Microsoft Reveals Project xCloud Streaming Service




It seems like the streaming service era of gaming is going to the next step. We saw Playstation do it with Playstation Now and we saw Google do it with "Project Stream". Microsoft seems to be next to jump on the bandwagon as today they announced their new streaming serviced "Project xCloud"

The Project XCloud will give users the "freedom to play on the device you want without being locked to a particular device" Microsoft wants everything Video Games, Music, Movies, Etc to be accessible on any stream and that is the long term plan here. 

Currently Microsoft is testing this streaming service on mobile phones by pairing it with a Xbox One Controller  by using the Bluetooth feature. The test Internet speed for these tests is 10mbps (1o megabits per second) but the aim is to “deliver high-quality experiences at the lowest possible bitrate that work across the widest possible networks.”

This is a big step in the right direction for Microsoft as they can tap into the mobile gaming market as they have been doing with the PC gaming market the last few years. Either way this is a positive step for gmers who are all about being digital and well a darker day for gamers who like to collect discs.

Did Stranger Things Rip Off Beyond 2 Souls?

Did Stranger Things Rip Off Beyond 2 Souls? I know you read this title and thought either this man is crazy, or you have no idea what Beyond 2 Souls is. Well, I would not blame you for never hearing of it. Up until about four days ago, I had not heard of it, either. Beyond 2 Souls is a PS3 Game made by Quantic Dream, the same people who made another great story-based game known as Heavy Rain. Now, I assume most of you know the plot of the first two seasons of Stranger Things, so I won't really get into it. Instead, let's get into how we can compare Beyond 2 Souls and Stranger Things.  In Beyond 2 Souls, you play as a girl named Jodie. You play through her childhood to her late teens and twenties. Jodie is a female who has an entity in her known as Aiden ( I know that isn't like Eleven from Stranger things, but wait). With Aiden’s, the power she can control (well he controls, but you get it) move objects, take control of other people, and force choke (getting h

My Experience With MLB The Show 19

Image
As a sports enthusiast, I always get excited when the release of a new sport comes out. MLB The Show is the first sports video game release of the year, I spent 3 days with the game and have tried every mode that the game offers. This is not a review of the game just an everyday normal guy having an experience. After the game finished downloaded ( which takes forever these days), I went through the typical tutorials which have not changed from last year. Finished that and got my settings and controller figured out so I jump into an exhibition, as a Cubs fan I choose them and face off against the defending champs the Boston Red Sox. The gameplay has changed a small bit to a point where you feel the changes but until hour 6 I couldn’t tell you what those improvements were. The fielding felt smoother, The batting stances were way more accurate than they have been in recent years. The pitching had not changed at all which I love because I felt the pitching was as good as it could
