PC version on Ally 💪.
Switchers eyes would bleed.

The Fallout pad is hideous.

Somethings going on here in UK too. This morning I checked my recurring billing, its was off and turning it on gives me the new £22.99 price. Even though I'm paid up until May.
Just tried again. It's the same. BUT my gamepass ult is now paid up until end of August.

If they're smart (they ain't,) they put something big into the service as an extra to what already announced. They need something to sweeten a rather sour pot.

Gta vi day one would change this conversation. They'd probably jam the website up again, trying to resub.

@BaldB3lper78 I looked at that a few times now, but I can never get over the fact you're just renting a pc. You don't get any games. I have a console I just need regular games for it.
If before offered a catalogue of games though, that service would slay.

Nope, and I think it's irresponsible of those who do. These companies are tyring to make gaming into an expensive luxury, and we're all enabling them.
Honestly, I'm disgusted this thing has sold out, even if I'm not at all surprised. Don't blame those of us with good sense when next time they release new hardware its $1200.

UK thanks, I'll wait for the highlights.

Microsoft is mandating effort from their devs into handheld optimization. New gears runs just as well as the articles claim, even on my z1 extreme Ally.
They will lose interest, though, eventually. Then they'll go back to ignoring handheld optimization.

@vrubayka And in shockingly short order most of the time.

@XBOX045 Yeah, that why you keep your current Xbox. I'm not saying throw em away. I'm just not buying from them anymore.

No fudge off Boity. We don't want here more of you're bs. How have these clowns like Spencer,Boity and Bond still got jobs, and decent hardworking people there haven't?
When will these jeans wearing executive fuq's start to look at themselves for failure after failure?

I'll be keeping gamepass, but this is the last straw. I'm never buying any games or hardware from these clown again. Makes me feel better about recently buying a ps5. (Death stranding 2 rocks btw).

No it's pretty drab if honest. Some street lights etc. nothing neon.

No, I'll be sticking to the OG Ally. But I'm hoping whatever MS have developed as the new OS is installable on older systems.

@Kaloudz Ah, nevermind. I saw your reply. That's a real shame. I don't feel that Robocop is all that flashy though.

@Kaloudz why can't you?

My favourite month in gaming.

@GASEOUS Sorry to hear that. I've been there. We do what we have to.

Win for Xbox, win for Bethesda, a win for game pass an subscribers. Win for playstation fans, who've not had the game until now. A win for Virtuoso - I'm already more excited for Mgs 3 cos of how well they've done here. So a win for Konami too.

Let's face it; they can't think it's very good, to be released this way. An Unreal engine 5 remake of Oblivion? That should be a front & centre showcase level reveal, right?

Probably 90 quid by the time it comes out, at this rate.

I just want State of Decay 3 to show up and for it to look so good that we're all blown away. 🤞🫣

I'm hoping my current Ally can host the new UI, I don't want to buy another one.
Switch 2 probably won't be essential until 2026.

AC shadows & WWE 2k25 for me.

@GoldenPants Lapton screens tend to suck tho, unless you spend big. The Ally screen is small (but massive if you're used to Switch) but quite lovely. And there vrr too.

I hope they offer existing Ally owners the option to download the new UI.

@Millionski oh totally. Xbox won't lift a finger, for sure. It's frustrating.

@Fiendish-Beaver I'm tiptoeing into conspiracy theory territory here, but if I was Xbox, I d want everybody - Sony especially- to anticipate 2027.
Xbox know how vital it was to the 360's success being out a year before ps3.

@Millionski They should take a massive hit and put Series S out for $199 the week before gta vi. Throw in a $10 store voucher too. Even if its just a temporary price.
If they do though, they'd better start making those now cos they fly of the shelf.

I'm going to pick them up but they're going straight into backlog. I have things on the go, but I want to dedicate the end of March to AC shadows and the excellent looking Atomfall.

@Cornpop76 Yeah, I bet the devs would tell us there's so and so tech in that image that older games just can't do. But to the average eye things just look the same.
Looking forward to the game though.

@abe_hikura Yeah same.

If its over $500 I'm gonna just stick to cloud & series x.

Saw a popular Youtuber say that Playground will be closed over this game. Because the games delayed, which means its a terrible game obviously.

I swear that YouTube & X are rotting the entire human race.

Well, people aren't just going to say "it's fine, Xbox, don't bother releasing anything for our game pass subs q4 - we all know GTA vi is out and understand."

@Kaloudz Do you recall the awful CGI when vamps changed faces? I think if they CGI de-aged Spike & Angel now, oddly enough it would look and feel in keeping with the original.

@Kaloudz OMFG I just hit Google at 1,000mph to fact check that. Can't believe it! I'm so stoked. Buffy back, after a literal age! 😆

Thank you for the heads up!

A bit annoyed that I couldn't get round to Tales of Arise, but Tbh I have SO MANY jrpg's I still have to play. I've only just started xenoblade C 2 on Switch.
Yeah, I'm somewhat behind. 😬

@Kaloudz Totally agree.

@Kaloudz yup 100% agree. In addition, I think that if ps5 had not sold quite so well, then Sony too would have released on Xbox. Only reason they don't, I believe, is that there aren't enough series consoles out there to make doing so attractive. I can totally see them watching Switch 2 with interest though.
In fact, didn't they recently send a Horizon game to Switch? 🤔

Gamepass is outstanding right now.

@Ricky-Spanish And that's the root of the problem in this kind of situation. When a publisher puts out something new or different, the masses dive in and consume it. But if they don't continue to be innovative, if they rely on the same thing over and over, then half their customer base (or more) will leave them. They're left with a group of dedicated fans of their content, but the company continues to hold up mass success as the yard stick. Those fans will never buy enough to keep investment coming in.
Tale as old as capitalism.

If the console split was 50/50. Or anywhere near 50/50....
I just think this is all pie in the sky thinking while Microsoft sells so few Xbox consoles.

I don't have that kind of ammo. The cost of ammo crisis is real.

Should have delayed again. People would've understood. (Sane people, I mean).

@Benjamin Nah, I'm good.

Most obvious reason is, the Acti-blizz execs have gotten into Spencers ear and talked him down from putting it all on gamepass.
Or maybe it's just because Xbox has had a stacked year and they want those games in reserve for a quiet spell? Who knows right?

@Nighto4 PC definitely.

No human being needs this amount of money. Cap yearly earnings after tax to 1 million. Still an obscene amount imo. But no can claim they can't live comfortably/lavishly on 1 mill per year.
