>X is a little less shit than the competence.
this is the actual state of consoles, same goes for handhelds.
I know this thread is gonna be a bunch of shitposting, but I'm really interested to see what Phil Spencer does now that he's almost done fixing the shitstorm he started with in 2013.
He obviously cares about games over platform and is content with content NOT being exclusive to consoles. My worry is that Microsoft is still gonna be obsessing with only the big tentpole games and won't care about games that actually do try something different.
>yet another non-game gets a 10 out of 10
>IGN didn't give a single 10/10 between the years of like 2001 and 2008

Anyone else getting really bored with "art" games?
>>343153390
Why are these indie shitter games continuing to get such high scores on IGN? Microsoft needs to start giving us Halo 3 for PC instead.

Nigger I don't even have a gaming PC. Sorry I don't like your company's shitty game though.
>>343153768
He still cares about exclusives, they are just extending their games division to include Windows PCs, which has been the gameplay of Microsoft since they announced that they are offering free updates to 10. They want to justify the cost by introducing people to the Windows 10 store. They even emphasized this point when asked why they would offer the upgrade to people with pirated copies of Windows 7/8. They need people with Windows 10 because it allows them to be potential customers on their software front.
Something that is PC/Xbone, is just them extending to the casual console playerbase who just want to buy a box and play games, while also trying to reach to more enthusiast crowd who builds their own PC and has a strong setup. It's all still going to microsoft, its different than Sony money hatting SFV and it still ending up on PC. I don't think Sony is getting anything from the PC sales of that game compared to the PS4 version. But I think Sony's idea on this, is that the PC market isn't actually a threat to the console market, which is kind of true.
That being said, he has done a pretty good job with the games division since he took over, damage is still done by the fuckface before, but Phil Spencer seems like a cool guy all around.

Enter the Scorpio.
Now what he needs to do is get some hits outside of Gears-Forza-Halo. He needs an RPG franchise to replace Fable I'd say.
>>343154598
I think they are different markets too.
But the point is that Microsoft is just extending their arm into it with the Windows 10 store, so "not exclusive" isn't really accurate, its still "Microsoft exclusive" when they release games on both PC/Xbone.
It's like what Sony did when lots of games were multiplats only between Vita/Ps3/Ps4
It's still all just Sony consoles.
PC/Xbone is still just Microsoft territory.

Cpus don't need to change with an i5/i7 just the video card. With iterative consoles you're paying 400 for a new one plus 150 bucks of paid online totaling out to 550 bucks to stay on top every 3 years.
Meanwhile on pc you can throw 300-400 on a video card that will be stronger than a console by a large margin.
>>343155469
If wasn't for Spencer I bet by this time Don Mattrick would be focusing on Xbox Two VR featuring Kinect 2.0

There's literally no reason to buy a Microsoft console.
>>343155614
The only good side of pcs are the prices of the games because believe me that before 2020 this new AMD memecard will be considered low-setting tier
>>343155330
Because Fable is pretty shitty. And frankly I'm fucking tired of fantasy. We're finally getting some sci-fi games and I'd rather Obsidian make one of those than another shitty fantasy IP. Especially since they have Pillars, and they don't have Avellone.

>>343155614
You're right but
>550 bucks to stay on top every 3 years.
The last generation was 8 years long.
By the time the scorpio/neo are out, this generation will have been 4 years.

