Microsoft recently revealed its plans to incorporate Copilot directly into video games, with Minecraft being the first showcased example.
F*** AI
"Hey Copilot, what's a good meme to prove I dislike AI".... https://giphy.com/clips/sou...
Two trillion dollar company that just can't wait to put as many people possible out of work as fast as possible.
It feels like every single thing they do is making gaming worse and destroying the industry.
Why all the hate? Im actually excited about this! Always wanted this kind of immersion, and an AI companion with me all the time helping me out knowing the status of my skills/inventory/progress and giving me tips on the best approach or how to craft something specific is game changing for the industry.
Hate all you want about AI, but this is just the start and I can see the potential already. You wont be complaining in the next 5-10 years about this, but rather complain if a game hasn’t implemented it.
The Microsoft Store has hinted at the upcoming release of Minecraft: Bedrock Edition on Valve's digital distribution platform, Steam.
1 major advantage to this will be launching it straight from SteamVR. You have to make a custom shortcut to get it working right now in VR.
This is good news. It will be much easier to get it installed on my devices without using workarounds.
The Minecraft 1.21 Tricky Trials update's combat and technical aspects make it a fitting choice to bring in one missing crafting recipe.
Stick of Truth is a great game, it deserves to be topping the software sales.
For anyone interested, NPD February is releasing today at 6PM EST.
still don't understand how VGChartz can keep getting posted... they've been proven wrong on so many occasions i'd probably be able to get better estimates then they are.
still nice to see South Park is doing well (even if i thing VG is wrong), hopefully this means a sequel will come along somewhere down the line and uncensored in europe
Nice numbers for XB1 and PS4. Kind of surprising XB1 lead in U.s software sales for the week ending 3/8 as it is before the release of Titanfall.
These ps4 numbers are strange. It still appears to be mostly sold out and yet the numbers keep falling. The same is happening in Europe. Either these numbers are way off or Sony has some serious supply issues going on.
