Either way its a pretty limp offering for me; i have borderlands 2 with most of the dlc on pc already and the others don't interest me in the slightest.

I can't remember if I own Borderlands 2 digitally but other than that it looks a decent month.

So Xbox updated so I have Beam now as part of UI. Very VERY easy to start streaming, literally 2 presses. You don't have to register or mess about just start it off, you can have chat on and choose where you see it. It automatically creates an account in the background using your gamertag.

Go to beam website and use Xbox live details and go to settings to turn on 'retain VODS' (video on demand) to see last thing you streamed. Unfortunately you can't upload to YouTube but you can download it to PC then upload, hopefully you can do it direct but very impressive so far.

Beam has an app for android and iOS so it's handy enough.

Very happy with Borderlands 2 going up - I thoroughly enjoyed the game and will probably pick up the DLC this time around.

The BC version of the first game had the DLC included, so they might do the same again with the sequel.

Don't know if it's a mistake but the Dragon Age Origins Awakening expansion is free on 360 (and BC) at the moment.

Yup. As someone said in Game pass thread it makes games a bit more 'throwaway', if I sign up to that I'm going to be literally swimming in games by the time Scorpio arrives, since they will all work for it its not too bad, first world problems for sure but this could end up doing what EA access has done for me, in that I rarely Buy EA games, I tend to just wait for them to get to the vault.

1hr IGN interview with Phil -



Summary -

-Gamepass in the works for 2/3 years. Handfull of games will go out every month. Not much. Cant control 3rd party offcourse. But doesnt want to feel like a trial of the game

-E3 change to Sunday was because to give the news coming out of it more room to breath.

-Pre E3 Scorpio reveal. No plans set in stone yet. But difficult to put everything into the show and the show is more about games then hardware.

-System on chip of Scorpio they got back last October. Ported over Xbox One platform in November and start giving first party teams alpha versions. Scorpio will look "premium" but will be part of the "family" looks wise.

-Devs can do what they want with Scorpio graphics wise. Liked how Horizon Zero Dawn used the extra power of Pro for 1080 screens.

-VR is still a area of inovation and growth. Still thinks Windows is the right place for it atm.
Still wants to VR on console (more when then if) but first wants alot of devs have hands on with VR first and PC is better for that to find out how to make it perfect.

-No plans for a handheld really. Thinks mobiles are a good platform for that also. But never say never.

-Talks about why he says "premium" for Scorpio. Most people will still buy a S but Scorpio is for the Premium customer. People who know what a teraflop is and 4K. Calls it Premium so that people know its not gonna take over the Xbox One line.

-People have a right to voice their concern about first party woes lately. Since he took the job over he wants to "Unfair word. But rework the first party abit" and wants back to the core first. They are at this moment and gonna build from that more. Still think the first party games that are coming this year are great "PR head" he says haha.

-Learned from announcing games to soon. Depends on the game also. Sea of Thieves needed to be announced earlier because of how the game works and needed player feedback on it and will grow over time like a Minecraft game. Intrested in game like Shadow of War where they announce the game and its out couple of months later. But just depends of what kinda game it is.

-No deal with Remedy atm.

-Release date for Voodoo Vince will be announced next week.

So...

- Scorpio is niche, probably only account for a small number of overall sales like PS4 Pro

- Scorpio is still part of the XBO family, maybe a name like "Xbox One Elite"?

- Similar design to existing XBO family, I'm guessing a big bully black XBO S design

- Mixed Reality is for all XBO console's, 1080p VR on standard console, 1440p on Scorpio?

For any Irish forumites interested in expensive gamepads I just thought I'd mention that Smyths are selling the Elite controller for €120.

I have no idea why you think VR is coming to original Xbox's, and although you say similar design Phil did say it has to look different to the S and Original X1.
