When was the last time something hit SE expectations? They have complained about Avengers, Guardians, Tomb Raider, Hitman, Sleeping Dogs etc not hitting expectations and they're all multiplats lol.
I have owned CRT televisions that could do 720p or 480i; most of what it comes down to is signal, so if your TV can't do component input or HDMI input (like some of the widescreen CRTs can, as far as HDMI goes), or even S-Video for that matter, then it isn't going to look as great as it could. You can also get the OEM VGA adapter to plug up a 360 to a CRT computer monitor, and it even lets you choose your output resolution like a PC! :D
Someone probably already mentioned this but DirectSR is the API "bridge" to make it easier for devs to implement SR tech AutoSR is an AI upscaling that works on any Windows universal app both are still early so I personally don't see them in Xbox Series XS
Regarding Mechwarrior: I might remember it wrong, but when Microsoft bought Fasa they also aquired the Video Game rights for Crimson Skies, Shadowrun and Mechwarrior (Not Battletech, that´s seperate). But they licenced all 3 IPs. out to Smith&Tinker who themselves gave the rights to Piranha Games till 202X. So Mechassault might not get an re-release until Microsoft gets the rights back.
Jez, you got it so wrong about Nintendo and Palworld. Im glad you are speaking to professionals about it because you need educating. First you suggest its wierd that 2 companies from japan are going through the japanese courts, then you suggest its more corrupt. You dont understand Japan, you dont understand their copyright laws. TemTem, Cassette beasts, Yokai watch, and many others release without law suits. Why is this one different? Maybe think about it unbiasedly. I live in Japan, and it took a month to get my bank card. Its an extremely bureaucratic country. Youre surprised that it took about 9 months to file a lawsuit? How long did the Activision takeover take in the most "free" country that is lawsuit-happy. Youre pissed at Nintendo, i remember when you wernt, but thats cool. Just dont let your nias and anger cloud your judgment.
@@TheNomad1990 PS did the same thing lol they both only had a few studios at the start and went on to buy most of the studios they now own lol but I'm not sure why that really matters or who cares.
Jez is such a console warrior. Any chance he gets to dunk on Nintendo he can’t resist. Edit: BTW many companies have tried to compete with Nintendo with a more powerful offering. They all fail. Good luck Microsoft. I’m sure you will sell a few hundred thousand.
I played one FF game and it was terrible. Unlikely ill ever buy wnother FF game.😊 Ive felt theres veen nothing to play most of the year. Luigis mansion 2, baldurs gate and DRDR are pretty much it for me this year.
for me ignoring the fact final fantasy is now basically a playstation game, u have not enjoyed a ff game since 13 part 2. 15 was just awful i managed 2 hours before i never wanted to go back, i disliked ff7r i hated the combat, ff16 diddnt even look fun and by the sounds of it missing it is not a bad plan. im not sure im ever likely to go back to ff i would rather play xenoblade or yakuza i find them a lot more fun. honestly bar nier i cant remember the last square game i wasnt disappointed by and without a demo i just dont trust them to do a pc port properly anyway
Nintendo is a bad actor, but you really shouldn't make these statements about patent law if you haven't done research. Alot of it is inaccurate (back to the 80s? A patent is 20 years...)
Why are console ports with upgrades beyond texture and resolution bad but PC ports or xbox texture and resolution packs are good? TLOU came out on PS3 and PS4 port came a year later. TLOU and Demons Souls Remake are from the ground up. PS has done a remaster of every AAA PS4 game starting from 2018 except for Horizon, Days Gone and GoW18. Those got PC ports with upgrades beyond what PS4 patches can achieve. PS5 fills the gap. 10$ to being a game forward with all the new systems tech isn't bad. The loading speed and haptics alone might be worth it. Horizon,Days Gone and GoW are late cross gen ports basically.
F#&! Jez! If you own something (idea), it's not right to steal it! Even Jez would not like something to be stolen from him. Hypocritical if you say you don't mind being stolen from.
Why do people think your locked in with digial on console. If i went to a which i plan to next gen. All my games on series x doesn't disappear. I can still play them and move to ps for new games
FF16 sold 3 million copies in 1 week on PS5. Just because square had high expectations that FF16 would cover their losses doesn't mean PS5 gamers don't buy games. Xbox players better match the player base ratio for sales meaning 1.5 million or stop capping.
Relax these are videogames none of this matters on top of the fact you aren’t the CEO of either Xbox or PlayStation so there is no reason for you to even care about sales because none of this lines your pockets lol
Late ports are never going to do as well as day 1 games. PS gamers talk a big game about buying games, but really only pony up for those first party pony games (but not Concord😂)
3:27:03 horrible answer. I try to temper the pretentious film buff in me as much as possible, and I generally do not judge other peoples tastes - but this set me off. I would erase Star Wars from existence without hesitation if it meant saving Godfather 1 and 2. Both of you should be ashamed of yourselves 😂
Very good question. We should ask it more often. Maybe he is insecure. It doesn't matter how he looks. We love him for his perso. RAAAND DO YOU HEAR ME?
You first mention he might be insecure, then you say "we should ask him more". Are you really that dense or insensitive? If you don't care how he looks why do you even ask? The podcast has been like this for years, why does it really matter? @@Hippiaszful

