* Pragmata, a Capcom game that was originally slated for 2022 has been delayed until 2023.

* The decision was announced on the Pragmata Twitter account and this is what they had to say, “Our team is hard at work on the project, but to ensure this will be an unforgettable adventure, we’ve decided to shift the release window to 2023.”

* They attached a short 30 second video showing off a CGI girl with impressive though weirdly life like facial animations, holding a sign that had written in child-like handwriting the year 2022 crossed out and the year 2023 written next to it, and under that written the word “sorry” with a sideways sad face 🙁 drawn next to that.

* The developer ended the tweet by thanking everyone for their patience.

* A game originally announced back at the PS5 reveal back in 2020, not much is known about Pragmata. What they have shown in a video, and a few screen shots are of that of a small girl, presumably an android, and a person dressed in a space suit that looks like a mix between a Nasa space suit and a helmet somewhat similar to the main character of the Dead Space series. The game looks to take place in a post apocalyptic sort of Earth. The game is a PS5 exclusive.

* John Junyszeck, community manager with 343 Industries has announced some adjustments for Halo Infinite’s multiplayer that some players had been requesting pertaining to Battle Pass progression.

* He states in the Twitter post, “To address the feedback on Battle Pass progression we will be making targeted tunings to our model later this week.”

* “…we’ll be adding “Play 1 Game” challenges to help make sure you consistently progress through the Battle Pass by playing matches the way you want.”

* “We’ll also be adjusting, fixing bugs with, and removing some Weekly Challenges based on your feedback. These tunings to challenge difficulty will help you progress through Weekly Challenges faster and thus directly speed up your progress through the Battle Pass.”

* “When we make this update, we’ll need to reset your Challenges, including your progress towards Weekly ones. To make up for this reset, we’ll be granting this week’s Ultimate Reward, the Sigil Mark VII Visor, to everyone who logs in from Nov 23 – Nov 30.”

* “Additionally, we will be doubling the duration of 2XP Boosts to now last 1 hour as opposed to 30 mins. We hope this helps people get the most out of them, especially during those longer BTB sessions.”

* “We’ll be watching these changes closely to make sure they have the positive impact we all want on your progression. This is only our first step – we are committed to continue evolving these systems but it will take time. Thanks for joining our beta, and keep the feedback coming!”

* New details and a new release date have been announced by developer and publisher Sloclap for the Playstation 4 and 5, and Windows PC through the Epic Games Store, Sifu.

Today we’ll be talking about Saints Row getting delayed, Xbox Cloud gaming is coming to Xbox Series and Xbox One consoles, the Age of Empires roadmap has been released, The Game Awards nominees have been announced, and RGG Studio’s director talked to Famitsu about Yakuza and a potential new title.

* https://saintsrow.com/news/saints-update-from-jim-boone

* Saints Row’s launch has been delayed ’til August 23rd launch.

* It was originally scheduled for a February 25th 2022 launch.

* Volition chief creative officer Jim Boone said in a blog post, “if we released on the original date, it wouldn’t be up to the standards we’ve set ourselves,” and he adds, “we’re doing some fine tuning and there won’t be much change in the game outside of overall quality and polish.”

* Boone went on to explain how Covid has effected Volition’s ability to complete the game on time, “In all honesty, we underestimated the impact COVID would have on our schedule, although everyone adapted very quickly to the working from home arrangement and continued to be incredibly productive. However, due to the size and scope of our new Saints Row, it’s become apparent that to create the best game possible, we need to give our team longer to perfect their craft.”

* And he explained how the game won’t be changed much from what we’ve seen so far, “Rest assured, there will not be any changes to the story or the characters or anything that we’ve lovingly imagined over the last few years and already shared with you.”

* Boone ends by saying this, “Over the past two years, all corners of the entertainment industry have been affected/impacted in one way or another. As gamers ourselves, we know what it feels like to have something delayed which you’ve been looking forward to; it’s frustrating and you feel disappointed. But we also know that when we finally get Saints Row in your hands, it will have been worth the wait. It’s our absolute priority to get this right.”

