Pity I can't use my 360 disc to get this.

It's like they want it to die...

This better not screw with the artistic intention like Anniversary did.

I loved this track in FM1. Point to point tracks have always been such a missed opportunity too.

It's like they want sales to be even more dismal than they already are.

That's a no from me chief. I miss the N64 Rareware days.

Massive yawn. This gen has been rather poor, at least for PS5 and Xbox Series. Other than a very few standout titles I've just been spending more of my time playing Switch and PC games. And really the only thing Xbox is doing for me considering I game on PC, is playing older stuff I've got cheap, or going back to old back compat stuff.

Looks nice. Not £70 nice though, especially when normal ones can be had for £35/40.

Get rid of ads on the home screen, how about that you greedy *****.

@BAMozzy Might as well get the complete edition for another £4.50 then if Blood and Wine is really that good.

Surprised how many people are whining about this in the comments, defending the companies choice to include a blank disc with just an activation key on it.

What's the point in a physical edition that doesn't include the game? Oh no the game is big... So put it on 2 discs? Put it on 3? Blu ray discs are dirt cheap, no reason why not to put the complete game on there. That's the entire point of physical, not to put the disc in and have it then download the 120GB game or how ever big it is.

And for the very few living out in rural towns with their 5mb internet, I bet they'd much prefer it to actually be on the disc instead of a painfully long download.

Guaranteed 30fps. Even on the PS5 Pro it will be 30, just with a higher dynamic res. The GPU boost aint gonna fix the mid end 2019 CPU.

Will have to wait for PC release to play it in 60. And watch that end up taking an extra year again.

Only reason I bought the Series X is it was the limited edition Halo Infinite one that came with the game and looked nice, and I wanted better back compat for old Xbox 360 and Xbox games compared to my One X. The only Series X games I have on it are ones that were dirt cheap in sales. For everything else it has I'd rather play the PC version. So no, absolutely not. And their handheld plans sound completely unappealing to me too.

We're losing against PS5 laughably. What can we do to make things better?

Price increase?

Why Bob, that's a great idea!

I'm liking it, perf isn't as good as expected considering I'm using DLSS and it doesn't look at detailed as something like Horizon Forbidden West. In caves and stuff it's fine, but in overworld it drops under 60 some times. Also not too fond of how various lush forests look a bit brown. There's reshade mods that help, but they then ruin the look in caves and buildings n stuff, and I don't wanna keep turning it on and off, so I've kept the contrast settings on that make it look better but not the colour altering ones.

Still missing console to console remote play. Since 2020 I've been able to stream my PS5 in my bedroom to my PS4 in the living room. Yet nearly 4 and a half years later I can't stream my Series X in my bedroom to my Xbox One X in the living room. Sucks.

Gonna be funny when this thing launches and fails to get anywhere near Steam Decks sales. And Steam Deck sales are tiny compared to Switch. Xbox has felt like an aimless brand for over a decade now.

@Residentsteven You mean you didn't play the Xbox One's killer app? Peggle 2!

@Residentsteven Funny, 5 was rushed for X-One launch and is probably the worst one. Well, except maybe this, but at least they're trying to fix this one.

@GuyinPA75 Yes, it was awesome. I loved point to point races too, more interesting than doing laps of a track.

FM4 track? It was in the original game, hence 20 years. FM4 didn't come out 20 years ago did it?

It's been a quiet year.

@RiverGenie I'm not saying it's a bad thing, just that it's taken them this long and it only looks ok. Random people managed to do this years ago on the pc version and have it look better. I guess I just expected more.

@RiverGenie You think this update is coming to all versions of minecraft? Well I'm Sure PS Vita, PS3, Xbox 360, Wii U and more owners will be very excited.

Nice edit lol.

Looks no where near as good as fabric loader mods though. Meh.

If the Rare staff of 1998 made it, sure. Today's staff? Hell no.

