Silent Hill 2. I bought the OG Xbox because I heard it looked better and had extras that were not on PS2. My 2nd game was Halo CE. My 3rd game was John Carpenter's The Thing.
Playstation had a similar deal with Destiny when it first came out. Even though I knew it is and was on both consoles i still think of it more as a Playstation game than a Xbox game. It still feels better on the PS5 than it does the Series X. BF might be a similar deal.
I want audio passthru for all apps and games. I would rather my Yamaha decode it in the proper format. Upmixing 5.1 games for Atmos doesn't sound near as good as actually having Atmos in game.
I like the fact that it stands out and lets you know which system you are buying it for. It might clash a bit with the rest but it is better than buying a Xbox One game only to get it home and find out it is a Series X only title. I'm sure in a year or so we'll be getting more games made just for the new consoles.
@mousieone I run a 5.2.2 dolby atmos system and the PS5 not supporting it is the reason I started playing 3rd party titles on the Series X. The best the PS5 can put out is dolby 5.1 or 7.1 and that doesn't compare to dolby atmos. The only thing I've played since I got the PS5 is Miles Morales and that's because it can't be played on the Series X. Their propriety 3d audio sucks.
Halo Infinate on the Series X and Horizon Forbidden West on the PS5 are the 2 titles I'm looking forward to the most. In the meantime I'm playing Mass Effect Legendary Edition on the Series X.
@Olivotec @BleedingDreamer it looks like a different game at 60fps now I got a reason to play it again. I'm not a Far Cry fan but I really enjoyed Far Cry 5 it was one of my favorites last generation.
I have a Scorpio Edition Xbox One X controller that started having drift problems within 2 hours of owning the system. It now just sits on display beside the Scorpio Edition Xbox One X.
Game Pass is a good value. I got 2 years packed in with my Series X. People with Game Pass tend to buy more games, I guess it is good for 3rd party titles that rotate out of the service. People get to test the game before they buy it and you get a discount when you do. That is the only reason why i think it is sustainable in the long term.
I have a Yamaha AVR and have a 5.1.2 speaker setup and have no problems. You would think it would be easy for them to solve any sync issues with just a TV or maybe they just don't want too.
All of those studios and any real triple A exclusives are still probably years away. I keep hoping they have something tucked away in secret that is nearing completion.
If you want dolby atmos for your games you need to have the app installed. You don't need it installed for movies it just passes it thru to your avr but for some reason for your games that doesn't happen.

Re: Two New Dynamic Backgrounds Are Now Available On Xbox Series X|S
The 360 has some sweet premium backgrounds. I miss my Fallout 3 background I had for my 360.

Re: Here's Every Game That Supports Dolby Vision & Atmos On Xbox So Far
Does the Dolby Atmos work the same way it does for blurays that support Atmos or do you still need that app installed to get Atmos?

Re: Phil Spencer Says Xbox 'Doesn't Want To Take Away' Physical Games
DRM only hurts the consumer. If someone is determined to play a game without paying for it they will find away around the DRM.

Re: Get Ready, Dolby Vision Support Is Coming To Games On Xbox Series X
@Scenes I've never had that problems. There should be a tab that says Audio Sync or something similar to that effect in the settings.
