I found this pretty surprising - don't they have super fast cable speeds in the office? Then again, from what we saw during the QL the install times on the Xbox did seem long-ish, so maybe it was more that.

Man, Igarashi is great.
This console exclusive debut stuff is getting really dumb, I could of sworn that Starbound was already announced for Sony platforms but the game is now coming to xbox first because of the early access program I guess?

For a few weeks I've been getting really weird audio sync issues streaming the mp4 through the browser.
Was completely fine before that for as long as I've been on the site.
Everything is working fine on the GB player though.

fwiw, you'll probably want to wait until that one's done anyway

Digital version had the patches installed I assume as I was able to load up all of the 360 games without any hassle. Perfect Dark Zero feels like you're swimming through molasses, not sure whether that's just the game or the emulator. Reminded that it was really disappointing and linear compared to the first game. Think it holds up surprisingly well visually outside of the hilariously bad character models though.
Also, UI's used to be so bad. Guess Kameo and PD0 are 10 years old though(wow!)
That's not really a console exclusive debut in the way others are though. I'm sure it would be on the PS4 too if Sony had an early access program.

Time for Sony to start up a early access program.
And even fucking Fable.

It seems like you're better off waiting for that Terraria sequel thing to come out at this point, especially when it seems like general impressions of Starbound have been kind of tepid.
It just struck me as a really dumb point in the race for platform exclusivity, parading an unfinished potentially buggy game as some big deal is just bizzare.
Chance Hale
Member
Don't think it was paraded or made out to be a huge deal. It was what, 10 seconds long? Big, popular title for their new early access program.
TheMrPliskin

Sure it wasn't like they made a massive deal about it but they're clearly flagging this stuff as console exclusive debut to attract people to their platform and early access titles strike me as an odd thing to push for your console.
It also doesn't help that the game your promoting is Starbound.
starbound wasn't the only game they touted that way
promoting console exclusivity for an unfinished game is just insane but also very symptomatic, i suppose
I laughed so hard at their lineup for this year's "best lineup ever". Next year's might be interesting, but I don't think there was one 2015 game on that slide that you could pay me to play.

Gears is the newest franchise on that list and it's ten years old
Recore was on the banner.

Early access is something people are clearly interested in at this point as can be seen by its massive success on the PC. It's an interesting program that Sony, as of now, has no comparison to.
And Starbound has mostly positive press and user impressions. It doesn't get updates all that often, but what is there is generally well received and huge in scale. The only thing people complain about is frequent save wipes.

well we have to wait for the Recore kickstarters to finish for us to proclaim that a real game

It certainly wasn't the only game but it sticks out to me because it's not had the best history with it's PC early access. I'm sure this whole thing will stop being weird to me as time goes on, but right now I find it kind of crazy.
I'm not doubting that people are interested in early access as numerous early access games have done incredibly well, but it's a slippery slope. Hopefully Sony doesn't do something similar considering they're already raking in the indies, but I won't be surprised if they did offer something.
My point with Starbound wasn't in reference to the quality of the game but how it's early access was run, if people are wondering if your early access game has been abandoned then you're doing a poor job.

Halo Wars 2 is totally going to be a F2P moba isnt it?
Chance Hale
Member
If people were actually interested they'd pay attention and realize things are fine. But the problem is they don't actually care and just want to express worry for god knows why. Starbound gets much more frequent updates via the beta branch and constant updates on its development status via the developer website.
The only problem with early access is it has shown that people don't understand that making games takes time.

that would be something.
I'd imagine that it wouldn't be, though, because then that means that the only major Halo release for 2016 being a f2p poopba which i can't see happening.
edit: though i guess that Halo: Spartan Assault being the only halo game out on 2013 might go against my argument
there's been a halo release annually since 2007, a year that saw both Halo Wars and ODST come out. the halo series being milked like this kinda snuck up on me.

What in the lord is this Halo thing, not only is the commentary incredibly stupid but this gameplay is really dull as well. Jeff's reaction is absolutely perfect.
here ya go:
anyway, gonna upgrade to windows 10 now, kind of excited to get a new coat of paint on this thing

I think sports commentary is goofy all on its own so I will never get used to esports silliness. Not that games like Starcraft or Halo or whatever aren't involved or exciting enough to be able to support it but it just seems so ridiculous. Loud emoting in general doesn't do it for me though.
Kameo's controls are real clunky at times. You can't transform into a different form on an incline for one. And picking up an enemy to throw them keeps you stuck in the aiming mode after you finish.

anyone have any info on pax prime panel? if there is even one or not. i checked their forums and only thing is the pre pax party thingy.
There'll be a panel as always, and the GBEast crew talked about recording a Beastcast episode live at PAX so that's probably another panel. There'll also be a GSxGB panel of some kind. Details when the schedule is released.

At the ending of the show they had Phil talk about how MS was investing more into first party development and IP and Bonny Ross from 343 had a announcement and I totally had a "holy shit. They are going to let a team at 343i take a crack at a new IP. Thats amazing.". And then its Halo Wars 2 and thats great in its own dumb way but man.... It would be great if MS let some of its major teams take a crack at something new. A TLOU type move somewhere at 343 or Turn 10 or Lionhead would be great.
At least you can bank on Rare to toss new ideas out there.

Mario is certainly a bit more timeless than Marcus Fenix, Fable Man, Lara Croft 2.0 (Headshot! +10XP! but now I'm sad) and a car - and I say that as someone who can't stand Nintendo properties at this point.
Fuck that, give me Nuts & Bolts 2 motherfucker! I want my fucking flying boat car gunship hover thing to rise from the ashes and wreak terror upon various vehicle challenges once again!

I actually started to nod off during the Tomb Raider part, and Jeff's laughter at Halo Wars 2 woke me the fuck up.
If it played like a character action game, I'd be down. I love the art design of Battletoads even if I was never a fan of the game itself. You could do a lot with inflating body parts and all that tude.
i think battletoads totally fine, certainly not my brawler of choice, but ms latching on to this thing is super weird
as a popular entity, i would argue that it was barely above meme status, and now they're trying to turn it into some kind of ms mascot
like, nobody paused and said, "hey, maybe we should create a great original game that would have a character with some figurehead qualities that would represent us going forward"
even sony who had a similar problem gave it an honest shot with sackboy, and given the quality of their first party output, you'd think ms would have an even easier time launching a similar project and actually earn their mascot by way of a quality title
