So today Microsoft is announcing a reinvigorated Media Center Extender effort called... wait for it... Extenders for Windows Media Center. Ok, the name totally sucks, but the important part is Microsoft upgraded its wayward Extender system with a new version that takes full advantage of Vista (including live HDTV streaming), supports 802.11n, and adds something that really blew our mind: codecs we actually care about, namely XviD and DivX. Niveus, Linksys, and D-Link will all be launching new devices based on this software platform, so watch out for those -- as well as DVD players, TVs, and all manner of other home theater devices Microsoft is apparently trying to get this new system built right into. Unfortunately this new Extender rev isn't being announced for the Xbox 360 (yet), so we'll all have to wait a while longer before playing XviD and DivX movies on that thing -- without transcoding, anyway.
You can clear your wanted levels in Star Wars Outlaws by defeating the death troopers.
Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 has received a substantial visual upgrade, and we've put together a comparison that shows the improvements.
Why market something that isn't designed to be sold?
This has GP rental written all over it.
They just posted a 20+ minute video about Psychosis and how the game portrays that through Senua.
Regardless of what Microsoft is doing (retweeting Ninja Theory is about as low effort as it gets, and Dashboard Dynamic Themes should've come months ago), Ninja Theory themselves are at least trying.
It's sad though. That new video was a really good behind-the-scenes too, and it just came at such a bad time.
How much marketing do games really need these days? People that play games know when its coming out. I really think the days of the constant tv ad etc are going the way of the Dodo. What scares me more is the lack of "previews" on big video game websites, it only got a few on April 4th and then nothing since.
Wow Tankbusta40 how out of touch with reality can you be, mate. Do you think companies are insane to spend millions on having giant billboards for big releases and TV adverts and superbowl slots and round the clock PR and interviews? Most of the people who buy games aren't on gaming forums like these knowing the exact release dates!
This isn't being marketed because Microsoft isn't selling the product, it's a Game Pass day one and they don't throw their weight behind games like this.
Most likely. Otherwise more people would know about the game....most people don't...it'll drive some in Gamepass but that's probably going to be it.
It appears Sony is making changes to the PSN backend in order to pave the way for future cross-platform releases across PC and PS5.
If sony want their games to be more successful on pc and to sell more they need to bring the games day-one like helldivers 2! , and not after 2 years.
If it's first party (can't speak on Helldivers) then the PS5 should be focused on first in my opinion rather than worrying about 2 versions.
Nixxes takes completed code and ports that to PC. I'm sure they do work during primary development but I like this setup.
PS5 owners are treated as first class by their platform holder, PC players get the final complete version, and GaaS are treated separately. Win-win.
Sony should follow the Microsoft route and kill Playstation the same way MS has killed Xbox? Are you serious?
First party ps5 games need to be ps5 only until 6 months imo because they need to sell consoles still and then focus on PC later.
This makes sense, just now doing it shows how behind and short-sighted regarding PC they were to begin with.
I'm already not buying a PS5 Pro or PS6 and it isn't day one, They are already damaging themselves.
Hello, HI...PC gamer here. I've wanted to play Ghost of Tushima since day one........NEVER bought a PS5, and WONT ever buy another console and GoT is coming out in a few days for PC, and its the complete version of the game. $ony withholding first party games for three years isn't making a bunch of PC people go out and buy consoles, if anything..we wait, and get the game and the DLC for the price of one.
If this comes down to DivX support on the 360 soon then I'm all for it.
all that money but they cant market stuff for sh1t :|
edit @ bladestar, dude i know your an uber fanboy but relax, i didnt say anything about your love interest, the xbox, this is software for a PC, and guess what i have a PC which WILL USE THIS, dont get your back up like an immature child, thamks for the reply by the way..... fanboys man, invading the pc section now...
oh! and if i wanted to be a fanboy i could bring up the fact that ps3 can run linux, and guess what linux support both of those codec's...... woooooooo....!!
edit 2: dude come on your one of the biggest fan boys for xbox on this site... and whats with "No one is talking about linux or windows... here"
oh, whats that headline say.... "Microsoft debuts Extenders for Windows", your totally right, no ones talking about windows.... noob...
who thinks of such innovative names?
Well if Media Center will support those codec's I supposed 360 support shouldn't be too far behind.
<Crosses fingers>
There is rumor of the Fall Update coming with Divx And Xvid support. So this might be the first step of this being a reality
