Phil nails the coffin shut on those hoping Bethesda IPs will launch on PS5;

Sounds to me F2P kinds of games will come to PS5 (ES: O, Fallout 76, Fallout Shelter), but their traditional shooters and RPGs will be Xbox/PC.

Is the HDR calibration tool out for everyone yet? If it is and you haven't used it, I absolutely suggest doing so. Completely streamlines the HDR calibration for games and has made my games look even better.

It is out for everyone and I agree everyone should use it. Way less confusing than some of the in game calibrators. Set it and forget it.

Yeah, on my TV has poor HDR support, and before I had to turn HDR off for some games, but now the troublesome games have at least acceptable HDR

Yeah HDR is so wildly different from tv to tv, and the in game settings (like paper white and max luminescence, don’t always help the user adjust it properly) This way the Xbox knows your settings on black levels and how high in whites it can go, in a way that’s easy to understand for the user, ensuring that they are getting the best HDR experience thier tv can muster.

Is there any official word on how the HDR calibration app works? Are you sure it works for older games? I loaded up Assassin's Creed Origins (one I could never settle on HDR settings for) and you can still adjust the HDR settings so it's not like this app overrides game settings.

Don’t quote me on this, but I think it just adjusts the consoles base/ default HDR settings

Over 23 studios ?

Could be him misspeaking, could
Be him referring to studios with different teams/ locations. For instance, when folks say 23, BGS is only counted for one where they have sister/daughter studios BGS Montreal, Dallas, and Austin. Dallas and Austin used to be their own studios, only Montreal is an original extension.

Xbox's Phil Spencer: 'We'll see more console hardware down the road'

Even with Project xCloud and premium services driving Microsoft's business, the company has no plans to abandon console hardware.

So Microsoft isn't done with console hardware soon, after all.

Has Microsoft announced a XO event for this year?
Are there any news about the possibility to play your own games in xcloud?

Good. Ive been saying for forever that MS would have a much easier time breaking into South Korea and once it's well established it may help pave the way for improved adoption in other Asian countries. Very smart of them.

 

[Xaero Gravity]

How does it work?

It's in the display settings for the console itself. You calibrate your HDR settings and when you boot up a game with HDR, it automatically matches those settings for you.

Maybe I shouldn't hype myself up, but I really think starfield is going to be something special.

This is Drew Murray
For those of you that don't know him, he is a former Insomniac Games game director, and he is the motherfucker who directed Sunset Overdrive
(He is also behind many ratchet and clank games and the Resistance series, but we don't care about that)

He has been working at The Initiative, microsoft's new, build from the ground AAA+++ studio since 2018
And here comes the tease:




Usually, I am the last one to tell you to get hyped.
but... get mother-fuckin-hyped!

Now, which one of you technology beasts can enhance for me the tv reflection on the eyes of Drew's beautiful daughter?

Minecraft DXR?

If this were a Souls-esque launch surprise, I would be so happy. Even just a concrete date would make me happy. It’s like they showed Minecraft fans the coolest thing ever, then peaced out. On top of the same happening with the super duper graphics pack, and then it getting cancelled.

I think it was mentioned in an article this week, maybe a Q&A session, that Quick Resume is something that is done with the Internal SSD, so there will be a partition of it used for it where game states are saved even if those games run off the external on USB HDD
