The new agreement will help to create digital voice replicas
Well regarded insider, NateTheHate, has said that more Xbox games could be coming to PS5 'this holiday season' followed by Starfield in 2025.
Even if the rumor was true and if that did happen. I still wouldn't play or own a game that is classified as open world just to run into invisible force fields.
If it came to ps+ ill try it, but im certainly not spending my money on it. I wanted this game to be awesome and it just seems so incomplete
send phil, some more dev kits
we need all xbox exclusives games ported before phil shuts them down
We were often ridiculed by Xbox enthusiasts, but it’s essential to understand that Microsoft's $100 billion investment was aimed at generating profit, not merely pleasing fans with Day 1 Game Pass releases.
Microsoft should consider releasing all its games, including flagship titles like Halo and Gears of War, on PlayStation. This strategy would maximize revenue while still releasing games day one on GP, money which could then be reinvested into the future of Xbox. While a few loyal fans might be upset, this approach makes the most business sense in the long run. Even put forza on PS5 get the sales. On Xbox gamers get these games day on GP while other platforms pay full price. Win win
Digital Foundry : Bethesda's Starfield was generally a well-regarded RPG, but the game's 30fps target on consoles was the subject of some controversy. The game's massive scope arguably justified that 30fps refresh rate, with only high-end PCs capable of hitting 60fps and higher, but now Bethesda has changed course and opened the floodgates on Xbox Series X consoles following significant optimisation work. Players can now independently select performance and visuals modes at arbitrary frame-rates. How exactly do these new combinations fare, and is 60fps really a possibility after it was explicitly ruled out before?
Starfield’s latest update is here and it’s bringing several new features with it!
SAG-AFTRA helping the pushers of AI cutting out more of the workforce so more profits go to CEO's and shareholders.
"Understandably, voice actors are baffled by SAG-AFTRA's decision. Similar to when Microsoft announced its partnership with InWorld AI,
Steve Blum, who has provided his voice in everything including Diablo 4, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, The Last of Us Part 2, and more, said: "Excuse me? With all due respect…you state in the article 'approved by affected members of the union's voiceover performer community.' Nobody in our community approved this that I know of. Games are the bulk of my livelihood and have been for years. Who are you referring to?"
Deus Ex and Starfield actor Elias Toufexis responds similarly: "I would humbly consider myself one of the top voice actors working in games. No one asked me about this. No one reached out for my opinion. From what I'm seeing, no one asked any of my peers either."
Fellow Starfield actor Melissa Medína also responds to the news, calling it a "betrayal" and warning fellow actors: "Don't give your voice to this until you have clarity around where your voice will be used."
"A disappointing agreement SAG-AFTRA have made regarding AI use," Baldur's Gate 3 and Dying Light 2 actor Thomas Mitchells says. "Studios will look past creativity for convenience and this will potentially have a detrimental effect on artists."
Money, money, money

Capitalism needs to be tweaked a little. The constant hunger for profits profits profits every quarter only open the door for cutting corners and trying to find new ways to make more money. Greed will always ruin products. Even fast food companies like McDonalds started off using quality ingredients and only because of their constant hunger for profits and pleasing shareholders did they begin to use cheaper and cheaper products and materials, just to make profit. You could have the perfect product that everyone loves, but if it doesnt make MORE money for your company year over year then they have to sacrifice parts of it in order to make a profit. If they weren’t always looking to make more money they wouldn’t be doing this, capitalism expects a company to have infinite growth in a finite space, that’s called a Cancer in the biological world.
Such BS. I want real acting (good or bad) in my movies and games. Not some robot with their fake emotions. Im in full support of real working voice actors. And if it means not buying anticipated games. Then so be it.
The industry is slowly leading to its own destruction.
