-

Few video game characters are as iconic as Sonic the Hedgehog. The speedy little blue blur has been around for over three decades, touching every corner of pop culture along the way, from games, to comics, to TV, to blockbuster movies. But we’re here specifically to celebrate the mainline Sonic game series and pick the best of them. Before we start, let’s quickly touch upon our criteria. We tried to rank these games based on a combination of historical significance, innovation, and how well these games stand the test of time. Some games, like Sonic Adventure 1 and the original Sonic the Hedgehog, for instance, are obviously super important to the Sonic series and set the foundation for both 2D and 3D Sonic games to follow, but we felt like they both didn’t quite hold up as well as their sequels when judged by a modern standard, which was why they just missed this list. The 10 games on this list are the ones we feel are the best examples of both classic and modern Sonic style. So w...

Xbox is Making it Easier to Clip Audio to Report Inappropriate Voice Chats

-

Microsoft is rolling out a new safety feature on Xbox consoles, allowing players an easier way to report inappropriate voice chats.

In a new blog post, Xbox Player Services Dave McCarthy wrote that this new feature will allow players to "capture and report inappropriate voice activity on any multiplayer game with in-game voice chat on Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One." McCarthy also confirmed that the feature would support thousands of games that offer multiplayer voice chat; this includes Xbox 360 games that are backward compatible.

The new feature will allow Xbox Series X/S and Xbox One players the option to capture a one-minute video clip of in-game audio that they deem is both inappropriate and violates Xbox's Community Standards. The clip will then be submitted as evidence to the Xbox Safety Team, which will review the evidence, and the player will be notified about whether or not Xbox took action.

"With reactive voice reporting, Xbox continues to help players feel protected. Empowering players with easy-to-use tools helps foster togetherness"

"With reactive voice reporting, Xbox continues to help players feel protected. Empowering players with easy-to-use tools helps foster togetherness, while improving the greater health of the gaming community on Xbox," Family Online Safety Institute CEO Stephen Balkam said in the blog post.

More interestingly, the blog post notes that you do not have to immediately submit the clip after recording it. It states that the clip will live on your console for 24 hours before it is deleted. This allows users a day to decide whether to file a report, with Xbox sending a notification to remind them to submit a report before the clip is erased.

In recent years, companies like Riot Games and PlayStation have implemented similar voice moderation policies that try to crack down on inappropriate voice chat behavior in multiplayer games.

Microsoft says its new safety features will roll out first to Xbox Insiders with the Alpha and Alpha skip rings before it is made available to all users.
