Sales have been weak, where are the crazy discounts? 25% off? That’s a sale for ants! You can’t tell me the largest gaming publisher in the world can’t offer games cheaper than steam? I don’t know what they are doing at Microsoft but they aren’t doing the right thing

The next gen Xbox will be an APU anyone can buy and built a pc out of. Once the APU is in the motherboard and the correct amount of ram and NVME is installed you can play all your Xbox games natively on that pc, then you can add a 5080ti and bang your Xbox is now limitless. But whatever

I will wait for the next Xbox before I buy a VR headset, once they confirm the whole Steam crossover etc bit that’s been rumoured, I will get a VR headset and hopefully be able to play on it natively! Peace

Bought System Shock 1 a few months ago played a few hours and really had a great time with it. Recommended to anyone who also enjoyed the bioshock games.

Honestly, the way gaming is going at the moment I am not too excited for the future. Maybe I am growing old? This next Xbox is everything the Series console should have been, but I guess it wasn’t the right time yet. I am down for an Xbox that’s the cross (X get it) box between Console and PC, what it essentially should have always been. If the specs are great and the launch games are truly next gen (no cross gen stuff), I’d be willing to splash 499 for it. I can only imagine what’s been cooking up from their developers for next gen! My biggest wish is we get AI games, with flexible quests, story lines and NPCs acting like real people and please just let games run 4K 60fps.

My biggest hope is that more games are added and eventually you can play any Xbox game from across all generations. I’d like to play Riddick without PC shenanigans one day, especially the OG Xbox version. Anyhow, interesting to see if more and more games will get resolution bumps and fps increases with each consecutive console generation.

Honestly I think they lost the plot! If it’s true and a dedicated handheld is coming for next gen which is at most 2 years away, why would I commit to this handheld now? I am actually a bit cross about this generation, where’s the one game that actually made the series x shine? Was that supposed to be Hellblade 2 or the new Doom? Such underwhelming games man, anyways I do love the Xbox and I just wish this generation didn’t feel so wasted. Whatever…

Bit embarrassing that a software company like Microsoft can’t built emulation software for their backcompact games. Honestly if the next Xbox doesn’t allow me to play all my games natively or via a layer of emulation what’s the point?

Gears 2 still is the best, don’t know what they were thinking on the later entries. Could have been good if they just kept the gore and the executions tight. But they had to introduce yellow glowing enemies in the third game, and then robots in the 4th and after that the series was dead to me. Like thanks Microsoft for trying to make it a Rated E game when it should have been always almost a Rated AO.

I have 0 expectations for this game, after the last 2 they made, I have lost all confidence in Dice. BF1 was the last great battlefield game. Wish they made an actual good WW2 one, 5 was weak!

Gears 2 was my favourite shame we getting 1 again!

Honestly if next gen is as expensive as what it is now, I will skip it and most likely will be. If Gamepass gets more expensive I may just play offline! I have hundreds of games across so many consoles and PC. New stuff is also full of ugly characters and nonsensical dialogues, the games are weak.

Jurassic World Evolution 2 was great but I bought and played the first one so much that the second one didn’t feel like much of an upgrade, and then it just takes ages unlocking dinosaurs… like unbelievable how sluggish progress was in this game. Wondered for a long time when it would leave and now is the day, if it was 90% I may pick it up lol

I mean it doesn’t take much to beat Marathon, but I have no interest in extraction shooter games. I am taking a break from competitive multiplayer, it’s just such a huge waste of time!

Honestly, even before the price hike games were too expensive! Wonder if next gen is even going to be worth it. If MS is clever they make a console with some advanced AI stuff and leave the graphics as they are.

What’s with the texture pop in for the last RoboCop, it really made me regret buying that on my xbox.

I ve played exclusively on Xbox essentially since the 360, with the One I went all in on digital games. I have hundreds of titles across all Xbox generations and I love them all. For me as long as new hardware allows me to play all those, I will be in the market for an Xbox. Honestly I am not a huge fan of gamepass as subscriptions just eat my money, and I am tired of it. Anyways I do hope Xbox will do something new and exciting with their next console, something that makes it unique from the other consoles, so they offer an experience you may only get there. I am excited for the future of Xbox and I hope we still have them in 20 years!

Can’t wait to see the rumoured Fallout 3 Remaster, just love fallout too much!

Thank god this came out, Avowed was just such a let down for me, and this will definitely keep me busy for a long time!

I pull the trigger on this one eventually, just hoping for a decent sale on it. These days any game above £20 can wait for a bit for me, I have plenty of things to play as it is.

@Kaloudz I think it’s something to do with licensing, you can still play it via disc and it was on the 360 store digitally a long time ago. WB Games man, only god knows what they are doing.

