Battletoads is a lot of fun. Love the look and the gameplay feels excellent. Such a great addition to Game Pass. Hope they work with the developer more.
nope. if it was, there would be a PR and it would show up in the trailer
Dusk did say some developers were having trouble with aspects of the PS5, I think I heard someone say afterwards that the variable clock GPU was harder to deal with and hit targets but I can't remember who said that or if it was reliable.
Maybe they found it super easy to port the PC version to Xbox and decided the extra work for the PS5 version wasn't worth it?
Probably another timed or console exclusive. MS seems to be going after a lot of these horror games. I like it, although this game may look like it's a bit much 🤢
Yes (on Preview/Early Access). It's getting its first content update soon.
Or more likely MS is made a deal for timed exclusivity like they have done with multiple other indie games.
Downloaded the New Super Lucky's Tale on Game Pass...really enjoyed the first game.
Just have to finish The Touryst first!

Has it been confirmed that Microsoft has made exclusivity deals with a lot of these AA studios? Microsoft has absolutely been giving them a ton of attention and publicity for sure, but I think a lot of these "console exclusives" are the result of A) Xbox + PC making a lot of sense from a development standpoint and B) Microsoft showing AA PC centric developers a lot of love in the same ways that Sony did with Indie developers at the beginning of the PS4 lifecycle. I think a lot of these games are just the result of those two things alongside the developers HAVING to make a choice of what platforms to launch with given that they're not big enough to develop for every platform under the sun.
I mean the studios last game, The Town of Light, released on PC first and then PS4/Xbox 15 months later. And then Switch 3 years after that Lol.
There's a chance. I really, really want to see this one in action soon. I hope it goes back to the semi-historical campaigns of AOE2 instead of the fantasy story of AOE3.
The other lingering question is whether or not the community will buy into AOE4's multiplayer or just continue with AOE2DE.
Generally with indie games those deals are made pretty early in development, since they often can't afford to develop for two consoles at once. Either they announced their PS5 release prematurely before they started talking to anyone or they had some reason to switch platforms mid development. Maybe it wasn't technical limitations, maybe they found out the certification process at Xbox was easier, or they found ID@Xbox was better for their discoverability. I don't think Microsoft saw an indie horror game announced for PS5 and started throwing money at them to get them to make it an Xbox exclusive instead.
Really the most likely thing is they just announced the PS5 version way too soon, and then whatever circumstance transpired and they're making an Xbox version now.
Amazon Xbox Series X store page says "Halo Infinite: Coming Holiday 2021".
I assumed it would be a holiday game, too many marketing deals (toys etc..) attached to it to launch it in like April.
Edit: nvm Tom says it's a mistake.

I thought it was a horrible console reveal lol. It took so long and then the console looked horrible. Beat was good though.
yes yes I'm probably biased but nothing tops the VGA series X announcements Suprise reveal, Alan Watts commentary, sick visuals and unexpected but sleek design.

Agree, console look is meh, but I love the way they reveal it.
Don't like the design either but I thought the reveal was great.
Maxi - Marketing Communications Manager Xbox (Germany) is visiting Gronkh (German YouTuber/Streamer) currently, with the Xbox Series X Prototype (empty), like the one shown in the Saturn Store in Cologne (Germany).
Not much to see right now (if you aren't German ^^), they showed the Prototype from all sides in detail two times, I'm sure there will be some screen grabs or recordings on YouTube later.
I didn't catch any real news, aside for small details (for me, but I guess those were known already to others), like that the new controller will be a bit smaller than the current one. Parts of the controller are supposed to be more levelled (around the Xbox symbol and the buttons, those parts) and the digital pad is the one from the Elite controller. They don't have the new controller at the stream, but they talked about those parts. Those were new to me, aside from that no real news so far I think.

Sounds like Xbox is the home for horror games if that's your thing. The Medium, Scorn, and now Martha is Dead.
Good to hear. Enjoying the show.

Good point regarding MS being a great platform now for horror games.
I would go further and hope MS can acquire a studio which specialises in creating horror games. Bloober Team could really impress with The Medium, leading to MS acquiring them and providing funding for a big budget horror game - or it could be Monolith Studios (FEAR, Condemned) if the Warner Bros acquisition is somehow pulled off.
Basically a team that can produce a AAA horror game experience that can rival the likes of Resident Evil.

Hopefully, Jeff Grubb has maybe some Gamepass news for the week of August 24 on his Summer Games Mess schedule.
Yayy. That's great.
Oo... I'd like that lol.
