Don't you mean Crossbocross? And don't forget the more powerful Crossbocross One Cross

PhoenixUp1679d ago

Listen to the makers of the Crossbox. They know what they’re talking about

bluebenjamin1679d ago

Well I always thought it was called the action button

badz1491679d ago

in Japan it's not. the circle is action button

Immagaiden1679d ago

Why is this even a debate? Anytime a game has a verbal tutorial on a PlayStation game, they always say the “X” button, never the cross button. Is Sony really trying to say all those audio tutorials were actually using the wrong terminology?

rainslacker1679d ago

Sony calls it a cross. They have since they first talked about it with the first controller. I believe they even discussed it in interviews following the reveal of the PS1.

Sony doesn't care as much what others call it. They aren't saying that those tutorials are wrong, they just don't really care. As a dev, if I called Sony up and needed to discuss something about the buttons, and called it the X button, they wouldn't correct me, because they know what I'm talking about, and they know at that time I wouldn't really care the symantics of the button and discussing it would just frustrate me.

If some Sony rep corrected someone on it at some point publicly to incite this whole thing....which is what I assume happened because it's a silly debate, and I think it was always meant to be a silly debate....or at least hope...then people took it way too seriously if it's really that big of a deal.

Zeref1679d ago

Because it technically is a cross. They're all shapes. Why would only the X be a letter?

ChristopherJack1679d ago

I've never seen a game which says press X, I've seen several that say press ✕, a cross symbol, the PlayStation controller icon.

P_Bomb1679d ago

NHL19. Training camp. EA paid the VO who literally calls it X with a big X on the screen. I could go on.

These seems like one of the best options for use with a PS5, high quality sound and design. However, you will likely need a dongle for use with many of your bluetooth devices such as an iPhone as it requires a LE signal.

The only purpose I could see me buying them is that they would be more comfortable to wear with PSVR2 compared to their Pulse/Pulse Elite over the head/over the ear cup headphones.

Their newer giga cart tech should make for even bigger games coming to the platform. I'm hoping for a Resident Evil collection with the first 3 games.

With Larian Out Of The Picture, Will The Baldur's Gate IP Be In Safe Hands?

Huzaifah from eXputer: "With Larian Studios washing their hands of the IP, what is the ultimate fate of the legendary Baldur's Gate series?"

RaidenBlack1d 2h ago

If anybody's gonna mention BioWare, then look at Archetype Entertainment, they're the new BioWare
or else
Obsidian is still a good choice but not independent anymore.

anast1d 2h ago (Edited 1d 2h ago )

No, WoTC is pivoting to mobile. They can use Larian's work to justify DnD Go and everyone will accept it.

RiseNShine1d 2h ago

Short answer, nope. Long answer, f*ck nope.

robtion8h ago

Correct answer. Most people don't realise that the companies that are still making good games using common sense and a customer focus are generally not American. They are from Poland, Belgium, Japan, or other countries that have not yet become completely corrupted by 'extreme capitalism'.

Before you down vote me into oblivion I am not anti-american. I just don't like greed and corruption which unfortunately seems to correlate with power.

I would guess the next Baldurs gate will probably be filled with GaaS.

Honestly, we're talking completely new engine and none of Larian's built-in stuff with regard to environments and the like that they had from their past divinity game. No one is going to have that just ready to go. So, they need to shop for a dev studio that has a past game that shows what they want.

Obsidian doesn't have that, maybe the closest being Dungeon Siege 3 or Pillars of Eternity, but those are very basic, not as open, very little environment related and altering capabilities. So, we're talking a step way back on what Larian delivered. Zero scene experience to line up with what was done in BG3. Okay conversation tree designs, but still needs more complexity.

inXile has Wasteland 3 as a base model engine, and I think that's better than Pillars of Eternity from Obsidian. But, still needs to be more open world, more environmental effects, and a much heavier rules set adaptation. But, not a bad overall engine as a base, but still a ton of work. Zero scene experience to line up with what was done in BG3. Needs a ton of work on that entirely.

Tactical Adventure did the Solasta game. Really good and more accurate as far as 5e rules than BG3. But, again, if the expectation is similar to what made BG3 a big hit, engine isn't designed for moving the camera, is a bit outdated in graphics, doesn't have in-game scene elements, and needs much better writers/voice actors.

Owlcat of pathfinder games is another choice, even though they've recently moved on to WH40k licensed games. Again, though, the engine is the biggest issue here to match up, but it's a much better option overall than Tactical Adventure. Another question is writers/story telling, as much of their overall story telling bits are very limited with a lot of random worldbuilding elements that are just +\- of some attributes.

TBH, no matter who takes over, it's just not going to be like BG3 much like how BG3 isn't at all like BG1/2. And BG3 was so successful because of how much Larian was able to put in with their engine and how focused they were on players having ridiculous control over the story being told. I just don't see the next BG being the same and depending on what it is, it might be good but I'm not as big of a reach as BG3. It's way more likely players are going to go into BG4 (or its spiritual successor if it moves away from Baldur's Gate and into Neverwinter or something like Plansescape) expecting much of what is in BG3 with more options, new and older characters, and the same level of control over what they're doing. If it doesn't have that, regardless of who makes it, it won't be as successful, IMHO.

Yes, I completely concur.

As good and talented as inXile and Obsidian are in their own specific way of making their particular games, none of them have Larian's attention to detail, dynamic worlds, and reactivity, so even if they end up making a new Baldur's Gate, it's going to be a significant step-down in terms of gameplay if not narrative.

Probably not, but maybe… just maybe…