>>343153390

It was basically just Another World but not new and not good, why would I want more?
>>343155778
The slated neo is said to hold a weaker variant of the 480 which is btw a budget card. Like the 750ti. Most people deal with the 1070/490 just like people now hold the 970/390 as the main competitors.
If the neo comes out this year or next, we'll be seeing the next iteration by 2019/2020.
Unless you're delusional enough to think sony is gonna let the scorpio shit on it for 8 years.

it's possible that Project Scorpio is a GPU only
>>343155993
>because reasons
It's because it was an indie artsy game. These critics are going to keep giving favorable reviews to games like this regardless of how bland they really are. I wish fun indie games like Castle Crashers were all the rage again. At least that game tried to be a game first and foremost.
>>343156487
If you want to add an extra year that price just goes up to 600
The neo will come out first so I said 3 years. My guess is this September or early next year.
Then repeat the cycle for 2019/2020. The next iteration of consoles will have 3-4 years of paid online plus whatever iteration they hold at a starting price of 400 minimum. The disadvantage with that is that anyone with a pc can outpace the consoles largely in power since all they have to do is drop cash on a video card since cpus are stagnant. Heck sony is still gonna use that shitty jaguar in the neo to keep prices low. That's not even including the fact that gray market sites like green man gaming can drop new releases under 40 bucks.
So in the end consoles will be largely expensive if you want to keep up.
>>343156331
>sprint

It's shit
The question is do we really need Microsoft? How exactly dose anyone benefit so long as they stay in the console business? Their games only apply to Americans, they're 90% third person shooters, Kenji Infaune is directing their next big exclusive like what the fuck is even the point of Microsoft in the console business? Is it just for indie games and a paid review or what exactly is the point because I don't get it, they could fold tomorrow or leave the console space entirely and it would literally have zero affect on me.
There are literally more Xbox shills on /v/ at any given moment than actual Xbox fans, it's honestly just so pointless.
>>343156874
It's funny these same "journalists" give Uncharted 4 and Last of Us 10/10
>>343156889
One thing to note is that with Scorpio I think they will not release any other console until 2021 which means they don't have to spend money on R&D

>>343157085

And it will keep continuing because too many of these fags prefer art/movies instead. So they will prefer games like this. Gameplay heavy games are too gamey.
That shitter trying to play doom at polygon probably is one of many that we will never even know about.
>>343157085
>One thing to note is that with Scorpio I think they will not release any other console until 2021 which means they don't have to spend money on R&D
Sony and MS will try to 1up each other.
In fact I don't think sony will enjoy being shit on scorpio by the neo for many years by that much of a margin. I wouldn't be surprised if they started doing releases every 1-2 years.
Likewise MS won't let sony put out something stronger for too long. So if sony does 2020, ms will do 2021 then wait 3 years and repeat. But this would mean sony will be behind for a longer time vs ms being behind for only 1 year. Thus sony will try to prevent this from happening and ms will follow suit.
I mean if you look at the situation now the ps4 was out November 2013
Now we're getting rumors we'll see it by the end of this year or early next year. That's a clean 3 years. With the scorpio out a year after, I wonder if sony will allow 2 years to pass of it being weaker only to keep repeating the cycle. Or just say fuck it and bring the next iteration early. Gonna be interesting to see.

However, this is true for bad reasons. Supporting his games going to PC and his console equally is literally saying that its ok if the Xbone does not sale. Which makes no logically sense. I refuse to believe that there isn't some sort of hidden agenda of some kind here. He wants the support of PC users, and as for why, the Scorpio is probably going to reveal that in some way.
>>343158335

>>343157893
Yea I'm sure sony will be ok with this cycle

And the same game they sell in the US store for 50
>>343153768
>He obviously cares about games over platform and is content with content NOT being exclusive to consoles
I can guarantee you Phil has nothing to do with Xbox's current direction.It's was more than likely an order coming down from the very top to reign things in and start putting all their stuff on the Win10 store because it's the only thing MS has that will get people to use it.
>>343158335
>Supporting his games going to PC and his console equally is literally saying that its ok if the Xbone does not sale.
No it's not. He's offering the opportunity for core PC users, who were never going to buy an Xbone anyway, to buy their first party games.

