can't wait to play Hollow Knight on Game Pass tonight. glad I didn't pull the trigger and buy it on Switch as I almost did last week!

that was the highlight for me? pretty good conference overall though. next console sounds exciting but I really wanted some Halo Infinite gameplay. guess they gotta save that for E3 2020

it was a fun conference because it had some good ha ha what moments like Keanu and Terminator in Gears, but it was also kind of a let down because it was mostly about games we already knew existed and the new reveals didnt excite me too much.

I mean Elden Ring will probably be cool and good, but also... what is it? I cant get too hyped about something thats so undefined.

The conference was very solid insofar as it was all about the games, which MS has been really good about lately. It feels like a let down in some ways because there aren't too many hype games upcoming, but we're in the last year of the generation and there's really very little left that people can talk about. In that sense it was pretty amazing that there was as much on display here as there was IMO.

This doesn't translate so well with barely any of these games having any actual gameplay. Even games that are almost out like Gears. I would honestly be very interested in someone totalling the number of minutes of a game actually being shown in action on stage, excluding indes. Less than 10?

...less than 5?? I actually can't thank of any they showed at all, excluding new content for already released games.

Apparently the whole nonsense with Miyamoto was because the people who leaked it saw Keanu and thought it was him. Which inadvertently kept that from being leaked.

Amazing.

so you can upgrade your Xbox Live Gold to Ultimate right now for $1 and it gives you one month + changes all the time you had left on your Gold subscription to Ultimate

and I had just added a new year of Gold in April, so I got like 11 months of Game Pass for $1

thats super cool

I got 2 years of GamePass and a year of Gold for free from that GamesWithGrunts thing awhile ago, and now I have Xbox Live Ultimate for 3 years.

So tight.

wait WHAT

It converts your membership into Xbox Game Pass Ultimate? I have Game Pass until the end of July right now and Gold until the end of February 2020. You're telling me if I get this I'll suddenly have Game Pass until the end of February 2020 (or March 2020 I guess if it adds another month)?

It explicitly says it when you go to sign up for the $1 Ultimate deal so I think it has to be on purpose. They specify that its a maximum of three years.

if you have 3 year of gold OR game pass and you use the ultimate upgrade right now, it will basically give you 3 years of the opposite for free

Only works when you use the $1 for ultimate game pass for the first time. Whatever u have on current subs xbl + gamepass is converted to ultimate gamepass. Anything added to your account after converting (say a year of Xbox live) will be prorated into your ultimate gamepass sub. Caps at 3 years. So 14 months of Xbox live left plus 11 months of gamepass left. Add the $1 ultimate gamepass. 14+11+1= 26 months of ultimate gamepass.

Yep, I just saw that.

Okay, gonna go ahead and buy another year of Gold first so I'll have Ultimate up until March 2021! This is too dope. I get that they want to hook people in with a subscription but I have no idea how Microsoft ever plans to make money doing these kind of ridiculous deals.

You would have it until end of May 2020. 2 months gamepass + 8 months live + 1 month ultimate gamepass = 11 months ultimate game pass.

May 2020.

Add 2 years of Xbox live PRIOR TO BUYING $1 ULTIMATE GAMEPASS and cap it out at 3 years at June 2022 for best deal.

Alright added 1 more year of Gold...considering adding another one but just unsure at this point if I'll be getting the next Xbox console or a PS5 or both, so you know. But damn is it tempting to pull the trigger on another $60 and have Game Pass until midway through 2022.

edit: I haven't gotten Ultimate yet so the conversion is still possible. thanks for the protips though!

I think they just really want to lure people into the Xbox ecosystem right now. And I guess if youre already a member of their service when holiday 2020 rolls around that makes Scarlet a more compelling option.

You can get 12 months of live for less than $60. Look around. Plus always take the free month to put auto renew on.

Well, even if someone chooses not to go to Scarlett, they still have the PC Gamepass too. So, it's not entirely wasted. (Assuming not staying back a gen on Xbox one)

Yeah I got my last one for like $40 with a code from some site online. Some site shady enough to be flagged by my bank. This one I just forked over the $60 + tax since I knew it was going to be converted into Ultimate.

Dunno anything about Game Pass, but it's interesting that their new console hype lingo focused much more on load times and framerate than on visuals. I wonder if that'll be the common marketing tactic as visual fidelity becomes harder and harder to notice.

It's great that this console will put more focus on load times and framerate because we've seen all too often that most developers were prioritizing resolution over framerate with console games. Many console games were often limited to 30 FPS, unlike PC games that usually ran at 60 FPS or even higher.

When it comes to resolution, we're at the law of diminishing returns at this point. Even though 8K will be supported for the next console, the jump from 4K to 8K is far smaller than the jump from 1080p to 4K.

I hear ya. I usually pay $35 a year or get free through Microsoft reward points. But, everyone is buying out all the Xbox live to the point the best deal I can find it eBay for $45 a year or cdkeys for $48.50 a year.

Souls but with LOTR style story from GRRM

If it's very different from a Souls like (even as different as Sekiro) then I would be surprised

Yeah, I was legit in the process of getting a $38 12 month Xbox Gold deal through...another one of those shady sites. (I blame you Corrik for enticing me! :P) It was going to be a Brazil code where I would use a VPN (connecting to Microsoft's site from a Brazil server) and put the code in online. Was all set to go with relative confidence the site was legit aaaaand then it sold out. Oh well!

But now I have Game Pass Ultimate until May 2021 and I'm good with that. I don't need a whole 'nother year on top. This way I won't feel super pressured to get an Xbox Scarlett over a PS5 to boot.

Sony always wins even when they don't show up


They certainly didn't win last year.

I think Sony's absence is wise though given that they would have very little. Like if people were disappointed by THIS, you wouldn't see more at Sony.

I feel like Sony's core titles are stronger, at least they appeal more to me than Halo and Gears


You are absolutely right on core titles but Sony also only have 3 left this generation and they've all been shown a lot. They just don't have the stuff, they are paying the debt they built up by making a lot of very early hype announcements in the first half of the generation. Microsoft have enough coming they haven't shown before, and enough third party deals, to put on a decent show despite a weaker first party lineup.

Though I will say, the first half was terrific but when it got to Gears it declined a lit. And frankly, the Gears showing was terrible. What was that? They showed no single player beyond a CG trailer of the lead's face, a teaser of a multiplayer mode with no actual gameplay, then an awful-looking Terminator tie-in. It was a weak, overly long showing for their biggest game this year and I don't think the conference quite recovered after that.
