  1. Yikes. Xbox Series X/S pre-orders are a disaster as well. ? 

    For different reasons than Playstation I think.

    I was never planning to pre-order, I'll hope there's still one available in November and buy it. Or I'll just wait until they restock.

  2. Temuera Morrison officially confirmed be returning as Boba Fett in The Mandalorian Season 2!!

    Possible Captain Rex too, but that has not been confirmed.

  3. I added an Xbox Series X to Minecraft Bedrock.

    It's not an entity, as it would have had to be in previous versions. It's an actual block, with it's own model, hitbox, and collision.

    You shift-click to put it on it's side.

    The model isn't all that detailed, but I'm happy with it.

    I am loving all this new block functionality they've added. I could've kinda made this before, but it would've needed the script engine. 

    This block is done all from a json file.

    I was quite surprised that they added the ability to add your own block properties in the first update with this.

     

     

     

  4. At last...

    They've finally added custom block models to Bedrock. Actually, what they called a 'first pass' at a new data driven block system.

    Its a start.

    This update also adds the capability to have a custom crafting block, currently limited to the 3x3 crafting grid.

    And s whole bunch of other new add on features I dont understand without reading more.

      I'm hoping that they basically give addons and datapacks all the capabilities of mods, just with the ability to work as server-specific resourcepacks so you don't need both a client- and server-side mod for it to work in multiplayer.

      Java already has Forge, so I doubt that datapacks will ever get to the point behavior pack are. There's just no need for that.

      But on Bedrock resource/behavior packs are what modding is for Bedrock. As well as the scripting API.

  5. I kinda feel bad for the people who tried to pre-order a PS5.

    If I understand correctly, people were getting emails promising that they would get a PS5, when in reality they would not.

    That must really suck. Especially since it was already known that PS5 supply would be quite limited, so the only way you were going to purchase on day one is to pre order.

    After Xbox Series X/S were revealed, it seem Sony rushed to match the price(reportedly PS5 was originally higher), and one-up them by having pre-orders first. 

    Sony's haste to 'beat' Xbox caused them to cut corners and the result was million of players had their hope of having a PS5 this holiday ripped away.

      I just think all this competition is kinda stupid. I mean, yeah, they're two different brands trying to sell the same kind of thing, so obviously there's going to be competition if either of them want money, but I feel like if it's this over-the-top something's eventually bound to go horribly wrong.

      And now that cross-play is a thing, it hardly matters what device you have.

  6. Ps5 price will apparently be revealed this Wednesday, the 16'th.

    Supposedly, after the Xbox price reveal they changed the ps5 price since it was 'considerably higher'.

    It would be hilarious if they priced Ps5 at $498.99

      Cryptic Runner

      why did they not reveal the consoles with their prices? quite stupid tbh

    2. Spontaneous Explosions

      Spontaneous Explosions

      I think they were each waiting for the other company to reveal price first.

  7. I'm definitely planning to pick up an Xbox Series X this November now that they officially revealed the $499 price.

  8. Last night the Xbox Series S design was leaked with a $299 price tag. Today Xbox has confirmed this.

    In the same leak, the Xbox Series X price was revealed to be $499, although Xbox did not confirm this one. 

    I think its fair to assume it will be $499.

    I hope so anyway.

  9. Season 2 of The Mandalorian begins October 30'th!!

    Still no trailer yet, but I suspect very soon.(Supposedly the trailer gives our first look at Ahsoka in live action)

      I hope not, I hate when trailers spoil that stuff.

    2. Draco63
  10. It's supposedly been confirmed Ahsoka will be weilding at least one lightsaber, with a blue blade. Maybe they'll use this show to explain how Anakins lightsaber got off Cloud City. Maybe the blue lightsaber Ahsoka has is Anakins...hmmmm

     

     

  11. Okay, 2020 really needs to chill.

    We get a monster hurricane, and now Chadwick Boseman(Black Panther actor)has died of cancer!

    This just sucks...

    Enough already.

      Wha-WHAT!!? MY FAVORITE MARVEL CHARACTER DIES FOR REAL AND NOT MOVIE SENSE!? NOOOOOOOOOO

      Draco63

      I swear, the world is getting worse by the minute.

  12. In other 2020 news, it turns out Star Wars really happened, and after Rey killed him, it looks like Emperor Palpatine has returned again and has begun a hostile take over if our galaxy.

    1. Draco63

      Draco63

      Considering the state of the world right now, I wouldn't be surprised to find that this is 100% true.

  13. Apparently Call of Duty Cold War will have President Reagan in it.

    They also announced Call of Duty: War of Words. Coming in 2035, it will feature President Trump.

      I dont really play COD that much but thanks for the info.

       

  14. They released a trailer for The Batman. 

    I had high hopes for this movie since it's announcement, but this trailer makes me think it really will be good.

     

    What I like most about this version is that it's separate from the other DC movies. It's grounded in reality. No aliens, time travel or super powers, just the worlds greatest detective. That and the fact that it's not an origin story for once.

     

    1. Draco63

      I had not heard of this. Looks interesting!

  15. For a long time I though The Clone Wars was some stupid kids show, I couldn't stand the though that it was actually Star Wars canon.

