argv_minus_one, rok temu do gaming w Microsoft signs 15-year cloud streaming deal with Ubisoft in latest bid to win Activision Blizzard approval

Cloud streaming is anti-consumer, so this won’t help Microsoft’s case unless the regulators are idiots.

ram, rok temu

Cloud streaming is their sole complaint, but yes the regulators are idiot.s

Yes!!! I hops Ring Fit is backwards compatible!

I wonder if that and/or Labo might be what they meant by the disclaimer that backwards compatibility might not support all titles. Since it's built around old Joy-Cons, might not work with new ones, unless the Switch 2 can just use original Joy-Cons.

Could also be an excuse for Ring Fit 2 built around new Joy-Cons.

In theory the old joy cons could still connect to the system via bluetooth, just not attach to the console itself. So maybe that keeps Ring Fit in play for the system.

If that’s the case you wouldn’t be able to charge them, though? I don’t think you can charge them without connecting to a console (or a third party charging dock I guess)

garretble, 5 miesięcy temu

Correct.

I would like to think you could pair old joycons to it in a pinch since outside of that new button on the right joycon they look exactly the same.

But, yeah, when it runs out of juice you’d have to stick them back on the old switch or use a third party charger.

But we’ll see, for sure.

Computerchairgeneral, rok temu do gaming w EA's BioWare will lay off 50 and cut ties with unionized Keywords playtesting group

Yeah. I'm sure laying off staff who have been crunching on Dreadwolf for who knows how long is really going to "unlock the creativity" of everyone left. At least some of the people laid off will be able to find work in other parts of the company. Honestly, if Dreadwolf and the new Mass Effect aren't successes then I feel like it will only be a matter of time until we hear about EA shutting the studio down. Hopefully, Dreadwolf is good and sells well, but the people working on it have to be under a lot of pressure between the layoffs, Biowares last two games failing, and BG3 setting a new standard for RPGs.
