I just got Kingdom Come Deliverance since it was on sale. I’ve given up hoping for a FPS boost on it. I previously had it on the PS4 but the input lag was absolutely atrocious. It actually feels much better on Series X to play, definitely less input lag. Also the load times no longer being minutes long helps. Game looks nice, it’s a pity it’s only 30fps though.

I noticed the same thing with RDR2, played it on PS4 but now on XSX the 30 fps does not feel bad at all. Plays great and still looks fantastic.

GQ has an interview with Phil Spencer. https://www.gq-magazine.co.uk/culture/article/xbox-phil-spencer-todd-howard-interview The most important revelation: we almost had a rotating Xbox logo on the Xbox One X. quote:It’s 2017, and the head of Xbox is in a design meeting for the Xbox One X. He’s deliberating on a motorised button. It rotates so the Xbox logo stays the right way up whether the console is sitting vertically or horizontally. The designers love it. The brand bods love it. “They never like our logo sitting sideways,” he tells us, chuckling.

Thanks Phil! I picked up Encarta 97 for like $20 on clearance when 98 was coming out. Biggest bargain in the world at that time to have an encyclopedia for that price, incredibly useful to have as a citation source for essays at uni.

I remember in '93 or '94, I cited the American Heritage Electronic Dictionary in a paper, and had to wing it for the format of the citation because there wasn't guidance on how to cite electronic sources at that point. My prof wrote something like "Is this what the world has come to?" next to the end note.

Zerot posted:There was too much corroboration from multiple outlets and journalists around the Switch Pro for it to have been a fabrication. There's a possibility with anything pre-announcement that things changed and/or wires got crossed. Plus there were multiple global catastrophes over the span of several months which could have changed plans. I absolutely believe that the Switch Pro rumors are/were mostly legit, and that it was most likely replaced with the Switch OLED (at least for this year) due to the manufacturing issues and component shortages that have been plaguing basically everyone. but folks can believe what they like

Encarta ‘94 came bundled with my first Windows machine and my only memory of it is that there was a picture of turtles having sex in one of the articles and it was the funniest thing in the world to me.

I would imagine that's where the Xbox design team thought of the idea. "Let's do that....but motorized!" and R&D comes up with the idea but like that quote says, that's $100 million of part that is pure whimsy and could also fail somehow. Cost engineering takes all the fun out of everything.

In the hands of competent devs the Switch can pull off stuff like The Witcher 3 and Monster Hunter Rise and that's needs-suiting for pretty much everybody, with the most vocal complainers still overwhelmingly buying drat near everything Nintendo puts out anyway.

Boar It posted:I just bought a Series controller or whatever you call them. Upgrading from an ancient wired 360 controller. I was quite surprised by how good the rumble in the triggers feels, a game changer for forza at least. However I noticed that they make some noise unlike the regular "main" rumble. Is this normal? Every mention of it while googling I find clips where the triggers make horrible scratching noises and whatnot where they definitely sound defective. My controller doesn't sound like that at all but depending on the intensity of the trigger rumble it is definitely auidable. It is reminiscent of the haptic feedback in the steam controller (but not as.. "clicky"?) in case anyone has used one of those. Just a humming electric motor sound of sorts. The noise isn't distracting while playing Forza but I tried Back 4 Blood also and it was super loud because whenever you take damage in that game it maxes out the trigger rumble for some reason. That was when I first noticed it even makes a sound. Just want to make sure this is normal, otherwise I'll return it and get another. Hate to ask again but can anyone help me out here? Would be greatly appreciated. I've been trying to find a definitive answer by googling, but I can't find any proper information regarding the trigger rumble.

Gamespot posted:After graduating in 1990, Microsoft offered Spencer a full-time programming job in the multimedia group, where he went on to lead development on CD-ROM titles, working on projects like Encarta and the launch of MSN in 1995. In 2000, Microsoft officially entered the North American video game market with the announcement of its first home console, the Xbox. A man named Ed Fries was put in charge of acquiring first-party studios. When Microsoft eventually set up a new division, Microsoft Games, later the same year, Fries sought out Spencer. "His pitch to me was, ‘I've got this studio that I should probably shut down. Do you want to try running it before I do that?" Spencer said.

kri kri posted:None of my controllers make any sort of audible noise. I would just return it, probably not worth dealing with xbox support. Thank you! I was unsure since my friend's xbox one controller is apparently audible and some random dude on the xbox discord said it is normal too. But if there are silent controllers out there then something is obviously up. Luckily the store I bought it from has a 30 day return window (regardless of usage) so I'll do that and hopefully I won't get another dud. I figured if this was the norm there would be a lot more complaints since while it is fine when wearing headphones, I can imagine it being far worse while playing with speakers.

The only noise I ever get out of my controller is when Forza is adding feedback to the brakes the rumble gets a little audible, but nothing I would consider concerning. Boar It posted:Thank you!

Since you have an exchange window I would do that. If the new one does the same thing you can post a video or something and we can compare.
