I'm really like the transparency with the devs.

Teflon021361d ago

Noice, good to know so no confusion and worry for the release

Hello, and welcome to the internet. As a free courtesy, I am here to guide you with a quintessentially vital truth about the internet.

In regards to [INTERNET CONFUSION], despite having all the evidence readily available at their fingertips, people will get extremely upset, confused, type in all caps, and downvote anyone that presents evidence to them.

Recent incidents of this include, but are not limited to, [MASKS; VACCINES; ELECTIONS; KNEELING DURING A GOVERNMENT SONG; FACEBOOK BEING DOWN; FACEBOOK BEING UP; TWITTER]

Thank you and have a nice stay.

aaronaton1361d ago

Kneeling during a 'government song'? I've never national anthems being described as that before, governments are terms, national anthems are the history of the country.

@aaronaton

Thanks for the example.

“Xbox Gameplay RecordingAn issue we spotted late on with the Open Beta is the inability to use the DVR functionality to record and share gameplay clips.”

If there’s one thing I hate about Xbox is their DVR function. Especially compared to PS5.

You can only record short videos in 4K and every time you watch a recording the TV flicks back and forth between HDR and SDR because the dashboard is still in SDR. I stopped using it because it’s awful and the dashboard needs to be HDR already.

--Onilink--1361d ago

You can change the duration and resolution of the clips in the settings

Jin_Sakai1361d ago

“You can change the duration and resolution of the clips in the settings”

A maximum of 30 seconds for a 4K HDR clip is ridiculous.

Teflon021361d ago

That's actually pretty bad.

But I think the beta may block internal recording in general. When I open the beta just to see what it says, it says recording paused

But I've definitely never understood why MS hasn't made recording better from Xbox One times. Even more now. Though I didn't know about that SDR/HDR issue. That's some BS. Reminds me of it switching res etc on PS3 which I hated so much, instead of the console just naturally scaling the games all to 1080p, it ran the native res or the devs upscaled the res to 720 in most cases. Instead of 1080p. My old TV would always adjust the colour to the screen after the res change and it would always be black. SO I'd have to go in and turn down the brightness every time I started something. So glad it ain't 2010 with that TV anymore. Never buy SOYO lmao

porkChop1361d ago (Edited 1361d ago )

I believe if you plug in a USB stick or external drive you can record up to an hour. You just press the guide button, flip to the capture page and press "start recording".

I do agree though that the capture function needs updating. New features, more options, better image quality, etc.

Sayai jin1361d ago

Not for me. I am in the alpha skip ahead Xbox preview. The update is coming. Yes, that was very frustrating the 1 to 5 seconds flickering from black screen. Don't know why they launched it witbput a 4k dashboard IMO.

I assume this is the July 30th build Tom Henderson was saying if they say a few months.

theHunter Call of the Wild is the best hunting game ever made. I understand it may not be everyone's cup of tea, it can be really slow going. But the environments (they look phenomenal, especially for a 2017 game!), the satisfaction of finally landing a Gold or a Diamond keep you coming back for more. I have over 600 hours in it, my dad in his 70's has around 1,500 in it! The only game he plays, even bought a PS4 Pro for it back in 2019 lol We get on almost every week to catch up bc we live about 4,000 miles apart overseas. New Snowy Canadian map is coming out this next Tuesday. I highly recommend this one! 👍

**I'm really happy to see Eiyuden Chronicles on here. I was about to buy that one after replaying the Suikoden Remasters recently!

jznrpg16d ago

How’s the ballistics in the game? If it’s done well I may check it out.

OtterX16d ago

they've gotten better with some updates throughout the years, but I wouldn't say they are perfect. But they're good enough that it's still a lot of fun. If you hang around their discord a while, you'll see quite a number of avid real life hunters who are pleased enough.

andy8517d ago

Yeesh. Pretty awful tbh and the PS premium support is shocking

repsahj16d ago

They should combine the premium and extra subscriptions and use the extra pricing for it.

OtterX16d ago (Edited 16d ago )

Yea, that was my biggest complaint. If it weren't for my Portal, I would have cancelled my Premium. But it looks like they've leaned in on the streaming aspect as a selling point of Premium now, instead of the Classics. :\ I do like the streaming on Portal!

Npugz717d ago

Ps plus extra has been garbage this year

KwietStorm_BLM17d ago

Firebreak has been surprisingly fun. Can't wait for the full game. And Deus Ex!

Will be giving dues ex a crack