* https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2021/11/17/xbox-cloud-gaming-launches-on-console/

* Microsoft has announced that Xbox Cloud Gaming is now available on Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One Consoles

* “Today you can play Game Pass games from the cloud on your Xbox console. We’re excited that Xbox Cloud Gaming (Beta) is now available on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S consoles with a Game Pass Ultimate subscription. We are launching in 25 regions with Brazil coming soon. This capability will initially roll out with our November release to a subset of Xbox gamers and scale to all gamers in supported markets over the coming weeks,” Xbox Wire stated.

* One of the best features of Xbox Cloud Gaming is the ability to play Xbox Series X|S games on Xbox One. Initially this will have a limited amount of titles, but one title that is slated for this next year is Microsoft Flight Simulator. Being able to play this game on an Xbox One would just be awesome.

* The ultimate feature with Cloud gaming though is the ability to try games before you commit to downloading them.

* Another feature is getting an invite from a friend for a game you might not have but still be able to enter that game with them.

* https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2021/11/17/age-of-empires-iv-content-roadmap/

Today we’ll be talking about the modding community fixing some of the GTA Trilogy DE issues, a new Playstation remote play update, new games coming to Xbox Game Pass soon, some new information on Dying Light 2, and a reported fix of the framerate issues some are experiencing with Halo Infinite Multiplayer’s beta.

* Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – Definitive Edition on PC is apparently being fixed by the modding community.

* https://knowyourmeme.com/photos/2247942-grand-theft-auto-the-trilogy-the-definitive-edition

* The nut on Tuff Nut Donuts is basically circular, like a fat washer. It looks like the transition to the Unreal engine caused some things to have edges lessened, almost like it treated the nut on the sign like a polygonal object that needed to be upgraded with less edges.

* A modder Irastris fixed this problem at NexusMods:

* https://www.nexusmods.com/grandtheftautothetrilogy/mods/36

* Another major issue is the rain. In some cases, especially at night, seems like it’s coming down in solid white strands, and when combined causes visibilty to go to near zero in some cases.

* A mod on NexusMod by user Insanity666 fixed this.

* https://www.nexusmods.com/grandtheftautothetrilogy/mods/4

* And GTATrilogyMods on Patreon has a fix as well called RainFix

* https://www.patreon.com/GTATrilogyMods

* In addition to the RainFix, GTATrilogyMods is also working on a fix for fog.

* http://tiny.cc/8vkluz

* A new update for Playstation remote play on Android 12 enables pairing with the Dualsense controller, and adds DualShock 4 features including touchpad, motion sensor, rumble and battery indicator.

* https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2021/11/16/xbox-game-pass-news-update-november-2021/

* New Xbox Game Pass games are coming soon, including a couple of titles that have dropped for Xbox Gamepass Cloud

* Through EA Play, Dead Space and Dragon Age: Origins has been made available for Xbox GamePass Cloud.

* On November 17th Next Space Rebels will be available on Cloud, Console, and PC.

* On November 18th Exo One, Far Tactics, My Friend Pedro, and Undungeon will be available for Cloud, Console, and PC. Undungeon is an Xbox Game Pass day one release.

* On November 23rd Deeeer Simulator, and Mortal Shell will be available for Cloud, Console, and PC. Deeeer Simulator looks like a wacky game good for someone to stream and for some good laughs, at least for a little bit.

* On November 30th Evil Genius 2 will launch on Cloud, Console, and PC for GamePass.

* All of the titles mentioned with the exception of the two EA games are ID@Xbox titles.

* If you are an Xbox Insider you can test some new features implemented in the Xbox app for the PC, these include enabling mods for many games and the ability to select your game install location.

Today we’ll be talking about the 70+ new backwards compatible games on the Xbox platform, the (sorta) surprise release of Halo Infinite Multiplayer, some not so surprising news about Elder Scrolls 6, and details on the new Outriders expansion coming out today.

Show Notes:

A quick correction from yesterday:

* Yesterday I said the Playstation was celebrating one year since launch, in fact I meant the Playstation 5 was celebrating its one year anniversary, and that was on the 12th of this month.

