Microsoft has been pretty quiet about Crackdown 3 and what we have seen is more Terry Crews than actual gameplay. Steve C talks about why this might be.
Tencent is set to buy Sumo Group in a deal worth $1.27bn (£919m), the companies have announced.
Tencent is really buying up everything. I'm surprised everyone is selling to them like this.
I honestly thought ms or Sony would have nabbed them, seeing as they have worked for both on their respective ips, colour me surprised.
Microsoft recently released their Xbox Cloud Gaming PC Beta which allows users the opportunity to stream Xbox games to their Windows 10 PCs or laptops. This follows on from being able to use the cloud gaming on mobile devices which works very well but is limited to the size of your screen. Having the option to play Xbox games with a larger display has its obvious benefits.
CG writes: Nvidia’s claims that the RTX 3090 can render games in 8K at 60 FPS, ring true for us in this video. We put the game Crackdown 3 through its paces with some interesting results.
It's good it's possible but who would pick this over 4K60 on ultra? It would look far better
Let's be honest here, even with extra high settings at 8k 120fps... it'll still look like crap. Sorry.
They did a blowout about it at X018...
Is it because of
A. They want you to forget all the tech hype they previously showed of detailed buildings being destroyed, with supposedly, the effortless power of the cloud. Shining a light on the massive downgrade would be beyond the controversy of puddles and hurt their 1st party image.
B. They don't want to promote the single player of the game as that does not sell xbl subscriptions. They're pushing multiplayer as that pushes Gaas revenue.
C. They don't want you to see the game as that might hurt preorders and game pass subscriptions from gamers hoping it's a AAA blockbuster. Using Terry, although a funny celebrity, hides the fact that gamers like to see gameplay before buying.
D. All of the above
They want us to forget this game existence
It is the Christmas season. Trying to market a February game in December doesn't really make sense. People are only interested in products they can buy now and put under the tree.
I guess what you consider quiet and what I consider quiet are 2 totally different things. I mean we saw new trailers or teasers at E3, Gamescom, XO18, and the VGA's just this year. What more are you looking for? You want them to invite press to their headquarters to play it, and if they come out impressed you can call them paid impressions/reviews? You want them to run a full Game Informer cover? What exactly more are you looking for?