Fuck no they don't, TLoU is one of the most insanely boring campaigns with retarded AI, generic zombie bullshit and unlikable characters in a predictable as fuck plot. Multiplayer was really good but had to be fucked by bullshit DLC weapons. It's a 2/5
Uncharted 4 on the other hand has a campaign that has fantastic combat sequences but has to be tied down by a fucking plot that sucks all the action blockbuster fun out of the series to turn into The Last of Nate and have way too much climbing where nothing happens and puzzles that are fucking easy as shit but take too fucking long to do. Multiplayer is a shitfest with bugs galore and one of the worst ranked systems I've ever fucking touched. A 3/5
Microsoft still sucks massive donkey dick though, Ori was fucking boring and this looks like total garbage

>I feel that most europeans and americans don't like to spend the time of setting up windows 10
Well you would be wrong there. You are literally saying that people are so lazy, they would rather spend $300+ then just upgrading their OS. People hate Windows 10, I get that, and I understand that, but those people are in the minority. Most normal people look at another windows upgrade and just do it without reading the fine print or caring.
>>343158660
>Windows is still the most commonly used OS
>Its logical to assume most ordinary people will upgrade to Windows 10 eventually
>The choice of spending $60 on a game to play it on their PC they already have, or $300+ to play it on a console.
Yeah no, logic dictates that most people will take the cheaper option every single time.
Example: Tell a pirate that its better to buy games, then to get the same experience for free, and see what choice they make.
You can't convince me that Microsoft is porting their games to Windows 10 "out of the kindness of their hearts". They are building trust with PC gamers for a reason. Its going to lead up to something, and whatever it is, I am sure PC gamers won't fall for it. It will fail, and Microsoft will have another scandal of some kind on their hands. It probably has something to do with the Scorpio.
>>343159441
I want another Jap company to make a replacement console. Maybe then there will be more multiplat Jap games, though knowing how Japan operates exclusively on the 'make games only for the best seller in our country' model, they will still be exclusive. So we're fucked no matter what happens.

The way I see it: those hipsters (I just watched the Inside video IGN review) want everything to have a political message.

What happens is the legit sites like gmg and gamesplanet likely buy steam codes from devs but don't take the 30% cut steam takes.
So they profit way less from each copy. Dunno why steam allows this but that's how games are cheap. G2A seems to be more shifty given their code recalls and their REALLY cheap games before release.

I think new or smaller devs are given codes but need to request it from steam how many they want. Large publishers can do it themselves.
Devs can then sell some of these codes to other resellers.
I think gmg was complaining witcher 3 devs didn't want to sell them codes. It's usually based on contracts but I don't know much.

I'll help you out then. VPN for GOG so you can buy as a Russian (great conversion rate) and a simple place to start hunting for cheap keys is Ebay and CDKeyPrices.com
Also if you bookmark dealzon.com you can find all sorts of discount codes for sites like G2A and GMG (GMG is pretty awesome if you are weary of shady keysites, it is super trustworthy and you can almost always score a new game 30% off at launch)

Maybe thats why they give walking simulators such high scores, because they don't challenge them at all. They congratulate those who tell intead of the ones who show.

It is not like that. PC is just Avant Gard, we get loads of technologies and features that will come only in the next or two generations ahead on consoles. You can buy a High End card and stay with it for 5 years easily, at max you will just turn off AA and put shadows on low.

>950
I'm a hardend Nvidia fag. Superior drivers. You can play the new game you bought day one rather than waiting 6 months for driver performance parity from AMD. However I gotta say, at that price point there are better options. It hurts me as a greenteam fag to say this but the 480 is only 199 and will run circles around the 950. Even the 470 will do the same at less. I'd strongly reconsider.
That said I'm still pissed I can't get my hands on 2x 1080 FTW cards. They've been sold out since launch. Stuck with my 980Ti until then

