@elpardo1984 for me the format was based on showing the games without the usual talking heads etc but either way the outcomes the same - we need more games
@Cherip-the-Ripper absolutely, I normally play a little earning the cards in game but with the career, seasons online and whatever the extra mode happens to be (volta seems to be here to stay for now) there's plenty to keep me entertained
A big fat zero. The ps5 would be my main console with the series x used for gamepass only and even then I've been thinking of cancelling it. Xbox really need to pick up their game quick..
@el_pieablo it's really easy bud, retro arch is a available as a download so no modding to do, it had been only available through the developer mode which was a paid subscription but it's now available for free. Plenty of tutorial videos on utube which is what I followed
Very poor so far this year for me and was thinking of cancelling my sub for a bit too. Was going to cancel in March but wanted to play Gotg but hasn't been anything else since
@Rural-Bandit I do agree with what you say although the ps1 & ps2 had huge exclusives from 3rd party developers like Namco and Konami that shifted systems like nobody's business. I fell for the ps1 after seeing ridge racer play in the window of my local dixons and queued in line for the launch π
@Richnj to be fair you're right but isn't that where the appeal is? You say xbox has plenty of games which is true but your talking about the multi platform games so when your factor in their exclusives they become more attractive don't they? Don't get me wrong I'm an xbox fan but I must admit only with gamepass as I haven't bought a game so far and tend to play multi plat games on ps5
@Richnj because its what sells consoles? Exclusives have always been incredibly important in the 'console wars' and no matter what any executive implys the war is still going on. I'm a series x owner (along with the rest) but it's clear that Microsoft is still aways away from the other 2. The acquisitions are a great start but I think they need to go for a sega or square to really resonate with the proper gamer...
Mine Storm on the Vectrex was the first game I played as the local video store rented out the Vectrex. First game I owned was Dig Dug on the 2600 in 83, still love that game
The rsident evil Kitchen demo in vr properly made me jump. It was my first vr experience and after nervously looking around the room her hands came over my head and I squealed like a little girl, good times π
Thought the graphics were a little blurry during the opening scenes but during play seemed fine, did have an odd bug were Ronaldo floated a few feet off the ground during his celebration but the man's a god so assumed it was on purpose π

Re: Xbox Developer Direct: Aaron Greenberg Thanks Fans For Praising 'Perfect' Format Of The Show

Re: Pick One: Which Is Your Favourite EA Sports Series To Play On Xbox Right Now?

Re: Talking Point: What's Your Favourite Thing About Xbox Series X|S After Two Years?
Emulation, playing ps2 games on xbox is great although I guess it shows how little new content there is on the system...

Re: Xbox Series S Just Outsold Both PS5 Models In Japan
@SplooshDmg it had a blu ray player though which was huge at the time, nobody wanted that stupid little add on that xbox offered...

Re: Red Dead Redemption Remake And RDR2 Next-Gen Reportedly In Development
Red dead 1 looks fantastic in 4k on series x but would still be up for a remake. 2 should just be a free ps5 upgrade but unlikely with RS
