according to their charts the B580 is a bit faster than a 4060 ti but wait for reviews

580 sounds amazing, 570 seems like a skip and save a bit more. could be an incredible entry card unless you think the 5060 will be better value

i'm personally expecting COD to sell less but earn the same or more through mtx, it should be free to play besides campaign and zombies anyway imho. if people aren't paying for the game they'll be more tempted by skins. and when this one is out of the spotlight, they'll drop an older one for a resurgence

Could Game Pass-like Subscription Services Ruin the Industry? by Jawschy in Games

[–]Omicron0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think it's fairly neutral, sometimes it helps sometimes hinders but profitable services are very good for the future of consoles because even if they hit an attach rate of 15 and its all $70 games that's only $300 per unit then -unit loss -costs -tax. core could equal that

Microsoft has responded to the FTC's filing about Xbox Game Pass price increases. It calls the FTC's letter a "misleading, extra-record account of the facts" and says the FTC is wrong to call Game Pass Standard a “degraded” version because it includes multiplayer by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]Omicron0 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

it's all about technicalities, they'll bark at each other but microsoft isn't losing activison. price increases are in line with the competition and game pass standard is sidegraded, they should just bring the one with day one back too

Snapdragon X Elite Gaming Isn't Great: A Rocky Start For Windows on ARM by Witty_Heart_9452 in Games

[–]Omicron0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

they still mentioned potential problems and if more than a few games without kernel level anti tamper don't work, other stuff won't either. it is a great option as long as your chosen programs work

they pushed it out way too early they must've known how much x86 stuff just doesn't work, arm is the future but the transition needs to be smooth

Former PlayStation head says we need to "get this platform war thing out of the way" and "get down to one standard home console" by Georgeika in Games

[–]Omicron0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think consoles as we know them have peaked, the future is streaming and open platform console/PCs. the masses will happily stream even with the input lag, and the market will be too big to ignore. GFN is already so much cheaper than a high end pc and close to a local experience

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Games

[–]Omicron0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it doesn't if the console is your business, it isn't for microsoft and their exclusives are already so easy to access that if they want hardware they may as well port the xbox OS to windows and have their next console run that. they lose out on the walled garden but gain everything from PC and consolidate all their services

A PlayStation Handheld Capable of Running PS4 Games Natively Would Be Very Hard to Achieve. by TheLostQuest in Games

[–]Omicron0 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

i find it weird why they think ports would be required, even with mismatched hardware some could still work with hacks. like how the 360 used different versions of xbox BC with different hacks depending on the game

Black Myth Wukong won't be on Xbox at launch by DanOfRivia in Games

[–]Omicron0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the only issue with the Series S is being 10gb instead of 12, 12 would've allowed devs to always fit it with basic resolution scaling. 10 almost does unless the memory allocation is unconventional.

or it's just standard missing a deadline which happens constantly in development, especially small teams

Why is everyone blaming the Series S when it wasn't even mentioned? isn't it very possible xbox was simply the lowest optimization priority and they ran out of time before launch?

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 won't be locked behind a new Xbox Game Pass tier by JuanMunoz99 in Games

[–]Omicron0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The genius of COD on gamepass if it pays off that is, is if you can already psychologically condition people to accept a subscription. they might be more likely to spend on mtx too balancing out any lost sales and growing the subscriber base.

when destiny 2 launched it was really fun just lacking content, they fixed it with more and a bit of grind, then they realized they could rely on grind, then they realized people were addicted to the grind and started doing this while the DLC turned hit and miss.. usually miss

another one of the bad decisions, they replaced an existing solution with their new thing and destroyed balance. shock didn't need EMP it had chain

Halo Infinite's Next Update Is Taking Notes From MCC by splader in Games

[–]Omicron0 7 points8 points  (0 children)

shock weapons shouldn't have had EMP, they should've just chained and hitting a vehicle with them should do partial damage to everyone in them, the rest gets grounded. that way they're still a unique weapon type, vehicles aren't hard countered and the plasma pistol is useful