@GeorgeKal Persona 4 Remake has caught my eye too. I played Golden on the Vita and have been wanting to replay it on Xbox lately. If it’s in the upcoming spring sale, I’ll definitely grab it. I’m not sure why, but other Persona games just didn’t resonate with me as much.

I purchased a few games, including Onimusha. It’s undoubtedly a Resident Evil-inspired game set in ancient Japan. It’s both awesome and clunky. The System Shock remake by Nightdive is pure gold. If you’ve played the Bioshock games, this is essentially the same game, but set in a cyber setting. I can’t believe how good this game is. Couldn’t put it down and played 2 hours straight.

WAW I’d download in a heartbeat. I still reminisce about those days and it was truly the world war 2 shooter to play. They should have remastered it with a modern multiplayer.

@Kaloudz FEAR 3 wasn’t as good as the first two and one is the best but unavailable, however 3 is a lot of fun in its own right. It had a pretty cool survival mode, with each round getting harder. Good fun with friends!

Upgradable?! Never, we prob get two skus one big one for under the tv and switch model. If it does steam and is priced around £350 it’ll be hard to ignore if you are in the market for a gaming pc. I however gonna hold on to my series x for awhile unless next gen offers something new and original.

The anticipation is killing me, you guys do a good job hyping the sale. I wasn’t really that interested until the previous article last week, since then I am like when does it start! Not sure what I’d buy but sure find something fun, DMC5 SE has been amazing, proper upgrade to the last gen version. Peace

Been gone for a while, the whole Drop the Price talk around the Switch 2 got me back! The utter state of gaming in the 2020s is a shock, like I remember watching that Killzone 2 reveal trailer and was like brah if games look this good now what will they look like in 20 years,… terrible should have been my guess! Anyways best game on that list is by far Ninja Gaiden 2 which I kinda played almost 20 years ago. Don’t ask me about Avowed, they flopped it, I was looking forward to that the most and I couldn’t even bare finishing the first level, weak through and through. Like almost like mediocrity has replaced creativity in almost every game. Anyways sorry to “rain on your parade”, that was actually a good game, but don’t let me get you down, I am just disappointed these days. Games should have been a lot further ahead as they are now. I wish everyone on here an awesome Friday night full of gaming, whatever your choice have fun!

@Camble_Refuge yeah that's not true. I've bought plenty of games and will continue to do so, if they are on game pass or not, it's not like I'm holding out on buying a game with the hope it'll be on the service anytime in the future. If there is a game that's worth playing, I'll just go and buy it. Dead Space Remake, I knew it'll be included in the service and still bought it at release. In regards to Alan Wake 2, I wanted this game like 10 years ago, now I'm like "meh, I'll get it in a sale." So that's my two cents to your anti game pass rhetoric. But you do you and keep believing in those fairytales. ✌️

I remember games with gold used to give us some gems every now and then. But it's been terrible since Gamepass has come about. Honestly, I own way over 400 games on Xbox alone, I have more than I can ever play, I'll add these two to the collection to be forgotten, like so many others before it.

To those comparing it to ps+, does sonys game subscription give you better value for money than Gamepass does, it doesn't. I'm happy with Xbox and the direction they took, if they can now just retire gold all together and move away from that subscription to a simple, Gamepass or Gamepass ultimate subscription, I'd be very happy. Who knows maybe next year is the year it's getting retired.

Bit of a bs excuse to me, I would have bought any of their games, as usually they are spot on. But whatever....

Todd "16 times the details" Howard...

I love a good sale. I can recommend a few titles on here. Prey for example was something special at the time it came out, and I recently revisited it. Still holds up.

Should have been cross platform between Nintendo and Xbox, but what do I know right. Happy this is coming out, and will play it on 00 Agent.

Discord is spying on you and selling your data to China. Search for "Discord: The most evil business in the world." I will never ever use them.

The Sony fanboys on this website are so pathetic, why are you even on here arguing, go and play on your PS5 and enjoy the present.

Without 4 in the collection what's the point? Why won't this game be re-released, I am tired of setting up the emulator or dig out the PS3.

I just played it now, and my god, this is something special. Basically you're manipulating movie scenes, with ffw and rewind, you can also inspect. When you inspect something you get taken to another scene that has that item. What sold me on this game, were two instances so far that had me absolutely tripping. If you somewhat into movies, or even just were into movie productions and behind the scenes stuff, this game is for you. It's brilliant and I will be playing it until stuff makes sense.

@UltimateOtaku91 I figured this would be your response. Take care

@UltimateOtaku91 I find your replies always very strange. You always mention playstation in your replies, but you're on an Xbox website. Almost like you're trying to provoke...

Good price, I bought mine at that price. The extra storage does make playing more games easier, to be honest the 1 tb stock was too small to begin with, should've been 2tb out of the box
