@nib95_ @Colteastwood The world would be a better place if certain people on social media could apologise for being blatantly wrong and move on .

@Colteastwood Except once again you're lying. I never said that. I gave 2 scenarios that Kepler could be referring to, and straight up said I didn't know. Nobody could've known without clarification as the wording was ambiguous. "Helix Machine" could've meant the console, or its chip / APU.

VP of #Xbox Gaming Jason Ronald clarfies "Helix will be available as a first party console". Keplers post and my tweet specifically referred to the Helix chip, not console, and Jason hasn't yet clarified if the Helix chip/APU will be available to or used by other manufacturers. The reason the latter is interesting is because afaik no AMD Xbox or PlayStation console APU has ever been sold to or used by a third party manufacturer before (though consumers could buy similarly specced GPU/CPU), as typically they've been too custom or bespoke. If Helix's chip or APU is available to third parties, that could potentially mark a first. Again, Keplers response on the AMD Helix chip being used by ASUS/MSI was in response to: "So you think AMD will sell this Helix chip to consumers?" Jason's clarification doesn’t actually negate Keplers info. It's why in my tweet I added: "Whether he means there will be third party branded machines using the same chip as Helix in addition to Helix itself, or if Helix itself will be made by third parties, I'm not sure." If the Helix chip will NOT be used by other manufacturers, then Kepler would be wrong.

@MisterSpace3 @Septic_Sauce Quite a few have been asking for a drop in Xbox game pass pricing . They've done that. Most people can wait a year for call of duty so it's a win

@JoshBut36912374 @Septic_Sauce Which "fans" those would be? Because during the long acquisition process, the VAST majority was championing xbox promises for COD on game pass.

Another positive move by Asha Sharma. Ngl she's on a bit of a streak here.

@MisterSpace3 @Septic_Sauce The fans have been asking for this though so I suppose ultimately it's probably consumer

@JoshBut36912374 @Septic_Sauce I see :) Here's how the tribalist in me has to say x.com/MisterSpace3/s…

@MisterSpace3 @Septic_Sauce I know. Hence the tongue in cheek nature of my comment 👀

@JoshBut36912374 @Septic_Sauce It is very evident that xbox only cares for maximizing their revenue, so such ideas are completely off

@Septic_Sauce @MisterSpace3 The tribalist in me says take it off game pass and make it exclusive 👀 I know that makes zero business sense, but it's time for a different fan base to crash out 👀

@MisterSpace3 I take your point on board and you're right; the day and date removal may set a bad precedent. But XGP was way too high and removal of COD (if limited to just that) is a sensible move for a 25% reduction.

@Septic_Sauce It's the perfect time to stick the boot in. At the time when playstation has no games. The tables have turned and Xbox is pumping games out, but they haven't got the spine to say, "You won't give us your games? Fine! Now you don't get any of ours"

There is only one correct move for Xbox and exclusivity here.

@Septic_Sauce What do you mean I'm an idiot? I can literally see the PS5 pro right next to you. 🎣

The PS5 Pro is a scam

@JamiesAct They couldn't if they wanted to at this point. If every game they had was exclusive, playstation would suffer and the FTC would have a field day.

If true. Massive pivot.😭

@Colteastwood I have to be honest I totally agree. I've even been hooked in the first 8hrs. When everyone said it didn't get good until 30hrs. Tears of the kingdom for adults

LOVE Crimson Desert! We haven't had a huge open world like this in a long time!

@digitalfoundry Nah . You shouldn't have waited. Dlss5 looks far superior in every way. What you shouldn't have done is pander to a fan base. Although we know that you do this all the time . When it's the Xbox helix, and pander to your fan base by being negative. Now this. No integrity

The big DLSS 5 machine learning debate and why we should have waited before posting our first round of coverage - today's video: youtu.be/5dTTfjBAFzc

@Colteastwood I'm a fan dude. But maybe you should take a break from the public eye. Looks like people responding to you is getting to you a little bit. Maybe take a break from social media

Refunded Crimson Desert on Xbox PC App. Refuses to launch, no matter what I do. Xbox SEVERELY needs to fix their Xbox PC app if they are moving to Helix.

@ThrashJockey @curatorgamingx How many years later is this?

@curatorgamingx They say Marathon sucks and is already dead. Let me show you Starfield

Hold on a second… if Starfield is dead how the fuck does this tweet have 1M views?? LMAO

@DestinLegarie I was against it when I first heard about it. But after watching the clip and actually thinking about it, I literally do the same shit but just with Google instead of AI. If I'm super stuck I pause the game and Google it. This feels basically the same to me

Apparently, everybody uses copilot and I’m an old man now yelling about clippy still. youtu.be/-gIBdxx8khQ

@ryansmith1983 @GameOnJesse @Kotaku "strategy guides" Very expensive books that you could buy containing everything in the game

@GameOnJesse @Kotaku So how did ppl beat video games before the internet....?

Microsoft is bringing Gaming Copilot to Xbox later this year. Here's what it sounds like when you ask the AI for help: kotaku.com/xbox-copilot-r…

@DestinLegarie When is the Jason Ronald talk?

In San Francisco for GDC 😊

@Septic_Sauce Asha be writing to Herman hulst. Let us have your games on here or we pull all of ours off yours. Fair trade

Project Helix eh? Lets see if Xbox can locate its true DNA

@Septic_Sauce @Xbox @DoWhatYouDo6 And this is exactly why playstation is stopping pc ports 🤣 Fucking savages over there. If I was Asha, I'd literally yank everything now . Fuck em. They made their bed

@Xbox But @DoWhatYouDo6 told me this wouldn't exist ?

The next generation of Xbox console: Project Helix

@DaisukeKumiko @LocalWvlf @Xbox Let's be honest. If they made all of their games exclusives they would dominate playstation tbf. When they didn't have the games they had very little exclusives. Now they own virtually everything so would be very different

@DestinLegarie Looks great but I'm a little sceptical.

I have received a copy of Crimson Desert I cannot discuss details until embargo lift on March 18

@DestinLegarie I don't think so. It's a great game, but everyone who was going to buy cyberpunk has surely bought it already. I loved the game , but I already own it and so most other people I imagine

Huge get for Game Pass.
