Destiny one was great for me, then it all went to far further in and of course with destiny 2 I got totally lost and gave in, it seemed so much and so over complex in the end, as far from its destiny one roots.

Mad world, Tears for Fears.
I even think of that song now with gears e day. That song is gears, end of.

The main thing for me is the confirmed series x 60FPS, that’s was a relief waiting for that news.

Blimey ten years, that’s a long long time for one game.
I hope it’s a top end AAA like BOTW after ten years cooking it.
It does look above average so far, but will wait and see when it’s released and I play on GPU, I do have some doubts but fingers crossed it’s amazing and critically acclaimed as much as say Forza Horizon 6.

Not into FF have given demos ago recently but never clicks with me that well.

Anyone know the gears e day series x download size.

If it was say £15 on top of my GPU I would probably give in, but £30 is over the mark, I will wait 5 days.
Though my plan was rayman whilst waiting but that’s not happening now.

Halo Infinite, FH6 and Doom dark ages DLC.

Probably won’t jump into this one, not for now anyway.
Got the following soon:
GPU:
Minecraft D2
Gears e day
COD MW4 buy if campaign is very good
GTA 6 if good 😊
Rayman legends untold - definitely buying
Fable February 2027 - GPU

Seamless switching between console and PC, also assuming the PC version will be the best version of course and the game must be optimised to take advantage of the PC build, I’m guessing though there might be some messing about.

QUICK RESUME in console and PC mode.

@HonestHick
I really hope it does well and sells well so we get another Gears Game soon.

Have played all the gears in the series day one and so looking forward to this one as well.

I don’t need this feature as all digital for over a decade, but great for those that do.

@Mr-Cage
My Christmas game will now be Rayman legends retold since the delay to December so it times well now.

Got the preload tile there already.

@Fiendish-Beaver @HonestHick
I know you two have been so longing for this game. Dam well enjoy to the fullest, you top Gears.

If they drop day one on GPU, then I drop them when my GPU runs out March 2027.
The big main reason I have GPU in the first place and the main attraction.

Really can’t be with them dropping GPU day one, that would never do.
My GPU expires early March 2027.
If I re-sub monthly at £16.99 it must include xbox studios day one. I can accept COD but not any more.

Was looking forward to this on the 1/10/26.
If they have delayed to go after GTA6 then that’s a big mistake.
For £35 they should have kept the original date, now maybe too many will still be playing GTA6 to bother with this game.
I will still be buying this game on the 3/12/26 as it will make a great Christmas game.

Series x all the way and only now are we starting to see more of its capabilities and the games to go with it.
Overall it is the console of this generation, just the owners did not know what to do with it and how to sell it more.
Microsoft’s hardware team got it spot on form factor wise and firmware team with the amazing quick resume etc.
I’m hoping they get it spot with Helix as well and I think they will.

Of course gears e day on GPU
But will buy rayman legends retold on the first of October.

I was amazed by the gameplay and how good it looked and all the quality of life improvements.
And I believe all at 60FPS.

Zero been digital for over a decade

Absolutely ZERO, inferior load of rubbish.

@Mr-Cage
Yep definitely prefer FH6 just finished some racing on it.

@Mr-Cage
You preferring fh5 to fh6.

Had play off halo infinite, FH6 and ac black flag re.
Now waiting for new tv and sound bar, sub and rear speakers to be delivered. Then set up time.

@Mr-Cage
I had to be careful once for chatting up the car sat nav lady because I liked her voice 🤣
I best play GTA alone.

The game did look far along for that year it got cancelled. Which was a big thing back in the day.

But nowadays they cancel completed games or as good as, and not finished games or release total GAAS crap that flops, this is all companies.

You thought they would have gone gunning in to double the user base first then hit with this new limit and charge thing.

Perhaps they think Gamepass is at its max membership and those that are in have to pay for it if you want more.

@bowzoid
Don’t shoot the messenger 🤣

I think both Microsoft and Sony have to do what they have to do, be it costs, digital or cloud stuff.

I think they know what they doing and this is gaming getting a reality cost check and company profits check.