I rarely use my Series X. I only really got it for better BC of old games. Even then I think it's about 80% full. Ain't no way I'm buying their abhorrently overpriced external drives.

Given 90% of what's installed isn't Series enhanced, I could just connect an old spare SSD in a USB enclosure I suppose.

Should probably mention you need a gamepass sub to get the discounts. Gear.Club is still 24.99 for me.

@GeorgeKal There's valid excuses for the Series S problems, namely 7.5GB of usable RAM for games. It's the reason BG3 lost its split screen. Seems to be the reason for no Black Myth too. Switch 2 with 12GB, which might have 10GB available to games, is already at an advantage there. The other being it's probably only PS4 level in GPU power, so games will have to be scaled down a lot more, thus needing even less RAM.

I'd enjoy it a lot more in 60fps, after playing the old as hell Mario Kart 8, going to this is... disappointing. Pity there was no PC version, or at least a current gen patch to bump the framecap to 60.

Gone back to £1.99 now.

@BIG3 Some are, and are decent fun playing with a friend or two. Others are a bit crap, and they removed the forsaken campaign a few years ago, which prompted me to never buy anything full priced from them ever again anyway. I think buying the forsaken pack now just unlocks some weapons from it instead.

Anyway you're best looking at reviews for the dlc to decide. After all being cheap doesn't mean it's worth it if something is bad.

I kinda feel like playing Anthem again. The story was a mess but the gameplay was quite fun. And it has an fps boost mode so you can play in 60. On the other hand that mode is only in 900p. Wonder how cheap I can get it on steam instead.

Horizon 2 had the best map easy. Pity it never came to PC so it's stuck in 1080p30. At least 3 came to PC, has a good map, and runs at 4k60 on a potato.

To the game, not "to xbox"
Your title implies this update was only released for the xbox versions of the game.

@munstahunta 1800p, not 1080p.

Standby. I don't wanna turn it on for it to say a game needs a 40GB update before I can play. Unfortunately it often doesn't update games in standby despite being set to.

@RiverGenie That's why all digital machines piss me off more. Xbox is pushing this, and if you didn't get the game before it's delisted then screw you ey? No thanks. If a console doesn't have some method of using physical media I ain't interested. Cause of crap like this, and when some digital copies remain stubbornly high priced yet the physical copy is dirt cheap.

I bet the Xbox handheld will be digital only, no cart slot like the Switch.

@RiverGenie There's a bunch of racing games from the last 10 years that haven't been delisted either. But I have noticed a few times certain brands being missing, so maybe that's why.

Yet there's tons of far older games loaded with cars that don't get delisted. How bout the licence the cars for the life of the game instead of just a few years.

Already had it on Steam so don't care. I take it it's still 30fps crap? God consoles are stupid sometimes.

Still abhorrently overpriced. I paid £67 for a 2TB WD M.2 from Aliexpress for my PS5 and it's been great.

The vast majority of people I know don't give a toss about cloud gaming, and the rest outright dislike it. It's weird seeing them trying to push this so hard. Like they want Xbox to just exist as a Gamepass Ultimate subscription where you own nothing... No thanks.

It wasn't actually native 720p on the 360, I guess with the rush to have it ready for launch they couldn't optimise it more, so it was 1024x600 with some rough aliasing around the cars. Still it was a leap back then and I remember thinking it looked gorgeous. I hooked up my 360 to my portable OLED monitor and I still thought some of it looked decent. Then I put in PGR4 and say a good difference. Actual 720p, better textures, details, reflections, those rain effects. It's a real pity you can't just put these in the XSX and play it in 4k60 like you can with the odd game.

@Ricky-Spanish Hey if you can enjoy it, great. I think it's polishing a turd.

Are people actually interested in this? I had it on Saturn way back when, it sucked compared to Spyro, Banjo, Mario 64 etc. I don't see a remaster fixing the boring gameplay.

@trev666 It's a launcher containing 3 games.

@trev666 Cause the question is which is your favourite game, not collection of games.
