I'm not buying Destiny 2 until I read a review... They aren't fooling me again with this horseshit. I remember how hyped I was when I saw that first destiny trailer.
I didn't like the idea initially but they got a decent lineup w/ more games on the way...I might fuck w/ it if I like the trial

Microsoft Beam is now 'Mixer,' new video co-stream features coming soon
It has been almost a year since video-stream platform Beam.pro joined Microsoft, but the fledgling Twitch competitor is about to undergo a major transformation.
Starting today, Beam.pro will be no more. Beam will now be known as "Mixer," or "Mixer.com," as Microsoft asserts its intentions to take on Amazon's Twitch.tv at a global level.
The intent behind the Mixer brand is to emphasize the community aspects of the service across Xbox Live and Windows 10. Soon you will also be "mix" your stream with up to three friends, according to Microsoft, combining four feeds, and four chat channels into a single stream. But wait, that's not all!
Co-streaming, Xbox One dashboard page
Leveraging Mixer's industry-leading low latency, co-streams utilizing Mixer's faster than light (FTL) stream protocol will display in near-real time to viewers, providing a brand new perspective on cooperative streaming. Naturally, the implications for collaborative play and eSports spectating is huge, and because Mixer is connected directly to Xbox Live and Windows 10, it gives Microsoft a unique opportunity to get a leg up on Twitch.
Additionally, Mixer will soon be directly integrated into the Xbox One dashboard, under a new page to the right of the home screen. Here, Microsoft will display content and coverage from across the service, whether it's popular and trending streamers, or eSports channels featuring Gears of War, Forza, and Halo.
In the future, you should expect Xbox (and maybe even Windows and Surface) to begin using Mixer as the exclusive location of its future live streams.
New apps for iOS and Android (and maybe Windows?)
Mixer will also debut a new app, called "Mixer Create," which is the service's take on mobile screen streaming and live feed streaming. Users will be able to stream their camera directly to Mixer, similar to Twitter's Periscope service, broadcasting live across Xbox, the respective Mixer apps, and the Mixer website. It will also leverage Mixer's FTL codec, making it far faster than competing services.
We asked about the possibility of Mixer Create hitting Windows 10 phones in the future, but as you might expect, it's not in the company's immediate plans. Xbox is going where the users are first, which sadly, isn't Windows 10 Mobile.
E3 2017 and the future
Co-streaming might require FTL, but Beam told us that the upload speed needed to achieve FTL is decreasing all the time. The service is activating new servers on a routine basis, as demand swells from users across Windows 10 and Xbox Live. (Let's not forget that Project Scorpio will also support native 4K streaming.)
We were told that today marks the beginning of a massive marketing push for Mixer. Microsoft is aiming to make Mixer the ultimate place to view E3 2017 coverage, with exclusive reveals and interviews, huge giveaways, and more. Mixer will also have its own booth at E3 in Los Angeles next month for the first time, introducing itself to the world as a standalone entity, rather than a simple Xbox Live feature.
Mixer is going to stream for six hours to celebrate the relaunch of the service starting at 11 am PT (2 pm EST/7 pm BST) and culminating in a special interactive firework display at around 9.30 pm PT (12.30 am EST/ 5:30 am BST).
Huge potential for Mixer
Mixer is, in my opinion, one of Microsoft's most exciting ventures to date. The raw potential is palpable, thanks to the direct integration into Windows 10 and Xbox One, allowing for easy streaming setups, 4K on Scorpio, making expensive capture cards unnecessary, and unique co-streaming features, which will enable new experiences.
Taking on Twitch, and perhaps one day, YouTube, will be an insurmountable task. If Microsoft can actually make it work, it would be an incredibly impressive feat. But Twitch is already responding. Amazon's streaming service debuted its own interactive SDK recently, which is very obviously a direct response to Mixer's interactive SDK, allowing viewers to affect a game directly.
The competition in the streaming space just got incredibly interesting. It remains to be seen whether or not Mixer can make a dent in Twitch's utter dominance of the sector, but considering Mixer's service appears to be objectively superior in various ways, Microsoft is certainly off to a good start.

Crowdfunded asymmetrical multiplayer game Friday the 13th may be running an unfinished beta build on the Xbox One version of the game.
Gun Media’s horror multiplayer title was extremely anticipated by fans of the iconic movie franchise, but it seems that Xbox One owners have been given the brown end of the stick with the launch version of the game being vastly unfinished compared to competition platforms.
Posted on the official forums for the game, forum member Xanadu noticed that the PS4 and PC versions of the game are hugely different from the Xbox One version. The Xbox version not only sees the absence of graphical features such as dynamic hair, but also uses beta assets from the PC version, including the same, unfinished menus from the months-old PC beta. The Xbox One version also doesn't have a small tutorial like the others.
Whilst patches are supposed to be rolling out on Xbox One soon, the PS4 version has received two patches already. Aside from the obviously unfinished build running on Xbox, all versions of the game have problems with matchmaking, even after patches on PS4 and PC and, well, matchmaking on Xbox One isn’t good in the slightest.
For a $40 (£32) title in 2017, this treatment would be unacceptable on any platform, and with the problems that patched versions of the game still have, it seems that Xbox One owners should stay far away from the nightmare that is Friday the 13th. We'll update you as soon as we know more or there's a patch on Xbox One. Hopefully the developers are aware of these issues and are working to address them.
