Don't know where to put this, so decided to put it here: Division 2 is $2.99 on XBONE. I mean, pretty sure most people aren't like me and if they were interested they already got it when it dropped or just still won't bother, but three dollars made me a lot more susceptible to giving it a whirl.

Only the standard version, though. The deluxe and fuckoff massive collections are still listed under $100 and $120. I don't need additional backpack skins and "iconic" jackets that badly.

I think what ClockShot was getting at is the idea that they're divvying up the remake of FF7 across multiple releases. The idea of paying full price for each chunk of the remake like some bastardized Telltale title release or the original idea behind the last Hitman game queered me away from salivating over this game back when that first came to light. It would be like Nintendo remastering Super Mario Bros 3, but saying you will have to buy each of the 8 worlds separately at $20 apiece for a remake of a game that you can find in a pawn shop for about ten bucks at most because it's going to look so sexy on current gen hardware.

But it's not like it's the same game anymore. There is way more content here. I could understand if it was a shot for shot remake with no additional content but that ain't this.

Ended up preordering because I traded in Jedi: Fallen Order at Gamestop and they were running some sort of promotion with preorders. Anyway, girl working there said there was a lot more stuff to this time around than in the first game even though you're only getting a certain amount of the game.

We'll see how it goes.

Until the whole thing is finished, released, and in a bundle, I'm not interested in the remake. We'll see about the combat system in that far flung future.

I don't care how sexy it looks or how much content they added to try to justify squeezing more money out of their grandest cash cow. I don't care how sexy they crossdress Cloud or how elaborate they make him getting gangbanged for underwear. I don't even care if they somehow cram the entirety of that one side game where you're The Turks and the other PSP game I'm blanking on with Zack and the combat system that's like Tifa's limit break. I'll let everyone else subsidize the eventual price drop for me. Not paying $60 just to be cockteased by Midgar and nothing else.

Xbox boss Phil Spencer recently confirmed and revealed some new details for Microsoft's Xbox Series X console.

Quote:
Next Generation Custom Processor: Xbox Series X is our most powerful console ever powered by our custom designed processor leveraging AMD’s latest Zen 2 and RDNA 2 architectures. Delivering four times the processing power of an Xbox One and enabling developers to leverage 12 TFLOPS of GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) performance – twice that of an Xbox One X and more than eight times the original Xbox One. Xbox Series X delivers a true generational leap in processing and graphics power with cutting edge techniques resulting in higher framerates, larger, more sophisticated game worlds, and an immersive experience unlike anything seen in console gaming.

Variable Rate Shading (VRS): Our patented form of VRS empowers developers to more efficiently utilize the full power of the Xbox Series X. Rather than spending GPU cycles uniformly to every single pixel on the screen, they can prioritize individual effects on specific game characters or important environmental objects. This technique results in more stable frame rates and higher resolution, with no impact on the final image quality.

Hardware-accelerated DirectX Raytracing: You can expect more dynamic and realistic environments powered by hardware-accelerated DirectX Raytracing – a first for console gaming. This means true-to-life lighting, accurate reflections and realistic acoustics in real time as you explore the game world.

SSD Storage: With our next-generation SSD, nearly every aspect of playing games is improved. Game worlds are larger, more dynamic and load in a flash and fast travel is just that – fast.

Quick Resume: The new Quick Resume feature lets you continue multiple games from a suspended state almost instantly, returning you to where you were and what you were doing, without waiting through long loading screens.

Dynamic Latency Input (DLI): We’re optimizing latency in the player-to-console pipeline starting with our Xbox Wireless Controller, which leverages our high bandwidth, proprietary wireless communication protocol when connected to the console. With Dynamic Latency Input (DLI), a new feature which synchronizes input immediately with what is displayed, controls are even more precise and responsive.

HDMI 2.1 Innovation: We’ve partnered with the HDMI forum and TV manufacturers to enable the best gaming experience through features such as Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM) and Variable Refresh Rate (VRR). ALLM allows Xbox One and Xbox Series X to automatically set the connected display to its lowest latency mode. VRR synchronizes the display’s refresh rate to the game’s frame rate, maintaining smooth visuals without tearing. Ensuring minimal lag and the most responsive gaming experience.

