@OldGamer999 Yes, FH 4 was really good. Preferred it over 5 and possibly even 3. I have loads of nostalgia for 2 though. I'm not a fan of remakes, but would def be on board for FH 1and 2 to be done. Unfortunately with MS splitting the generation it's really affected what games can do.
Am I the only one that doesn't really care if the next horizon is in Japan. I'd love it to go back to Europe like horizon 2. Was playing it last night and it's still my favourite.
Horizon 2 is still the best horizon for me. I was off work for a while and just played loads of it. Want olto go back to it now thinking about it. Need to get through a lot of the backlog first though. 😂 This year's show has the same feeling as back then.
Can't see PGR ever coming back while Forza is still going. I thought the shadow drop was to be a new game? Hoping the new COD has the same feel as Cold War.
@HonestHick Hopefully it's the shadow drop that's being rumoured! I'm guessing it could also be a candidate for going over to the PS5. Gears 6 news would be welcomed.
@HonestHick Are all 5 not already available on gamepass? What is going to be in the collection that's different? I've not been keeping up with Gear of War news, but have noticed a few posts calling for a collection.
I might miss it! 😭 Will just have to check this site later on. Looking forward to seeing COD and the new Gears of War. Hoping there's news on the next Forza Horizon game.
@BAMozzy With the base game being free it likely more people will pay out the £30 option like for Forza and starfield. Still a £70 saving on the £100 vault edition if u already have GP and plan to keep using it.
I don't believe they weren't working on a strategy even before the deal went through. Like all of a sudden they've just realised how much COD makes and don't want to take the hit putting it on gamepass. They bought all these studios for exclusives and after getting them have decided they want to go multiplatform. Even worse they've started closing them down.
The guy is basically saying: After paying for the game and the DLC and maybe a few costume packs, there is no other way for us to get money from the customer like season/battle passes. This is a new way to open up a revenue stream.
I stopped playing at the end of season 1. Went back to Cold War and then even stopped playing that. Last weekend I decided to give WW2 a go. So going to try and 100% it. Got 10 more daily contracts to complete in multiplayer to finish it and then on to the single player. Leaving zombie to the end.
Played the game a couple of times when it first launched. Played it for the first time since last night and it's a massive improvement over the original release. Also hated the compulsory practice, so glad to see u can skip it now.
@Deljo Why have I taken it as a personal insult? I'm just pointing out that the game is the same as a full release. So that's why they're charging full price. There may have been discussions about just doing a story DLC for this year but then they obviously decided not to do that and went for a full release.
Played a few hours of the campaign and it's been good fun.
@Deljo It has a complete campaign, about 20 maps at launch, and Zombies! What did MW2 have that made it a proper release? This "It's DLC" should really stop. Some leaker said that there wasn't going to be a full release this year. Now randomly people have taken it as gospel.
I had a PS4 and after wrist surgery I bought an Xbox one because of the controller thumb placements and for forza / forza horizon. Forza horizon 2 is still one of my favourite games. PS5 is my main console but keep the series X for halo and forza horizon. Looking forward to starfield and the new Forza Motorsport to get me back into the Xbox way.
I will be skipping this year's entry completely. Hoping Treyarchs entry next year will be a lot more interesting.
@Cherip-the-Ripper In Cold War you could unlock skins by doing challenges in warzone.
@Markatron84 They're only carrying over because this year's entry was meant to be a premium add-on to MW2. Had heard it was going to be single player story only at one point.
Nice of them to do that just as mine is expiring. 😂😂 Got 36 months of gold last month. At least there's still some saving. Will maybe switch and start using the rewards points in 2 years time.
Found Stray to be very overrated. Was alright as a free game though. Will get the plats for both versions someday. Will not be playing on the Xbox though.
@nomither6 They're awful and don't think they've made a game on their own. Maybe WW2? They were meant to release a game after MW 19. They dropped the ball and Treyarch had to rush and release Cold War. Treyarch then had to split supporting Cold War with also helping them with Vanguard. This year's effort they're being assisted by IW. Though with it having zombies they've probably dragged in Treyarch as well. Only way I'll touch it is if it's free on gamepass.
This is probably the reason the game is so bad. If they've never experienced criticism then any turd will do. Not sure which is worse between this and the other guy being proud redfall. If you make something awful people are going to let you know.
@DionysoZ I have it downloaded already and got a good lot of free space. If I needed the space it'd be gone. Done a few of the things using the cloud. There was 1 that I went to do and it said lots of people were using it so wait time was 15 minutes! So just downloaded it and did something else while waiting.

Can't wait for this show. Hoping and expecting to be blown away. Especially after the awful Sony and SGF.

Re: Rumour: Octopath Traveler 2 Could Launch On Xbox Game Pass This Month
@HonestHick Will be interesting to see how many games start going over. Will make MS more money but they do need to keep games as exclusive.

Re: Call Of Duty: MW3's Next Update Contains Absolutely Tons Of New Content
I stopped playing at the end of season 1. Went back to Cold War and then even stopped playing that. Last weekend I decided to give WW2 a go. So going to try and 100% it. Got 10 more daily contracts to complete in multiplayer to finish it and then on to the single player. Leaving zombie to the end.

Re: Talking Point: Have You Ever Bought An Xbox For One Specific Game?

Re: Hands On: Stray Is A Cat-Tastic Adventure, And It's Now Available On Xbox
@BAMozzy @PsBoxSwitchOwner It's was on PS+ Extra. It being removed was the reason I finished it and got the plat for both PS4 and PS5 versions.

Re: The Xbox Live Gold To Game Pass 'Conversion Ratio' Has Gotten Worse

Re: Forza Horizon 1 & 2 Are Shutting Their Servers On Xbox This August
Have such nostalgia for Horizon 2, it's part of the reason I got an Xbox one.

I'll just catch up on the news articles after the show. After the playstation showcase I'm done watching these show live.
Re: Call Of Duty 2023 Reveal Reportedly Coming In August, Zombies Mode To Feature At Launch
@nomither6 Was that what it was, knew there was something they did that affected Cold War. I wish they would break the yearly releases.
Re: Call Of Duty 2023 Reveal Reportedly Coming In August, Zombies Mode To Feature At Launch
@nomither6 They're awful and don't think they've made a game on their own. Maybe WW2? They were meant to release a game after MW 19. They dropped the ball and Treyarch had to rush and release Cold War. Treyarch then had to split supporting Cold War with also helping them with Vanguard. This year's effort they're being assisted by IW. Though with it having zombies they've probably dragged in Treyarch as well. Only way I'll touch it is if it's free on gamepass.
Re: Call Of Duty 2023 Reveal Reportedly Coming In August, Zombies Mode To Feature At Launch
Being developed by Sledgehammer. So will be a hard pass. Will wait for Treyarchs next one in 2024. Hopefully it'll be as good as Cold War.
Re: Redfall Dev Reveals Sadness Over 'Mean Spirited' Feedback From Peers
This is probably the reason the game is so bad. If they've never experienced criticism then any turd will do. Not sure which is worse between this and the other guy being proud redfall. If you make something awful people are going to let you know.
Re: Video: Redfall Xbox Series X Vs. Xbox Series S Vs. PC Comparison
@DionysoZ I have it downloaded already and got a good lot of free space. If I needed the space it'd be gone. Done a few of the things using the cloud. There was 1 that I went to do and it said lots of people were using it so wait time was 15 minutes! So just downloaded it and did something else while waiting.
