Really getting sick of this whole political side of gaming to be honest I don't care anymore all these companies make decisions it is what it is I don't care about the stipulations when where who.
There's to much politics in gaming nowadays!
Not nearly enough fun it's a hobby!

@Banjo- That saying a lie will have travelled a thousand miles before the truth can get it's shoes on.
People just say anything about Xbox it's crazy but I'm getting better at just ignoring the stupid stuff haha

@McKeownPlayz He will be one day no doubt about that but then again he is painfully dull so it's kinda up in the air in fairness hahaha 🤣

Like Gary Barlow says "have a little patience" they are hardly going to reverse decisions a week later give them time to see how it all works out then see where we are at.
I suppose it's big news in gaming now and people making up stories about it will get the attention!

I'll give vanguard a go world war 2 call of duty are always good fun hopefully the campaign is decent.

I'll get what I can in the game hopefully there's some fun ones to achieve!

@AverageGamer Unfortunate that is but money talks could be done with enough dollar behind it but there probably isn't the hunger from the money people for it.

Delighted the Toyota glanza starlet was on this weeks playlist as a reward!
I love that car!
Also nice touch giving out another free car to everyone!
Maybe a Porsche mission R next??
Trying to get one for under 2 million in the auctions is seemingly impossible I need more money haha 😂

Double fine make very unique games surely there's value in that I hope the studio can continue on.
A brutal legend remake would print money in my opinion!

Hopefully they still can exist in some form after this I really enjoyed south of midnight!

I would of played this regardless of GTA but it makes sense to avoid dropping the game around then.
It really looks amazing I can't wait to play it the only thing is they need to improve the facial animations apart from that what I've seen so far looks perfect.
Just hoping for some Irish accents in the game aswell with a bit of luck!

Looks like the lists are becoming more sensible the longer they go on some great games I've love to see back minus the Skylanders games.
The Spiderman games would be great but probably not possible with to release again.

@FraserG Lovely I'll definitely try that out thanks for the info!

@FraserG Is there a world cup update for eafc26??
That would be fun if so.

Very good show in my opinion at least.
Very interesting times ahead for Xbox though.

@Banjo- I'll probably give it a pass this year I find the modern warfares take themselves to seriously I prefer the cheeseyness of the black ops series they are just more enjoyable to play for me.
Just not the most recent one haha 😂

@Banjo- Well if the last one sold well I'm most likely wrong about the game because that game was just terrible I really enjoyed black ops 6 but 7 for me was atrocious.

@BoredOfEverything On fairness the outer worlds two in my opinion was bad just another generic RPG shooter with with nothing really special about it.

@eduscxbox I'm sure that was true at the time I just don't think call of duty will be relevant at all really in 10 years time kinda like halo now I just the industry is moving away from that particular game I don't see it being the cash cow it once was.

Start making quality games out of the franchises you own halo gears elder scrolls fallout and don't take a decade to make them.
Also buying Activision was a terrible mistake they buy call of duty just when the world stops caring about it and is losing revelance in the gaming world.
People want high quality games to play worlds to get lost in!
Give obsidian a chance with fallout again and maybe elder scrolls they could definitely make a good game a lot quicker then Todd Howard and his team.
Also really go full in on fable because it's looking like that game could be top quality!
Big quality dlc for the game is a must nothing half arsed!
Also while all this talk is great maybe shut up for a while and get to work maybe an update at the end of year on what's happening not every couple weeks.

Im really hyped for this game I love the series and this looks amazing.
Stuntman ignition is still available on the Xbox store and holds up very well in my opinion very satisfying when you put together a great run for a scene!

Decent month ahead after seeing the gameplay trailer to halo combat evolved I went from indifferent to the game releasing to actually looking forward to playing it.
Combat looks quite fun.
Hoping maybe somehow they could add a pvp multiplayer element to the game eventually??
Seems wasted not too do it even just for pc and Xbox?

@mac_da_man Hahaha 🤣 yeah I've bought a couple of games under the guise of "it's for the kids to play" to my missus has to be done!

Just bought resident evil requiem yesterday so I'll play a fair bit of that it's very good so far only an hour in.
I'll jump on some undisputed Forza horizon 2 and maybe a little bit of mass effect 2 legendary edition!
Happy weekend everyone!

Whoosh straight over my head this story goes to be truthful!
I can only hope it's a positive thing.

Also why give us a new road map couple days earlier if someone games will be effected by these sackings??

It's a shame but not surprising at all anymore I'm kinda dead to it now really people going into that line of work should know now you will be let go probably a couple times in your career it's unfortunate but most employees are just a number on a spread sheet and that's across most jobs.