Always happens.
>>343161496
I'm not 100 percent, but I'm sure the 970s are going to drop in price, now that the 1080s/1070s are on the market. I've got one, and I've been able to max most of my games, and still get 60fps for the most part. I'll never understand why the 970 gets so much flak on here. It's been a pretty decent card, from my experience.
>>343161578
Why do you spend so much money on graphic cards?
980ti is more than enough for another 3 years of gaming
>>343155006
I wonder how much did they blow on Kinect. It has it's uses, just not for games lol
>>343156428
No, it will use SoC just like PS4 and XBone, but will be built over Polaris or even Vega. It may have 12GB of RAM too if you look at that render they showed at E3 presentation.
>$20 for a 3 hour game
lol no thanks, I'll just pirate it on PC.
>>343161519

>>343161579
He may have used those but he also had a valid point and sources to back up his claims.
>>343156487
Yes, and it was extremely long compared to every single one before that, which is unlikely to happen ever again, because of the fatigue users experienced in the end of it which caused the console market to panic.
>>343161692
>Why do you spend so much money on graphic cards?
>980ti is more than enough for another 3 years of gaming
I play at 3440x1440, which the 980Ti struggles to push at 60FPS stable with max settings in all games. I mean SMAA and texture overscaling included, or at least max post processing.
I'm not really spending much. I can sell the 980Ti for about 400USD used to a friend and only end up spending 279USD out of pocket.
I did the same thin with the 780Ti except I sold it for 600 and got the 980Ti for about 50 bucks.
It is easy to stay current so long as you sell before value dips. The trick is to buy reference card designs with popular after market coolers. Value oriented gamers tend to buy those at launch and are looking for a second one used a year or two down the line, and the resale market for them is usually pretty small for sellers so your card can retain a huge chunk of its value.
Plus I have a job & a degree. 600 bucks is literally nothing.

>>343161959
Also if you have a backplate you can easily add on about 80 bucks to your resale value. Most companies (atleast until recently) only produce a tiny amount of backplates for cards. That is why I got 600 for a used very old 780Ti. EVGA didn't make but like 1000 backplates for the reference board and immediately cut production because Ti cards are stop-gap between new generations of GPUs

ANOTHER 10/10 game? Exsqueeze me?
Salutations, my fellow Undertalians! We have had a long (and unnesessarily dramatic :P) history on /v/, making great progress in achieving recognition for Undertale.
However, over time it has become clear that we face two enemies in gaining a broader acceptance and acclaim for Undertale: Underhaters (people on /v/ who just "don't get it" *smacks forehead) and "neutrolls", those who lack the determination xD to bring Undertale to greater heights and gain it the recognition it deserves.
While it is true that we have gained a fairly good deal of recognition and acceptance for Undertale over the past few months, I can't help but feel that are progress is flagging somewhat. We can do so much better, guys! We need renewed DETERMINATION! You have to remember what makes Undertale special FOR YOU. You have to remember why you chose to be an Undertalian in a first place--whether that was crying when goatmom died, finding quiche under the bench, meeting Temmie, or seeing Asriel hug Frisk.
All in all, what I'm saying is: in the end, it comes down to you. Talk to your fellow Undertalians. Talk to me. Renew your energy and accumulate support. It doesn't happen without us, and it doesn't happen without YOU, one by one, each and every Undertalian. Undertale has only barely breached 2 million sales. It has so much further to go. The sky (or the center of the Earth if you like :D) is the limit!

>>343158620
No he's pretty much a life long PC gamer. He was part of the rogue "skunkworks" branch the Encarta team made to put MS into gaming in the early 90's which convince Bill Gates to make gaming a major feature of Windows 95. Including the famous Doom port done by Gabe Newell. The goal of the Xbox from day one was to eventually create a shared ecosystem with PC by the plans laid out by J Allard, Robbie Bach, Seamus Blackley and Ed Fries but it got lost and muddied when the 360 started becoming successful on its own, Peter Moore suddenly left and he was replaced with Don Matrick who basically went full retard.
Hell, apparently Phil almost left a few times because of the frustration and politics dealing with a lot of bullshit from MS (Especially since he was Studio head in Europe and looking after Rare and Lionhead who kept having proto after proto turned down). Go watch that new IGN Unlocked with Ed Fries. It's incredible how Xbox even functioned and survived and Ed Fries even says that Spencer came into his office and asked if he should quit back in 2004 when Ed Fries was leaving before the 360 launched.

