Almost 10000 in the old thread, so it's time to start anew. The old thread can be found here.

Before you post in here, remember that there might be a more appropriate thread in the forum, with the main ones being:

Deals With Gold
Bargain Alerts
4K and HDR TVs
XBox gaming
Xbox system updates
Xbox Live Gold subscription deals

Remember, be kind to each other, don't be a d**k.

Enjoy.

9pm. It is listed as being on at 5pm ET, which would usually be 10pm here but the US is already on DST.

I still wonder if Halo Infinite is going to be some sort of revision to the MCC, bringing all halo games in under one launcher? It'd be a ballsy move.

I'd assume that they've learned their lesson from the last time, and it seems that the work they've done to fix it was pretty fundamental, I'd assume that it would carry over.

Here's hoping anyway, I could see it building up a pretty good following on PC. I might finally properly get to play the game I bought my OG XB1 for.

Inside Xbox is on later today, at 21:00. Big news coming out of it is that Halo:MCC is coming to PC. Not sure if it's a straight port made for PC, or if it's the Xbox on PC thingy that the Windows Insiders are currently testing out with State of Decay 2.

Watching it on Mixer with your Microsoft account gets you a chance to win "One Piece World Seeker", and some Black Desert stuff.

Link for watching it on Mixer here.

Seen I can pick cod black ops 4 up second hand for €32.
Is it any use?

Honestly, €32 is to high for it. Its not worth that. It was my first COD game in years and after about 3 days I regretted buying it. I knew there was a reason I had stopped playing COD years ago.

I'm in two minds. Theres no campaign, not sure if that matters to you. The multiplayer is great though, and the battle royale mode is also very good.

However, recent updates have made the game look like a free to play game gone mad. Skins for cash, skins that grant bonus xp for kills , rotten looking character uniforms, etc etc. It's like Activision is trying to squeeze every brown cent out of the game.

Is there any news on AOE4? It will be exclusive to the Microsoft platform so here is hoping they release it on the One X aswell. Very hard to find anything concrete on the game.

Big reveal on the next Inside Xbox apparently. That's partly where the acquisition rumour is coming from, Relic are hiring for an Age of Empires franchise lead or something like that, which implies they've got responsibility for the whole lot now.

Rumour going around that Microsoft acquired Relic Entertainment, the guys that they tapped to develop Age of Empires 4. Makes sense I suppose, but they're not an independent company, they're part of Sega, so Sega would have to want to sell.

Relic also did Company of Heroes, man I loved that game.

I wonder how that'll be received from the point of view of scaling - as in FOV sliders, resolution etc?

My guess? Current and past games wouldn't have any, but games in the future, built with this in mind? Yeah, totally possible.

It'd still be more restricted than a pure PC game, but they're making a lot of strides on that too, with increased mod support, etc.

I put this in the general gaming forum, and then forgot to put it here.

People have been wondering what Microsofts renewed commitment to PC at E3 meant, and now we're starting to see the first indications of it. Recent Windows Insider builds came with "Gaming Improvements", along with a free test of State of Decay. Turns out that it's the Xbox version of the game running on PC, rather than a PC specific version like you'd get from the Microsoft store.

See here.

Or similarly a 3.5mm to Bluetooth dongle plugged into your controller. They are small and light but You'd still probably want to strap it to the controller somehow.

I have 2 * small bluetooth devices (trx and a rx), so plug the trx into the controller and then the bluetooth speaker should pick it up, correct ?

Or as in the previous post, get the box mentioned and connect via the RCA connections, I'm guessing.
cheers folks

Correct me if I am wrong but I don't think you would get sound or video at all if there was an issue with the connector on the back of the console?

Most likely neither would work at all...

The damage is very slight so I'm guessing that this is the issue !

Morrisseeee

The headphone solution is fine for a single user but not suitable for a movie for multiple people. I must check the SN on the MS site, just in case. If I use the optical o/p do i need a special box to connect my wireless speaker?

Xbox One S : HDMI damage (cannot hear peoples voices)

I bought the kids an Xbox One S the previous Xmas('17) and in the last few months the kids were complaining of intermittently not hearing peoples voices in games & DVDs. They didnt complain hard enough as I kinda ignored it, more fool me!! Anyway I reckon the warranty is just out so probably no luck there, I bought it off Gamestop online.

I checked the back of the Xbox and sure enough the HDMI connector is very slightly damaged. I checked my connecting cables & I dont see any damage there but somehow the Xbox connector is damaged! ie. I've used the same cables on other equipment, like a PS3, and none of them are damaged.
I gooogled HDMI damage and I see quite a few hits for it, even videos how to fix it by swapping in the HDMI IN connector. This is an option for me as I have access to Rework personnel to do the job.

But, is there another way, ie. can I connect up a wireless speaker ? ie. i've a KitSound BoomEvolution 2.1

You can connect a headset/earphones to the controller. And mute the Tv.

It may still be in warranty. You can check on the Microsoft website once you have the serial number.

Edit: Just checked the warranty on my One S on the Microsoft website.
I bought it December 2018 and the warranty is until December 2020

There's an optical out port on it, so you could use that. I don't know the pros/cons of it though.
