I don’t understand why two US companies need approval from foreign nations. Is it something to do with operating in other parts of the word? Needless to say, I don’t get it.
I’ve almost picked this game up on sale like a dozen times…if my back catalogue wasn’t so long I’d have gotten it by now. Seems like fortune favors the patient (if it actually comes to gamepass).
I definitely abandon Xbox for the PS4. I got a One to play Gears 4, but never touched it after that. Then my buddy started talking up GamePass and told how you could convert up to three years of Xbox Live Gold to GP Ultimate for $1...(on top of that he gave me the hookup because he worked at a Microsoft store at the time and I payed WAY under for 3 years of XbLG) This was around the time Outter Wolrds came out and it was on GP day one, so I played it on there and I think Gears 5 came out after that. I was feeling the pros of GP at that point and upgraded to a One X so I could start getting into 4k gaming and after that I started playing my PS4 a LOT less. Any time a 3rd party game came out I would get it for the Xbox and once the Series X was announced I was a little skeptical until Sony blundered almost everything about PS5 and I knew I'd be back in the Xbox camp until the PS5 had a price drop (or naughty dog released a new game). I got lucky and got my Series X in December for retail, have been in love with it and all the amazing features ever since!!!!
I haven’t noticed but I also haven’t looked for Xbox controllers here in the US. I did order a controller from the design lab last week and it said to expect it in 3-5 weeks before I get it.
Like…maybe they should focus on more new games? Starfield looks amazing, but like what if they made a another new IP and didn’t put out a fallout game for over 15 years? That would be fine by me.
Pardon my ignorance, but was the first resident evil game remade too? I've seen that 2 and 3 had the remade treatment and 4 is coming this year...what about 1? or was this a storyline thing, like the first game didn't connect to these other ones.
Wait, I picked up the Witcher 3 on sale a bit back for the sole reason that it was getting a next gen upgrade...that's still happening for current owners of the game, right?
I just picked up a halo elite controller, it’s a little unresponsive with the main button something.
ALSO, a few times it’s totally disconnected while I’m playing a game. Battery hasn’t been low when it happens. Is that a known issue with the elite controllers?
I’m very curious as to how the PS5 has outsold the Xbox Series X/S when it’s old out everywhere and supplies are so chocked. Has Sony just been able to make double the hardware over Microsoft due to them doing a conservative manufacturing order because the One was such a slow seller???
I'm surprised its only a frame rate difference between the One X and the Series X, I would have thought it would be res too. Maybe the textures will be more and the ray tracing patch will make a huge difference? Guess we'll seen. Totally fine waiting awhile to play this one.
Mostly playing psychonauts 2 and the ascent. Slowly working my way through MCC in anticipation of halo infinite and playing Pokémon Unite with friends here and there. Car is in the shop so I’m just saying home and gaming baby!
@themightyant expandable storage. Problem solved!
Unless a game is going to take up more than the full available internal storage of a console, it doesn’t matter. People will download/install huge files and delete what they need to in order to make room until the next game they wanna play, simply rinse and repeat.
Some really valid issues here that need to be addressed.
I find it very encouraging and even refreshing that the xbox team acknowledged this so quickly!
What really surprised me was how much I wanted to go back and play my older games just for the fast loading times and, when applicable, higher frame rates. I’ve always been a one time experience and that’s enough person, but I’m SO into going back to older titles now. Really glad I started on Xbox this gen. It’s nice to see someone other than Nintendo champion backwards compatibility for once.

Re: Battlefield 2042 Is DICE's Only Focus, 'No Time' For Other Projects Says GM
Dice should stop making these games. They need a fresh take on something that’s not a wartime FPS.

Re: Fallout 5 Will Come After Elder Scrolls 6, Confirms Todd Howard

But Game Pass! Totally gonna play it day one!
Re: Resident Evil's Free Xbox Series X|S Upgrades Could Be With Us Very Soon
Pardon my ignorance, but was the first resident evil game remade too?
I've seen that 2 and 3 had the remade treatment and 4 is coming this year...what about 1?
or was this a storyline thing, like the first game didn't connect to these other ones.
Thanks in advance!

When are they gonna fix the UHD Blu Ray player?!
Re: Digital Foundry Questions The Need For Mid-Gen Console Upgrades
I’d bet money it’s a redesign, like a slim/smaller version that will MAYBE have more internal storage, but no GPU or CPU upgrade.

Re: Xbox Series S Reportedly Outsells Series X In Various Key Markets

Re: Elden Ring Graphics And Performance Mode Details On Xbox Revealed
I'm surprised its only a frame rate difference between the One X and the Series X, I would have thought it would be res too. Maybe the textures will be more and the ray tracing patch will make a huge difference? Guess we'll seen. Totally fine waiting awhile to play this one.
