    The Series X should have a menu to see which games you can Quick Resume

    Posted: 14 Dec 2020 09:49 AM PST

    I'm loving using Quick Resume, but I can't help but thinking there should be a list of the games that are currently resume-able that appears somewhere upon pressing the Xbox button. That would really make transitioning between games seamless - the way it is now you have to go back into your Game library to find that game you were playing a couple days ago, and you can't see which games you can Quick Resume.

    IMO they should also add a little note that tells you which game you are about to lose the ability to Quick Resume when you start that 6th game.

    EDIT: As u/KinoTheMystic pointed out, looks like Microsoft is already on top of this. Here's a snippet from Jason Ronald (Director of Program Management) on Major Nelson's podcast #726:

    "We're really listening to that feedback... some of the feedback that we've heard is, the ability to know which games are Quick Resume enabled vs. not, or knowing which titles have a current Quick Resume state saved off, and other ideas that players have, so, we're continuing to listen to that feedback..."

    Kinect was ahead of it’s time.

    Posted: 14 Dec 2020 05:17 AM PST

    Think about it. Pretty much every smart home has a smart speaker which has a microphone that constantly listens to everything. Some of them even come with cameras. The Kinect attempted to do this 7 years ago but back then the concept of these devices 'invading your privacy' (which the NSA does anyway) would freak people out. If Microsoft sold the Kinect separately at launch maybe it wouldn't have been killed off the way it did. It's a damn shame because the tech in the Kinect worked as advertised. Consistently. It's just that no one wanted it at the time.

    The elder scrolls v Skyrim just got added to gamepass

    Posted: 14 Dec 2020 05:14 PM PST

    Now that’s customer service a refund in 14 mins

    Posted: 14 Dec 2020 06:56 AM PST

    I recently gave my day one Xbox One to my little brother and I couldn’t go without having a console in the home. Might not be the Series S/X but it’s gonna be here for a couple of years.

    Posted: 14 Dec 2020 04:38 PM PST

    CDPR"The problem with console version of Cyperbunk 2077 is a problem with device performance."

    Posted: 14 Dec 2020 07:35 PM PST

    CD Projekt Red held an emergency board call today to provide an update on the situation to shareholders, which is worth listening to. A lot more depth than the Twitter post for sure. Here is the full recording, and I summarized some key highlights below:

    https://www.cdprojekt.com/en/wp-content/uploads-en/2020/12/conference-call-with-the-board_14-12-2020.mp3

    The main theme was CDPR's leadership taking the blame for pushing on releasing too soon, underestimating performance issues on last gen consoles. They take a position as if the only issue is the technical performance on PS4/Xbox One - which is very disappointing.

    At 32:50 there finally is a question about the player feedback around the game's features vs expectations - moving away from focusing on console bugs and low performance. But the team does not address this outright beyond saying the sales are great, and do not acknowledge underdelivery vs what was promised.

    As mentioned in the Tweet, there will be an initial update in 7 days - to be followed by January and February releases. However, based on this call, it seems unlikely that there will be major updates to things like AI, interactiveness, open world features etc.

    In passing, very briefly, they mention that they see things like AI and NPC issues as "bugs", but it remains to be seen to what extent this is actually addressed in the upcoming fixes and patches.CDPR will announce sales figures before Christmas, but they mention they will likely not reveal the number of refunds claimed following today's offer to gamers.An interesting question was asked around the actual PC playing stats (playtime, stickiness etc).

    The team mentions that feedback from players that spend more time with the game is much better, especially PC gamers. They did not reveal stats around average playtime, player return, etc.Pre-order breakdown by platform was requested, provided as: PC 59%, consoles 41%. CDPR says they have no direct visibility of split between next and last gen.

    They also claim they did not budget or plan for a specific split between different gens of consoles, but merely addressed the console market as a whole.They would not reveal the split of PC sales between GOG and other platforms.https://www.reddit.com/r/cyberpunkgame/comments/kd926z/cdpr_board_call_some_highlights_and_full_recording/

    Xbox System-Link works across four console generations (Crimson Skies)

    Posted: 14 Dec 2020 08:31 AM PST

    Just finished Control. What a great game - apart from being a solid shooter, it was atmospheric - like if Inception met House of Leaves.

    Posted: 14 Dec 2020 05:21 AM PST

    It was a blast to play. The combat was challenging but not punishing, and most of the time I felt pretty powerful. The story and characters were interesting, even if it didn't quite all make sense at the end.

    I only had two criticisms. One, just because I played on an OG XBox One with a 1080p TV, a lot of the lighting effects just washed out as being bright white or bright red, and made it really hard to see sometimes. However, I wouldn't expect to have that problem with different hardware.

    Second (and this is a problem a lot of games have) there were a ton of video and audio recordings to listen to. However, for many of them, it requires you to stand still to listen to them. This really cuts things off, and so while I collected everything I could find, I watched very little of it - which probably is a little part of why I didn't get all of the end.

    That said, it's for sure one of my favorite games of the year, and I will probably get the DLC for it too.