* One of the most important pieces of information I forgot to talk about yesterday about GTA: Trilogy DE was the fact that a bunch of unlicensed music and game files were left in the game at launch and this caused Rockstar to pull the whole Rockstar Launcher initially, then make it available again but without GTA: The Trilogy DE. There were gamers that had already paid for the game, and for a few days they couldn’t play it while Rockstar removed those files. It was made available again on the launcher after all was said and done, but the damage had already been done.

 

* https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2021/11/15/70-new-backward-compatible-games/

* Xbox releases 70 more backward compatible games for the Xbox

* This will be the final addition to the backwards compatible library.

* Today, we’re excited to add 70+ Xbox 360 and original Xbox games to our backward compatibility catalog in celebration of our 20th anniversary. This includes many of your top requested favorites including:

* The entire Max Payne series and the F.E.A.R. franchise are now playable on Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One consoles for the very first time.

* The entire Skate franchise is now complete with the addition of Skate 2 and playable on both Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One consoles.

* We also heard the desire for more original Xbox titles to be added to the catalog. We are pleased to announce we were able to bring more than 20+ original Xbox titles to an entire new generation of gamers, including Dead or Alive Ultimate, Star Wars: Jedi Knight II, Star Wars: Starfighter, and Otogi franchises.

* You can play these games today if you own them on disc or digitally, and the vast majority can be purchased digitally by new players in the Microsoft Store starting later today.

* Backward Compatible Games play best on Xbox Series X and Series S

* A core tenet since the very beginning of the backward compatibility program has been to not only preserve the games you know and love, but also to enhance them using the latest technology so they look and play better than ever before while still staying true to the original creator’s vision. With Xbox Series X|S, we introduced innovations and improvements such as FPS Boost, Auto HDR, and faster loading times, which breathed new life into classic titles.

* Every backward compatible title added today will experience improved visual quality with Auto HDR on supported displays, which automatically adds HDR enhancements on Xbox Series X|S.

* Original Xbox games will experience a resolution increase on all Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One consoles on supported displays.

* 4x resolution increase on Xbox Series X and Xbox One X

* 3x resolution increase on Xbox Series S

* 2x resolution increase on Xbox One S and Xbox One

* Players will experience even smoother gameplay on 11 titles added today via FPS Boost, which doubles the original framerate up to 60 FPS,

Today we’ll be talking about how Grand Theft Auto might be James Bond, you might be playing Halo Infinite’s multiplayer today, or you might not, how Grand Theft Auto – The Trilogy: Definitive Edition is taking it in the teeth right now, Playstation 5’s top ten played games, and the Pokemon Company’s thoughts on dealing with a growing fan base for the series.

* https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/take-twos-ceo-says-the-gta-series-can-last-as-long-as-james-bond/

* VGC’s Tom Ivan reports on Strauss Zelnick, Take Two’s CEO, speaking of the endurance of the Grand Theft Auto, Red Dead Redemption, Civilization, NBA2k, and BioShock Franchises.

* He equated them to the James Bond film, and how rarely the Bond films come around.

* “If it’s really, really great it will keep going,” he responded (transcribed by VGC). “I don’t know if you saw it, I just saw the new Bond film, that was great. And you would like every franchise to be James Bond.

* “There are precious few entertainment franchises of any sort that fall into that category, but they do exist. And I think GTA is one of them, I think Red Dead is one of them, NBA is obviously one of them because the game [of basketball] will continue to exist.”

* He spoke of the idea of resting video game titles, and how important that is, 

* “It also requires you to be thoughtful and be willing to rest a title so that you have a sense of ‘wow, this is a rare event’,” he said.

* “I’ve always said that annualising non-sports titles runs the risk of burning out intellectual property even if it’s good, so we take the time to make something that we think is incredibly phenomenal and we also rest titles intentionally so that there’s pent-up demand for that title so that it’s a special event.

* “I go and see a Bond film because there isn’t another one in two months – I’m going to see every Bond film.”

