Off subject and concern for the next Xbox PC thing but with windows OS etc.

Just watched DF video on all this and the experience with windows sounds terrible, things like when updates arrive HDR and DRM getting issues, monitors blanking, graphics cards messing up.

That is all one massive concern for a console PC hybrid operating in windows on the PC gaming side. It actually even really turns me of this hybrid thing on the PC gaming side, overall.

Of course with DF its current user experience and chat, but it sounds awful.

The wasted money and time these companies miss-manage is almost illegally insane.
You could probably feed the starving of the world.

It’s great we get some new levels and give’s another reason to return to Halo.
I have to smile, as soon as you goto official UK PlayStation, it opens up with Halo there, bang right in your face.
Like they have nothing else to advertise with Sonys one big AAA game a year policy.
They really have slipped done in my opinion compared to the amazing PS4 era and even the start of the PS5 era.

@Coletrain
Cheers,
Guess unreal 5 should use something else or get it sorted out.
Bad really from such a renowned team.

@Banjo-
I would think year 2027. Though I would prefer 2028.
As due to various circumstances, current gen really hasn’t shown us the best of yet.

@Coletrain
Why is Unreal 5 so bad this generation.
I think they went from a really good U4 last generation to a terrible U5 this generation?

It will run just great on series X with unreal 5.
And could be the best console version, even against the Pro.
As the series x has some built in hardware that helps with unreal 5 engine things.
I read that somewhere, so someone please let me know.

@Coletrain @Banjo-
Absolutely we know what Sony and Nintendo are doing, that’s my point.
So why don’t Microsoft just let the cat out bag and give us the full details.
It is sort of exciting overall, but enough is enough now.

@Coletrain
Definitely no series x complaints from me and GPU stacked March 2027.
I don’t get the secrets though unless they don’t know really. 🤣
It’s not like Nintendo and Sony are going to copy them, not next generation anyway.

@Coletrain
They are probably leaving it until the last minute, so we stick around until all is revealed, in case we leave now if we don’t like.
I mean they must have a had some leave GPU due to the price increase.

@Cakefish
That’s what I was thinking.
But you hear things about games not running that great on windows or the unit needs more resource/power.
what I heard, I have no idea.

@kmtrain83
Absolutely have not a clue.
For all we know the Xbox part might be cloud gaming only, boo.
And the PC part for new games fully downloaded for the full experience and no new Xbox console games going forward for download.
Wish they would just come out with it all and ease my mind, the longer they keep it hidden the more will divert to the other two, where certainty is as good as known.

@Cakefish @Fiendish-Beaver
So the console only experience side of things.
Will have a version of a new game and fully download experience?
Or, new games will be on the PC side of the console only and of course fully download experience?

Really can’t see the point of having both a console version of a new game and PC version available on one device.
Think there is more to this.

Looking forward to this good ole remake of an amazing FPS campaign shooter.

See the thing is also as I just pointed out on push square.
It’s not my fault Sony won’t make a resistance or killzone anymore.

Single player campaign for me all the way.

They of course have analysed peoples time on devices. Which of course includes everything.
Years ago it would up against playing in the woods or sport etc.
now it’s more other electronic services.
They failed console wise but it is a bit far fetched to keep blaming other activities all the time.

@Cakefish
I’m not to sure really, but it is what it is.
Also I’ve given up thinking about it to hard exclusive wise.

I think now more mellow and people can chose to play on what console they wish with some Xbox games and either pay or use a subscription.

Financially because I have GPU stacked until March 2027 it is great for me.
Also as you know I enjoy quick resume so much and the Xbox controller ergonomically more the dualsense, so it works out good for my Xbox studio games.
Also 2026 should be a really good Xbox studio year.

@Cakefish
Yep a good theory if there is a logical answer to those at Microsoft 🤣

@Fiendish-Beaver @Banjo- @Coletrain @Cakefish
What I fined strange with Xbox is according to what I have read FH6 will not be day one PS5.
Why do halo and not FH6.
Especially as FH5 did well on PS5.

Was tempted with early access but very busy this weekend so will wait for GPU next week.

Yooka replyeee mainly.

@Weebleman
He has me switch 2 at Uni for now.

@PsBoxSwitchOwner
I kept it in the end.
2025 had NG4, OW2 and COD
Then thought now 2026
High on life 2
Halo
FH6
COD
and probably 2 more big ones maybe.
With stacked GPU at the old old rate of £12
Seemed crazy to leave.

