A wave of innovative indie games bring a sense of optimism to an industry in urgent need of a confidence boost.
During the Valorant console beta, some players are being banned for using a keyboard and mouse to play instead of a controller.
Good. The vast majority of players use controller on consoles. Keep the playing field fair.
Until they add in crossplay then it gets completed screwed to one side
*Skewed...?
Don't play this game, but I'm guessing there's no way to filter opponent by controller method?
If they can ban people for using KBM, they must have some way to reliably detect this.
Good, they made the decision to not implement Gyro functionality for the PS5 controller to "keep things balanced" so them allowing KBM is a bs move.
Yeaaaa mouse and keyboard were a feature and still technically are a feature advertised to work on consoles since last generation. Rather than encouraging people to actually use the feature let's ban them instead. Then they wonder why people don't use alternative controller schemes on consoles.
If they don't want you to use a keyboard and mouse why implement it into the game...
A leak via the Xbox Game Pass app has revealed a new surprise game that is headed to the premium subscription service.
NoobFeed editor Azfar Rayan writes - Alan Wake II: Night Springs isn't very substantial or long-lasting unless you're a huge fan of Alan Wake II. And the DLC ends with so many unanswered questions. Perhaps the second DLC will answer all these, but for now, unless you're a huge fan of Alan Wake, you won't find it satisfying. So far, I would recommend holding off till the second DLC drops unless you are an absolute Remedy fanatic.
I'd ask Remedy to release Quantum Break again on all platforms with the FMV's included on disc. But we can't even trust them to do that especially with Microsoft's new multiplatform strategy.
If they waited a day, they could have added Mullet Madjack to that list of indie games, it even got some 9 and 10s in its reviews,