@AFCC Look around people get sacked from these companies all the time it just happens regardless of AI but people like to blame it all on AI when clearly that vocation is overpopulated!

@eduscxbox Brilliant point you would swear gamepass is a free perk everyone on Xbox gets the way people go on about it.
We actually pay for gamepass which Microsoft make money from!

I mean it definitely hasn't paid off yet so yeah that must be hard to say haha 😂

Ah 2010 free no kids no misses it was a different world back then!
I'd love to play this again it's just a shame Ireland never qualify for the world cup!!

AI is a tool that should be used in the gaming industry for multiple things.
It's definitely not some boogie man at all!

@dkxcalibur I've seen it before but I never played it at the time unfortunately looks really good I'd love something like that now on Xbox.
The closest thing I would of played to that was full house poker and you where your Xbox avatar in that aswell.
They had weekly tournaments and I think you could win prizes aswell.
Gaming experiences you just can't get today unfortunately.

Major Nelson was great at Xbox reminds me of the 360 days.
I remember they had some weekly show on Xbox live aswell Xbox wire or something they really tried back in those days!

@Neither_scene Your basically explaining how a subscription service works there you don't pay for it you don't get access to the content.

I'm very tempted to get the premium upgrade for gears and the premium edition of fable both look decent enough and I'm dying for both those games.

Smartest way to do it if the helix set of consoles don't sell better than series s/x this gen then exclusive games for that console won't happen.
But if the install base is there for that console they could make most of the games exclusive.
Sounds like the most logical way to go!
Imagine a new elder scrolls exclusive to Xbox.
Not to mention exclusive dlc for games that are multiplatform.

@Banjo- One day my friend I'm sure you will get your wish.

Just make sure the new game isn't as tough as the recent one my lord!

@fatpunkslim I love how you just cut through the crap sometimes 💪
No need to speculation on everything not said just think logically!

I'm sure I'll be excited when we have any sort of idea what the game will be about and involve.
Till then I don't know what to think ha!

@Jaxx420 Your 100% right back then the jump was mind blowing now it just slightly higher resolution smoother and higher fps blah blah but people still make out like that upgrade is on another level Haha.
Console gaming will have to be scalable and affordable going forward or it will die.
At least they know they have to do something to bring the prices down anything over 800quid in my opinion is far too expensive for just a console.

@themightyant Your talking a lot of sense in fairness.
The idea of an Xbox made by somebody or than Microsoft is very interesting!
Lower powered devices or stripped back features from what will be the premium version.
I'd say upscalers will be more prevalent next gen for the machines look at the difference upscalers make to games on ps5 pro and even switch 2.
It's a great way to get the best possible imagine quality out of something rendered at a much lower resolution.
Once the versions of a next gen Xbox can do more than the series x right now any version is an upgrade in my opinion.
Before getting my series x I went from Xbox one VCR to series s and that jump was quite large at that moment in time the series s is starting to struggle now I'm fairness.

@themightyant Sorry if I misunderstood you my friend apologies.
I wouldn't be into an ad version myself just a cheaper version and there's no doubt they will have a flag ship powerful console which will cost loads but a series s type version would be great maybe without steam and the PC side of things.
Sure there was a report recently that there will probably be at least 3 types of next gen playstation.
It's the only way going forward in my opinion buying a console nowadays is far to expensive!

@themightyant Well thats your personal preference also if that's the case you won't go for model so if they do end up doing that it won't effect you at all in reality!
I don't know when choice became a bad thing a couple different models is a great idea especially to get new people in the ecosystem!
They can't be worrying what people who won't purchase the product anyway will think ie the ney sayers or people like yourself only interested in what suits them a single high price and power machine that benefits the small few and would be available anyways with the cheap version.
Do you see where I'm coming from?

Doing a series s type machine for next gen would be a very smart and great for choice and my wallet!
Also not surprising to see the same people put down that idea that wouldn't go near the console in the first place just like the series s they never played on one yet hate it!
Get your heads out your bums!

As an Xbox gamer the Xbox showcase was my favorite.
I'm also a huge gears fan so it was a slam dunk for me gears looks amazing!

Maybe it's just me but putting the elder scrolls 6 on that list is a bit of an insult isn't it!
It could literally be the best part of a decade away!

@Fiendish-Beaver We need you and Sammy in the same room at the same time that's the only way dude hahaha 😂
Don't mind him my friend you are you your not Sammy I've never seen a hate filled post by yourself you have your opinions like everyone else.
We don't agree 100% of the time on everything and that's perfectly fine.

@Fiendish-Beaver Haha 😂
I know you are a solid dude basically the daddy around here in my opinion!
Definitely not Sammy.
