Our friend Mike Futter makes his debut on the show to talk about how video game marketing has evolved over time and the biggest flubs in history!
Digital Foundry : Doom: The Dark Ages is now receiving its path tracing upgrade on PC, so Alex and John tested it versus the standard RT graphics - and found some surprises.
The PC version is still on schedule but the console versions have been delayed.
There are many exciting updates this month for Xbox. Copilot for Gaming is available now for early preview on mobile and will be coming to PC soon. Xbox PC app introduces a wave of new updates: Aggregated gaming library gives players quick access to games from Xbox, Game Pass, and other leading PC storefronts, and with publisher channels players can browse their favorite franchises. Updates for the Xbox Console includes customization for Most Recently Used, free-to-play benefits, Game Hubs, and dialog improvements for game saves.
"Players can now hide system apps, pin favorites to the list, and reduce the number of tiles displayed. This update is part of our ongoing effort to make Home more personal, flexible, and responsive to feedback."
This is welcomed, i like a less cluttered home screen.
I remember Mike from gameinformer.
They messed up their website a while back and redesigned everything. I used to watch the super replays, they were hilarious. Overblood and Deception were awesome.
The PC classic would only take off if it can license games that GOG has not.
