I'm receiving in two or three days a headset I discovered on this very website : the Turltle Beach Stealth 700 gen 2. I'm also planning on getting immediately the Dolby Atmos application. Until now, I was just playing with my TV sound (good 4K picture, but very crappy sound, like many modern TVs). So I'm sure I'll be amazed right away by the difference in-game (and also when I'll be whatching movies).
I've bought it, day one. But I didn't put the disc in my console. Not yet.
I'll install the game in three or four months. Ironically, when I'll decide myself to use the disc, it will probably not copy any data from it. Everything will be downloaded, I guess.
It's the best month since what seems to be an eternity.
I'm particulary excited about KOFXIII : I already have it on PS3 but I was seriously looking for an xbox 360 copy in order to play it on my Series X. No need to find one anymore, that's great.
And this offer should naturally boost the number of players avalaible online, which is great !
@Captain_Chao5 As I wrote in another post, I chose to support them. And I am genually excited about this game. I wanted to play it day one but what I read here and there made me reconsider.
But I keep my game, I know CD Project and they will fix all this mess. I trust these guys, really.
@sandman89 I understand what you say, but it's not just for the support.
This game was on top of my most anticipated games for years, now.
I was really looking for it. I really think (and I could be mistaken) that this is an exceptionnal game.
I love CD project, I love how they treat their fans, their players. They constatly update their titles, they bring free DLCs, and they work their stories.
And I really think they did put their best efforts into this project.
This project needs to succeed for them. And more importantly, in my opinion, it deserves to succeed.
But yes, the game is still in beta, at this point. Or it seems to be.
And Internet has made its point about it. And that's a fair point.
I think the guys who made them rush it for christmas understand now that maybe it was a bad call.
The game should have had four or five more months, and ditch the PS4 and Xbox One versions.
It's a mess, I know. They know it too. But I'm confident they'll fix that in no time.
@BAMozzy Hey pal, just for the information, what platform are you using to play the game ? One X or Series X ?
I just bought the game yesterday, cause I wanted to support the developper, but I'm going to wait at least a month to launch it (I'm playing on Series X).
I'm not sure I will have the patience to wait until the real "next-gen" update, but at least a couple of patchs should render the experience smoother...
I believe in CD projet. It is obvious that the game was rushed to be launched before christmas. But at this stage, actual players are beta-testers, no less.
I'm sure this will be a glorious experience to play... in six months ^^
The screenshots posted in the Inside Infinite article are just gorgeous. 343 is doing an outstanding job to deliver the best game possible, I'm sure of it.
Still one of the best "time travel" stories ever told, in my opinion. The all script is so clever, it avoids brillantly pretty much all of the common mistakes we use to encounter in this type of stories.
I've got my share of save issues, too. I'm being really carefull now on how I quit the game. But even so, it can sometimes make me do the same mission all over again...
At this point, I think the most likely to happen is a partnership like "All Sega games directly into the gamepass" or, why not, a new Sonic game exclusive to Xbox, cause developped secretly by one of Xbox Studios. I think whatever it is, it's something planned to be announced during the game awards.
Thank you for this great review ! Was looking for a headset myself and didn't know where to start looking.
You can be sure I'm gonna order this one to Santa Claus (using your link as a "thank you", off couse) !
No kidding : I'm playing Dead or Alive 6. I've missed this one on Xbox One for obvious reasons, but the Series X combo "HDR - 4K - 60 fps" made me give it a try.
And this is a blast, really. This game, in this version, is just fantastic. This is next-gen fighting at its best. With a two-years old game.
I love it. I love how the Series X naturraly improve some games from the previous generations. It's just brillant.
The game can now be played in 4K at 60 fps (on One X, the 4K mode was struggling to attain 30 fps, so we were condamend to play on 1080p for the 60 fps).
Without any patch, the game looks more next-gen than ever.
I'm still convinced that there is something related to Sonic going on with this one. I mean... come on ! "Still icONIC" ? What's going on, here ? ^^
Anyway, it's a great controler. What I love the most about it, and what I didn't notice at first, is that the buttons being all plain blue, there is a little color sheme at the center of the XYAB buttons... it's just a detail, but it's a neat one.
Got my brand new Series X with a shockblue controler (love this color !) , Watch Dogs Legion and Assassin's Creed. Yeah, thanks to Ubisoft for saving this launch from the delay of Halo Infinite
I really believe in Forza for 2021, cause I think with gamepass growing up in popularity, the game will go "the service way" full speed.
It will be released with a limited number of cars and tracks, (but with awesome graphics) and more and more will be added every "season".
I really think there won't be another Forza game after that, not on this generation at least. It will be a self growing game, another way to keep gamepass users fed regulary.
For me it's simple : don't let more than one preorder by person, and to avoid bots, you have to provide something like a copy of your ID card, or something.
This is the main reason why I chose to buy a Series X first, over the Playstation 5.
The unity of the Xbox ecosystem is very, very important to me. I still play (and discover) some Xbox originals on my One X and I intend to continue to do so on my Series X.
@Peach64 She said in the video that they apparently made three of them. They sent one to Snoop, one to iJustine, and apparently the third one is to win by anyone in a contest or something...
Well, basically, the "Platinum" formula is surely going to be equivalent to the "All-Acces"s offering. That's a 35 bucks per months to keep you up to date, hardware speaking.
And if we do the maths, that could mean that an updated Series X will come in two years, or around that. Cause the All Access offering is a 24 months contract...
So let's flash-forward. Let's say in two years, I've finished to pay my Series X. So my payment will now be 13 bucks per months (just for the Gamepass ultimate) vs the 35, more or less, that I've been paiying for the past two years.
And just now, Microsoft says to me : "Or... you could continue to pay 35 bucks and get this brand new piece of hardware ! What do you say ?"
It's curious that they need an update, thought, cause I was thinking that backward compatibility with One's titles was a native feature of the Series consoles. Anyway, this game truly rocks, so I'm glad I'll be able to continue my combo journey on Series X !
Oh, and Microsoft should really, really clarify now this All Access offer. Even the shop where I did the reservation still don't know how it's gonna happen.
@Bartig How can you forgot what most fans consider a real and proper treason form the developpers ? As far as I'm concerned, I absolutely loved what they did with this character (I don't want to spoil it here, for all the falks who didn't play it yet). The final cliffhanger was just awesome.
And the first trailer for Inifinite... when we see Chief checking its memory card in FPS... "No IA detected" What a tease for all the fans...
Anyway, Halo 5 is one of my favorites with Reach and 3. And the original, off couse. And the... god I just love this series.
@Mckilmer The new Assassin's Creed trailer was representative of what we'll get on next-gen (so, Series X for sure). And i'm with you on it : it litterally blew me away.
What really surprised me was how well they improved the faces of the characters. The female protagonist just looks so cool, now !
And the lightning in the backgrounds was just amazing, in my opinion. This is a game that will truly shines on our new systems !
My guess is it's the new plan for Halo Infinite. Thinking that for a while, now. Making it exclusive to the Series consoles (and PC, off course) to make it look greater, and bringing it to the One (cause they promised it will be avalaible on it) by cloud gaming.
That could really work. In my opinion, that would be a win / win situation.

