@ilyn ya... Halo Infinte easily. South of Midnight. Sony has had 3 or 4 glaring examples

No earlier than 2029, Bethesda development is notoriously slow and I would not be surprised if they feel the pressure to develop something substantial.

I also have NO faith in them anymore, at all. Starfield and it's DLCs were lacking in nearly every measurable gaming metric.

That engine is going to provide all of the same game breaking features it always does... and that they can not fix

This game looks really fun, I simply don't have the time for it.

Which sucks, gaming choices are insane right now

@asdfghjklz I enjoy collecting physical games and it's important for me to support the studios with direct purchases.

That way I've also got time to finish it, usually playing 2-3 games at a time

I couldn't take it anymore, i finally ordered it off SAMS Club for 63$

Really excited to fire up the Series X, havn't played on it in 15 months

This is pretty exciting news!
Though I have to say, even though I can afford it, I'm drowning in games I want to play and upgrading will need to wait a bit next gen.

I love my Pro, Series X, next week my S2. I've got an OG SteamDeck that still purrs along nicely and a PSVR2 that I've just barely dipped my toes in.

Will be the 1st generation I won't jump straight into, gonna be fun to watch though

Part of the problem is that the term AI is broadbrushed into a Frankenstein Mashup of 30 different public interpretations....

A VERY LOUD minority attaches social media hysterics to every single mention of it, minimizing any rational discourse

@FraserG So she's jettisoned side studios, and reduced the main teams.
Last month? She said Xbox needs to rely on its core franchises.
She literally moved some of the best studio for original IPs into Fallout

She's treating this like a division where market shifts can be adjusted to in weeks.... instead of the years it takes for game development

I'm still waiting on the sidelines until I see some sort of consistency

Doesn't that contradict everything she's done?

In my case, I've simply got too much i want to play right now.
I'm definitely getting this, but probably closer to Christmas or a small discount on Black Friday

Do wonder if some games might have longer trails due to the gluttony of amazing games

I still find it bizarre to call COD/ WoW/ Diablo-Xbox studios.
Crazy how much the purchase changed everything

@Banjo- Ya, but without context it's pretty misleading
With a large GP audience, you've going to see a much smaller install base download a MUCH larger percentage of games and they have been proven to do so and it greatly skews the numbers .
Statistics when presented that vaguely are shallow, don't hold much merit.
Like showing off " hours played" vs " units moved".

@Mr-Cage Or, they cover video games. You people looking for things that aren't there are ridiculous...... seriously

You'd be shocked at how much coverage PC Gamer covers Playstation, they must be wink wink something something 🙄

@Fiendish-Beaver Excited to hear your take when you get a chance.

Enjoy gaming bliss man!

So freaking cool, it's stuff like this is why I've kept my X.
Xbox has been a mess this gen, but they do on occasion get lucky like this

Really bummed out this isn't coming to ps5 pro.... Really appreciating just how good games look on it, PSSR2 is impressive.
Still excited to see reviews, might get around Christmas

Being massively disappointed in the Halo remake...... no, please no

Just make a great Halo again

It really could be, as there were mountains of ideas that were not good in the 1st game

It's fanbase will all be 85-90 years old by the time it launches though

I know it makes sense on paper, to merge these two studios....

But I feel like they are trying to brute force the square peg into the triangle hole.

I have ENORMOUS concerns relative to how Obsidian was efficiently run and the mess that is Bethesda game studios

@Mr-Cage I think it makes sense, PS fans have not personally experienced the decline of Halo and only see it through the lense of " COD=Bad"

I'm relatively new to Halo, but Infinite and Halo remake were so remarkably underwhelming compared to the Master Chief collection I'm genuinely glad this happened

Glad 343/Halo studio...was dismantled, awful studio.... I'm actually glad Activision will call the shots which I never thought I'd want.

Also merging the most productive studio in Obsidian with the mess that is Bethesda worries me greatly- Who's going to oversee that???
Todd has shown he doesn't manage multiple large projects well, please, please have Obsidian management take over.

**Side note, who in their right mind would get into Game Development as it stands??

That Mad World trailer left me so incredibly jealous as a PS nerd. Gears was just different, never went through an E3 debating my gaming choices.....