120 fps Support: With support for up to 120 fps, Xbox Series X allows developers to exceed standard 60 fps output in favor of heightened realism or fast-paced action.

Four generations of gaming: Our commitment to compatibility means existing Xbox One games, including backward-compatible Xbox 360 and original Xbox games, look and play better than ever before. Your favorite games, including titles in Xbox Game Pass, benefit from steadier framerates, faster load times and improved resolution and visual fidelity – all with no developer work required. Your Xbox One gaming accessories also come forward with you.

Smart Delivery: This technology empowers you to buy a game once and know that – whether you are playing it on Xbox One or Xbox Series X – you are getting the right version of that game on whatever Xbox you’re playing on. We’re making the commitment to use Smart Delivery on all our exclusive Xbox Game Studios titles, including Halo Infinite, ensuring you only have to purchase a title once in order to play the best available version for whichever Xbox console they choose to play on. This technology is available for all developers and publishers, and they can choose to use it for titles that will be release on Xbox One first and come to the Xbox Series X later.

Xbox Game Pass: In addition to games from across four generations of consoles, our leading game subscription service, Xbox Game Pass, will continue to have our first party games, like Halo Infinite, included at their launch. We look forward to millions of you experiencing the Xbox Game Pass portfolio and immersing yourselves in a deep library of high-quality games, playing those you love now and also discovering your next great adventure.
In regards to Smart Delivery, both Halo Infinite and Cyberpunk 2077 will support the feature when they launch.

Few of those are really big deals, but ultimately it falls on devs to exploit them. And honestly that's very rarely the case until the latter years of the console's life cycle. I doubt any XBone game fully tested the console, and in fact this generation was rife with incomplete or busted games at launch and nothing about those specs addresses that.

* Gamestop is currently offering $65 in rewards for those who subscribe to their Rewards Pro program as one of their last ditch attempts to save the company. Like most things with Gamestop, it comes with a big catch in the sense that you only get $5 in discounts per month and the coupons don't stack.

* PC digital distributor GOG announced that they recently updated their store terms to now allow 30 day refunds for PC games purchased from them.

EA is currently rumored to be working on a new Star Wars game called Star Wars: Project Maverick based on a recent accidentally leak from the European PlayStation Store.

Other than a title image, which features a Star Destroyer and a few X-Wings in flight, very little info is available on the title - which one would assume is coming from Electronic Arts as they currently hold the rights to produce Star Wars video games. As noted by Gematsu, the Content ID listing does suggest that Project Maverick is not a VR title, but that it does feature multiplayer.

According to a report from the Hollywood Reporter, HBO recently approved plans for a The Last of Us television series.

Craig Mazin, Chernobyl series, and Neil Druckmann, The Last of Us series, were revealed to be the writers for this new tv series.

Sony also confirmed that they dropped their plans for a Last of Us film in favor of a tv series instead.

Although this is new territory for the PlayStation Productions division of Sony Pictures Television, The Last of Us' TV series won't take aim at any untold stories within the Cordyceps-ravaged America. It'll simply tell the narrative from the original game, meaning that Joel and Ellie will be the two central characters. It's said that a successful debut could lead to The Last of Us Part II being adapted for TV too, a second season so to speak.

According to a report from Ars Technica, this year's E3 expo has been cancelled and unofficial reasons related to the declining support from the industry and coronavirus health concerns.

Quote:
Multiple sources familiar with the Entertainment Software Association (ESA)'s plans have confirmed to Ars Technica that the organization, which is responsible for the annual Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3), will soon cancel the three-day expo. Like in prior years, E3 2020 was scheduled to play out in early June as a three-day event at the Los Angeles Convention Center. Shortly after we received the tip, indie game publisher Devolver Digital posted a brief, ominous message on Twitter: "Cancel your E3 flights and hotels, y'all." The ESA had not made any announcements about E3 2020 at that time.

