It's about time!! I thought Xbox was going to lose out once again after the recent announcements. I've loved Ridge Racer since original arcade release all those years ago. You know when Namco and SEGA were kings of the arcade. Great soundtrack too. Still listen to CD now and again. RRRRRIIIDDDGGEE RRRRAAACCEERR!!! Hoping Hamster Corp bring more titles from this Golden age of arcade. Tekken, Soul Edge and many more.
You know what? I always wonder if Microsoft actually produced special edition Series S consoles based on some of their biggest franchises, would they sell a few more consoles?
Being the cheaper option surely a special edition machine would desirable by genaral consumers and collectors. I'd prefer to buy those over Series X Wraps.
Just Finished Dragon Age The Veilguard. 102 hours of gaming goodness. The last 5 hours or so were amazing. Best game I have played in along time and worth every penny. Shame about the dodgy reviews. Think they have contributed to poor sales figures. It's not a masterpiece it has faults. It is close though.
Our thoughts no longer matter. It doesn't matter which side of the fence you are on our opinions are no longer important. It is out of our hands. We have no more influence on the decisions Microsoft make.
It's all about money making, securing jobs and the future of video games.
@Millionski I'm with you on this one. Love this game. I'm 81 hours in and reckon, looking at the quest list I still have to get through , i've have at least another 20 hours to go.
I think the future of gaming has arrived. Some of us may not like it but we have to accept the industry is changing.
There are negative effects sure. You only have to look at the other industries to see that. For example cinemas closing due to cinema numbers declining due to streaming service subscription. I'm hoping the next xbox console is innovative just as Microsoft are suggesting. I also would some titles to remain exclusive otherwise I think the only true contender to nintendo will be PlayStation. A place where you can play sony and xbox in one place.
I'll wait for the gamepass release. I've got more than enough to play until then. Think this will be the best year for gamepass since the release of the series consoles.
I much prefer Horizon 4 over 5. Luckily mine came packaged with my xbox one s. It was the first game I played on it and I was blown away. It's even better looking on the series consoles. My advice, get it while you can.
Can't understand why they haven't made a Tom Clancey title utilising the Mario +Rabbids engine.
Surely a money maker across all platforms.
Or perhaps team up with Xbox for Halo Tactics.
They do good games, they just keep overpricing themselves out of the market.
So much competition these days not just on price but time to play the big titles.
I thought it was pretty good Better the Sonys show the other day. But I do think my feel good factor is because at long last Xbox owners have some reasons to smile. The last quarter of the year is looking good for Xbox.
@Banjo-
I agree Banjo. remember
When everybody plays we all win???
Come on nintendo. You'll won't be top dog forever.
We need fresh games that may be inspired by others of great gaming goodness. Don't knock them, we need alternatives to samey modern games, remasters and sequels of today.
Yes. I will try to purchase the controller. Keep missing out on the switch one. Looking forward to this. Gives me hope that Project Diva might eventually reach XBOX one day.
@anoyonmus Classic Xbox move. Could of shifted a few consoles this holiday. One step forward, 2 steps back. Unless the next Xbox is unbelievably special with some special exclusive games we could be looking at the beginning of the end. I'm waiting to see how it all pans out before I decide on my next console. I'll enjoy what I have in the meantime.

Re: EA Seems To Think That Live Service Would Have Helped Xbox RPG Dragon Age: The Veilguard
EA had my money for Dragon Age day one, and I loved it.
Can't see Why FC25 seems to be failing? It's constantly in the top 3 best sellers.

Re: Poll: Are You Buying The 'Early Access' Upgrade For Avowed?
I'll wait for the gamepass release.
I've got more than enough to play until then.
Think this will be the best year for gamepass since the release of the series consoles.
Re: Speculating On Xbox's 'Surprise Brand-New Game' To Be Shown At Dev Direct
Crackdown 4 or Gears Tactics 2 would be pleasing.
How about Halo Tactics?
My money is on Double Fine.
Re: Soapbox: I Can't Wait To See What Xbox Does With Activision This Year

Not the collectable toys necessarily but I quite liked the games.

I wonder how that compares to another best selling title, Minecraft?

Re: Talking Point: If Developer Direct Returns, Xbox Could Have A Killer 2025 Lineup
Perhaps they'll change the title to playstation direct?
Re: Xbox Apparently Thinks Making Hellblade 2 Exclusive Was 'A Mistake'
I think it could be a mistake.
But on the other hand I think that Indiana Jones should be exclusive to Xbox.
Re: Microsoft CEO: 'We Are Redefining What It Means To Be An Xbox Fan'
This is a little disappointing as I bought into series consoles for their exclusives.
I'll keep my series console for now, but looking at the Sony and nintendo for the next generation as Xbox will also be playable there, too.
Their strategy is right for Microsoft but killing Xbox console.
Re: PSA: Xbox 360's Two Crackdown Games Are Free On The Microsoft Store
I love these games.
Hoping for a Crackdown 4 announcement for Series consoles next year.
Re: Xbox's Phil Spencer Knows How Annoying The Forza Horizon 4 Situation Is
I much prefer Horizon 4 over 5.
Luckily mine came packaged with my xbox one s.
It was the first game I played on it and I was blown away. It's even better looking on the series consoles.
My advice, get it while you can.

Won't be day one, but it's on my list.
Re: Ubisoft's Prince Of Persia: The Lost Crown Team Reportedly 'Disbanded'
Can't understand why they haven't made a Tom Clancey title utilising the Mario +Rabbids engine.
Surely a money maker across all platforms.
Or perhaps team up with Xbox for Halo Tactics.
They do good games, they just keep overpricing themselves out of the market.
So much competition these days not just on price but time to play the big titles.
Hoping Might and Magic comes to Xbox.
Re: Xbox Exec Dismisses Rumour That He Doesn't Care About Banjo-Kazooie
Absolutely yes.
And keep it exclusive to Xbox.

Would more interested with more first party surprise announcements.
Re: Bethesda Unveils Custom Indiana Jones Xbox Series X Console
If they actually designed special edition themed consoles for retail, xbox might sell more consoles. Otherwise, this is just pointless.
