Obligatory first page Banjo-Kazooie new game request. It's what the people want!
Maybe 2024 will be the year!

Blade. The first movie.
OG line: "some mother fuckers are always trying to ice skate up hill."
The OT where Kotick gets the boot
Why you posting this cursed image on the first page lol
What in seven hells is that image 🤣
The OT where Kotick gets the boot
please just understand, we're a small family publisher. we just need a few more acquisitions and then we'll be set.

The OT where Kotick gets the boot
It's never been stated, but this image is now permanently required every OT.
Some of those scores may need adjusting. Starfield is 85 and MW3 is 59 (lol)
first page Pants controller
I wonder how much this is going to cost. Will they three tier the controllers.
OP
OP
They showed off three tiers of controller: base, premium, elite (kind of like Core, Elite Core, and Elite right now). I suspect Sebile will cost $80.
no shot they put out a controller that at most matches the DualSense (except likely less - no adaptive triggers or touchpad or built in mic) and charge more.
I think the WiFi Direct connection, actually has battery life longer than one play session, and Lift to Wake will set it apart from DualSense.
That would suck. The normal controller is already too expensive at normal price and just plain clicky, creaky average.
There's gonna be an AMA on the Xbox Insider subreddit tomorrow.
I mean, standard Xbox controllers cost 60. Unless they're planning to just replace those in the lineup (which imo they should, let gyro be standardized god dammit), they're probably gonna be pricier than a Dualsense's $75 to justify having them be separate tiers.
i honestly dont think those features really matter as cloud gaming is still giga niche, battery life depends on the batteries inside which likely won't be internal anyway (xbox controllers already have good battery life so that isn't "more" differentiating), and life to wake is kinda whatever beyond the first 2 seconds you pick it up. It just sounds like using an accelerometer.
solution: discount the base controllers to $50 and phase them out
I mean you're talking about the features not mattering to consumers, not the cost of the features. A feature not mattering because cloud gaming is niche doesn't change the cost of adding a WiFi chip onboard and engineering a seamless way to switch between BT, WiFi, PC, Xbox, and cloud. The Lift to Wake with the accelerometer would require a very low power state that can read the accelerometer and turn on the console would likely increase cost more than just included a basic accelerometer onto the controller. The battery might not be internal but the slides did mention it'll come with batteries. Right now the Xbox Core controller is $60, with some different styles coming in at $70+ and that doesn't have a battery, haptics, accelerometer, WiFi chip, and very likely lower quality materials.
Nice new thread, thanks as always OP! Vix waiting on the post to go up with that image in hand no doubt 😂
Heartwarming and well-deserved recognition. And as a certifiedweirdo enthusiast I also enjoy learning about the latest updates to all these games like SoD, Grounded, etc, even if I don't play them much. So thanks Klob!
