I'm going to make a guess here and say the new dash should scale to whatever res you have, I don't see why it wouldn't look fine at 1080p or 720p etc.

All I want is a native 1080p UI, the only console that has that is the PS3. PLEASE XBOX!

I have my current system set at 1080p and maybe it's just me but I think the dash looks fine. What's off with it?

I doubt Microsoft genuinely gives a **** if people bust the NDA. Its probably more a formality than anything. If they were worried about leaks, they would only be doing internal betas.

Is what I was thinking. Sending out packs they knew this was bound to happen somewhere I can't imagine MS to be that naive.

They do, that's why there is an NDA

MS is very serious about NDA's. They have NDA's for a reason. They don't want to give competitors the upper hand or advance information so that they can be successful with a new product. They also want to test it in a every day environment before they release it to the general public so that they have a quality product.

I also abide by my NDAs. I recommend others do as well.

Yes, that's whey every time its been broken during game betas in the past, they haven't done anything to anyone :rolleyes:

suuure... as far as you know... I can tell you it's different, but the NDA prevents me from telling you anything so. But I'm not going to be talking about the beta.

I'm not trying to tell you not to abide by them. I abide by them as well. I'm just saying I don't think they care as much as you guys are assuming when its this late in the game. Competitors can't have an upper hand regarding Kinect. Nobody else is making anything like it or could even remotely do anything with any information before November when it releases. They aren't stupid, they know information is going to get out there NDA or not.

I would agree with that.

Doesn't change the fact that if you DO break the NDA, they will find you and they will ban you and boot you from the beta

Yeah I've not particularly seen any evidence of that when it comes to their Xbox betas. They can ban you, sure, but they can ban you for anything else they want too and they usually don't resort to that unless there's hacking or cheating going on. Think about it, there's not much information they could actually care to hide anymore, so to ban anyone in this beta for putting that out there is just to lose $50/year unnecessarily. They just aren't going to do it.

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

      Dude, it's a .reg away from a permanent modification. If you're a power user, look it up and keep the .reg and stop being a crybaby expecting MS to include customization for everything on a generalist OS. The default is what's the best UX for the majority of the userbase, non techie people.

      Logitech MX Creative Console is down to the lowest price by Taras Buria Having a Stream Deck-like device next to your keyboard could be a massive productivity boost. It lets you map specific actions and shortcuts to speed things up, and Logitech has such a device for you with a big 20% discount. Right now, you can save $40 on the Logitech MX Creative Console. The MX Creative Console is an unconventional accessory that consists of two modules. One module has nine customizable buttons, with each having a built-in display for mapping. You can assign apps, shortcuts, actions, or something else. There are nine buttons, plus two more for switching between "pages" of actions. The second module has no displays.

The MX Creative Console is available in two colors: Graphite and Pale Gray. Both are now 20% off, saving you $40.

      Because someone else reported theirs was unusable, genius. But being a Linux user you should be used to that. Next time you think you have a "gotcha", check first.
    • Studio MDHR reveals Cuphead sequel and an 8-bit platformer spin-off

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Studio MDHR reveals Cuphead sequel and an 8-bit platformer spin-off by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Studio MDHR has been rather silent about its next major gaming project since the release of Cuphead back in 2017. However, that ended today during the Summer Game Fest presentation, with the studio revealing not one but two project announcements. First, the studio confirmed that it is currently in the middle of developing a brand-new Cuphead game, bringing back the iconic characters for another adventure. Just like the last game, this is slated to be a fully hand-animated endeavor. This also means there isn't a release date attached to it yet. “Craftsmanship is at the heart of everything we do here at Studio MDHR,” says co-founder Chad Moldenhauer. “When it came time to peel back the curtain and share a little bit about what we’ve been up to, we couldn’t imagine a more fun way to do so than with today’s Special Bulletin. The studio is working on this new Cuphead with help from Toronto’s Stop Motion Department and Continue Agency. At the same time, Studio MDHR also revealed that another part of the team has been working on a different Cuphead installment. Dubbed the Mighty Cuphead Adventure, this is taking a different art direction to the original. "In true Studio MDHR fashion, this game goes beyond just taking inspiration from the classics of the 1980s… it is actually built with technology of the era," the studio explained. "That's right: Mighty Cuphead Adventure is programmed in assembly language and designed with the exacting specifications of the Sega Master System home gaming console in mind." Aside from releasing on PC and modern consoles, Mighty Cuphead Adventure will even be playable on the 1985-released Sega Master System. A release date has not been announced just yet.