* HaloHubGG on Twitter has been reporting on a possible early release of today, November 15th, of Halo Infinite’s multiplayer, as well as a demo of the Halo Infinite Campaign.

* One point of evidence seems to be the amount of updates 343i is pushing to the Steam Halo Infinite page during a time when employees are typically off.

* Though at the time of this news story another Twitter user by the name of NatetheHate2 has announced that the planned early release of today has been pushed back due to some possible technical issues.

* I honestly can’t say with any confidence this is happening, but it is interesting the last minute (seemingly) updates that are being pushed to the SteamDB for the Halo Infinite game on off hours, and supposed evidence that 343 is testing gameplay on servers.

* Take all of this with a grain of salt, even HaloHub GG suggests to do the same.

* But all of this might be for naught as today, the release of this episode, the game will have either launched, or not.

* One other question I have is whether or not this early release would be for PC only on Steam, since that’s where some of this evidence is coming from, or if an early release would be across the board for PC and Xbox consoles? Of course we will know as this episode gets to your ears!

* Rockstar’s Tweets about the Rockstar Launcher:

* Certain music files without license, and other files were left in the Grand Theft Auto Trilogy – Definitive Edition release which caused the whole Rockstar Games Launcher to be p...

* https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-11-11/sony-trims-playstation-5-assembly-plans-after-chip-shortages-hit?sref=SCAzRb9t

* Takashi Mochizuki with Bloomberg has reported that Sony has reduced its production outlook for the Playstation 5

* The article went on, “The Tokyo-based entertainment giant had previously targeted more than 16 million units assembled in the year ending March, setting it up to achieve its sales goal for the period and also get a head start on the subsequent year’s production. The company has now cut that number down to about 15 million, making its aim of 14.8 million PS5 sales by March difficult”

* It continues, “The PlayStation 5 became the fastest Sony console to reach 10 million units sold this July, but it has fallen behind the sales pace of its predecessor PlayStation 4 since then.”

* “Uneven vaccine rollouts across developing nations where Sony suppliers have their production bases have made supplies of chips and parts unpredictable. Assembly partners are in daily contact with component makers to confirm that shipments will arrive as scheduled, which is not always the case, the people said.”

* “Sony is far from alone in its struggle to navigate a clear path through shortages. Rival Nintendo Co. cut its full-year sales forecast for the Switch console family by 1.5 million units in early November, while Bellevue, Washington-based Valve Corp. pushed back the debut of its Steam Deck portable console from December to February, citing global supply chain issues.”

* https://www.windowscentral.com/new-upcoming-xbox-exclusives-project-midnight-compulsion-and-pentiment-obsidian

* Jez Gorden with Windows Central reports on a as yet announced third person action game for the Xbox Series consoles.

* Jen Garden writes, “Recently, we received some details on Compulsion’s first outing as part of Xbox Game Studios. Currently codenamed “Midnight,” this upcoming title is supposedly a third-person action game set in a dark and fantastical world. Some of the game’s early concept artwork can be seen above. They represent the game’s protagonist, alongside warped harpy-like humanoids that appear to descend through various iterations of mutation. On the left, we can see what appears to be harpy nest-style dwellings built atop a tree.”

* “Midnight is described as a “coming of age” tale drawing upon inspirations from America’s Deep South. The game features magic and large fantastical beasts with a strong “southern gothic” vibe. The game is a wholly single-player experience, with what has been described to me as a “strong” story.”

* “Right now I have no info on the launch timings of Midnight, but you’re likely looking at the next couple of years for an official reveal and perhaps even a full l...

* The official Playstation blog detailed some similarities and differences between Elden Ring and the Souls series

* Some of the similarities noted by this Playstation blog post

* Tough Bosses – From the hammer-flinging Grave Warden to the energy blades flung by Margit the Fell Omen, the boss battles on offer pack a level of challenge Souls fans have come to savor. Entrancing attack animations dovetail into devastating attacks, guiding you to study their movement and react to survive these fights.

