I think i only ever encountered 1 or 2 bugs when i played it originally on Xbox. Other than that i didn't have a problem!

Played this game on Steam early last year when it came out, will be playing this again. Definitely a meatier game than the first ff7 with more open world areas.

More difficult game too IMO.

Mixtape, Forza, Lego Batman for me!

PushSquare is really taking the news well with their new article regarding this. Holy crap, dude.

@AI-Generation personally i just want the game output to continue what it is and im happy. exclusive or not, day one or timed, I just want the games and that what matters to me.

Hell, id like more time in the day to play them though. That's for sure!

@Questionable_Duck I fully expect the xbox diehards who were all "im done with the brand" and complaining about the games before suddenly start to flock back like nothing had happened.

Fully expect it.

@IronCrow86 yup. should see how they championed PS supposedly "pulling away" from PC (which we haven't even heard anything official yet) but have the opposite mouth-breathing with this news.

Personally, I don't know how much will change (especially for titles this year since I'm sure that's set in stone) but the future who knows. Doesn't bother me either way since I almost exclusively play on XBOX so i get the games either way.

The discourse it definitely amusing, none-the-less.

There's being full of yourself, and then there's Molyneux. I still remember his "What's inside the cube" scam and how the dude got nothing from it.

Overpromise and underdeliver, THAT is the history of this guy.

I absolutely loved the first 2 games. Can't wait for this.

Game Pass, the gift that keeps on giving ...

Already got Hades 2 pre-installed. Gotta get Replaced as well, now. Went ahead and replayed FireWatch this weekend, such a great game.

Mixtape and Forza for me!

Man, I can't wait for this gem. Playground is one of the best devs in the biz.

@Noone2025 Ha.

I got a good laugh out of this comment!

Leave it up to those select few to not realize that its April 1st. Heck, even if it was true the meltdowns and hyperbole associated with it would give me quite a chuckle.

I remember growing up and actually having to watch commercials, I think a lot of younger gamers dont realize how easy they have it these days with accessibility, online play, and the dearth of content available both game wise and movie wise.

@BacklogBrad You jumped into my brain and pulled out my exact thoughts, from the online stores to missing maybe 2 games a year. The helix makes sense to me.

Haven't been this excited for a Forza in a while, keeping up with all the news I can't wait to jump in.

Game Pass all the way (after I play Hades 2, Aphelion, and Replaced of course)!

@Llamageddon indeed. I wonder if they'll get it running on switch 2 at some point. Curious how that thing will run lol

This makes sense that this would be the deep dive. People saying it's not Fable, Fable had a deep dive at the developer direct so it can't be that one again, and Gears wasn't even there. This also cements that this will release this year since they've been doing that now where they do deep dive - release same year.

Man they really are going to be able to get Forza, Halo, Gears, and Fable all out in one year (25th ann.)

Crazy!

Keep it coming Xbox. Loving what I'm seeing!

@Llamageddon You gotta remember people who waited this long also arent the hardcore and dont care about the best of the best. The console market is mostly casual, and if they see a $399 console and a $599 console to play the same thing? Most people won't care. College Football 25 was also huge boon for series s because it was the cheapest way to play that game and it showed.

We shall see though!

Hades 2, Replaced, and Aphelion for me.

Solid month.

@Jaxx420 that's why i prefer the aspect of play anywhere, cloud gaming, ect. People might not like it but with the way younger gamers are growing up and the rising prices, having more places available to access your games at a cheaper price just makes sense.

@Globo indeed. Stein on X just reminded all of us that Series S is the best value in gaming. Cheapest way to jump onto GTA VI this gen by a WIDE margin. For most who don't care about cutting edge graphics and just wanna play GTA, series S will be the cheapest way to do that.

I thought that 90 million consoles was supposed to stop these price gouges, studio closures, ect?

Project Helix is the one and only console I plan on buying next gen. A console/pc hybrid with xbox and steam/epic ect game stores along with play anywhere, crossbuy, game pass ect?

Yeah,
I'll stick with xbox.

Man, I cant wait to jump into this game. Series X under the TV and take it on the go on Xbox Rog Ally.

Gonna be choice.

@Fiendish-Beaver concord was 2024, dude.

I assume it'll be a plug and play external, i mean the ps5 pro is a digital only with an external drive. I presume it'll be the same here, especially since it'll run windows 11 as well ...

@somnambulance its not just those, they announced world premiers and game pass announcements on Twitter as well, so there will be plenty. Honestly once April hits there are just so many games and I'm really looking forward to Aphelion, Replaced, Mixtape, and Forza Horizon 6 in the next few months!

@Tasuki that's what ill do, play Lego Batman with my son and Forza 6 solo on game pass.

Good times!

ff7 remake and high on life 2 (which i just finished last week). Great games! I'll get to RE Requiem when it comes down a bit from that $70 price, too rich for my blood.

Tried Planet of Lana but couldn't get into it. Looking forward to Aphelion and Replaces in April!

@Globo do tell!

As others have said, Aphelion has my attention!

@Banjo- i cant keep up with nintendo's ridiculous prices these days, hence why i didn't get a switch 2 yet. with them missing the BIG demanding games that come out, and really only caring about mainline Zelda and Mario these days, I may just borrow from a friend for those and call it good.

@Gemini53 This edition isn't the original version, this one came out on switch last year for 39.99 (which is the current price as well on switch) so it is, technically, discounted from that.

It's very grindy and old school, though.

@Balaam_ sad party is sony's first party single player games they said they'll make 1-2 a year, and thats about it.

I understand it is early (and only one metric and platform) but the steam concurrent player already cut IN HALF from 87k to around 46k while Slay the spire is absolutely crushing it at almost 400k concurrent. I would be shocked if this doesn't fall off within a month or so, especially when even more games get released.

Been hearing "xbox wont make consoles anymore" for like 10 years now, and they continually get proven false. Until they actually stop i simply wont listen to the nonsense anymore. This box will play all my xbox AND pc games in one convenient form factor? Sony already lost me with their lack of output on first party games and the switch is just too under powered and feature incomplete (while also missing major demanding games and they just released it).

The next xbox will be the only one I need, the other 2 are just falling behind in making any real innovation these days. Yeah, I'll stick with xbox.

i was told they weren't making another console. shocking.

Game Pass, the gift that keeps on giving ...

@Sol4ris I think the fact that people thought MS was and is the one doing this isn't paying attention OR are hiding their heads in the sand.

@Scribedby

My man!

The sad fact is Sony can brag about console sales all they want but this generation has been a HUGE letdown in the games department from their studios.

Once the next xbox comes out with steam and epic game integration i'll never have to buy another sony console again, that'll be the only one I need.

Looking forward to that day ...

Game Pass, the gift that keeps on giving the whole year!

this game looks great!

This will play GREAT on the Ally X. AND it's play anywhere!

This i fully what i expected it to be. People thought it was going to be $1050 with the price conversion? No way. When that preorder goes up I'm copping.

@HonestHick Indeed. Having xbox play anywhere and all those other storefronts on there (which admittedly the Steam Deck didn't have, loved that thing but it being a little underpowered and no native game pass ect hurt it) I cant wait to have all that flexibility

A MAJOR MAJOR reason i'm getting the Xbox Ally X is because of play anywhere ...
