Xbox Game Studios |OT6| I'M BACK (TO RISE)

I don't know if anyone else has posted this, but game informer did a little fact sheet on Grounded that showed me a few things I didn't know. Apparently the world is simulated to the point that your actions may cause food shortages that could effect the bugs and stuff, and you can play in either first or third person, which some people seem to have really strong feelings about.
Other than the two points above it's mostly just stuff we already knew, worth the click if you're really curious I guess. But do yourself a favor and don't read the comments yeah.

Awesome!
I feel the exact same way. I was so looking forward to it, and it was disheartening to get in there and find out I was simply not skilled enough to complete it. I love the graphics and art style, sparse, eerie music, the controls felt nice, etc. It is just literally too hard for me, and so I put it down. Ah well.
Okay. At this point, I think I'll wait the extra year and just buy it at launch
So idk if it's been mentioned anywhere. I didn't hear it during X0 and can't find anything online but is X Cloud ever coming to iOS? I feel like that is the market you want to be on before Windows 10? Just guessing on that.
I remember them saying something along the lines of IOS later but android now.
They are planning on it, but in terms of mobile they're starting with Android. Android is more open and has a larger install base, so it makes for a better test bed.
Win10 is also their OS and an open platform, so again, easy to add support for it.
They were showing the iOS app behind the scenes at the X0 event. It seems like Apple is the reason its held up at the moment.
With an xCloud launch in 2020 and an expansion beyond Android, absent from the list is still iPad and iPhone support. That looks like it's about to change, though. "We have a prototype app up and running, it's playing well," explains Catherine Gluckstein, general manager of xCloud, in an interview with The Verge. "We would love for it to launch on iOS, and in due course it will. We're working with Apple."
While Microsoft is hesitant to provide firm details on the state of Project xCloud for iPhone and iPad, Gluckstein touched on plans to Windows Central. "We actually have a test app, a prototype app, up and running on iOS. So it is something we're obviously thinking about a lot. We know from our customers it's a platform they would like to see. And as we said before, we're working with a lot of partners to bring Project xCloud to multiple devices."
The team remains coy on Project xCloud for iOS, yet to provide firm context around its Android-exclusive rollout. It's easy to speculate; Google's mobile platform lends itself more suitable, boasting device variety, and higher-capacity testing programs. In contrast, Apple retains a firm grip on iOS, locking down the TestFlight developer platform to just 10,000 applicants per app.
They showed off some gameplay on mixer the other day. I think the friday stream on the xbox channel. Looks quite nice. Check it out if you haven't seen it. Also, I believe it was playable at the event too.
Edit: about an hour and 30 mins into it.
So with Phil saying Scarlett will not be out of position on power or price....
You guys think he could be in the know about what Sony is doing, specs wise, and that he's "comfortable" stating this? I guess that even if PS5 were to be ever so slightly more powerful (if we go by what Reiner and a few others said) you could still say Scarlett isn't out of position. Especially if the difference is say...One VS One S. Practically impossible to see a difference.

Thanks for the info. Would like to be able to play some stuff with my wife at home. Hoping it comes to smart TVs soon too so I can get my brother on board.

Not available in Canada
Bah
Thanks for mentioning this! The gameplay actually looks really good! Especially for this to launch into game preview. I assumed it would be super bare bones at this point, but that looks much further along. (link to the VOD on Mixer below)

The beginning of the next step toward console gaming.
If successful. Next gen they will have An even more powerful leap and price but purchased via lease. I can see a 800 dollar console next gen with Xbox access.
this is a test to see how many people adopt this at a launch with a new device.
I would pay $2000 for a monster Xbox, but not everyone has that kind of money and I don't want the less fortunate to feel left out
On a 24 month lease with GPU? Nah that can't be right. The console itself is probably $499
That sounds about right. The only question is, how big of a loss does MS take
You're paying MSRP for the system and GPU, the game is the freebie so no real loss incurred.
I'm saying what loss (if any) does MS take on the hardware
At this point I doubt even MS knows. They might still be deciding the final ram and SSD amount.
to start with? not much generally but a big hardware profit certainly isn't the goal yeah. I have no inside knowledge but I remember Phil saying they're not selling hardware at a loss before.
Whatever the nitty gritty ends up being, it'll be a beast and I can't wait to play Forza Horizon 5 on it
Perfect. I really hope they flesh out the community building as well.
Honestly, I wish they would make a super premium version that is way beefed up for like $699. I would buy it.
I respect your opinions I guess but how could anyone really know this? Probably it has to be better or at least break even eventually with selling the exclusives to their console install base right? Someone at Microsoft has done that math such that it is sustainable...
Sad to admit but it's true for me as well. I was all in... but the difficulty ramp is too high for me. I do love the art and music though. Much shame.
I think so. There's a different one running on TV in the UK. Just shows some game footage from a few games, quite low end stuff really compared to this one.
Yes, it's in closed beta right now and limited to Android devices, but coming to Windows 10 early next year. If you have an Android device you can download the beta app and register.
But if you want to play Xbox 360 titles "natively" emulated on your PC, unfortunately that isn't a thing. Although this is in development.
Just started remnant from the ashes. Did the first mission and chose a class. It's pretty cool so far. Runs and looks good too. Was this supposed to run bad or something?
It's an online game right? So I can team up with friends?
Man, GP have really spoiled me. I just don't know what to play anymore :D

It's a very good game. Try playing it with friends because I think that it is the perfect co-op game.
GREAT!
My friends have been looking for a game we could play together. I just started playing RDRO recently, it's the best game ever created imo but it keeps crashing on him so we have been looking for something to play together. This might be it to hold us busy forward :p
Thanks man :)
I don't know why I called it remnant of the past. LMAO
