I'm surprised we haven't gotten any demo walkthroughs where they show stuff that the last-gen just couldn't do. Makes me think that launch games aren't going to be that different from what we already have.

Not that surprising with how Microsoft lost the last gen - people have their digital game library on the Playstation ecosystem now and would lose it all (plus not get the free upgraded versions) if they switched to Xbox.

I think the Series S is going to have problems within a year or two - if you look at the performance of games like Jedi Fallen Order on the One S you see some insane hangs when it has to pause for a few seconds to load the next area which you don't see on any other platform. But I don't think that's going to compromise games in general, you're just going to have a worse experience on the S.

It's puzzling to me who or what the series S is for, since the selling point of 1440p/120hz gaming does not really jive with the specs whatsoever. You'll be lucky to hit 30fps on that machine, with current-gen games.

It's to get as many people onto the Xbox ecosystem as possible who feel that dropping >$400 on a console is too much. It'll appeal to students, parents with young kids, people that want to play on both Playstation and Xbox, etc. I don't think it's a bad plan business-wise for Microsoft but for devs that want to push the cutting edge of performance it kind of sucks.

I bought Andromeda at launch for Xbox One, beat it, then bought it again for $5 for PS4, and beat it again. Loved it both times, warts and all.

I would've gotten the plat too, if not for the online trophies for a game that has long since had its online presence eliminated.

On PC I'm still able to find games.

There's nothing about Andromeda that for me wasn't done better in Mass Effect 1. Everything about the story, direction of cut scenes, animation, characters, sound design, music, the scale of it, the world building was all done better in a game that came out 10 years before on the previous gen.

I know some people might prefer the combat but it became too shootery for me. Inventory management maybe? I still remember that being terrible in Andromeda.

Edit: These Mass Effect remasters better be decent. They should be part of Bioware's mea culpa for Andromeda, if they just poo poo out some basic ports with no real effort put into them then they can gently caress off.

ME1 combat is a horrible janky "I WILL DESTROY YOU" mess.

Andromeda is really fluid and fun to play around in, I wish more games just embraced letting you move around like crazy.

VideoGames posted:

Yeah I think I need to reword what I meant because I said it very incorrectly:

The way the file structure of the install went with the folder protected and uneditable, lead me to believe that microsoft store was way more walled off than games I was used to. Technically people mod games because they get to play with the files and such even if the game does not explicitly say you can mod this.

With the microsoft store acting the way it does with obfuscation I thought it would prevent people from just playing around with files.

By far the worst thing about walling off the files is that I can't add the games as shortcuts to Steam which I use as my launcher for every platform.

Everyone in here thinking that this was done to beat Playstation and not to kill Stadia is stuck in 2 generations ago thinking. This will hurt Playstation for sure but that's just a side effect of Sony being in the room with two giants with their service war going on.
