With coworker @AltazimuthEE now in NZ, we're considering doing some streaming where we play co-op games while discussing game industry happenings and questions. Assuming hardware isn't limited, what games (splitscreen preferred) would you like to see and questions discussed?

[Edward @Rocket_Pan_]

@ModernVintageG I don't really see it as a leadership issue. A lot of the supposed "concerns" are rumors that people have just outright made up and people have just run with for no reason. This week has been an absurd self-generated mess, rather than any actual problem with Xbox.

[Edward @Rocket_Pan_]

@bkcn20 @Genki_JPN Don't think you understand what you're asking. Baked lighting and shadowing has already been a solved mathematical concept that we've been doing in games since 1996.

[Edward @Rocket_Pan_]

@Mr_Rebs_ Not yet, still missing splitscreen co-op.

[Edward @Rocket_Pan_]

@NeuralStunner @DaveOshry @Harry_potterYT @LarryNightDive I have published like... 6 games on PS4 and for some reason this is the first I've ever heard of this feature.

[Edward @Rocket_Pan_]

@DaveOshry @Harry_potterYT @LarryNightDive Is that even a feature? I've never heard of it.

[Edward @Rocket_Pan_]

@Escaflowne2001 @TheKrueger1428 LRGs engine, Carbon, already has support for Xbox.

[Edward @Rocket_Pan_]

@ProtagonistZero @SVKaiser @XboxP3 That's not how that works, if we only did one game at a time there would be an entire team with nothing to do.

[Edward @Rocket_Pan_]

@MalikLabz @SVKaiser @XboxP3 Ah well Hexen predates the PS2 so that's perfect for us.

[Edward @Rocket_Pan_]

@SVKaiser @XboxP3 I have so many ideas for achievements already. Well okay 3 but that's more than usual.

[Samuel Villarreal @SVKaiser]

@XboxP3 Just letting you know, having a long running history and extensive knowledge with Heretic and Hexen, just want to point out that me and my team are very well suited for the job.

Just saying.

[Edward @Rocket_Pan_]

@Flashn00b Maybe look at what my job is and why I'd want to ask about Hexen. :V

[Edward @Rocket_Pan_]

Hexen! Hexen! Hexen! Hexen! Hexen! Hexen! Heretic! Hexen!

[Activision Blizzard @ATVI_AB]

It’s a big day for us. Today, we join Team @Xbox. All of our history and success leading to this moment is because of you – our incredible gaming community. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

@Yahya_no_1 Minecraft and Halo MCC beat me to it, though I atleast have done it as an engine feature rather than having to remake it for each game so you can keep expecting to see it.

[Edward @Rocket_Pan_]

Quake 2 has been updated with numerous changes, one of which includes now being able to play LAN between Xbox and PC.

@Harry_potterYT @DaveOshry @RiseoftheTriad @ThatTomHall Sorry, it seems the trophies were accidentally set to publish for the year 3000. Fixing now.

[Edward @Rocket_Pan_]

@DaveOshry @majorarlene I mean to be fair, we are still trying to figure out how to play capture the triad.

[Dave NewBlood @DaveOshry]

The ROTT console launch this week *won't* have multiplayer yet as the platform holders are still figuring out how to play Capture The Triad but it'll come in a few weeks hopefully.

Still set for launch on all platforms tomorrow however!

[Edward @Rocket_Pan_]

@M4iden_Canada @ChristinaTasty @realRaegenhere The idea that "Doom 3 was disliked when it launched" seems to be apocryphal. People were psyched for its launch and it's not like the game was completely different from what was previewed. The dislike for it seems to be something I typically see only from newer community members.

[Edward @Rocket_Pan_]

@LarryNightDive @DUSKdev Only Payday 2 from the looks of things, 3 uses something related to starbreeze nebula.
