Llamageddon

Slim pickings for me personally, though my other half has her eye on paper trail and hauntii
Seem like good pallete cleansers so will probably pick them up, good month for the bank account!

Also the biggest market for gaming on the go is Asia and xbox barely have a footprint there at all. Maybe this might help but I doubt it

They just seem a bit late to the game tbh. Beyond the switch, there are already a number of competitors in the portable device market (moreso than console).
I considered buying a portable device for a while until I finally pulled the trigger on a steam deck. The reason I went with the deck is because I wanted access to the steam library (which includes Xbox games). A number of the games on my wishlist are pc exclusive so an Xbox handheld just feels redundant to me personally regardless of specs.
I hope it's a great piece of kit for those who want it, I just feel they've somewhat missed the boat again.

@ScoTTieDLighT If you're talking about the upcoming space marine 2, then it's not an exclusive

@pip_muzz Maybe dungeons of hinterberg, pretty certain that's due out this year

Got no strong feelings on the format as a whole, but isn't it meant to be a showcase for Xbox exclusive games for 2024. I personally would have replaced Ara (PC only) and Visions of Mana (multi platform) with Towerborne and Dungeons of Hinterberg which are both due out this year.
Not much for me in the showcase as the games I'm most intrigued by are Clockwork Revolution and South of Midnight, hopefully they'll feature in the summer showcase.

@Romans12 Xbox really needs to get their AAA games up to the standard of their smaller titles like Hifi rush, grounded and pentiment (maybe not your type of game but are definitely complete, polished games)
Time will tell I suppose as none of us are clairvoyant!

@Godot25 There was an article on 7th Jan which included others coming to ganepass as well:
Open roads
Eiyuden chronicles: hundred heroes
Dead static drive
Flintlock: siege of dawn
Nirvana noir
Still wakes the deep
Plus a game that rarely gets a mention anymore even on pure - dungeons of hinterberg. 2024 is looking stacked to say the least

Great for those interested in the game as long as they don't prioritise Xmas sales over a polished product. I'm sure most people would prefer an early 2025 release if it means a better day 1 experience.

@Kaloudz To be perfectly frank I don't know the first thing about copyright law, but I know Nintendo are quite litigious. I can only assume palworld has done it's homework and are confident they're in the clear.
Anyway I hope those who give it a go enjoy the game and happy gaming for 2024

There is a small yellow creature with a lightning bolt tail at 0:17, you've got to wonder if Pokémon might want to have a word about that!

@Vipor007 I agree that from a first party perspective Sony are sorely lacking but 3rd party seems to prop up 2024 for them fairly well rise of the Ronin, FF7 rebirth, Helldivers 2, stellar blade, silent hill 2 remake etc. at the end of the day an exclusive is an exclusive.
All that being said I have considerably more Xbox games on my wishlist at present. Here's hoping we get more bangers than duds regardless of platform.

@Xeno_Aura
'In those games, the XBO X can handle 4k, but its CPU can't handle 60 FPS'
Doesn't the article literally say Xbox One X 4k @ 60 FPS though? That suggests the CPU can handle 60 fps

I like the style and setting of this one, on my wishlist! I keep hearing about all these games in 2024, but out of genuine interest do any them have an actual release date. I only ask because AAA delays seem to be more prevalent than ever