Re: These 3 Games Are Leaving Xbox Game Pass Today (Dec 30)
@gollumb82 As I Understand it, it's now a first party title, even if it's multiplatform.
So it won't leave the program.

Re: Site News: Thank You For Your Fantastic Support In 2020
Best website for Xbox enthousiasts. Period.
I was already a big fan of Push Square and Nintendolife, but I couldn't find a website of that level for anything related to Microsoft Games.
And then, you came back.
What an amazing work you have done, this year.
Congratulations, pals. Keep up the good work !
Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Studio CD Projekt Might Face Class-Action Lawsuits
It has to be a lesson for future projects. And for all compagnies.
This is the end of the "day one patch" road.
GAMES HAS TO BE FINISHED ON THE DISC THAT IS BEING SOLD TO CUSTOMERS. Period.
I love CDP. I have a copy of the game, not asking refound. I trust them to fix the damn thing.
But this logic has to end.
Finish your games before putting them out in stores, man.

I'm glad the patches are coming so quickly, but I'm definitly going to wait a little longer.
I want to play the game when it is finished and complete. I'm not a beta-tester ! xD

Re: Review: Cyberpunk 2077 - Packed With Potential, But Desperately In Need Of Some TLC
I've got the game. Right here, in my hand. Still in its box.
It's a nice box.
But I'm gonna wait a while before inserting the disc in my Series X.
At least sixt months, I think.
I'll play it when the full "next-gen" patch will be applied.

Re: CDPR Rolls Out Hotfix For Cyberpunk 2077, Reduces 'Risk Of Inducing Epileptic Symptoms'
@BAMozzy Thanks for sharing your experience !
So now I'm sure I'm gonna wait to play it - just like you, I have a backlog which seems to be infinite, so it won't be a problem.
I will wait till the Series X proper update shows off.
Re: Halo Infinite Fans Call For Xbox One Version To Be Cancelled Amid Cyberpunk Debacle
Xcloud for PC and TVs will be avalaible by then. We could think that an app directly made for Xbox consoles will be there, too.
So the game will still be avalaible for One users.
But in streaming.
Hope so.

Re: Get A Free Copy Of Halo 5: Guardians With Monster Energy
Halo 5 is so underrated. Its multiplayer is brillant, one of the best in the series, and its campaign is just awesome in terms of story.
The ending just got me stunned. It was so powerfull. So bold. So emotionnal. I was so desperate to see what was coming next.
And next is... Halo Infinite, off course !

Re: Watch Dogs: Legion Runs At 4K, 30FPS On Xbox Series X & PS5
I just cannot decide between this and Assassin's Creed. Those two games look so damn good.
Ok, being totally honnest, it's gonna be Assassin's Creed for me. But Watch Dogs also seems so sweet.
I don't understand Ubisoft to launch those two great games together, at the same time.
I'll probably get Watch Dogs later, then.