I mean I’m holding in my hand a £900 phone and watching a £2000 TV, not that long ago the series x I’m looking at was only £400 ish.
It’s wake up time gamers I’m afraid.

Now imagine if Xbox hit that one special game from their studios and it was exclusive.
Probably impossible nowadays and even for Sony to a point.
Probably Nintendo the only ones left with that amount of clout over one game.

It’s crazy a store where my nephew works at one point went from to a few a day of lucky to just over 50 a day at one point. Series x disc, the most expensive option.

@PsBoxSwitchOwner
Still have GPU stacked, I’m on the old price still really. Not at the £16.99 so even better for me currently.
It is good value if you like Xbox games like, FH6, Halo, gears and fable. I can’t complain about that at the moment.

Here’s a deal Xbox, take this rubbish cloud gaming off my GPU and give me COD back.

GPU at the current UK price is fantastic to me especially as I get day one full download Xbox studios games and from some other studios.

As for CLOUD I hope it goes away someday and never comes back, because it is absolutely a threat to native downloading of games.

I want the best quality experience now and going forward forever, not half baked cloud crap.

Take this absolute rubbish cloud gaming away from my game pass ultimate and give me a monthly cost reduction.

Cloud gaming can go die right now.
Give me full download full 4k with the best visual and sound quality possible.

I absolutely HATE cloud gaming.

I’m sure each year they over crowd February for some stupid reason.
Well Fable on GPU for sure
Maybe Metro, find its slower pace does not suit me overall.

None for me for the month of August.
I manly have GPU for Xbox studio AAA games like. FH6, Halo, gears e day and Fable.

Had a go at the campaign missions.
Was a great COD experience as expected.
Will have to wait for reviews to see how the rest of the campaign adds up and the length as well.

@awp69
Well at least we get 60FPS with Fable.

For me it goes to show, delaying games and also using that time for polish is the right move.
How many hundreds of games should have been delayed for polish.

But it also shows had the release been this year that polish would have been lacking and not good for it.

@Balaam_
Totally agree with should have 60FPS.

It is funny over at push square same article how they hype this game so much and miss out this bit that is on pure Xbox

“ Instead, the image reads very much like a relatively straightforward spatial upscale from 1440p to 4K, bringing with it a degree of softness, visible geometric aliasing and shimmer on fine details. RT elements exacerbate this in places, with noisy, smeared reflections that can look worse than older screen-space solutions in some static comparisons."

It’s the same when they go on about the switch 2 and it preforms very good against the PS5 and Xbox series x.
Yep right that’s because it’s running at 30fps and not 60fps to start with.

In this case with Pro and series x frame rate is because the Pro is pushing out a lot more
Visually overall, at least they mention that.

Well let’s think about this, over decades disk drives have been on major decline.
CD players car and home, home Blu-ray players, PC and now consoles.

So it’s also a slow close down of the manufacturers and less of them available.

What is a disc drive some of the youngsters say.

If there is absolutely one thing that GTA has taught us, it is not the console and the power they have or not holding back games and quality of and size and amazing details that GTA gives us.
It’s time and budget costs of companies.
GTA is a billion dollar made game that gives you all that amazing stuff of course at a cost.
We don’t need maybe more powerful consoles but more time and bigger budgets to make the games at the level of GTA.

Have not played VF for years.
Will give this a GPU go.

@ZeD
Thank you, I’m in no rush, but a least on series x we have VRR LFC going down to 20fps so that should help with that 30fps frame rate and iron out a few wrinkles.

Now Xbox series x is the best place to play GTA6 😊

Let’s not forget Xbox series x has LFC baked into its hardware that takes VRR with LFC down to 20fps, so with GTA 6 at 30fps the Xbox series x could have an advantage.

VRR Range: The official Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) range for the PS5 is 48Hz to 120Hz at the system level.Low Framerate Compensation (LFC): Because the lower floor of the PS5's VRR window stops at 48Hz, it does not stretch down to 20Hz or engage LFC for 30fps/20fps dips the way XBOX consoles or PC implementations can.
