Laserface posted:Remember project spark I did not remember this so I looked it up. Looks interesting...? The timing seems kind of bad. Right before the Mojang acquisition, and it looks like they envisioned it as a sort of 'roided up Minecraft. Something along those lines should inevitably be the successor. But my (hypothetical) grandkids will probably still be playing Minecraft if they still have electricity after the 2020 Apocalypse. Seedge posted:How about Hololens? That also seems inevitable. But I hope it's not Microsoft Windows Hololens 3 or anything because frankly I'm sick of giving Microsoft my money. I'm also sick of giving Apple my money. Feel free to include everything and everyone to that list. Spending money is on my list of things to quit doing. Fly Ricky fucked around with this message at 09:32 on Sep 20, 2020 |

Akuma posted:I don't really understand how it's any more of a challenge than any other SDK. It has gaps in the documentation but no more than anything else. It seemed to me he was put on the spot and didn't want to right off the bat say the X is better, it's something DF have avoided being explicit about in all video and written articles I've seen so far, so he began dodging the question with "well, devs sure are pleased with the PS4 to 5 transition!".

I had cable TV so the biggest one was having cable tv going while playing games so my household could split focus with a single screen in one space (TV did not have PiP for reference). It was also nice to be able to open other apps simultaneously with games. Actual implementation was kind of dumb, it should have been an overlay like actual PiP

It’s like the nighttime TV equivalent of cramming into the bathroom at 7 in the morning with your partner/kids so you can all get ready for work/school at the same time “Holy poo poo, Honey, did you see that no-scope? Yeah, I can’t believe that bitch got a rose this week again either”

Just a year after the Palm Pre I was earning real achievement points on my Windows Phone 7. It's in a box somewhere, I wonder if that still works. (unless I misremember and that was on Windows phone 8 or whatever lovely name it had)

Snap might have had a better reputation if it didn't have to take credit for killing the number 1 feature of the 360, playing your own music in the background of a game. With snap, you had to leave the snap window up to keep the music playing.

It was also nice to be able to open other apps simultaneously with games. The only time I used the Snap feature was when I would watch Netflix or Hulu on the main screen area and play Threes! as the snapped app at the same time. It was better than looking down at my phone! There was even an achievement for it.

Another next-gen technical interview happened as part of EGX Digital, this time Richard Leadbetter of Digital Foundry talked to Dirt 5 technical director David Springate. https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2020-09-20-developing-for-next-gen-and-120fps-with-codemasters-and-digital-foundry quote:It often falls to racing games to be some of the first over the top when a new console generation comes around - there's something about those gleaming car models that makes for excellent graphics showreels. This time, Codemasters' Dirt 5 is leading the charge. The off-road racing game launches day-and-date with Xbox Series X/S on 10th November, just ahead of PlayStation 5. It will appear on current-gen consoles too, but the next-gen version will be the subject of much interest, especially for its claimed 120 frames per second performance. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tPUMezUi-CY I really hope Dirt 5 turns out well. With no Forza or Gran Turismo this fall, I want a good showpiece racing game to play on new hardware. Zerot fucked around with this message at 15:41 on Sep 20, 2020 |

Taiwan's NCC released photos of different angles of the PS5. It doesn't look like there's any easy way to access wherever the nvme drive goes. Maybe you can just easily take off one of the side panels (hopefully whichever one is on top when you put the console on its side) and get to it. Who knows. Certainly not as easy as it would be to access the drive on the xbox. I'm sure Microsoft will screw it up by not letting you easily remove the drive and stick it in a friend's console so you can just bring your account and game over to their house and play a game with them.

Microsoft's Jason Ronald has said the drives are hot-swappable. I don't see why you wouldn't be able to plug it into a friend's Xbox Series X or S just like you can do right now with external hard drives on the Xbox One. https://twitter.com/jronald/status/1304795146442010625?s=20

I know less than jack poo poo about CPUs/GPUs/etc. but it would stand to reason Microsoft knows their own hardware better than the armchair speculators claiming it’s going to hamstring a whole generation. They’ve got a 1080p box and a 4K box. That’s the pitch and they’re surely run the numbers. Then again they’re also the morons who completely misread the market and had flip-flop the entire concept of the Xbox One so who knows.

Trying to justify picking up a preorder for the series X when it launches. Already have PS5 locked due to Demon's Souls, so I'm trying to see if series X has any exclusives at launch to push me over the edge. So far the only thing that looks interesting is Scorn, The Medium (though not confirmed launch, more like launch window?), and D2 (due to the cross-save/gamepass combo). Any other big and/or interesting stuff I'm missing?

It hasn't been locked down as a launch game yet, just 2020. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32gaWV-5hXg The Falconeer is giving me some Crimson Sky vibes which I wasn't expecting. I don't know too much about it but previews have been very positive. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LkuL-9II9Dk There's also Gears Tactics if you haven't played it yet.
