Microsoft making a pro would be absolutely pointless, when they do little to no marketing, and when most consumers seem happy buying a series S over an X...
I have a series X and a switch, and play a lot of older games on my series X. I just don't see the huge benefit not on marginally improved graphics... its such marginal returns...
genuinely interested to see this 'biggety generational leap' that xbox talk about with the next console!!
and (without sounding like an arse) money isn't a big issue (as a single grown up without kids!)... but if my xbox backlog was smaller I'd buy a ps5 for the exclusives. but I would buy a standard ps5, 100%. I could buy a ps5 digital and most of the exclusives I want to play for less than the £830 the pro costs with a disk drive and a stand!
without reading all the comments... there would be no point when Xbox are already supporting series X, series S and (in many cases) xbox one. yet another model would make things even most constrained
I've been tempted by a PS5 for a while, not had once since PS2. At least a dozen or so exclusives that I'd love to play, but I just can't bring myself to do it while I still have 40-50 Xbox games on my account ready to play...
But if I did buy a PS it would be a standard digital PS5 for half the price of this thing...
Banjo Kazooie is one of my fave games, but I never played Banjo Tooie when I had an N64... I have it now and still haven't played it, so there. I have no idea why I even started typing this...
reminds me - is Forza Motorsport still 100% online only, or can you play career offline yet? I don't have gamepass and that's the reason I've not paid for the game
looks like such an old game, as in gameplay wise, nothing new, rubbish AI (from gameplay I've seen), drive through fences and trees, bash into cars, etc. Played so many games like this before...
I'd kill for a true successor to Project Gotham Racing
not purchased yet as still have so many other games to play, but not in a rush when they keep adding content like this... looking forward to playing a finished game in another year or two!
Halo. Gears. Forza. Fable... any official announcement of them for PS is the signal for me to stop spending money on Xbox as it'll be the end of the console.
for the amount of effort it must take to produce them, there is no excuse not to have a wider range to choose from, but they're cool. love the halo one
loved LOVED co op and horde gears back in the day. best mate moving overseas soon and we have recently played through lots of gears and halo campaigns, this looks like it'll be the ideal game for us to cross-continent co-op!!
also, isn't it misleading to badge shattered space as a first party xbox GAME, as first party GAMES are day 1 on gamepass. Shattered space DLC is NOT coming to gamepass

Re: Starfield Shattered Space DLC: Release Date, Release Times, Price & Upgrade Details
I really can't wait for this, it's the first Bethesda game I've bought at release and been playing as DLC was released. Absolutely love the game!
Re: Starfield Shattered Space DLC: Release Date, Release Times, Price & Upgrade Details
@Fiendish-Beaver for your sake then, let's hope Todd doesn't keep releasing updates for 10 years, which he had mentioned before!

Re: Like A Dragon: Pirate Yakuza In Hawaii Launches February 2025 On Xbox Series X|S
How do they manage to turn out games so quickly? Makes Bethesda look like a joke
Re: Tony Hawk Confirms He's Working With Activision On 'Exciting' 25th Anniversary Plans
3+4 remaster I think it's safe to say is unanimously what the fans want! Would love that so much, it was a blast playing through 1+2 again this year

Re: Poll: How Much Would You Pay For An Xbox Series X Pro?
I can't see the point. developers have barely scratched the surface of what the Series X can do.
Re: Sony's PS5 Pro Seems Unlikely To Get An Xbox Equivalent This Holiday
@OldGamer999 it SHOULD be £530, as that is about the same as $700...

Re: Lots Of Games Are Reduced By 90% On Xbox This Week (September 3-10)
@Banjo- as a MASSIVE banjo fan, I picked up Yooka-Laylee and was v disappointed. Didn't really look too hard at the sequel, so it's worth a look?
Re: Lots Of Games Are Reduced By 90% On Xbox This Week (September 3-10)
Guardians of the Galaxy is absolutely fantastic, really worth it especially at 80% off!
Re: Free Play Days: Try These Xbox Games For Free (September 5-8)

Re: Roundup: The Reviews Are In For Razer's 'Wolverine V3 Pro' Wireless Xbox Controller

@theduckofdeath misadvertising?
Re: Indiana Jones And The Great Circle Is Playable Three Days Early With Xbox Game Pass Upgrade
play it day 4 with gamepass!
Re: Action RPG 'Atlas Fallen' Is Available Today With Xbox Game Pass (August 22)
Which Tier of Gamepass please?
Re: Reaction: Indiana Jones And The Great Circle's PS5 Announcement Marks A Bold Step For Xbox
Halo. Gears. Forza. Fable... any official announcement of them for PS is the signal for me to stop spending money on Xbox as it'll be the end of the console.
Re: Indiana Jones And The Great Circle Hits Xbox This December, And A PS5 Port Is Officially Coming
fed up. I always buy the wrong thing haha. BSB squarial instead of Sky dish, betamax instead of VHS, Dreamcast... and now Xbox.
(yes I'm old)

Re: Starfield Is Getting New High Frame Rate Options On Xbox Series S
update is live now. 18.5 GB
Re: Starfield's New Land Vehicle Is Out Today, Shattered Space Expansion Arrives Next Month
@abe_hikura it literally says 'free update' in the trailer
and I think shattered space is getting full coverage in one of the xbox presentations this week?
Re: Indiana Jones And The Great Circle Preview - MachineGames' Latest Xbox Adventure Is Looking Whip-Smart
3 months, why bother with an exclusive window at all if it's only 3 months!

Re: Xbox 'End Of Summer' Sale Now Live, 500+ Games Discounted
I finally started mass effect legendary edition yesterday, and am utterly enthralled. an absolute steal at this price
Re: Xbox Will Reportedly Tone Down Its Game Pass Messaging For Call Of Duty: Black Ops 6
'play it day 1 with gamepass' is still rather misleading, as only 1 of the 3 gamepass tiers lets you play it day 1 (if at all)
Re: Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2 - One Of The Best Co-Op Shooters We've Played This Decade

glad I ditched GP ultimate. we are in august and hellblade 2 is it for 2024. truly lacklustre.
Re: Xbox Shares Updated Release Schedule For Major Upcoming Games
as ever with xbox, it's 'next year there will be games'

Re: Xbox Shares Updated Release Schedule For Major Upcoming Games
@Ricky-Spanish sarcasm I assume
