GTA IV had awful car handling and remains the only GTA that I ever only played for just as long as it took to finish the story.

I didn't mind the car handling in GTA 4 but I blame it for the success of horse riding mechanics in major AAA games so I retroactively think it stinks

Hori announced their new line of Xbox Series X/S branded peripherals, and it's about what you would expect for the most part. I like the look of the Horipad wired controller. https://stores.horiusa.com/xbox-series-x-s-1/ The thing that stuck out to me was they are releasing a "3D Surround Gaming Neckset" for $99.99: https://stores.horiusa.com/3d-surround-gaming-neckset-designed-for-xbox-series-x-s-xbox-one/ That seems interesting, but I have never heard of something like this other than that Atari Speakerhat. There's no way this is good, right?

That neck-brace headset looks terrible, I can't think of a single good thing about it. At least it could spread out surround speakers instead of trying to bunching them up immediately around each ear, but they didn't even do that! And $100?? Is there a large market of Xbox fans with broken TV speakers and exquisite hairdos? GTA4 driving was the best of all GTAs, The Crew is a good series (1>2 except for the freedom and graphics), but the best racing game I played was the probably forgotten Test Drive Ferrari: Racing Legends, something about the handling and AI difficulty and historic vehicles just hit the sweet spot for me at the time.

GTA4 is another game I need to replay. I don't think I've ever completed a GTA game, I always get too distracted by the non-mission related things and then I forget where I am and what i'm meant to be achieving. Same with Red Dead. Been a quiet few days on the Sega rumours, I am still in doubt. Seems weird that they'd be teasing it so far ahead of it actually being announced, there were no hints before Zenimax

I finished the GTAV singleplayer, it was deeply unpleasant but some of the missions were good. You could tell it had a lot of Max Payne 3 DNA in it. GTA IV singeplayer was atrocious, the story was one of Rockstar's absolute worst.

https://twitter.com/Tzunami_Sapp/status/1309272481119830016?s=20 Apple TV app coming to Xbox. Seems to be available for some Insiders right now. Hopefully this means Apple Music comes soon. This is ridiculous. Sony needs to deal with the reasons this keeps happening with some third-party games. Eliminates a big appeal of cross-gen games.

Is "AppleTV" available on any other devices already? I would have thought that they would want to restrict it, not promote it. I figured they would want to sell their $199 hardware in order to watch their bad subscription service.

It's only for watching iTunes purchases and rentals and the Apple TV streaming stuff.

This is probably a stupid question, but I was looking at games and noticed something I don't understand. Let's take the new Assassin's Creed for example. You can buy it for PS4 OR PS5, but only one "Xbox", which says both "Xbox One" and "Xbox Series X" on the box. What does that mean exactly? Does the disc identify which system I'm on and flip it to Series X mode? Sort of like how some games are XBX enhanced or not. And if that's the case, why doesn't it work the same for playstation?

ultrachrist posted:This is probably a stupid question, but I was looking at games and noticed something I don't understand. Let's take the new Assassin's Creed for example. Yeah. Anything tagged with "Smart Delivery" will work across all Xbox One consoles and Xbox Series consoles. Same game, same save, it just downloads the assets the device you are playing on needs. This does not apply to every game because the publisher has to support the feature. quote:And if that's the case, why doesn't it work the same for playstation? Some games do work essentially like how Xbox does it, such as Sackboy: A Big Adventure and Spider-man: Miles Morales. There are quite a few games that are giving next-gen upgrades for free for owners of the PS4 version. The challenge right now is the communication around how saves work because there appears to be something going on with the way PSN and Sony handle games and assigning them internal identifiers. It's a mess. Some games are doing cross-gen saves, some are doing partial saves, and some aren't allowing it at all.

ultrachrist posted:This is probably a stupid question, but I was looking at games and noticed something I don't understand. Let's take the new Assassin's Creed for example. Correct. You stick the disc in, it detects your hardware, you install then play the Bone, BoneX, SeS, or SeX version of the game. Since these are treated as one title, your saves work across all of these whichever way you go playing. Be warned, not all games have to follow this setup; if they say "dual platform" instead of "smart delivery" it means gently caress you pay me for the new system version. For playstation I don't think anyone knows for sure but the rumor is Playstations back end doesn't work that way, that every title and region is a separate sku and therefore saves can't cross because the cloud save system isn't setup to see them as the same product.

Thanks for the explanations. I see the 'smart delivery' text on the box now. I feel like they could have come up with a better term for this. Amazon's UI isn't helping here either. I noticed Miles Morales could be bought on PS4 or 5, but 4 actually comes with the code for 5 instead of being automatic. And the saves transfer. Altogether it's a confusing purchasing experience.

ultrachrist posted:This is probably a stupid question, but I was looking at games and noticed something I don't understand. Let's take the new Assassin's Creed for example. A good chunk of "cross-gen" games on Xbox (namely the "Smart Delivery" titles) are being distributed as a single retail package. This is largely still unconfirmed, but the belief is that these packages will contain a single disc that installs the Xbox One version on an Xbox One and installs the Series X version on a Series X. This will most likely work by being able to pull from shared assets on the disc, although we don't currently what happens for games where the Series X version is meant to be larger than 50 gigs; will you just have to download the difference and be told to go gently caress yourself like with Halo MCC and Halo 5 and Gears of War 5 and Forza Motorsport 7 and countless others? Will there be multiple discs inside the package, since that's a thing now? What some devs have been saying online is that the PS5 is much easier to develop for overall, however the "store infrastructure" side of things is far more of a clusterfuck than it is on Xbox e.g. on PlayStation you have to build separate patches for each SKU of the game, with retail and digital being different, as well as each regional SKU and there can be a LOT of these especially since PlayStation has a much more commanding worldwide presence than Xbox does (e.g. many games don't bother releasing Korean/Chinese/Japanese SKUs in Japan because there's zero market there). This is causing a frustrating ripple effect in terms of how saves work between PS4 versions of games and PS5 versions, made all the worse because we know this is a solvable problem given some PS4->PS5 migrations are fine and we even had totally functional PS3-PS4-Vita cross-save back in 2014. Seems when Sony said they believed in generations they weren't loving around.