Yes I'd be inclined to agree that the news should be in focus if that was indeed the focus. But of course people are going to wank all over looks, that's just human nature and you can't just go crazy whenever people do. Because people do. Both male and females at that.

>>343170720
Not as much now because he mentions the way Xbox slots in the divisions (As a subsidiary of Windows) is the way it should have been run in the first place and he loves how it's been handled post Matrick so it doesn't have to deal with absurd pressure from shareholders and management. Or as he seen, near constant arguments between Gates and Ballmer over the direction (Ballmer blocked them buying Sega when Gates was all for it, even). He made his money and decided to leave to do what he wanted.
It's a real good interview. He holds back way less than the previous one.

ORAS deserved an 7.8, but the reasons why IGN marked down the grade are complete bullshit.
>>343171660
I see you're a Microsoft fanboy. Good for you. They want to maximize the amount of revenue they get. They can do so by convincing consumers to buy their console, opening a gateway for those consumers to buy more games whose developers must pay a licensing fee and royalties for being on the Xbox. However, if a game is on both Xbox and Windows, consumers are less incentivized to invest in the console.
However, Microsoft gets nothing for games on Windows. Very few will upgrade their aging copies of Windows just for this game and even fewer will go out of their way to buy a Windows computer because everyone already has one or has access to one, not to mention Windows is now free, completely deleting Windows as a source of revenue for Microsoft.
>>343171873
They are, retard. The games that say Windows 10 are going to be on the Windows Store, not Steam
This game will be on all versions of steam you dumbfuck.

He said he's happy with his current advisor gig for gaming startups and he's happy how MS is handling Xbox now (Especially their indie program) while most of the people part of the Encarta skunkworks project are running core parts of gaming at MS instead of outsiders and now executing the original vision the original team had in the "Shared Ecosystem" so he has no reason to go back in the first place. His job is done, even if it's a decade on when they first envisioned it.

Apparently J still is spotted on MS campus from time to time. He was one of Ballmers advisors for years and Nadella kept him on. He's just not interested in rejoining even when he was even considered for the CEO gig. He's hugely passionate about his start up on Bike security and cyclist safety (He's a huge cycling enthusiast and had his bike stolen a number of times. Even on MS campus.) and he's made that his life now.

Encarta was huge back in the 80's and 90's before Wiki and had a relatively big team. Thing was they liked sneaking easter eggs and small games in Encarta (And got yelled at) because they loved video games and wanted to even add mini-games to explore in Encarta. MS also would let employees work on other experimental projects (As in Skunkworks) on the side as long as they were hitting milestones on products and a bunch of them decided to work on a PC Gaming push as a side project to Encarta to try push gaming inside MS. Bill liked it, especially after they showed the success of Doom (And the trouble the encarta team got into because they were obsessed with it and held LAN parties in the office) and eventually MS Gaming Studios was formed in the wake of it to do more videogames that would push Direct X and PC as a gaming platform as a small part of Windows. That would eventually culmanate in Bill seeing the console market and wanting Windows to be on TV's because they had success in the PC market and were one of the biggest publishers in PC at the time with two of the best selling PC Games (MS Flight Sim and Age Of Empires).
There's a huge history of gaming in MS beyond Xbox and it was mainly down to the Encarta team's side project. That's where it all began.

Why in the fuck would anyone buy an XBOXONE at this point? Did we all see the same E3? Everything XBOX is going to be folded into Windows 10. All 'exclusive' games are also on PC.

Microsoft took a giant dump on anyone that already owned one of their consoles. I'm an idort.
