure, would fly off the shelves as gifts for kids they could probably do a roblox one as well, really corner the young kid market for consoles

I think we will see substantial boosts in series s sales around Christmas each year, by next year (holiday 2022) I bet they could do a bundle for a series S with 6 months of game pass ultimate for $200, I bet that would fly off the shelf with people buying them for Christmas presents Plus when...

Some developers from Remedy were asked about what they thought of the series S and they basically echo what you are saying. Specifically they said that during this cross gen period, with games using engines that arent built around next gen systems yet, that series S hasnt really reached its full...

I think its unrealistic to expect game pass to appeal to everyone in India, especially the least well off. What it does do however is lower the floor for people who might consider gaming as a hobby. After a bit of research it seems that most console games are priced between $50-70 in India...

I know this is a bit of a necro post, but I wonder if microsoft has some killer deal on unreal engine licensing? Maybe wrapped up in their purchased of the gears of war ip I am hopeful that idtech will become microsofts general purpose engine moving forward (into the far future, not talking...

This is pure rumour territory, but apparently valve might have another punt at a steam machine, which honestly makes the most sense for "putting steam games on console", especially combined with Gabes “and it won’t be the answer you expect.” I cant imagine either of the console manufacturers...

by "ace up their sleeve" I am in no way saying that this is a move that makes everyone happy, if requiring xcloud support is a requirement for publishing games on the xbox platform, this is a massive boon to the content available for their future streaming plans. By requiring non-exclusive...

Saw this on resetera that I thought was interesting, plus did a bit of digging Microsoft making Xcloud support a requirement indie devs need to allow or risk being removed from Xbox? | ResetEra Microsoft is making supporting xcloud a requirement for publishing your game on the xbox platform...

Court documents from the Epic vs Apple case are the gift that keeps on giving, here is an email between Phil Spencer and Tim Sweeney. I wonder what "continuing to expand our console platform capabilities" means? Also microsoft was aware of what Epic planned to do with fortnite on ios before it...

the original title was correct, here is the document from tom warrens tweet that says that is was being considered by the gaming leadership team

yeah I agree that discord makes sense as part of a larger offering. I think monetizing the platform with ads would turn out better than people think, gamers apparently hate ads (as do I), and swear up and down that they will ditch a platform if they start seeing lots of ads, but they never seem...

yeah its all a waiting game at this point! I really think that microsoft will regret not acquiring discord while they have the chance, even if they have to pay more money than they feel comfortable right now. I could really see discord becoming almost facebook 2.0 as they expand their focus...

all the news around the talks between microsoft and discord did seem a bit leaky, it could make sense if they were purposely leaking info to pump their valuation up. I wonder if microsoft will invest in their next round? If anything just to ensure that they can get a board seat when/if discord...
