I'm cool with it. Makes no difference to me in the slightest.

For the sake of keeping the rest of the team in place, he's not going to openly admit T10's real future. They're going to be shuttered in due course (likely after FH6).

@Weebleman Very true. I'm still not going to get one myself, but I am toying with the idea of moving to Steam Deck. The games are cheaper, and it seems the return laws are a lot more lenient than on console too. I'll still get Xbox next gen, but, I'll probably play it less (by a little) if I get SD - which I hear sell very well too.

Looking forward to Powerwash Sim 2. First game was epic.

I think between the solid sales and the great feedback, MS will return to the drawing board for their own handheld. That said, I'd like one of these but the cost just isn't ideal for me.

@carlos82 It really was something wasn't it? It certainly ate into a lot of my pocket money back in the day lol!

Folks happy to lay blame at MS, but if Rare had pulled their weight and met targets, this would have seen the light of day. It's that simple. I love Rare, but let's face it, they drag their feet. There was plenty of this reported during the development of Sea of Thieves too.

Does anyone else remember Time Crisis? (Was that what it was called?). They were pretty decent too.

Really happy that the IP has found its footing again. It's nice to see CoD have a decent competitor.

Great game, and pretty ahead of its time IMO.

@AccessibleDaydream Are you sure you have my new tag? TheKaloudz (my old one was just Kaloudz).

@AccessibleDaydream

I totally agree. Do you have me on Xbox? (TheKaloudz)?

You're more than welcome and thank you too. Yeah I'm with you 100% on protecting kids from content they should not be seeing. For me the issue is more with how the kids these days that see this content, are largely from parents who are more hands off than hands on. In that case, their parents will likely just ID verify and it's back to square one.

I also agree that the gov should not be pushing their noses in on this under the guise that they actually care lol. What next? DNA samples at birth? It's a bizarre and crazy world right now, but when I strip away the dangers of online abuse - I cant help but feel like it's (in part) the governments fault for not having tougher laws in place - and when they eventually do crack down, then the cons get to go to prisons that are more like hotel rooms than cells... lol.

Life eh? Way back when people were getting banned for sharing clips from Watch Dogs 2, they should have implemented very simple age gates based on profile age. If parents want their kids seeing that, then it's down to them (but sadly sometimes society) to answer to the consequences.

@Fiendish-Beaver MP buddy.

I'm happy about this. I thought the movie was very well done. I'll be curious where they take the second movie though.

E33 and it's not even close IMO.

End game E33 content ahead of the new content update

Game Pass releases are varied and nice looking!

I was sceptical about Blops 7, but it's not what I was expecting. It's actually a lot more grounded than I thought. It's still very much "boots on the ground" gameplay.

I hope it comes back. I mean if Lucifer managed it, this one can.

I was never really fond of the first two games :/

This one is definitely one I'll be trying out.

@AccessibleDaydream Hey you Hope you're well?

Personally. I think it's daft. I think companies should stop trying to be parents and let parents be parents. Sure, there's dangers to children on the internet, but this isn't even a deterrent - it's a nuisance, and let's face it... children are probably running around with adult accounts rather than child accounts anyway lol.

If you ask me, a simple age gate would have sufficed rather than having to deal with this rubbish. What's your thoughts?

Both FH6 and Fable will absolutely justify this. Both of them will no doubt smash sales across the platforms they release on. I cant wait for both.

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.
