Despite fallout 76, Elder Scrolls Online, Silly bethesda cardgames or whatever the internet would lose itself with hype if Elder Scrolls 6 was announced. Bethesda is absolutely a big name and it's weird to think their games being xbone exclusive wouldn't move the needle.

ESO is doing real good last I heard 76 though lmfao. That was probably a harsh enough failure to make them course correct for whatever 5 is gonna be so maybe it'll all be ok.

wouldn't it be easier to just develop for the higher selling systems than assume that one publisher is going to sell enough systems to make up for the money you're leaving on the table?

Looking at top games by sales, the vast majority in the top 20 are multi platforms releases and some Nintendo. In the top 50 there’s only one Xbox exclusive (Kinect adventures lol) and one PS (the last of us). Elder Scrolls 5 will be popular, but if limited to Xbox and PC only?

I didn't say they weren't going to 'sell well', but they're not going to sell the same numbers when they're no longer releasing on the biggest platform and being available on Gamepass day one.

morallyobjected posted:the Kinect one has gotta be a pack-in, right? Yeah, Kinect Adventures was a pack-in with standalone Kinects and I think every console bundle that came with one. Most of the top bestselling games got that way from being a console pack-in (e.g. Wii Sports, SMB1, Tetris). TES6, exclusive or not, will definitely be a pack-in with whatever console Microsoft is headlining at the time. I wonder what they'll do about TES6 in East Asian territories if Xbox doesn't get more of a foothold there and they're trying to keep it off PlayStation. Will they just skip those regions entirely (no Korean/Chinese/Japanese localization)?

hanyolo posted:People in east asia don't own PCs? For gaming it's a lot more limited than console. I know off-hand there are a bunch of games which are technically multiplat, but you can only get them in Japanese on PlayStation. This was a thing with Blizzard Activision games for a while, for example (e.g. you can't play Diablo III in Japanese on PC or Xbox, only on PS3 or PS4). But Starfield is going to have to come first, TES6 is far enough in the future that it could legitimately be a game for the following gen, as alluded to earlier.

So we get one HDMI 2.1 cable with the console. Just connecting it to the audio receiver will probably not do anything nextgenny. Do I need to buy a second cable to put between the receiver and the TV or can I only connect the console directly to the TV? Then how do I get sound to my surround set?

I think it really depends on how new your tv and receiver are. If you have an older receiver and a 4K tv, you probably want to run hdmi from the Xbox to the tv, and then run a cable from the optical out on your tv to your receiver. If you have an hdmi 2.1 receiver, you can probably get HDMI Arc/eArc to work. Here’s some info on it: https://www.lifewire.com/audio-return-channel-1846845 Somebody correct me if I’m wrong here, I haven’t really dealt with much in the way of modern surround systems.

You're right, except ARC has been around for a long while, so there's pretty good odds the receiver will support it even if it doesn't support latest HDMI specs. That would let you avoid needing an optical cable. Or buy a new receiver so you don't need to change inputs on the TV

Always go source->receiver->display if you can (and want stable latencies), ARC is unreliable.

Ruffian Price posted:Always go source->receiver->display if you can (and want stable latencies), ARC is unreliable. Unless you need a lot of individual HDMI inputs that modern TVs don't have (>4) you should be running the HDMI into the TV and then optical out from the TV to the receiver. This will also allow you to set different picture profiles for each of the HDMI inputs.

American McGay posted:Why would routing the video signal through the receiver and then out to your TV be better for latency than plugging it directly into your TV? I had issues with the audio being higher latency than the video using ARC/optical, by a noticeable amount. The audio was behind the displayed video by a good .5s or so. I managed to fix it by loving around with the audio settings on the TV enough, but I still don’t entirely understand what fixed it. E: only the Xbox had this problem, for whatever reason. PS4 was fine.

I've been plugging all my media sources into a receiver for years and haven't had any latency problems, and I play lots of action games and the occasional rhythm game. I'm also trying ARC out for the first time since I don't have a HDMI 2.1 compatible receiver, and I haven't noticed any latency while mousing around a Windows desktop and playing videos. I'd guess any problems would come down to something specific to your TV or receiver or source, rather than something inherent to either approach.

I'm going to throw my own lovely situation on this pile: My TV only has 1 single HDMI port that can do ARC, and it's also the only port that can accept HDR content. The 4 other ports are all HDMI 2.0 and can do 4K, but not HDR or ARC. Maybe it's finally time for me to upgrade receivers. My receiver is HDMI 1.4a.

Is the point of ARC just to use an HDMI cable as an audio cable? I've noticed that some receivers and soundbars will have a pass through so you can go from a device, through the receiver to the TV and then also send audio back to the soundbar from other devices on the TV. But anything affordable only has on HDMI port for ARC so you have to waste on HDMI port on the TV to use as just an audio cable. It seems like an interesting concept that device manufacturers aren't sure how to use.

It seems like an interesting concept that device manufacturers aren't sure how to use. HDMI can carry more formats and higher audio quality than optical. If you’ve actually got 7.1 or want uncompressed audio, optical can’t do it. Frequently apps on the TV are the A/V source now, and you have to get the audio back to the receiver or soundbar somehow.
