Defaced, do games w Xbox is still committed to making consoles, says boss Phil Spencer

The only reason they want their games on multiple platforms is so they can prove they’re not trying to buy up studios for exclusivity. This is the main objective here folks. They don’t care about being on more than one platform, they just don’t want to fight the FTC again when they try to buy up sega, square enix, take2, embracer or whoever the fuck they want to buy next. Remember, this is the same arrogant bullshit company that wanted to buy Nintendo and got laughed out of the conference room.

My Switch 2 (bottom) next to my Switch Lite, running Pokemon Dreams. It’s available now!

They probably need some more time to make the new swamp extra swamp-y.

But in all seriousness, Miyazaki hasn’t disappointed me yet. He can take all the time he wants to, I’ll be there to get it once it drops. Be that tomorrow or in several years.

They should make Linux boxes.

simple,

Xbox is Microsoft so that’ll literally never happen. They could make Windows 11 boxes though.

Microsoft already uses Linux and in fact even develops its own Linux distribution since quite some time because Windows just isn’t good enough for certain tasks: github.com/microsoft/CBL-Mariner

Surface Duo is another Linux-based product by Microsoft.

simple,

Surface Duo uses Android though so I wouldn’t put it in the same vein as Linux distros. Microsoft uses Linux for their web services like everyone else, but there is no way they’re going to push people to using their competitor on consumer products. They want people to stay on Windows.

Android is Linux.

here is no way they’re going to push people to using their competitor on consumer products. They want people to stay on Windows.

Windows Phone is dead, Android is not.

One of the reasons that Steam Deck is better than Windows handheld PCs is because Valve can freely modify the graphics drivers. That’s not possible with the proprietary Windows Radeon drivers.

smeg,

Android is Linux

Yes and no

woelkchen,
@woelkchen@lemmy.world avatar

Yes and no

Only yes. GNU software is irrelevant for anything being Linux (lots of other Linux distributions use no GNU software at all, most notably embedded variants using musl and Busybox). The kernel being a modified one is also irrelevant because almost every distribution ships patches to the kernel. The only person who can revoke Android being Linux is Linus Torvalds, not some random YouTuber named Gary.

Fact is, Microsoft ships Linux-based products and even if it’s highly unlikely what they will switch the Xbox business to release Linux hardware, the outright statement “that’ll literally never happen” is ignorant.

smeg,

True, I was just nit-picking rather than disagreeing with your original statement

smeg,

I know, I meant I wasn’t disagreeing with your first comment about Microsoft using Linux!

I kinda figured those rumors were bullshit. They may be secretive, but Fromsoft still wouldn’t just quietly release a major dlc for one of the biggest titles they’ve ever made.

Shit must be massive for it to take this long, though, without much news other than a title, and two updates that they are still working on it.

I played ER 3x no-wiki… I am fine with a decent break, it will hopefully make the new content that much more savoury

Take your time. There is no rush.

TheFerrango, do games w Xbox is still committed to making consoles, says boss Phil Spencer

They also said they were still committed to Zune and Windows Phone.

smeg,

They probably weren’t lying then or now, they are committed… for this quarter. When they read the numbers next quarter, well that’s completely unrelated to today’s commitments!

Thats okay FromSoft, you go when you feel like it. I will instantly pick ER back up.

altima_neo, do gaming w Reuters claims Nintendo Switch 2 is expected later this year
@altima_neo@lemmy.zip avatar

Pretty much everyone is claiming that, at this point. No one has a solid source on their claim though. Its all on Nintendo now to prove it, or a leaker to release images or something.

senseamidmadness,

No public sources yet, but there are positive whispers from anonymous people in the electronics supply industry. Companies that make boards, chips, screens, that kinda stuff. That plus the fact that the original Switch launched in 2017 is enough for me to believe the new one is on the way.

@altima_neo@lemmy.zip avatar

It’s not that I don’t believe it, it just seems silly for all these sites to keep saying so, without anything to add. Just jumping on the bandwagon for clicks.

I agree. There seems to be a job in the industry called “Professional Guesser”. It’s like those companies/people who say, “Barbie Vs Kong” is expected to make $76m at the box office this weekend. How can you possibly know?

senseamidmadness,

As long as people keep getting paid to make predictions, they will keep making paid predictions

Potatos_are_not_friends, do games w From Software is "working hard on Elden Ring DLC" but still doesn't have a release date "at this time"

I’m currently playing Elden Ring and it’s so freaking massive. It’s incredible what From soft choice to include. There’s whole areas that are completely gated for a hard-to-find side quest, that you’ll only discover if you happen to follow a guide.

Any other company would have chopped the content and put it in a DLC.

And here they’re like, “We got more just wait.”

_sideffect, do games w From Software is "working hard on Elden Ring DLC" but still doesn't have a release date "at this time"

Sounds like it’ll be pretty big and worthwhile

I wish they would let you install windows on them, but then i guess id be buying games on steam not Microsoft store / gamepass

Computerchairgeneral, do gaming w Reuters claims Nintendo Switch 2 is expected later this year

Seven years feels about right for a length between consoles. I am curious to see what they do with it. It's hard to see Nintendo not sticking with the handheld console approach with the Switch 2, but just building a more powerful Switch doesn't feel very Nintendo, if that makes sense. Like there has to be some feature or gimmick to set it apart from the Switch.

JohnEdwa,

Especially when the chipset, Tegra X1, is going to turn 10 years old next year and has roughly the same performance as the iPhone 6. Kinda impressive longevity when you think about it.

KingThrillgore, do games w There are "five Resident Evil games in development right now, including Resident Evil 9", leaker claims
@KingThrillgore@lemmy.ml avatar

After Capcom’s DRM fiasco, they’ve poisoned the well something fierce. Giving us more of the genre they established smacks of Resident Evil many years ago when 6 was out and was followed with forgettable spinoffs. That will poison the rest of the reservoir. They never learn.

Even if one of them was a Code Veronica remake like we want, I am holding my breath. I bet one of them is a Live Service game, because they haven’t learned with their OTHER attempts at that.
