AI-Generation

@Skinny-Pete
I used to do that last gen but not this gen.

Anything 30fps is absolutely dire to me no matter what the console is or make etc.

I will never touch a 30fps game now.

Well it’s top on Meta 91 score wise for the year so far, what could beat it.

I think maybe only GTA6
I think say Fable and wolverine will be high 80’s.

If Nintendo shock us with a big AAA this year like a new Mario 3d then, that may beat it. Mario Odyssey is at 97.

@Millionski
Same as me 60FPS only
Just imagine through the GTA6 PS6 or Helix version pure smooth 60FPS, more details and far better ray tracing.
And every bug gone and improvements all made.
Seems a better bet to wait for next generation GTA6.

@Millionski
I may be wrong but I think the game may only be 30fps on base consoles.
I’m sure I read that in here.
Maybe Pro can get 60FPS if true.

@Broosh
I think they need a show case like Sony and XBOX.
Second half of the year seems quiet for the big N and a good showcase with some big N AAA games would do them good.
Switch 2 seems a bit light yep Yoshi, Starfox and Splatoon raiders are filler games to me and not big Nintendo AAA games.

Yep it’s a great start to June.
PS then XBOX.

Hello Nintendo, cough cough 🤣

It’s all about the games XBOX.
Makes a big hitter and a banger and this is what you get.
Well done Playground games.

@GlasgowGuy
That is one attack strategy that maybe Sony have not thought of.

Make a PC HYBRID that plays all PS games old and new and the PC part plays PC games and of course can have gamepass as well.
Fight fire with fire.

@MrStark
I think you are right, with the costs as they are now and who now’s what the PS6 will cost and the continuing diminishing returns of each generation.
And probably cross generation games that may go on all next generation.

Next generation is gonna be a hard sell.

It’s is up to Xbox now, they can go exclusive on Xbox consoles, PC, Cloud and game-pass.

Advertise and promote Xbox consoles and be happy that they have Xbox consoles, PC, Cloud, game pass etc.

Always said it, it’s all about the games and FH6 is a great start this year, but I think that is going to PS, so not a good start if you go on the above XBOX strategy, especially as it is a very liked franchise and is current top rated on Meta this year.

Do it XBOX, pull the plug on the PS version and start being a XBOX business and promote your console etc.
Also Halo and Gears.

Yep it is a strategic business decision by Sony and that’s what businesses do.

Over to you XBOX, what you gonna when Hulkamania runs wild in you.

@Balaam_
What they should do with the Playground games magic recipe is share it with the other Xbox studios.
In terms of strategy and structure etc.

Great to see an Xbox studio game at the top FH6 after 5 months into the year.

Would be good to see Halo and gears in the top 10 or even 5 as well by the end of the year.

That would be a great year for Xbox studios.

All capital letters for me, also it’s the only way I can write

@ILuvGames
I forgot about the car packs and future dlc.
One of my favourites was FH4 Lego expansion tracks etc. Just took a fun different approach.

@ILuvGames
I’m hanging it out until Tuesday to play when it releases, resisting the temptation of early access.

Glad you are really enjoying FH6.

Have it downloaded with GPU.
It’s so tempting but at £50 I will hold until Tuesday.
The UK has a bank holiday next weekend and have taken the Friday as holiday.
So a sweet 4 days to play next weekend.

@Kezelpaso
Well as you have the same name as my son
I will HOLD 🤣

After FH6 in May my next and of course paid for will be AC Black flag re synced in July.

Then assuming here.
Halo GPU
Gears E Day GPU

Then go from there.

Still going through Pragmata and maybe some Doom Dark Ages.
Trying to resist early access with Forza Horizon 6. It’s tough when it’s downloaded and ready to go 🤣

Nice to see an Xbox studio game the top of Meta for 2026 after 5 months gone.
Wonder if Gears E day will be there as well.

@Fiendish-Beaver
If I get gears of war e day on series x through GPU.
When Helix arrives would I then be playing the Helix enhanced version in Helix PC mode? So I would be playing the PC version.

@Fiendish-Beaver @Millionski
For me even the normal Xbox controller is better for me.
It’s all about hands and personal preference.
The thumb sticks diagonally across and the triggers I prefer to other controllers bundled with consoles.

Each hand to its own 🤣

Have an elite 2, best controller.
Will be getting the elite 3, thank god they left the thumb sticks in the same angled formation.

If there is one Xbox studio that knows AAA critically acclaimed game making its Playground games.
Congratulations 🥳

Well I said meta of 93 on here a while ago.
So I’m close 🤣

Absolutely FH4 I’m UK which helped.
Was nice to drive on the left side of the road to start with 🤣

FH6 is in Japan so should be left side of road and steering wheel on the right.
Same as UK 🇬🇧

Just seemed the most together one out of them all.

