Today my sister saw me playing the Wii and thought it looked
interesting and asked if she could play Wii Sports. First I made her a
Mii and showed her the other ones I had. She enjoyed it. My sisters
friends came over and all of them made Miis and played Wii Sports.
First they played boxing and injoyed that. After they played tennis and
really liked it. They liked bowling even more and they even played
baseball. They've been playing for two or three hours now. I guess that
Nintendos plan is working.
The review embargo for Hellblade 2 appears to lift on the same date as the launch of the game, just an hour before it's available.
That's not a good sign.
Review codes have been sent out as of 8 hours ago (according to Tom Henderson on X) so at least they aren't withholding those... But you'd think with confidence they'd want positive reviews to get buzz going online the weekend before release.
... But if they're expecting mid reviews, yeah sure lift that embargo when most people are asleep.
Zero marketing and embargo lifts when the game launches?
No confidence from team Xbox.
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?
