That's neat. It does beg the question though, have they set themselves up to ensure that they do this every year from now on out?

We take nothing to the next place.

The absence of E33 for GotY is complete and utter nonsense. Sorry, I know they're nominated in most other categories, but GotY should have been there for them.

@ElkinFencer10 Yeah I'd be game with something like that. What I'd like to see either way though, are plans for more games moving forward in GP. All of these Ubi+ games are great for now, and that's fine, but then what becomes of November, December etc...

Nothing really here for me to be honest.

It's incredible value for anyone that has yet to try a lot of Ubi stuff, but for the likes of me, who has played most their stuff, it's not really warranted.

I'm okay with a reskin of Blops 6 - but moving forward I hope Treyarch drop Blops and move onto fresh stories. They've surfed on Blops for too long now. Time for something new - like a new WaW.

I'll be moving from E33 (completed it again) to Discounty myself.

@BattleMonkey I would hope so. I have three subs in the house. £65+ a month is silly. They need to bring out that family plan.

@ElkinFencer10 Yeah it's the same deal with EA Access too. Choice is key rather than throwing things at us and expecting us to enjoy the added cost. Don't get me wrong, it's still an amazing deal when all is said and done, but the option to choose GPU with or without the added subscriptions would have been nice too.

Great game IMO. Well worth the time (if a bit grindy later in).

I'm okay with this. More choice is better than less choice. No one is forced to use the free version when it arrives.

I personally think they'll be remaking it in a modern engine. It will still be Halo CE, but better, sharper, and prettier. Either way, I'm sold.

Simple fix, give players the family and friends plan for each tier so that players can spread the cost. I love Xbox and I love GP - but Ubi+ and Fortnite does nothing for me.

I have already played and own most of Ubisoft's work and I don't play Fortnite. That said, 75+ day one releases over the next 12 months is a very, very worthy return for the top tier price.

@Vipor007 It's some sort of monthly subscription for Fortnite that gives you VBucks and other perks.

@Coletrain I'll have to have a peek on the console or website at some point. Thanks my man. I plan on sticking to the middle tier depending on what's in there. Certainly wont be moving to the top tier any time soon. I love Xbox, but I'm not paying more for Ubi+ and Fortnite - they should have remained optional IMO.

@BattleMonkey Shame if it's been shelved indefinitely, because that would have been very nice for many, many gamers.

@FatalBubbles @NattyKing Time will tell, but I personally think we will see more than live-service Sony games next gen onward.

I'll stick to the middle tier (price is too high for things I didn't ask for - such as Fortnite and Ubi+) for now. That said, if they bring in the family and friends plan, I'll probably move to the top tier again.

@Nic-Noc20th-C Agreed. I'm going on this tier post-price hike.

I'm loving the support this is getting. I still think it paints a picture of what's to come next gen.

75+ Day One Releases over the next twelve months is a very, very worthy return IMO. I'm not a fan of the idea that they're tacking on alternate services (such as Ubisoft and EA) and would much rather have an option that doesn't include them to drive down the price, but when all is said and done, it's still a bargain. I'll be slipping down to the middle tier myself, but if they come back with the family and friends plan, I might just jump on it.

@Kezelpaso See, I can absolutely live with that. I don't mind waiting extra time to play something and I totally understand why CoD isn't included (it being the golden goose and all). Still, as I said elsewhere - today would have been the ideal place to formally reveal that family / friends tier they were on about a number of months back. I wonder if it's been shelved?

Edit - I don't suppose we know a place where we can see a full list of games that are available in each tier?

I wonder if they've silently axed the family and friends tier that they were on about a number of months back? Surely this would have been the place to reveal it?

GPU is a tad bit pricy for what we're getting. Sure, the boost of Ubi+ is nice, but the real question will be whether we get a fairly decent dump of games month by month.

Lots of great games here for those that have yet to play a lot of them, but, for those that already have, I don't think Ubi are spinning enough games out these days to justify inclusion.

Good for them. I hope whatever they do moving forward is positive for both them, and their IPs.

@Kezelpaso I would agree with Premium being the better option. I haven't read everything yet, but I'm curious, does Premium also get day one releases?

@FraserG I personally think the smarter alternative would have been to just add an additional tier rather than enforce additions that folks may not want. I have to say though, the addition of Fortnite Crew is a smart move.

It's a very, very clever addition IMO. Any Fortnite fan that has GP / Xbox would jump on this.

@FraserG I think we'll see more PlayStation Studios titles getting native Xbox versions eventually (on the Xbox Store itself) considering how well Helldivers 2 has performed.

Surely just a matter of time?

110%. Absolutely. MS practically pulled the rug on exclusivity. It's certainly only a matter of time before native versions arrive IMO.

@FarmDog08 It was pretty amazing wasn't it. I personally loved the plot, and the open world setting. I hope they stick with it but I firmly believe they'll go back to basics.

@AccessibleDaydream Thanks for taking the time with me there I've always held off on them because I used to believe that they were for (mostly) very serious gamers that play e-sports and such, or casual players that blast CoD all week haha. However, I've recently learned that they're actually pretty amazing for even general use. I do hear that they don't last long though?

My daughter keeps asking me for this but I'm curious as to how accessible it is. Kid / family games are great but it sucks when they make them a little too difficult for little ones.

I loved the campaign for Infinite, and was gutted they didn't build on the campaign area with expansions (ODST etc...) but I very much enjoy the IP so I'll take anything.

Day on for me. I can wait a while longer but this one has me very excited. I love freshly made old retro-like games.

They aughta just remaster Lost and Blue, just to gauge interest. It'd be a cheap investment for a potentially huge return if they did that and multiplat released them.

Doesn't bother me too much. It should just work out as "get a month free" then "pay for a month" rinse and repeat.

@Markatron84 Yup, that's my problem with them. They're just overwhelmingly convoluted IMO. I glad people find enjoyment in them, but for me, I like my games more straightforward and less complex. I play to escape stress, not find it lol.

@DeadSpace I think I read somewhere that the next remake is multiplat. Unless I crossed my wires somewhere.

Depending on the price, I might just pick up the next Elite. I've never had a premium controller before.

Never even heard of these. Truth be told I don't really utilize the retro feature as much as I thought I would.

I'm willing to give it the benefit of the doubt. Hopefully it pans out a hell of a lot better than Gollum lol.

Farmbotic and The Relic look right up my street.

It says private video when I load up the page.

Interested to see what changes this makes to EA as the years fly by, but I don't think we will see any massive differences in the immediate short-term.

These games don't really interest me to be fair. I just don't have the mental capacity to suss out all the systems lol.

Good to know. This should give the series a much needed boost in addition to SH2. Let's hope that it continues to bring new games in the franchise as time goes on.

@Decimateh Me too lol! I just hope it's not in preview for too long. Slime Rancher 2 spent forever in there.

@BattleMonkey Thanks brother!