* Common enemies hit hard – Greed and laziness will be punished. Don’t underestimate common ghouls or random horse-mounted foes in the field. They will end you if you drop your guard.

* Backstabs and parries – Block, roll, parry, and backstab your way through combat. Hard-earned muscle memory from past From Software games will come in handy.

* Combat and Targeting  – The bread and butter of dealing light and heavy attacks feels similar, yet with a subtle smoothness layered onto the overall gameplay. Locking on to enemies and cycling between targets mid-combat feels simple and intuitive.

Today we’ll be talking about IGN’s interview with Todd Howard about Starfield, Elder Scrolls 6, and Fallout 5, a Forza Horizon 5 exploit has already been discovered, and it involves old Jeeps from World World 2, Ubisoft will be giving away a game for their anniversary celebration, and Verizon wants to sell you a line of service and a Playstation 5.

Show Notes:

* IGN’s Ryan McCaffrey had a great interview with Bethesda’s Todd Howard, a couple of bits of info from that:

* https://www.ign.com/articles/elder-scrolls-6-starfield-bethesda-todd-howard-interview

* Kat Bailey on Elder Scrolls getting put on the back burner due to Starfield development.

* In a wide-ranging interview with IGN Unfiltered covering Skyrim’s 10th anniversary, Starfield, and The Elder Scrolls 6, Howard talked about the lengthy list of projects that wound up pushing the project back upon the conclusion of Fallout 4 in 2015.

* “Would you plan to have the kind of gap we’re having between Skyrim and the follow-up? I can’t say that’s a good thing,” Howard says. “Do I wish I could wave a wand and the game we wanted to make […] just came out? Absolutely.”

* “We felt doing something like Starfield… we’d been wanting to do something else for a long time and play in a new universe, so if not now — I’m going back in time, we started right after Fallout 4, so 2015 — if not now, when? It felt like, if we didn’t do it then, the ‘when’ could be ‘never,” Howard said.

* Kat Bailey Bethesda Game Studios ultimately decided to push forward with Starfield, effectively putting The Elder Scrolls 6 on the backburner. Both games were announced at E3 2018, but while Starfield is targeting a release for late next year, The Elder Scrolls 6 remains in pre-production. Based on the usual timescale of Bethesda’s development, that could mean that Elder Scrolls fans wind up waiting another several years before finally getting a chance to revisit Tamriel.

* https://www.ign.com/articles/fallout-5-bethesda-todd-howard

* Joe Skrebels reports on the IGN interview with Todd Howard that Fallout 5 is nothing more than a “one-pager right now.

* Asked if Fallout 5 could be passed to another game studio, (ala Fallout New Vegas being developed by Obsidian Entertainment), due to how long Starfield and Elder Scrolls 6 would take for development), Todd Howard had this to say, “Howard seemed to play down that idea, adding that there is a tentative idea for what a prosepective Fallout 5 could be: “I don’t see… Look, Fallout’s really part of our DNA here. We’ve worked with other people from time to time – I can’t say say what’s gonna happen. You know, we have a one-pager on Fallout 5, what we want to do.”

* Joe Skrebels states explains what a one pager is, “A one-pager is a term used for a high-level document that outlines a product or business idea. In terms of games, a one-pager would usually include a broad concept for the game, its plot, intended mechanics, target audience, and unique ideas. Essentially, somewhere in Maryland, a vision of Fallout 5 exists.”

Today we’ll be talking about Xbox’s 20 year anniversary celebration, BioWare teases some info from their upcoming Mass Effect sequel, specs and compatibility info released for Elden Ring, Metal Gear Solid 2 and Metal Gear Solid 3 will be temporarily removed from digital storefronts due to some licensing issues, and some Back 4 Blood news.

* The poster shows a new ship, and if you zoom in some on the picture you will see four characters.

* These four characters have landed their ship right next to a crater from something that appears to have crashed.

* The text on the poster itself reads “Mass Effect Will Continue”, as if that needed to be said.

* The crater and the the path of whatever crashed on the planet add up to look exactly like the shape of a Geth. The Geth were not in the most recent Mass Effect Andromeda.
