I keep hearing this and I fully don't remember it. I played the whole game and I love long continuous shots in film, it's one of my favorite things, but I did not notice it in God of War at all. Maybe the loading screens and menus took me out of it enough that I never noticed.
I also don't see how this works or looks good in a first person game.
Bold for me to be replying to this after saying I don't remember it at all, but I went ahead and watched a few cutscenes just now to verify it. Unfortunately I couldn't find any videos of the transition, so I'm just assuming the cutscenes camera was the same camera as the game play camera.
If there were changes in perspective or if there were parts where you focused on other characters, instead of immediately cutting to that perspective, the camera would move or pan, they actually did it pretty gracefully and I'm surprised I didn't notice now, after watching a few clips, maybe it just didn't occur to me that it could happen in a video game so I wasn't looking for it.
Can't be anyone else really. At this point though everyone's rumor crazy and wild stuff is going everywhere.
I mean, when I hear "AAA" I'm thinking games like Halo, Forza, Gears and what I expect from Fable, Coalition's new project (Perfect Dark..?), etc.
It seems unrealistic to expect it *every* month, maybe every quarter once studios get going and Microsoft plans to expand even more - WB Games acquisition could get them to the every quarter point.
Also note that it's not that I see this as a goal Microsoft wouldn't want - a AAA game every month - it makes sense if we were to look at it in terms of keeping people on Game Pass, but is it realistic? Does Microsoft see that as realistic? I don't think they do. Maybe a game every month of varying degrees of budget - A, AA, and AAA.
Lol there was that "insider" on gaf who got everything about the PS5 wrong but got the Series X specs exactly right. He also claimed that MS bought Techland.
One of the things that concerns me is the focus on headphone audio (e.g., PS5's audio highlights) over a home theater setup. It makes sense, of course.
I would be shocked if Series X doesn't have bitstream Atmos.
If you wanted to know just how insane brand loyalty can get, there's a Twitter user called StadiaFounder already trying to debunk this claim
Absolutely mental
For how much power the Series X is packing, at $500 it's almost a steal. And if not, I can justify they cost by how much money I'll be saving with GPU. It's a little big, but I can make it work, and I kinda doubt the S will be much smaller. Also I wanna see the best next-gen can provide.
Because so far I haven't been all that impressed.
I'll definitely be getting Series X, but I know people who will be getting Series S.
staying close to MC and his 7 Cortana clones will help recapture the sense of mystery of Halo 1 and the intimacy of Halo 4.
I have no idea how you would transition from first person to a flying third person camera in cutscenes without it looking goofy but I think it's a good move on paper
Don't worry, we will beat spurs Friday. London is red, like Manchester is red :)
There are more people on this forum who responded saying they were planning to purchase Series S over X than I expected. The different reasonings behind the expected decisions are solid and now I better understand all the Series S speculation.
Anyone think Turtle Rock or IO may join XGS/become Second Party? We know MS approached them before but WB won out. Now that IO has left WB to self publish despite having a contract, Turtle Rock may too. I suspect this is due to WB being sold off. Could see MS publish Back 4 Blood and buy one or both of them in the future. Idk.
I see the lazy old "mom and dad" will get confused by diff SKUs argument is out in full force in that lockheart rumour thread. And perpetuated by a mod no less.
There seems to be a notion that today's parents are from the 1900s or something and can't even work a TV.

If they did grab a polish studio I think it would not be Techland as they have already denied those rumors last month I think, could people can fly or The Astronauts if I remember correctly, think phil talked about loving the vanishing of Ethan Carter on twitter a few years ago (though it might have been a similar game idk), and people can fly have had a history with MS with Gears: Judgement.
The article seems like a fever dream. I think MS could have a good show, maybe even better than sony. I mean for me if we see Halo, Obsidian RPG, Fable, Motorsport 8, Perfect Dark, and, Fable that would mic drop moment for MS. I just don't see them unloading all of that at once, especially when they have talked about wanting to spread out game announcements.

No you are correct, which is another reason to upgrade asap since it will reduce the number of blades Microsoft will need.
Save some for the rest of us ok lol.
Some people honestly lol. Tom Warren is like the most legit source for all things Microsoft that you can get.
Can't wait to preorder my XSX. I think I'm gonna preorder it from the Microsoft store this time since I have some credit left there. Hope they can deliver the console on the launch day.
Ok, thought I missed it. Thanks.
LOL!
As a long time fan I'm" loving all of the coverage Inxile and Wasteland 3 is getting; feels like the game's going to be their coming out party to a bigger audience.
Lmao thank you for this.
Lmao thank you for this.
I just hope the pre orders go up soon. I will say that $500 is my upper limit price, though I'm an all digital gamer so I will take a discless console with the same specs to get to that price.
Look MS and Sony, we know the things are $500, cut the foreplay and just tell us already.

In another post he says that MS is planning to make xCloud part of Game Pass later this year. Absolutely insane value, especially if its compatible with PC. Imagine being able to play those Xbox Game Pass console games on PC too!!
It's the obvious thing to do if you think about it. Not only is a great plus to be able to play your games everywhere, but this should mean you don't even need a Xbox or PC to subscribe to Gamepass.
He knows for sure, right? Because that's the ticket, right there.
Yeah. I mean, usually with timed demos I hit the end and am like, "Well, that's enough of that." But with Grounded I dove right into another playthrough. The world is super interesting and dangerous and gives me a sense of exploration I haven't experienced since like Fallout 3.
MS already announced that. Yeah Xcloud will be part of gamepass.
Is there a chance or that wccftech rumor being true? In this case I mean the part about new studio?
The real question is whether you believe eastmen. On the forums, seems like they're treated as someone who could know something - but that may or may not mean anything. What they're saying could even be true and yet not be what we expect either.
Prepared for $400 doesn't mean $400. AAA games may mean something diff to MS. After all, Crackdown 3 was considered AAA but many people wouldn't agree (it's a fuzzy thing). Talking to 5 studios could mean just that - and yet end in nothing. There's a world where the dude is 100% right and yet nothing comes of any of it. Hopefully, it's something more measured, in the middle hahaha.
I honestly wouldn't be surprised if the Series S model isn't shown until after the X launches and then it launches 6 months after the X.
Are you talking about the 5 studios referenced from Eastmen, who wccftech referenced, or the post about the Polish studio from a poster in the thread?
Oh they were the same source that said a AAA game every month? 399 would be insane for the XSX and I just don't see that happening, but hey, i sure as hell would like that to happen.
The Polish one, the one that seems to be happening, if we believe that source, that is. I should read it again, I had no idea about the 5 studios thing.