One source who spoke to Ars on background said they'd heard the news of E3 2020's cancellation "directly from ESA members" and that an official, public statement on the matter "was supposed to be today [Tuesday, March 10] and slipped."

"Following increased and overwhelming concerns about the COVID-19 virus, we felt this was the best way to proceed during such an unprecedented global situation.

The ESA will reach out to exhibitors and attendees with further information regarding refunds and cancelled plans The group is also "exploring options" with regards to delivering news via an online event in E3's stead.

It appears as though we might have gotten an accidental leak via YouTube to L.A. Noire Part II, as the site's algorithm added a topic by that name, which only happens once a significant amount of content referencing any topic is enough to trigger it to add a topic. A single video was publicly posted, appearing to be the official music video of '80s hit "Break My Stride" by Matthew Wilder, which apparently legally cleared past its copyright owner.

All of this, along with a recent addition to R*'s website of a background featuring an '80s-style robot, has lead to speculation that it all may be an L.A. Noire sequel set in the 1980s.

* Microsoft's Major Nelson recently denied rumors of the Xbox Series X console launching this Thanksgiving and the current plans are still for a Holiday 2020 launch.

* Gamestop is currently dealing with backlash both online and from their employees regarding the lack of health safety measures enacted for the coronavirus at their stores. The backlash got to the point that Gamestop announced they were cancelling all midnight launch events for the foreseeable future due to growing health concerns.

* Sony revealed some new details regarding their upcoming PS5 in terms of specs and backwards compatibility.

Cerny confirms that PS5 users can buy "certain M2 SSDs on the open market, which you can install in the bay on the PS5" ...

The new Xbox will enter the arena with a faster CPU, roughly the same memory, and 175GB more SSD storage space out of the box. Comparing IO throughput, the PS5 rocks "5.5GB/s (Raw), Typical 8-9GB/s (Compressed)," and the Xbox Series X is rolling with "2.4 GB/s (Raw), 4.8 GB/s (Compressed, with custom hardware decompression block)." A clear win for PS5.

The result is that most PS4 titles will be playable on PS5 at launch. Cerny specifically mentions that Sony looked at the top 100 most-played PS4 games and "almost all of them" will be backward compatible. However, every title has to be individually tested because some "game code just can't handle it."

Apparently Gamestop is currently encouraging their stores to not comply with local and state orders regarding the coronavirus outbreak based on a recent internal memo sent by the company.

Gamestop's excuse is they considering themselves to be "essential retail" that should remain open to the public.

That's the part that's pathetic and tone-deaf: That GameStop asks its poor employees to defy law enforcement and ignore a worldwide crisis. Here's the part that's hilarious: GameStop's logic for doing so is because the video game store fancies itself as "essential retail." The memo reads "Due to the products we carry that enable and enhance our customers' experience in working from home, we believe GameStop is classified as essential retail and therefore is able to remain open during this time."

Bad as it sounds, they sort of are essential right now. People probably looking to get a console and some games to keep the backlog heavy to keep themselves occupied for however long this...……..thing lasts.

No use wandering into a big box store like a Wal-Mart, Target, Best Buy etc. with a shitload of people in there when you can walk into a GameStop and just be you and the clerk in the store. Yes, I know. Don't go out. But we all gotta go out for stuff sooner or later.

Online shopping obviously is the safe way to go right now. But even the e-retailers and the shipping companies can only do so much.

Gamestop's ongoing PR mess with the coronavirus took another turn for the worst.

They recently informed their California stores that shut down due to state government orders that manager-level employees only have two options for their jobs:
1) Use up their personal time in order to save their jobs
2) File for unemployment

The company isn't going to pay anyone there while the government order is active.

If that guys dumb enough to think any business should be paying workers when they have 0 profits ive got a time share opportunity for him.


To make it worse if gamestop loses much (see: nearly any) revenue theyll fold. Youll go from laid off to unemployed real quick.
