With a smartphone, I can call people, pay my bills, use Bank ID (at least here in Sweden), order online, surf the web, take photos and pictures, watch videos, listen to music, play games etc.
It's a tiny portable computer. They have much more use and functions, than a console.
And you can get a damn good Android for $600. Compare all that, to just a console for $1800.

Re: Analysis Firm Shares Their Sales Estimates For Gears Of War: E-Day

Would have been interesting to have seen a alternate timeline, where Xbox games was only released on console, and Game Pass never happened...

They should at least stop with day 1 releases on the service.
I'm part of the problem, as I only get 1 month of game pass, when a new big first party title is released, and then cancel.
So I only paid $14 (on PC) to play through the game. And I'm not alone, using this strategy, instead of staying subscribed for years.

Insane that they canceled the PS5 version, as it was fully finished and ready to go.
Another fine example of burning money...

Edit: I ended up buying a copy on Steam.
Don't want Coalition to become the next dev to be axed by Microsoft. And I want the franchise to continue, especially after getting back on track with E-Day, after the mediocre part 4 and 5.

Re: GTA 6 Has No Major Xbox Competitors This November, But Nintendo Is Going Against It

Yet another remake from Nintendo.
I expected something much more epic, with an expanded world and more, or changed, dungeon designs, so it would still feel fresh for the ones who have played through it, multiple times, during the last almost 30 years.
The graphics reminds me of those Unreal Engine (almost AI looking) mods. Not a fan of the new uncanny look.

To be honest, I haven't been a fan of any 3D Zelda, since Windwaker. I loved Link Between Worlds though, as I prefer 2D.

Even though I have zero interest in the remake, and GTA6, I'll have enough games to play anyway, with Onimusha and The Blood of Dawnwalker right now, and Silent Hill Townfall, Phantom Blade Zero, Control Resonant, Castlevania etc. etc. coming out later this year. More games, than I have time to play, to be honest.

Can't wait for GTA6 to finally be released, so I don't have to read and hear about it, EVERYWHERE.
...well...until GTA7 restarts the damn cycle

"To be honest, I have a hard time believing this runs on current‑gen consoles. If I didn’t know it was captured on PS5, I would’ve assumed it was PC gameplay on ultra settings."

No this was definitely running on console.
The image was a bit soft, and some of the textures and reflections, was pretty muddy.
Still impressive though.

Re: Rumour: Xbox Still Evaluating Whether Project Helix Will Support Physical Discs

I hope they at least offer an add-on.
As some mention above, it will give Playstation, a well deserved kick in the nuts.

Those 85 procent, Sony mentions, includes ALL digital goods, like DLC and other extra fluff, not just games. And some of the games are only available as digital. So the comparison, is flawed.
I wanna see numbers of, let's say Saros and Spider-Man, digital vs physical.

Re: Obsidian Is The Latest Studio Reportedly Attempting To 'Avoid Closure' At Xbox

Exerion76

For ME, Obsidian haven't made anything worth playing, for a LONG time. Neither Outer Worlds, could keep my interest for more than a couple of hours. They just feel too janky and dated in design. Would probably have enjoyed them more, if they we're released back in 2011.

Another reason for developers to stay independent, instead of being bought by Sony or Xbox.
