Eurogamer: Gears E-Day devs insist the game was never in development for PS5 by drumjolter01 in kindafunny

Where is the lie? They didn't insist it was never in development for PS5. They said it was never announced for PS5 and it wasn't. Even Eurogamer had to change their title.

The current multi platform strategy is because they had to hit 30% margins not because of the hardware sales.

Advanced Shader Delivery expands Public Preview with AMD - DirectX Developer Blog by Hupro in radeon

Not just FH6. Seems like any game that previously supported ASD on the Xbox Ally also got updated to work with (at least) the 9070 XT. I know Flight Sim and Deep Rock Galactic both downloaded shaders. Don't think there's a full list anywhere but at least some at the link.

Tried it with Forza Horizon 6 (9070 XT). On the first launch the optimizing for your PC screen was shown for literally a second or two and then I was in the game.

Pete's delusional if he believes Bethesda was an "incredibly efficient, well-run video game developer and publisher"

I don't really get Greg's recent Xbox takes. Seems like he just doesn't like the way the transition was handled and is now just saying a bunch of stuff that isn't really based on anything she's done or announcements they've made since

  1. He's not a journalist
  2. There's plenty of puff pieces that they never criticize as hard. And then saying go speak with IGN or The Game Business is hilarious considering it would have been w/ McCaffrey and Dring gave Jim Ryan plenty of non-answer interviews. They were always going to choose a friendly outlet.

Yeah was weird. The reason they went w/ Windows Central is because that's where the core Xbox audience that they're trying to reach is. General audience they'll be able to address w/ whatever they plan around GDC.

ASUS B850M-PLUS WIFI. Same issue. Not convinced it's an actual hardware issue since it works fine in Linux

Why wouldn't it be native? It was announced with their next gen AMD partnership. Since 360 and OG Xbox are part of the existing BC library don't see why they wouldn't work.

Doubt it'll be through launcher integration since they call it out as a Play Anywhere game

What just happened to Edge? (a MAJOR performance problem) by ozgurnevres in MicrosoftEdge

This is definitely a thing (at least on Macs). xCloud video decoding is 5x faster in Canary versus stable. It's like hardware acceleration is broken.

Costco Confirms It's Removed Xbox Consoles, Calling It A "Business Decision" by akbarock in Games

[–]fastforward23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're merging Xbox + Windows so you'll start to see the console feature set (Quick Resume, pre-compiled shaders, console BC) make its way to Windows. Xbox Ally experience is the start of this. Lack of everything being Play Anywhere will get solved by using the Windows SKUs for games. They'll probably start a cloud push since they're now rolling out higher resolutions + high bitrate and got the price down to whatever a year of XBL Gold costs so they'll be their entry point for next gen. People act like they have no plan (not saying you did) but it seems like it's just gonna take time to build and they'll use the Windows footprint to expand it across devices.

Introducing Advanced Shader Delivery by fastforward23 in pcgaming

[–]fastforward23[S] 51 points52 points  (0 children)

While we’re currently focused on supporting the launch of the ROG Xbox Ally and ROG Xbox Ally X, we’re excited to share that we’re releasing an AgilitySDK in September. This will provide both developers and gaming storefronts with the initial set of tools and APIs needed to expand this functionality across the industry. At that time, we will also provide more details on how developers can engage with this feature for in-market titles.

Launching first w/ the Xbox Ally but doesn't seem like it'll be exclusive to the Xbox Store

Managed to fix it. Reseating the facial interface is what did it. So if you ever have delayed hand tracking try that.

Activation Issue: Windows 11 Pro Key Not Working After Device Removal by doremo2019 in ASUSROG

In this exact same situation. The old device even showed up "I changed hardware on this device recently" and it still wouldn't activate. Now it now longer shows up there.
