Ah damn, so it’s not GPU native? Er and Village would be amazing but streaming…meh. I can’t even stream since I’m secondary GPU user.

Game Pass family plan would fix that :wink:

That’s true. But still 1080p, right? Hope they can up that sooner than later.

Had it been truly for Game Pass native these two games it would have been amazing.

But Er isn’t even that old and sold insanely well, too good to be true. Village though…

I think they’re gonna be able to push 1440p with direct capture soon if I remember correctly on one of those recent xCloud dev slides. I wouldn’t expect 4K any time soon honestly.

I don’t know that doing a streaming-only option for the product being in beta would go over well. That is to say, the current state of xCloud gets slack because it’s a free addition to what GPU was already bringing to the table. You’re probably right that the puck would be next year, and that would be a great companion to the cloud only tier. More TV partners makes a lot of sense too, I can definitely see that happening!

Ahh, I didn’t know that this white V2 was a known thing. You’re right, it would really undercut its announcement. Unless they pair it with a price drop… “Introducing the V3 with extra bells and whistles and good build quality in black and white! At the same price point we had for the V2! Accordingly, we’re dropping the price on the V2 and producing white ones to celebrate that.” A man can dream :stuck_out_tongue:

For sure, that would be a great time to make that announcement, with the holiday season coming soon after.

Considering the amount of Dutch people here we can have a single GPU for everybody and pay via Tikkie :joy:

It only took buying the two biggest media franchises, and a media conglomerate, being more aggressive in pricing, and combining 3 services, to have 1 million more than Netflix.

Disney+ is at 200m?

Oh, it is all their services combined. And I presume they haven’t launched in all the regions where Netflix. But big IPs and cheaper prices work wonders.

Disney+ on its own 152m

Combined Disney services 221m

Netflix 220m

The power of big IPs. That’s why Microsoft is acquiring all these publishers and pushing their Game Pass. First to market + big IPs power.

Very curious after which publisher they will go next.

Man, talking about some generic character design. The previous games at least had some characters with unique design I guess? But this? Nah fam.

Yeah, the game looks very boring and with EGS exclusivity on PC it is DOA there at least.

If true, and it wouldn’t surprise me (wonder what proof they have on it) it would explain a lot about how some games by certain pubs have stopped coming to Game Pass. This is yet another reason I wish MS had not been so friendly and just said “fuck your deals for Ghostwire and Deathloop. It’s ours now.” we’re in August and still have no idea if we’ll finally get Deathloop next month.

This is also why they should just say no more CoD for you Sony. Go hard. People want to play CoD every year, they WILL sub to your service.

This actually summarizes Sony’s pathetic position pretty well.

Pay to compete with your own service :x:

Pay to halt Game Pass growth :white_check_mark:

So I feel like Sports games haven’t made the leap I was hoping for with the new console generation. It’s just not tricking me into believing it’s real life yet. Also I wish they would get rid of that stupid touchdown celebration selection prompt. It was cool at first but now I just hate it so much. It annoys to the point that I might skip this year’s Madden.
