Yeah the economics of AAA gaming appear to be a trainwreck in the current era.
Either you appeal to 50 million people or you're a flaming dumpster fire of a failure, cause the game cost a billion dollars to make for some reason despite good indie or AA devs getting 80-90% of the way there (in...
AI person stepping up to head Xbox? Some rando passing over Sarah Bond (who decided to quit I guess) for the position?
Oh boy Microsoft's Gaming Division is cooked.
All the same, its not been doing great over the last several years anyhow, so maybe a shake-up is in order. However not sure if...
-I know, but the narrative is structured like there is a rush, even if there really isn't.
So if you take your time to explore things after the game makes a lot of noise about V dying, there is some dissonance there.
Playing the game now and it's been an interesting read through this thread.
The game is stable as a rock for me on my main system, FSR4.0 and FSR3.1 framegen are fantastic and deliver ~150fps with everything but PT maxed with very clean image quality.

This is the kind of rumor that can only be dreamt up by people who make their living pedaling rumors.
The once thriving consumer GPU scene is a wasteland, we're not likely to see anything until 2027 *if not even later* depending on when all the AI nonsense dies down or manufacturing catches...
-Yeah, possible the cost of backing out of the agreement was less than the RAM companies stood to make on selling an equivalent amount of RAM at market value, so the maths mathed and they would rather pay a penalty to valve than lose out on that sweet AI revenue.
Alright, Psychonauts 2 is a wrap.
Fun, goofy game overflowing with personality. Was refreshing to play a pretty straightforward platformer again.
While the visuals and production value was fantastic (that M$ money hard at work) and each of the characters minds had a very unique visual style...
Ok, finally started Cyberpunk 2077 (base edition, no PL).
It's. Ok. I guess. It gives me the option to play as a corpo fem boy which is... I mean hey I can so will.
Takes a while to get going, after 4 hours it feels like the plot is actually starting to pick up with the "heist gone wrong"...