Let everyone play.
I shall play on series x with my stacked GPU.
2026 seeming to be a great GPU year.

@Fiendish-Beaver
Getting on ok, went hero mode but changed to normal level after ten minutes.
It’s fast and really good and does remind me of the old NG games.
Linear levels with little hidden off shoots.
Makes a nice change to the open world scene.

As for ADHD, I just only learn a few simple moves and block out the others.
I have about a 6 move set, mainly basic and don’t do the rest complex ones.

@Fiendish-Beaver
Also what I mentioned before games coming next year.
High on life 2
FH6
Halo
And what ever else get confirmed.
It’s a good time now and in 2026 to have a series x and GPU, especially when it’s stacked cheap until 2027

@Fiendish-Beaver
Still kept my series x mainly due to GPU and games that are out. Been playing NG4
So have downloaded OW2 ready for next week.
You must have got the early access.

@Fiendish-Beaver
Cheers for the heads up.
What console or PC you playing on?

@Fiendish-Beaver
How you doing on Outerworlds 2.
Me not started yet.

AI WILL NOT GO AWAY.
I work in aerospace and have a person employed to develop and encourage the use of AI in the workforce.
We have training on it next week.

@Fiendish-Beaver
Sorry chap, when that unreal 5 demo of halo was broadcast. Straight away I said that will be the Halo remake. That is what they are doing, not just learning unreal 5, like Xbox said.

Have not been this excited about an up and coming probably since TOTK and Mario Odyssey.
You have remember this takes me back to original Xbox and playing Halo for the first time ever.
And this remake and with the additions can’t come soon enough.
Also with FH6 confined for 2026
That is 2 GPU show stoppers for me already.

@Kezelpaso
Thank you for your fantastic efforts on all things Xbox.

@Kezelpaso
Sorry see you got that in the other article.

@Kezelpaso
Correct me if I’m wrong.
But I think there is 3 new prequel missions in the game as well.

@Fiendish-Beaver
Well I called right on the dot, since that unreal 5 demo.
Really cant wait for that game and one for 2026 🤣
Guess you read the news. Halo.

Also hope you enjoying Outerworlds 2 and your cooking went well.
Have not jumped into early access but downloaded ready on GPU.

Really don’t care PS5 gets the game.
I get it on series x with GPU, cheaply stacked.

Can’t wait called this since that unreal 5 demo.
Keep your series x gang, will probably play better than even Pro as it’s unreal 5.
Also on GPU day one of course.

@Fiendish-Beaver
Next year possible only, what do you think
FH6
Fable
Gears
Clock work game
Halo remake

@Fiendish-Beaver
I also look at it another way.
How many single player games to we get from the other two each year, the higher end ones.
Sony one main and one smaller one, we can see their road map until end of 2027.
Nintendo now switch 2 has settled a little, probably one main and a couple of lesser titles.
Xbox doesn’t do that bad considering the others and their respective studios.

@andrewsqual
Absolutely zero for Avowed.
I’m not that crazy 🤣

@Fiendish-Beaver
You are spot on. With both pure and push
When it comes to their respective console scores.

@Fiendish-Beaver
Probably an 8 then 🤣

Well 85 on meta so Xbox studios going in the right direction.
Remember ghost of Yotei was an 86, supposedly from the superior Sony studios.

@Fiendish-Beaver
Because you will probably know.
Did or will Ghost of Yotei make the 30% target
Out of interest.
Just trying to get a balance here.

Good month with NG4 and all being well Outerworlds 2 should be a great game.

Not for me, TV gaming only.
But if they go this way with the next home hybrid console they really need to sort this stuff out.
People won’t want to mess around like this.
Was watching online some reviewer updating three different, store front or operating requirements.
And windows 11 using the consoles resources rather than being used to max out the games graphics etc.

I’m all for the new hybrid home console, but it needs to be slick, especially at the price it could be.

@kmtrain83
Good luck with that 🤣🤣🤣

People spend £1000 on a mobile phone then get a new one after 3 years.
This is one analysis that drives these console prices up.

Just give me the most powerful machine I can play my games on from GPU and from Sony through other stores, to put under my TV and be like a console.
Will look forward to it.

I don’t think next generation is really needed but it depends when it arrives.
But if you want the latest and best, you have to go with it.
Or just stay with your existing console.
