Looks like John at DF is responsible for getting Omega 5 relisted on the Microsoft Store. Not sure if it was on the BC list already, but if not, an extra thanks go out to him for getting the powers that be to make the addition. Going slightly offtopic, I think Microsoft should have done a...

This is a summary of the talk about the checkerboard rendering used in Dark Souls Remastered on Pro and XBX. It's a work done by QLOC. It's a very interesting document about CBR rendering and a rare source of information about some specific hardware existing on Playstation Pro (Neo): ID Buffer...

I'm sure some of you have read the rumblings that new additions to the backwards compatibility list will be coming in November. Today there is an article from trueachivements.com that gives some hints to what these titles might be. There are a couple in the below article that I will have to dig...

This game is now infamous. I'm surprised that there was not a thread related to it already. The 2nd "demo" "trail" "beta" whatever you want to call it is now live on both the PlayStation and Xbox platforms. Favor Resolution Mode: Favor Performance Mode: Here is a Frame Rate Analysis video...

I was hesitant to take on the task of creating this thread, but I figured this would help myself and others with future purchasing decisions. After purchasing several recent games, I was very disappointed to find out that many of them don't support Quick Resume. Even worse when the game really...

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...

from a leaked document obtained by Tom Warren (linked below), there is an indication that the percentage of revenue that microsoft will take from all sales on the xbox consoles will also decrease to 12% like the already announced changes to the PC store. It seems that this lower revenue cut...

Microsoft is expanding into 'serious gaming' with a new studio called studio alpha, WalkingCat on twitter just leaked this slide. The slide seems more tools focussed than anything but the job posting seems to indicate that the studio is working on a 'serious' game. I would just highlight the...

Just an announcement trailer.

So I saw a bunch of people on the internet mentioning playing this, sure enough it is on gamepass (though I would have laid out 20 for it anyway). The Genesis Mini reminded me Tetris is still fun and I was totally down for a modernized remix. Holy cow the first level blew my mind! It's Tetris...

Just recently discovered that I could finally use my other Xbox consoles using my main profile to run apps and do other stuff. It doesn't allow running games though which is understandable. Basically when I log in to my X1X it doesn't log me out of my X1S so I could play a game on X1X while on...

It's coming: Exclusive for Xbox One Series X (?) and PC, also on Xbox Game Pass. When I saw this scene, I thought, a remake of the original game would be announced,

It's been shown during a few different events in the ID@XBox montages. Unfortunately there hasn't been any solid word on release date. Here's the initial trailer and gameplay from early on:

This is obviously my opinion, but I'm interested to see if others think the same as me, or if I'm an outlier Currently I think that Turn 10 is the equal of Polyphony with regards to racing sims (Forza vs GT). I think both games are in the same league, and while some people my prefer one over...

Yea there's that business reason. For me dropping the 50m XO's isn't the issue. It's that the 1X is a fraction of that and to support the 1X even if it wasn't mandated by MS that you can't do one without the other, by the time you put in the work to get it running on 1X you may as well release...

When MS introduced UWP, it implied a future where games were built and deployed to the Windows Store for PC and XBox use, with "buy once, play anywhere." This should have seen a lot of XBox games appearing on the Windows Store and giving it some more value where it might then have gone on to...
