During the Xbox E3 2019 Briefing, Head of Xbox Phil Spencer revealed that in designing Scarlett, the company wanted the console to be "compatible across all the generations". Clarifying further, Partner Director of Program Management Jason Ronald told Windows Central more about the decisi

Once your team is able to hold down a respectable amount of supplies - three deliveries is a good starting number - it’s time to protect that which you have earned. The number of supplies at each base shows on the map, so your stockpile will look pretty darn attractive to the other teams that are still scrambling for their first bag of supplies. Most bases have at least one high-ground area surrounding it, making it the perfect place for a sniper to set up and pick off enemies. Once your team collects four or, dare we say five, supply bags, you will likely be in a better position for the whole team to remain on defense, with a sniper, a mid-range protector, and someone right on top of the supplies to provide point-blank defense. The fourth player could be used as a defensive roamer or as a distraction by stealing other teams’ supplies (even though they may not survive the solo attemp

Then there's Fool's Gold, which seems like a kind of King Of The Hill/Capture The Flag game. Competitors will fight each other to wear a suit of golden armor. The person wearing the suit will be hunted down. Whoever kills them obtains the new golden suit and a target on their back. There will also be three new Showdown Modes called Up In Smoke, Spoils Of War, and Plunder. Rockstar hasn't released details about these modes yet, but it's safe to assume that they'll involve horses and murder in some capac

This probably comes as no surprise to anyone (and especially not to the people still playing the game), but Red Dead Redemption 2 is yet another hit for Rockstar Games. In the first two weeks of sales, RDR2 sold 17 million copies, which is more than the original red dead redemption 2 Mods|Https://reddeadwildland.com/ Dead Redemption sold over the entire course of hist

According to The Verge , Take-Two responded to Pinkerton’s letter by counter-suing, arguing fair use and protection under the first amendment. As a huge part of America’s history (at one point, Pinkerton agents were even hired to protect President-elect Abraham Lincoln), the use of Pinkerton in RDR2 is simply part of the game’s historical sett

Fans have been waiting for the online portion of the game to become a little more robust, as it is less rich than Rockstar's other online world, Grand Theft Auto Online . Hopefully, this is just the beginning of a slew of new ways to get your cowboy

Partnered with even more tools that Rockstar Games added to allow more diverse fan content, the Rockstar Editor quickly became a one-of-a-kind feature. These other tools included Director Mode - which was mainly a "you can change whatever you want" mode - and the Snapmatic phone app that had existed since Day 1. The tools were so diverse that multiple players are making fully-fledged films with what is available to them.

Speaking about accessories, one can assume he is referring to Kinect, old Xbox controllers, and possibly peripherals such as headsets. Xbox has experimented with upgrading backwards compatible games externally, as they did by making the original Red Dead Redemption 4K with updated textures. We'll have to wait a tiny bit more for full details on Scarlett's backwards compatibility features, with the console shipping during Holiday 2

Because of Xbox setting its sights at the future of backwards compatibility, it will no longer be adding Xbox 360 and original Xbox titles to the backwards compatibility program from next week onwards. The final games to be added to the library before Xbox focuses on Scarlett full-time will be Armed and Dangerous, Indiana Jones and the Emperor’s Tomb, Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy, classic titles from the Splinter Cell series such as Chaos Theory and Double Agent aswell as Unreal Championship 2: The Liandri Conflict. According to the company, "you can now play the entire Splinter Cell franchise on Xbox O

There's a good chance you will need to blow these images up to notice the difference, especially if you are a newcomer to ambient occlusion. Put simply, ambient occlusion is a game rendering realistic lighting based on the actual geometry in the room -- if a lighting source would be blocked, we wouldn't expect to see every inch of nooks and crannies. For a visual demonstration, you can take a look at this (thanks to website GamingScan ):

During the beginning minutes of the round, it’s all about grabbing loot, be it from the center of the map or plundering it from other teams’ base. One of the most effective strategies is to move about the map in teams of at least two people. That way, one player can provide support while the other grabs the supplies. If that player happens to be taken out, the covering player can (in theory) be right there to snag the dropped loot and run it back to the base. Running as a full team of four might seem like overkill, but overwhelming your rivals is just as effective of a strategy - at least until you start piling up the suppl
