How long before Bioware joins other EA studios in the long night?

You’ve been able to reacquire shaders for two years, since Forsaken introduced Collections. Have you really not played in two years? That’s not snark, I’m genuinely curious! You’ve missed SO MUCH, almost all of which has now been vaulted...curious to hear what a very lapsed player thinks of...everything.

Every time I see an article like this it just reminds me, as is even pointed out in the body of the article itself, that almost no one has a properly calibrated monitor or TV.

Phil Spencer, the guy who was all-in on letting Smash Bros. include Banjo Kazooie? The guy who greenlit Minecraft on non-Xbox consoles, and included the Nintendo Switch in the “Better Together” update (allows crossplay between Xbox/PC/Switch)? The one who went on an Animal Crossing talk show, who said he’d be open to

Microsoft hasn’t engaged in them heavily since Phil took over as Xbox head. And you do know his personal feelings, they’re in the article above.

Phil has never really liked exclusives or pushed for brand loyalty though.

In fact, you could call this Legion 2.0

It’s the next evolution of Frozen Synapse, and I like it.

And none of those is even remotely similar to what goes on in that clip.

his reaction to being in space is a little odd considering we’ve been to the moon, Venus, Mars, Mercury, Titan, Nessus, Io, Europa, the asteroid belt, a giant spaceship or two, etc.

My wife got me the Elite 2 for Christmas last year, and every since I started using it, other controllers feel like cheap garbage in comparison... with one exception. The new Series X controller feels about as premium as can be for a standard controller. The textures and slightly more compact size go a much longer way

This is a good question. I guess only time will tell. Right now, the controller feels pretty durable. My X and square buttons on EVERY dualshock controller have pretty much gone to mush, and the left thumbstick always becomes very unresponsive. Curious to see if this will be the DualSense’s fate, or if it will it be

This really does sound like a cool idea but I’m concerned about durability? Is there increased potential for failure with the DS5 because of this? I can see people squeezing the controller harder because of the increased resistance.  Will this make the triggers go mushy earlier (like the rumble triggers on XB1)?

Always happy to get remastered versions of games I love (though how happy might depend on the price point, as I still own all the originals). Won’t lie, though: I was hoping for more of a ‘remake’, at least as far as the first game is concerned, as I would have loved for BioWare to tweak its actual gameplay to be more

So weird! For what it's worth, I only checked a few games so maybe some of them do have the data but I just didn't see it. Either way, thanks for pointing me to check the times in the GOG app, because I noticed a few platforms that provide rounded data are actually providing more granular data in Galaxy 2.0 so that's

Probably true, but the pixel refresh rate on LG’s OLEDs is incredible. Check out the slow-mo footage in this video for example. (The point of this video is comparing it to computer monitors. There’s different competition in the TV space.)

Why exactly would it make you want to check the game out less?
