Windows Central Gaming is going to have a co-stream going on here.

 

With this quickly approaching I figured it was time to make an official thread for the show.  Feel free to post what you expect to see, hope to see, rumors, and thoughts on what they actually show come Sunday.

30 games shown, 27 coming to game pass day 1.  Number of exclusives and timed exclusives were shown.

 

I think the show was a solid 8/10.  It was just one game after the other game.  And I feel like they're still holding back on news.

MS put on a solid show. The best part for me was definitely the imminent release of Flight Simulator. 

 

Looking forward to trying out FH5 and some of the indie titles like A Plague Tale and Requiem. 

 

What did people think of the new Halo footage?

The Halo footage has got me interested in the multiplayer.

 

I think that portion of the game been free to play will do a lot to keep the multiplayer relevant over the years, in addition I believe free to play titles now don’t require a subscription to play online, which will be great to randomly have games with friends who no longer subscribe to Xbox Live.

 

Age of Empires IV looks great also, sadly buying a GPU at a reasonable price is proving next to impossible, so I don’t think I’ll be playing that anytime soon unless it comes to xCloud.


I’ll be interested to try Flight Simulator on xCloud to see how that performs, possibly one of the first xCloud games to run on the newer Series X hardware? Going back to the GPU problem above I’ve not been able to play this yet either.

I don't think you can make fun of the new Halo footage.  The MP looked great so why wouldn't the SP side look just as good or even better?   It's been the case till now that devs cut down a little on the MP side to make sure you get steady frame rate and no connection issues, so I think the MP looked solid visually which tells me the campaign is going to look great.

 

The show also had some nice little gems that will be hitting game pass that I'm looking forward to playing.  Like the Ascent for sure.  Replaced looked great.    They had a little bit of everything in there for everyone IMO.

 

Rest of 2021 looks solid to me.

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By +samw61 · Posted

      I think the car analogy is more this: Left hand drive, basic commands on the left side of the infotainment screen. Right hand drive, basic commands on the right side of the infotainment screen. Granted, you're not swapping between the two often so it's doesn't really work. But it's to do with the proximity of you (your mouse, or the driver) to the controls.

      I mean, the old one was broken and so stupidly complex for many users, so I don't see that as a feasible option. A context menu needs to be simple to use, and for me the Windows 11 style actually worked really well for me, and many others. I used to have to scroll the damn context menu just to get to "file properties" in Windows 10. That was not a good experience, and I'm sure you'd agree. What they're trying to do is make it the best of both worlds, as clearly you'd prefer the Win10 style. I'm curious how they're going to do this.

      The "Show more options" has its place, as does the simpler context menu, but it should perhaps be a separate fly-out rather than relaunching the entire, old context menu. The old context menu was getting absurd in Windows 10. Often I'd have to make the context menu scroll just to get to "File properties" on my old laptop. Even without much installed, the amount of items was just too much. It's a context menu, not a "do all" menu. Making it configurable is fraught with challenges too, so I'm interested to see how Microsoft tackles this one.

      I don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"