Me pre load FH6 has just got a 7gb update.

Only one out of all those games and so many of them I will be playing and ever will play.
FORZA HORIZON 6.

@Shinato2024
Really this weekend 🤣
I wish.

@datamonkey
It’s a great game for what it is, been enjoying thank you.

Was think of playing FH 4 or 5.
But no, will save myself for FH6 go in fresh.

Getting early Access vibes now 🤣

Pragmata slowly getting there 100%
Also downloaded Farcry 6, fancied ago as we not anything like this for a while.
Seems refreshing after so long.

@Fiendish-Beaver
I think you summed it up perfectly.
Additionally I’m sure console world belongs to Sony and Nintendo now and moving forward, even if you include Helix as a console, 10 million sold max is about right.

@themightyant
If profits are high then you could lower price and make less profit. But if you sell more because of the lower price you could still make the same amount of profit, overall.

I know it’s me, but all these firms are doing people big time. Not just gaming all the firms, food and petrol, the lot.

@themightyant
I was hoping they would be ready and help bring the shortages down along with the price a bit.

I get very cynical and believe there is a lot of profiteering going on.

You see food and fuel prices go up and 3 months later company profits are massive.

The same in the gaming world and electronics market.

Didn’t the USA start building a massive chip factory after the Covid chip situation.
Must be ready by now.

@carlos82
Yes I did see they are re-releasing the NeoGeo and some games.
It also works with the original cartridges as well.
Would be nice to see the Helix in action etc and what it can do. They probably know by now.

Lego DLC for FH6 please like FH4 had.
Best FH DLC ever.

Yay 🎉 lets get Helix out and in the mix, I’m all for it come on Xbox let’s get stuff done.

I’m on the verge of getting a big powerful PC, but still on the fence.

With recent console price increases switch 2 as well now, I’m beginning to think I’m back in my Neo-Geo days 🤣

I just need those big ole book like cartridges.

Brand awareness and what gamers and the public want.
Great games and great value, especially value at the moment, in gaming world.

Market your consoles plus points and game pass plus’s points and your great New games coming.

The hardware and controller are great
Game pass is great value.

So get great games out and marketing.

@Millionski
I was thinking that the new lower base would become next generation the series x and PS5. Then Helix and PS6 for those that want to splash the cash and have the top end gaming on consoles.

The way the world is going, we will only be able to afford essentials to life.

This is a lot better than the current one.

As you mentioning waiting for Helix for this new boot up.
Current generation will be around for a very long time and cross generation games, probably for all of next generation.

It’s all becoming very expensive for very diminishing returns. People are not parting with their cash so easily so I think they will continue to make the series x at least available for a good while after the more expensive Helix releases.

Really enjoyed the single player campaign the game play etc was spot on, along with control mechanics etc.

However the game fell short and should have been the reimagined Halo, like BOTW was to Zelda.

And should have shot the series to new highs and levels. Such a missed opportunity.

@Millionski
They all get roasted from time to time and probably deserve it sometimes.

I was just trying to give some direction for Xbox to become a name in gaming like Nintendo overall.

Actually I really don’t know how they can recover at all being honest.
But let’s see how they can do and how it goes.
I hope it goes well as more competition the better.

You simply need to get back to making great games, probably new great IP as well.

Just look at Nintendo with DKB for Switch 2, big new IP with 91 on meta and selling well.

Also make new developments or reboots of existing franchises, like Zelda went to BOTW and TOTK.

You don’t have to look far, to see some amazing examples of what is required. If you wish to increase hardware, software and probably gamepass sales.

It is all about the games to start with then PR and engagement with gamers and general public and then keep the games rolling in and marketing and get noticed again.

For Love or Money I still can’t think where Xbox growths areas actually are, especially after last quarter’s results.

It won’t be in hardware even with Helix.
I don’t think it will be in game pass, unless they offer it to Sony and Nintendo as well.

So software yes, if you continue to sell on Sony and Nintendo as well, the games those gamers want, like FH5 did very well.

Maybe mobile phone gaming.

That’s me done.

There are many good reasons I have always bought consoles.
For me it’s the games on that console, so mainly exclusives and single player games as I’m not a big online player.

Not sure where this puts the current Xbox offering and even Helix, with currently exclusives not being the thing.

I mean Xbox have so many studios they should be dominating or near top.
I think game pass was their golden ticket but it didn’t really work for console sales, so they had to something else with those massive studio investments.
