During the Microsoft-Bethesda roundtable livestream, Xbox head Phil Spencer was asked a question about how the partnership will impact exclusivity on the platform. Spencer said that while there are "contractual obligations" that must be fulfilled, the partnership is really about delivering exclusive games that "ship on platforms where [Xbox] Game Pass exists."Pete Hines threw the question to Spencer, who noted that he has heard the community and wanted to be as clear as he can because he thinks that transparency is fair. After meandering a bit about how "every Bethesda game [is not] exclusive" due to contractual obligations, Spencer said that Bethesda games will exist on any platform where Xbox Game Pass lives."If you're an Xbox customer the thing I want you to know is this is about delivering great exclusive games for you, that ship on platforms where [Xbox] Game Pass exists," Spencer said. "That's our goal. That's why we're doing this. That's the root of this partnership that we're building and the creative capability we will be able to bring to market for our Xbox customers. It is going to be the best it's ever been for Xbox after we're done here."Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Best monitor for PS5 and Xbox Series X LG 27" 27GN950-B See at Amazon Runner-up for best monitor Acer Predator 27" XB273K See at Amazon Best high-end monitor LG 48" CX OLED See at Amazon Best budget monitor Asus TUF 28" VG289Q See at Amazon Best Xbox Series S monitor LG 32" 32GK650F-B See at Amazon Gaming monitors are typically used in conjunction with PCs, but they can also be a great option for consoles. With the release of the PS5 and Xbox Series X, there's increased interest around not only 4K TVs but also monitors that take full advantage of the next-gen consoles' power. The PS5 and Xbox Series X will work well on almost any quality screen, but you'll need a monitor with HDMI 2.1 to take full advantage of the consoles' capabilities and play games in 4K at 120fps. At the moment, there are no monitors on the market that boast HDMI 2.1 ports, but if you're not looking to take advantage of 4K and 120Hz at the same time, you can save some money on a more affordable monitor. Before we get into our recommendations, here's what you need to know about picking the best monitor for PS5 or Xbox Series X right now.What is HDMI 2.1?HDMI 2.1 is the latest HDMI spec that can transmit 48Gbps of information, which allows for a 4K resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, and HDR. HDMI 2.1 also provides two benefits to gaming specifically. Variable refresh rate (VRR) and auto low-latency mode (ALLM) offer a smooth, tearless image and virtually no lag between your inputs and the action. The PS5 and Xbox Series X both boast HDMI 2.1 and can display gameplay at 4K and 120Hz--the PS5, however, does not currently feature support for any adaptive sync, including VRR, FreeSync, and G-Sync.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Microsoft has made a habit of dropping Easter eggs in its remote streams during the coronavirus pandemic. So with the Bethesda-Xbox roundtable event celebrating the acquisition, surely we were going to be teased about the setting of Elder Scrolls VI, a Starfield-themed Xbox console, and the blood type of Doomguy, right? As it turns out, nope.That may be in part because of the venue. Rather than a remote event in which we spied on the offices of various Xbox executives, this one was held at Bethesda headquarters. That office space has plenty of Bethesda decor, ranging from a life-sized Doom Slayer to Corvo's mask from Dishonored, but none of that seems to be particularly new or unexpected.An inside look at Bethesda HQPhil Spencer rocking a Skyrim shirtThe one remote call came from Xbox head of partnerships Sarah Bond, who joined in from Xbox headquarters in Redmond. Similarly, her background was adorned with framed art based on huge Xbox franchises like Halo and Minecraft, and less-huge Xbox franchises like State of Decay.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

When Fallout 76 released with its numerous issues, Bethesda's Todd Howard made a phone call to Xbox boss Phil Spencer that ended up helping to turn things around.During the Bethesda-Microsoft briefing on Thursday, Howard recalled that Spencer was one of the first people he called when things went south with Fallout 76. Spencer directed Howard to some people at Xbox who gave Howard and his team at Bethesda some good advice about how to turn the ship around and get Fallout 76 back on the right path. As has been well-documented, Fallout 76 struggled at launch, both in terms of performance and stability, as well as claims from fans that it was not a true Fallout game because of its online nature and the absence of NPCs."When that game launched, the litany of issues we had, we let a lot of people down," Howard said of Fallout 76. "There was very little we didn't screw up, honestly. One of the people that I called was Phil. I said, 'Hey you know there's many things we're dealing with, what advice do you have?' And he put me in touch with some people at Xbox who were able to look at all of the games in the system and what was important and what wasn't important for games that made it for the long-haul."Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

This week on Wrestle Buddies, GameSpot's professional wrestling podcast, Chris E. Hayner and Mat Elfring present two of the most notable strange occurrences in the professional wrestling industry during the 1990s. And, shockingly, one of them had almost nothing to do with pro wrestling. Still, they both somehow included Lex Luger.First up, we head back to 1999 and WCW's infamous finger poke of doom. Do you remember the time Hulk Hogan beat Kevin Nash for the WCW World Championship by tapping him on the chest? Of course, you do, because you're as ridiculous as we are. What you might not remember is Goldberg's role in the entire debacle, how it was obviously a sign of the times in WCW, and which incarnation of the NWO was involved.Then, we're jumping even further back in time to revisit Vince McMahon's first non-wrestling endeavor. Sure, you remember the XFL. What about the WBF, though? Once upon a time, Vince loved bodybuilding so much that he launched the World Bodybuilding Federation. You might not know that, though, because it didn't last very long. Still, like with the finger poke of doom, Lex Luger somehow plays a role--as does Incredible Hulk star Lou Ferrigno and an episode of the game show Family Feud.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com