    Then they announced that Ahsoka would be in season 2 of The Mandalorian. I was upset, and thought it would ruin the show for me. Reluctantly, I embarked on watching the The Clones Wars show, thinking if Ahsoka is going to be in live action, I should know all I could about her. 

    Well, I can now say I'm sorry I hadn't watched it sooner. It tells a amazing story(Although I could do without some details), and adds much more depth to many characters.

    What I though would ruin an experience has only made it better. Ahsoka is one of my favorite SW characters, and her inclusion makes me more exited for the next chapter of The Mandalorian.

    Also, supposedly Season 2 trailer is dropping tomorrow...we'll see.

      There are definitely some "kid's show" episodes and elements imo, but for the most part yeah it's pretty chill

      Pretty much the entire first 2 seasons.

      season 1 and 2 is the kiddie show stuff, alot of stuff onwards though, oh gosh

  16. I've never owned or played a Playstation before, but I'm planning to get both next generation consoles at some point.

    Xbox is still my main platform. I just want to play those Spider-Man games.

    1. Draco63

      Draco63

      I don't own a console ;-;

  17. I'm kinda surprised Mojang hasn't said anything about PS5/XSX enhancements. Surely it'll be getting them.

    I imagine its the stuff I'd expect.

    Greater render distance and simulation distance

    Improved performance, hopefully. Bedrock on XB1 performs like crap.

    And ray tracing, obviously.

    Basically what you get with a high end PC.

    They'll probably say something about it at Minecon Live, whenever that is.(It is happening this year they confirmed)

    1. Ratchet55

      Ratchet55

      PS5 and Series X will say something around 2021 

       

      The gameplay will be much better fast paced than PS4 and Xbox One 

       

      Ray tracing? I'm sure it will work but yet that could be hard because MC is one big world 

       

      Minecraft Server will be larger than what PS4 and Xbox one could do such as gameplay will be major change for server

    2. Spontaneous Explosions

      Spontaneous Explosions

      I say ray tracing because thats something that is on Bedrock pc, on capable machines. Both next generation consoles support ray tracing so it will most likely come to that.

  18. The delayed Halo Infinite to 2021.

    Ah well. Thats good. The devs foresaw they would not complete the game in time and up to expectations, so they made the smart choice to delay it rather than ship an incomplete game. 

    Craig approves.

    1. SocialMediaAnimations

      SocialMediaAnimations

      Yeah, if it is for the better of the game, there is no problem on it.

  19. Lol.

    People think this whole thing is "Trump vs TikTok".

    Well, India banned it already. Australia was looking to ban it, although didn't, and many other countries want to ban it.

    Also, apparently TikTok isn't even available in China. And it's a Chinese company. Even they don't want it.

      What do you mean? TickTok is available in china and is very popular and actually less cringy there. It's know as 抖音 (dou yin) in china.

      I honestly don't know why countries hate it so much. I mean, It's cringy but... Why ban it? It's not doing any harm.

    3. insanehelix7076

      insanehelix7076

      .-. Wait now im confused is it banned or not banned

    4. Draco63

      Draco63

      I barely know anything about tiktok, so I can't really add anything to this.

  20. So far, they've released 2 Halo Infinite soundtracks, and they are fantastic.

    The music of this new Halo gives me high hopes for the game.

    They've said for years Infinite will be reminiscent of the original Halo, and if the music nailed that, then maybe, just maybe 343 has finally created a great hslo experience.

  21. This is truly humanities greatest accomplishment  ?

      Ok, gotta agree with you there.

  22. He has spoken.

     

    Gabe Newell said he would go with Xbox Series X over PS5.

    Guess that settles that argument.

  23. Well 343 Industries, you did it.

    After the disappointments of Halo 4, and especially 5, you're finally heading in the right direction.

    The overall look of the game, very much like CE and Halo 2. 

    And the music. Yes. I liked the music of Halo 4, but nothing compared to the classic Halo sound. 

    The grapple is amazing too.

    I give Halo 4, 4/10. Halo 5 gets 1/10.

    Infinite: 6/10.

    1. Cryptic Runner

      Cryptic Runner

      they revealed gameplay??

    2. SocialMediaAnimations

      SocialMediaAnimations

      yeah, in the xbox series x presentation, and gotta say, its looks very nice, not like halo 3, but is clearly better than halo 5 and 4

  24. Apparently ps5 wont really be capable of consistent 128fps like XSX, according to some developers. But ps5 will have better graphics capabilities I think.

    Here's the thing. Current gen graphics are near photo realistic already. If we can have current generation graphics quality at 128fps, that's a billion times better than better graphics. 

    Or you can a beast pc and have the best of both worlds, but consoles are considerably more affordable.

    Ima get a Xbox Series X,and A ps5(I wanna play the Spiderman games).

    Also, excited for Halo Infinite gameplay tomorrow. Even though Halo 4 and 5 were...sub par, I have high hopes for this one.

  25. Just realized today is 51 years since one of humanity's greatest achievements occurred. 51 years ago today a man walked on the Moon for the time.

    If all goes well we'll be seeing it again in 2024.

      Hands-down, sending garlic bread to the edge of space is truly humanity's greatest achievement.

      Draco63

      I can't wait to see them land on mars. It will certainly make up for the fact that I'm not old enough to have seen the moon landing as it happened. (And if we're lucky, they'll send some garlic bread up there too ;))