Enjoy your weekend everyone 🎉
Thank you so much!
How many hours does Rand have in a day. To complete games, watch movies, read books and work? 😀
@@Immaustine what does Rand do for work btw? Also does he have a gf? Just curious
Xbox 2 best Xbox podcast in the entire universe
Shout out to Rand for the “From” shout out last week. I checked it out bc of his high recommendation and man it’s so damn good.
When was the last time something hit SE expectations? They have complained about Avengers, Guardians, Tomb Raider, Hitman, Sleeping Dogs etc not hitting expectations and they're all multiplats lol.

Your comment on Nintendo remastering, they did they remastered the WiiU catalog to switch
The difference being that these were some great games stuck on an unsuccessful platform.
Playstation remasters games that you can already play.
@greggski3710 you can still play on 360 your point is moot. Lol
Microsoft plan feels like it is to add all the ABK games to Gamepass in a decade or century at the pace they are going.
What happen to rand being on camera 😂
Nobody wants to see his face on camera
@@JoshDailey-f2j have some respect yes we do lol
Why be on camera when Xbox is on its death bed , maybe after they rebrand the podcast
@@Valy696 😂 Xbox console is about to be done for . But that ain't got nothing to do with him saying they reach 100k and he get on camera lol
@@spectrexr1 maybe lose some weight first ? I dunno
The power plant is 3 mile island in Pennsylvania
That PS bundle will legit be $1500.
PS5Pro + Dual Sense Edge + Diskplayer + PS Portal + PS1 style
Great show.I just want to say to you rand that I have purchased the first two books of the wheel of time.
FOR THE HORDE!!!Unshackled Fury awesome Podcast!!!
Someone probably already mentioned this but DirectSR is the API "bridge" to make it easier for devs to implement SR tech AutoSR is an AI upscaling that works on any Windows universal app both are still early so I personally don't see them in Xbox Series XS
Yep. From tv show is amazing. Also I agree with the dangerous argument of Nintendo about gameplay mechanics 😢
I grew up semi poor and I used to eat miracle whip sandwiches. I looovvveee miracle whip over the regular mayonnaise

Got the overwatch ad but can't claim anything. 🤔 (EU, DE)
Sony will probably release the remaster for Horizon Zero Dawn on PC for full price and also say a Playstation account is required.
If CA's Halo game is cancelled that suuuuuuucks
There gonna have to start calling the podcast ‘the PC two’ the amount Jez goes on about PC
Hey PC is the best platform, I play on console mainly but that's only bcs I don't have a PC.
@hihosilver1234 LOL
The Xbox Galaxy console is not what she was talking about. She said at the end of year aka the holidays. June is not the holidays.
Been watching 'From' for a few years now, glad there's a new season coming.
Great show
Nintendo will never do anything because "MS and PS had to do it". They will never want their characters to be on PC due to modding.
Concord is a classic example of go walk go broke

Wait what happened to rdx podcast?
People don’t realize. Microsoft gaming published Gears 1-3 on 360. Xbox=Microsoft gaming. People are getting too ahead of themselves lol
Bro.. Xbox made nothing. They bought everything. Get your shit together
Everyone knows that . Xbox didn't make anything and that what messed them up in the Xbox one gen and this gen .
@@TheNomad1990 PS did the same thing lol they both only had a few studios at the start and went on to buy most of the studios they now own lol but I'm not sure why that really matters or who cares.
@@TheNomad1990 it’s the same company lmaoo

Calling someone a console warrior then acting like a console warrior in the next sentence... Interesting decision you made there.
Sounds like you're a Nintendo console warrior lmao

It's decent for sure, definitely worth playing through if you're a fan of the genre
Season 5 is so fun, straight crack
@@j_dun4830 agreed, me and the GF have put several hundred hours into the game since season 3, and I've put over 1500 since the first beta.

FF16 and F remake didn't do bad numbers it seems but Square just likely expected more profits from one of their biggest IPs.
Imma buy that game, I really liked FFXV
@@tji7046 No, 16 and rebirth are underperforming compared to what past ff games like 15 and 13 did
