MS just launched improvements to gamertags. Up to 200 languages now and they support duplicates. If you want to change your name and it's already taken you get a discord/battlenet-style #number after your name. The original gamertag will have no # after it and this is all optional, nobody has...

I'll be subbing to uPlay+. Subscribe to all the things. Anno, Division and a handful of other things this year, I've paid them more than the annual cost of uPlay+. If the aub entitles me to access the library over Stadia, even better, and I hope that becomes the standard used by others. Only...

Trailers, Announcements, and Live Streams

The market for that controller existed long before Microsoft created the first one.

Current Xbox already has that support in the games that have opted to enable it.

Yeah, that was Project M.

Carrion looks awesome.

It's weird to see a game like that won't be ready for another 8+ months.

Devolver time. Literally picking up where they left off last year.

I like the idea of asynchronous Doom (actually almost mentioned this during the demo a short time ago) but wish it was more than the 1v2 they just revealed.

Looks like a Doom-themed Unreal Tournament arena.

Yeah, this really seemed like a segment for GDC or something.

'We made some middleware, please buy it'

Ok, I like the TV intro Rage 2 thing.

Dude stole her gun. 3-player PvE mode, fun times.

...that will print money, lol.

Actually as the store pages are slowly being updated, it's starting to look like the overall Xbox Ultimate subscription is for Game Pass (BOTH Xbox and PC versions) and Live Gold, but if you only want the PC one it looks like it's $4.99/mo.

PC-specific version of Xbox Game Pass, instead of just subbing to Game Pass and getting some of the games, they're launching a service explicitly for PC games.

Brutal, even lower than some initial estimates. Dark Phoenix - $33 million The rest of the franchise's opening weekends: Deadpool - $132.4m Deadpool 2 - $125.5m The Last Stand - $102.7m Days of Future Past - $90.8m Logan - $88.4m X2 - $85.5m Origins: Wolverine - $85m Apocalypse - $65.7m First...

Verge says this is the starting library for PC Game Pass. Maybe we need a thread for these subscription service library changes. ABZU ACA NEOGEO METAL SLUG X Antiquia Lost ARK: Survival Evolved Astroneer Battle Chasers: Night War Battle Chef Brigade Deluxe Battlefleet Gothic: Armada Bomber...

Jupiter's great red spot has reduced in size nearly 20% as it appears to continue to 'leak'. Changes like this have never been observed w/ the storm before.

Texans have fired their GM.

I'm interested in how their software entitlements will work going forward. If I buy an expansion will it be available on every platform I login to? I'd think no, but that's not how it works right now, right?

Or you just pay $10 and use your own stuff if you already have compatible hardware. You do not have to buy the founder's bundle to access the paid service.

Gamestop was actually 'excited' about the original vision of the Xbox One, because they were going to be able to manage licenses w/ their POS systems, enabling used games even w/ the DRM.

I feel like every other new game page I go to has a fake live stream on it now. It's stupid.

I think we'll get closer to that w/ xCloud (since it's all Xbox) but no mention of any cross-buy stuff w/ Stadia. Though if you buy a game you still have access to stream it even without a sub.

Yeah just need a bluetooth controller. Iirc that's why it requires the Ultra.

I think that depends on if a Pro purchase is also an entitlement unlock to Destiny's new content, since it's for more than just the free version. Most people playing that will have already purchased that anyways since it's out before Stadia. Otherwise the full game and next batch of content is...

So looks like Bungie only just got Sony on board w/ cross saves yesterday.

The entire streaming service is also now 'being reevaluated'.

Yeah, the Pro subscription (quality unlocks aside) is another Game Pass / EA Vault setup, they will continue to add games to the library. Then there's the option to buy games, which then gives you access to them through many devices (no subscription required). You don't have to pay for the pro...

Yeah, play on whatever platform, stop, continue playing on another. Don't even need to sync saves, since it's all server side for Destiny iirc, it's really just account sync. Stadia is essentially like pulling up YouTube but being able to control it.

Cross save now confirmed for all platforms. Kinda wonder if there was some last minute scrambling there since the embargoed press like the Engadget article above said no PS4.

Funny how the article says the plan sounds convoluted when it basically is identical to video services like Prime Video or Game Pass... subscription gets you a library w/ other titles available when purchased individually. As more things like this pop up, more and more we really need a 'movies...

It'd probably make more sense for MS and Epic to partner up, turn Epic into a partner for Play Anywhere / Game Pass title distribution or something. That post wasn't meant to make sense though :)

Spencer said they've got 14 titles from Xbox Game Studios for this E3. That's going to include Halo, Forza, Gears and a few other known items though, so we'll see. Someone's guesses I saw posted elsewhere: -Halo Infinite - Gears 5 - Gears POP - Gears Tactics - Forza Horizon 4 DLC - Forza...

If it plays like Strange Brigade that could be pretty fun actually, lol.
