IronMan30

That would be nice.

@Ichiban exactly. Even my coffee table is an Xbox!

@Trmn8r exactly this. MS is not even trying to sell consoles, it seems.

Given there are still some major games without specific release dates, that would make sense.

@FraserG you're probably right.

Good looking games. If they don't end up on NS2, I'll give them a whirl on Xbox.

Awesome news for Xbox players. I never doubted this would be a great version of this game.

What a bunch of clowns.

@Gabrie I've had my eShop games for 8 years now. The reason 3DS and Wii U were closed is because of form factor and many of those games were ported over to Switch and now playable on NS2. The argument that they "may go away in a few years" could theoretically apply to anything digital so I consider that a moot point. I meant from a practical standpoint everything someone buys on Switch/2 is playable anywhere (and on one device) because of the form factor of the console.

Switch 2 is "Play Anywhere" by default. I can play it at home or on the go.

@Scrubchub agreed, a very small number of very loud people made this game sound terrible. It's actually really fun.

Ah, the return of COD on a Nintendo console. I wonder if it uses mouse mode...

I was lucky enough to get it for free because I waited. Didn't seem worth paying for a game I beat recently (last year).

Well, not long to wait for the new content. It was a good idea to hold off on starting this game, apparently.

@VeganH as pointed out by a commenter who replied to me, it appears this (or a variation thereof) is happening. They formed Sackbird studios.

Maybe we can get what Blackbird was supposed to be from a new studio.

@Weebleman probably so, but you'd think their first statement was true. If MS were smart, they would have kept their games exclusive.

I guess when you give people no reason to buy a console, you won't sell them. Now, the usual suspects are shifting the argument from "exclusives don't sell consoles" to "well, they don't WANT to sell consoles!"

And make no mistake, I believe MS is and was capable of improving Xbox sales. Clearly, the people at the top don't feel that is meaningful to the overall company. This is one example of why having multiple streams of revenue isn't always good for a specific brand within a company.

None of this surprises me in the short to medium term as billionaires insist "we need AI" to improve society. They are using tons of capital to make their utopian (not for society at large, of course) vision of the future a reality.

And as others have said, PS5/XSX are now just starting to get going software-wise. Look at 2026's release schedule for both as proof.

Seems like everyone had a good time with E33. I'll play it, eventually. Same with Avowed and Outer Worlds 2, the latter of which I haven't played the prequel.

Oh, you mean we shouldn't just take rumors at face value?
No way!!!

Mark my words, the MSRP of $80 will become more common going forward.

I was able to get mine to work. Undead Nightmare is really fun, so far.

I felt that splitting the campaign and multiplayer up was a bad idea because why buy the game if the main draw is free? The mechanics are fun enough, though.

This game gets more hate than it deserves, imo. I played it a few days ago and had a blast.

Grabbed it right away. I actually didn't pay for this game on Xbox so I can't believe I'm getting Undead Nightmare for free.

Oh, nice. They are going to resolve the issue.

Edit: Yes, I started Undead Nightmare last night. It's a little surreal I got this and the 360 version for free when I paid for the OG on PS3.

Unfortunately, I won't do this.

Not the end of the world, but I hope that rep was wrong because the other consoles are getting free upgrades while Xbox owners are being left out in the cold if true.

Undead Nightmare, here I come!

Undead Nightmare is calling my name, so yes.

Progress is great, but it seems like the cost of AI isn't worth it.

Then again, since when has that deterred the most depraved people on the planet from doing what they want? Never!

Oblivion on Switch 2?

Anyway, Nintendo does this to great effect, as well. Some companies do it and personally, I find it to be a fun tactic. Just throw it out there and run away. Say nothing else. Lol

Ah. The last truly great Xbox.

So much for a decade.

Well, once this drops, it sounds like it's going to be time to play Undead Nightmare.

My 14 year old self would be very surprised at how different Xbox looks 25 years on.

I'm not getting my hopes up.

I admit it would be a very 4D chess way to beat Sony by having their games available on your platform, albeit on a different storefront. In any case, I can see people balking at that price but free online would be refreshing for anything resembling a home console.

That's certainly a mindset.

@TheGameThrifter I'd ask myself that question more often if I didn't already own an Xbox. Though if rumors about the next console are true (and it sounds like they are) I may just rip off the band-aid and stop buying Xbox.

@CallMeDuraSouka true, the trailer made it look pretty good. I can deal with 30 FPS, as well.

No way to know for sure if this is true...but it adds up.

Idk why I thought this was already the case, but I'll take it!

I'd settle for Fallout 5 to take place in New Vegas, but a remaster would be cool. In any case, I plan on getting Fallout 4 for NS2 as I wait for the next entry. Yes, I have beaten Fallout 4 on XSX but I didn't get the DLC and am perfectly fine with graphical downgrades to play it on a handheld I own.

This reminds me, I still need to play Avowed but I'm knee deep in RE7 at the moment (at least on Xbox).

That's interesting framing for why they didn't follow through.

Now that Silksong is out of the way, I guess people can find something else to spam the chat about?

They're really going the extra mile to squash the hardware rumors.

@SalaciousCrumb it wouldn't shock me at all if PS6 costs close to $1k USD, but then people will argue that price is justified cos reasons.

It would feel kind of wrong to get it on Switch 2 if it came there, but I might do that. If that isn't an option, I could see myself buying a Halo remake for Xbox.