Adored KillZone and Resistance though, it worked out

@Sindayl I read it, I'm sorry I did. It's pseudo intelligent nonsense. Long worded nothings.

@DarkTron
Oh for pete sake....... It's mentioned repeatedly that it's not the most credible rumor BUT it also has hints of being plausible because of the sources.

The lack of critical thinking/ reading comprehension in modern times bums me out/ or the desire to live life being as thick as possible.....

@FraserG

I appreciate it, nothing wrong with exploring and discussing the odd rumor.

I am not on ResetEra, or any of the social media heavy hitters so I enjoy reading the thoughts of Xbox fans

🤷‍♂️

@Fiendish-Beaver

It's crazy how much quality stuff has been released this year.
Plus you've got anniversaries for Xbox, 40 years for Nintendo- Got the controller for Xbox and pre-ordered OoT console, and pro controller and case for Nindy
Seems like all the new games are releasing killer Steelbooks

I have a vague idea how much I've spent...... ha ha

Blizzard animation still has the chops, CGI for StarCraft was good stuff.

Little concerned though, feels like they've tried this FPS thing before with a cancelation or two

@Balaam_
Good grief man, everything is not good enough for you.
Your OCD has completely skewed how you view things.
Therapy helps, it really does

@PSGamer69420

??...... okay

Both sites have their diehards, what's to defend?

@Fiendish-Beaver

That is banger line up you've got planned out!
The crescendo building up to the finale that is E-Day- hope you enjoy it all

I think 50 hours for a RPG to complete the quest, check the corners everywhere and hit most sidequests sounds perfect.

Definitely going to wait on reviews though the footage from Gamescom has left me a little leery.....

@DragThemSklountz

Honestly figured that was well known by now...........
It's been reported on quite a bit, as you said a quick Google gives you the actual time frame.

It's pretty freaking stupid how stupid people can intentionally be, stupid

@Lysterao Hadn't thought about that, good point.

Holy hidden loading screens........ and for a plain rocky cave system

Enemy variety was lacking, honestly combat looked a bit one note

I'm still excited, can't lie that this did dampen my expectations

@Kraven Man, that's a heck of a lineup...
Too many great looking games, so little time 😵

@FraserG Thank you for the link! Ordered it to sit next to my Xbox DOOM Controllers-

Always find these stores kind of weird....

Are they actually moving enough products for this to be viable or do they know it's a tax write off if they donate it all to Mogadishu?

Been doing the same for E- Day, but giving it until Christmas or so.
Def not going to conver it all, but will be a nice financial cushion for the next 6 months which are just bonkers for releases

@Mr-Cage Ha ha, would drive me crazy seeing any dust or animal fur in there, taunting me. Knowing I'd have to open it up to clean it. 😅

Boy, I just can't get on board with that console design...
The controller looks great, but applying it to the console just looks tacky

@BacklogBrad

They openly explained their small art team couldn't get the project right and so had AI help them... sounds pretty reasonable..Right?

Or is it AI=

@Mr-Cage okay....

Ugh, that's a dream lineup....

I get the feeling it probably won't happen?

Too many licensed IPs worth a lot of money and it's Disney/ "Sonys" Spiderman

@RiverGenie Bought 2x day one on Xbox and PS.
It was certainly wonky at release but I still sunk 300 hrs in the first time round.

The atmosphere/ambiance may be the the very best I've ever experienced by a lot.
Man my blood pressure was probably through the roof my 1st playthrough- absolutely surreal with high end headphones/ sound system

Man I love this game

@fatpunkslim
It is, even if it sometimes feels forced

Sony have been wearing their own top of the line noise canceling headphones for the last 5 years while not looking up from texting their shareholders

SONY;

@FreasurePlanten

Good catch😂

Thanks @FraserG

@Tasuki Just sent that Nintendo Life review to my daughter- exactly her speed of games for Switch

Once she stops her 14th Skyrim tinkering

@Old_Man_Harper
Guess that does read funny, I was replying about Outerworlds 2 DLC not Grounded
That DLC SEEMS LIKE it may never come out
