We already know the Xbox One needs its Kinect sensor to be operational, but what happens if the fancy new motion tracking camera malfunctions or gets damaged? Can you walk into a store and buy a replacement, or do you need to send it in to Microsoft for repairs?
"Hammerwatch II's journey to Xbox has been long and perilous. After first launching on Steam in the fall of 2023, the game finally turned up on PlayStation 5 last December. Since then, Xbox gamers who enjoyed the original Hammerwatch and the sublime Heroes of Hammerwatch have been anxiously awaiting their turn at the long-promised sequel. At last, the wait is nearly over because Hammerwatch II will hit Xbox and PlayStation 4 on April 23," says Co-Optimus.
Joe 'Three Sheets' Neate (Executive Producer): "As I’m sure you can imagine, when it comes to Sea of Thieves my days are full of numbers. Development costs, active servers, days until the next update… Sometimes, though, a truly extraordinary number stands out – a number like 40 million, which I’m incredibly pleased to say is the number of pirates who’ve now set sail in Sea of Thieves!"
Garrr... more people to walk the plank and send to Davey Jones locker.
would have been funny to release this on talk like a pirate day.
40 million have set sail...that's great. How many are sailing now? Monthly active users....when it actually matters. How many people purchased the game is another important number.
40 Mil across Stream, Windows 10, and Xbox. Healthy numbers for sure, but when PC is the biggest platform, I expected more. It’ll be interesting to see how it does on PlayStation. Very well could be double that player count in 6 months with PS too. It’s crazy for developers to skip the most popular platform, not sure why they’d want to, but they must have had their rea$ons.
Devstream 178 was filled with so many cool announcements for the game's community, and were able to ask a lot of questions about Warframe: 1999 and more!
Typical corporate speak. They should start talking to their customers about this stuff instead of holing up.
Microsoft won't even answer. That's hilarious. They don't have anything to share on what happens if your mandatory camera breaks.
LOL. How much more arrogant can you get?
Great question. Meh answer. Let's just hope it never comes to that
I think one fundamental shift happened from Xbox 360 and Xbox One that most are not seeming to understand. With the Xbox 360 Kinect was / is / always will be a peripheral that you could buy seperately. Its an add-on and wasn't part of the system. With Xbox One and Kinect 2.0 it is and always will be part of the system. Just like a disc drive in Xbox One, Kinect 2.0 is hardware for the system. They designed it all to work together. Given you can turn off all the features of Kinect through privacy settings really the system just needs to know its plugged in from what I can tell. If Kinect 2.0 isn't working its like your disc drive failing. Some functionality of the system still probably works but its limited in what it can do.
Whoever discovered Kinect need to be kicked in the head by Tony Jaa.
