So what this tells me is that PS5 players think that Starfield is a better game than Saros.

Hard to tell, as Starfield was on sale for 23 days when Saros launched on the 30th. With the most data Saros would have gotten for April likely coming from early access(2 days early) and launch day. I don’t know if Circana included any time after April.

Has Steam always done a monthly sales ranking? I always thought it was just a yearly thing.
Looks incredible! O_O
Congrats to the team, it’s great to see smaller studios find success!
BTW is the SX version OK now? I remember reading that it had some tearing problems or something like that. I want to play a FPS and this looks really cool so if it’s in a good state now on Xbox I will definitely get this in the next few days.
Yes, they have.
If you had to choose, what would you rather have on Xbox?

New rumor out there.
That’s not a rumor, that’s Jez sourcing opinions for an article. In replies he says it’s not based on info, but a gut feeling, as well.

Hmmm… Yeah, I don’t like it. Rumor I guess, until we get some more confirmation from other sources. Although Tom Henderson’s sources are all pretty good.

Article Tom Henderson made a post on.
If true, they better take “looks like shit” to the heart and back out quick.

I don’t think they will. What also sucks about this is that writing and voice acting will suffer to have NPC respond to people.
That this could even be a poll for customers is wild to me. I genuinely don’t get how Jez could even pose the question. To me this shouldn’t even get ragebait. Consumers should just automatically dismiss it. One option gives actual value to consumers and the other is just console war fuel ego boost. IF a lack of exclusives is truly devaluing Xbox and Day one Game Pass is financially unhealthy and the entire platform is going to go poof tomorrow (there’s no sign of that and Xbox continues to be one of the most financially successful gaming companies out there) then that’s a concern for Xbox executives, Microsoft executives, and their investors. If they HAVE to go back to the traditional model of exclusives and no game pass day one then that’s something we consumers should hate, not remotely want, and struggle to accept as our platform of choice loses actual value. There’s so much fear among gamers. I don’t understand the need to look around, decide that everything is fragile, and cling to the past even if it just costs you more money. I don’t understand how the conversation is at this point or why Jez of all people is furthering it even for an opinion piece.
Honestly I don’t even think there’s more to be sad about exclusives either way. Jez has done his own articles about them and I don’t know how many different times and ways you can present the same two opinions. Like it’s not super nuanced. You either think exclusives are necessary for consoles to remain in existence, so you support limiting sales & making games less accessible or you think exclusives are unnecessary for consoles to remain in existence, so you support multiplatform releases to maximize sales and userbases. If Jez is proposing that exclusives and day one game pass (the main unique value differentiator of the model that revived Xbox and helped elevate it in the eyes of Microsoft) can’t coexist than that just makes the whole argument silly to me. I’m not so afraid that Xbox would disappear as a platform tomorrow that I’d be willing to sacrfie real value.

I can easily believe it. AI is what’s trending now so you gotta invest in it (if you’re a tech company that doesn’t have integrity that is (so like all of them)). Ubisoft has always been quick to jump into new tech. NFTs and cloud gaming were the same. Microsoft and Google and probably others are also investing in and researching generative games. Whether or not there’s a future there, the bubble sure is. I mean I definitely think these companies would be very glad if nothing else to cut down their QA workers if they could train AI models to do basic play testing.
QA testers do more than basic play testing though, they know how the game logic works and then break it. In scenarios that real life people would get into just because.
At best AI in QA should be used to log the errors quicker.
Edit: Actually one thing that AI would be great at in QA testing, is animation errors. It’s something that Gamer Nexus has started to look into whem they do their bench marks.
I didn’t say they’d be good replacements. I said the company’s would be glad to replace them. AI models similarly can’t replace customer support but they’re still using them to cut down on those jobs. It only has to get to a certain level of “good enough” for the companies for them to feel okay downsizing QA. Gamers will start to notice more bugs and games shipping in worst states, but we’ve already seen how gamers can grow to be more acceptable of those problems overtime. I could easily see a reality where a small QA human force and an AI model do very very basic QA on a game, then its shipped and gamers start breaking the game, and the devs have to work even harder to put the game into a basic playable state and address the issues gamers found. The game ships worse and probably costs more, gamers have a worse experience, the QA workers left have to work harder to find problems, and the devs have to work harder to fix all the problems the AI model + less human workers couldn’t find. No one would be happy, but the AI overlords would be pleased and so would all the financial tech bros.
Yeah, this poll is sheer idiocy. Like why would these so called fans vote against their own interests?
