jehurey

Its become its own PUBLISHING division. LOL Its literally going to be running on hardware manufactured and supervised under the Azure team. That's merging the Xbox hardware division. Phil Spencer will never oversee a new Xbox design for CONSUMER HARDWARE as long as he's employed at Microsoft. It ended with Scarlett and Anaconda. Maybe he might get to work on a new controller refresh. lol

So Microsoft did to lemmings what Nintendo did to sheep with Zelda Twilight Princess and BOTW. All these years just so that they can finally reveal the game...........on another platform you have to buy.

I think Google will keep it at $20/month, or possibly combine it with like their Youtube Premium or Google Music subscription for like $30/month And it will be "all games" available to play, except I think they would institute a cap on how many people can play a certain game at any one time. I think Google will go to the game developers and say that they are not treat it as one game license = one subscription but rather "we're buying (or leasing) 500,000 licenses of your game for X amount of months, we get to have our users share the game licenses, but we limit the amou

We already caught him once trying to use the PC to support his theory that "most people buy digital anyways" He did have graphs for the consoles, people CLEARLY bought physical copies of Witcher 3 more than digital. We caught him peddling that bullshit just last week..............and here he is trying to do it again.

There's more than just grains of salt, Michael Ironside did voiceover for a DLC pack for Ghost Recon early last year. He got really mad the moment you caught him trying to change his argument. Really mad, and then spewed for 3 pages straight. LOL

Now its "Nadellas's vision" Yeah. Here's a clip of how that conversation for his "vision" went down with Phil Spencer

voice over is "generated"? Chances are they had like 8 different people do the entire voiceover.

The people who are pushing streaming subscription have one thing in common. They aren't currently developing a single game that is exciting people. Mario Maker 2 on a streaming service or integrated in some web browser would be a hit.................because its a premier video game company making a highly addictive and appealing game to the masses. And if Google and Microsoft don't have that, then the "tech" doesn't matter, now matter how nifty it is. You have no idea what Sony is doing, but one thing is certain, the people in charge of Sony's co

Its better than 12 month droughts.

No. The name of the game........is games. Always has been, always will be. The phone industry, with its 800 million phones currently active around the world......should've killed the 3DS. And you made a NEW excuse for that even though highly success mobile phone games exist. New technology doesn't not kill "old" technology........unless new technology has games as good as old technology. Its that simple. And the plain fact of the matter is that xCloud is going to be running on Xbox One S, the xCloud first-party lineup is probably goin

They'll have more games this year, clearly.

Ok............I'm looking at streaming technology that is primarily a one-way delivery method that can actually pre-load upcoming information. Why do you keep comparing game streaming when Music/Movies/TV have advantages that gaming can never have because it has to succeed with low-lag two-way high-speed communication or else it COMPLETELY fails. Its like building the best console and it completely sucks because the controller cannot communicate effectively with the console. You're using Music/Movies/TV to help prop up gaming. Streaming is not go

And more powerful than the Xbox One X version as well. Those GTX 670's are delivering 2.7 TFLOPS each, for 5.4 TFLOPS, and since those are nVidia performance metrics, thats probably about 7TFLOPS in AMD GCN performance. Yeah those old nVidia gpus in SLI would do the trick. Wonder what the cost was.

LOL there are definitely people here who want to portray xCloud as Microsoft actually getting in front of the next upcoming gaming trend. So much so, they actually WANT to wish traditional console gaming hardware to fail. They want to act all Nostradamus on the subject. So when they can't really prove that streaming will bring in new gamers, they switch the argument to "well, uh......it will steal traditional gamers who are tired of having to buy hardware!!!" No, it will attract traditional gamers who don't see the value of their hardware platform because th

I'm calling it right now: Destructible foliage with every blade of grass, every broken tree branch and brush, and keeps it in memory for a while. The robots will be able to track you that way, and vice versa.

We KNOW this, because the only device that truly brought in new gamers was the Wii. And Wii games that succeeded were because of a different method of playing games, NEW types of games (relatively new, compared to the standard type of games coming out around that time). OLD types of games that were shoehorned into the Wii didn't sell well. If people don't want to play the games on PS4/XBO, and you offer the same type of games via streaming, you expect them to start playing it? I think Madden would get a boost because a lapsed 45 year old gamer mi

I don't think anybody here has been thinking about what Guerilla could be doing with a Horizon sequel and just the amount of improvements they will be working on. I genuinely thought they could churn out a sequel by late 2019, but if they were already aiming for PS5, then its only getting better. They are going to tech demo the shit out of that game.

Streaming is not going to bring in a substantial amount of new gamers or "lapsed" gamers. The reason why those people are not playing games is not because of the METHOD, its because of the TYPES OF GAMES. Here let me explain it to you: [Lapsed Gamers]: "I'm not going to be some overly complex open-world game with this controller that has all these buttons when i can barely control dual joysticks." HOW 'BOUT IF WE STREAM IT IN YOUR WEB BROWSER!!!!! [Lapsed Gamers]: "How does that change my predicament?"

There are 10 year old kids who watch gameplay videos of games on youtube all day long. The video will pause, and an advertisement will say "Play this game, from this spot right now, sign up for Stadia" and those kids will ask their parents to pay for it, or possibly just click the buy now button and it automatically charges their parents' CC. Stadia integrating itself into youtube is so unbelievable superior in terms of marketing and visibility than anything Playstation has done with attempting to market PS Now, and anything Microsoft will be able to do with xCloud.

I bet older PC gamers would actually love this. I wonder what the file sizes for these might be. Those games were very long, they'd probably be better as digital downloads to have them on your Switch to play at any time.

Microsoft isn't even going to have the best streaming service demo at E3 this year.

Aw man, what awesome deals. I missed last month's fire-sale, better get on this.......or else, I'll have to wait for July's fire-sale.

Desperate into think Sony is conceding the hardware market to become a third-party cloud publishing company. That's what you are desperate to hope that's happening. Because Microsoft is turning into a third-party publisher. Except they can't even afford to publish PHYSICAL third party retail discs, they're a third-party digital publisher. On the level of D3 Publishing and Devolver Digital.

Nah, at least 2/3's of those are going to be ports. And that is good news, we're effectively seeing the end of one of the biggest gripes about Nintendo platforms. Its no longer third-parties "dipping their toes in the water" mentality anymore. Third-parties are now actively relying on Nintendo's platform for sales. Those Mortal Kombat 11 numbers from Amazon's best-seller list is a big indicator to publishers like EA and Activision. I think EA is throwing Madden and another FIFA on there. Switch ports are just straight-up selling more than Xbox One ports, and third-parti

Considering that the Playstation hardware team literally said that the news from last week was completely unknown to them. ...........................no, absolutely nothing you said is remotely true nor possible. Its funny that your desperate-ass is thinking it, tho.
