Five years later, and we haven't seen any gameplay at all. I expect it to be yet another game, stuck in development hell, about to be cancelled, any minute now.
I'm having a hard time, getting excited by anything "AAA" , these days. The entire industry is such a mess, that I'm hoping for a spectacular 1983 styled crash again. It does feel like it has begun.
@MrFrosty
Would love for that to happen, as PlayTonic, basically is the old RARE.
Would love for PlayTonic to bring back the classic 80:s IP:s as well.
A new "Wizards and Warriors" and "Jetpac", would make me really happy 😁👍
When it comes to hardware, Xbox started dying during the One generation.
And when Xbox started to release games on PC, then I got rid of the console.
I had high hopes about the Series generation, expecting it to be the big comeback, finally giving Sony some well deserved competition, but that quickly died.
If Xbox kept all their games exclusive to their console, giving everyone a reason to buy one, if they wanted to play Forza, Halo and Gears, then I bet their hardware would have done much better this gen.
Putting their logo on a Quest 3s, just feels pointless, as you're still just streaming the Xbox games on it, just like the regular Quest headset.
Xbox feels like they are changing their gameplan, from day to day...
"Sarah goes on to say how this AMD partnership will deliver "the next generation of graphics innovation" resulting in "a deeper level of visual quality".
Well, that's to be expected from a new generation. And they have used AMD, since Xbox One. I'm keeping my expectations low. This time I'll wait and see what happens, instead of buying on release.
Loved FF16. It was finally a return to a proper FANTASY setting, with none of the sci-fi crap, that most games have suffered from, after FF7. The story is great, and it's more serious in tone, with none of the cringe attempts on comedy, that we usually get in modern JRPG:s. And the English voice acting is excellent. Much better than the mediocre FF15, which I dropped near the end.

Re: Xbox Fan Shares Fresh Dashboard Concept That Cleans Up The Home Screen
I miss when UI's had some style and ambience to it.
Like the OG Xbox:

Re: Talking Point: Are You Excited For Double Fine's Follow-Up To Psychonauts 2?
Might give it a try. Never was a fan of the Psychonauts games though.
Worried it will be more style over substance.

"They care about framerates, performance, and the like."
And THAT is the point of the channel.

@GameOverScreen
They have been called Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo and Nvidia fanboys, depending of what fanboys have been butthurt last time.
Guess you missed all the times they praised the Series hardware and games like Hellblade 2 etc?

It's a channel about doing Tech analysis, not game reviews...
Re: Rare Is Completely Re-Evaluating Its Development Process After Everwild Cancellation
They're gonna be stuck making Sea of Thieves, forever.
Re: Rumour: Xbox Has Multiple Fallout Projects In Development, Including 'One You're All Wanting'

Five years later, and we haven't seen any gameplay at all. I expect it to be yet another game, stuck in development hell, about to be cancelled, any minute now.
Better to be prepared for the worst now.

Re: DOOM Co-Creator Has Funding Pulled For AAA Title, Seemingly By Xbox
@Vipor007
Yeah, they are so filthy rich, that if Xbox dies, the loss, will just be pocket change to them.
Re: DOOM Co-Creator Has Funding Pulled For AAA Title, Seemingly By Xbox
This really pisses me off...
Re: Report: Multiple Industry Veterans To Leave Xbox Studios Amidst Layoffs
Xbox is falling apart, before our eyes.
It depressing to see what happened to the brand I used to love, back in the OG and 360 era...
Gregg Mayles should join PlayTonic, and the reunion of old Rare would almost be complete.

Suuuure.
Re: Xbox Next-Gen Console Plans 'Not Impacted' By Microsoft Layoffs
Just build a PC instead.
And no, you don't need to spend $3000 to build a good gaming PC, more capable or equal to consoles.
I'll continue my combo, of PC and a Nintendo console.
Haven't even turned on my PS5 in months.
Re: Rumour: Xbox Boss Phil Spencer Could Step Down After Next-Gen Console Launch
Should have been fired a long time ago.
And yeah, I don't have any faith in Sarah either.
Re: Two More Xbox Games Are Being Cancelled, Including Perfect Dark
Why am I not surprised?
Next on the chopping block, "Fable"?
Re: Xbox Layoffs Begin As Phil Spencer Shares Internal Microsoft Gaming Update
I hope studios says NO, if asked to being bought by Microsoft. Just like with EA, it's just like digging your own grave.

Re: Xbox Data Shows 'Most' Console Owners Are Playing On Other Devices As Well, Says Exec
I only play Xbox on my PC, at the moment.
Might change if I get a new PC handheld in the future.

Re: Two More Xbox First-Party Games Are Getting 'Code In A Box' Physical Releases In 2025
What's the point of these "physical" releases?
It's just a waste of plastic...
Re: Reaction: Xbox Games Showcase 2025 Was Just OK, But Next Year Should Be Amazing
Not many games, for my taste.
Ninja Gaiden 4 is the only one that excites me.
Is it just me, getting annoyed by the humor, in modern western developed games? Like the attempt of this in Outer World 2 and High on Life?
