@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.

@Fiendish-Beaver
Same here just go easy Hero mode like me.
That Team Ninja load up screen felt good.

I’m going for both of these NG4 ready to go and evil west downloading I like vampires 🧛

@Titntin
Yep it horses for courses, different things for different folk, even in gaming. 🤣

@Titntin
Yep I probably don’t know I just read it, on here I think ages ago. Like I put I read up, not that I work in the business and fully understand. 🤣

However was interesting to learn about the patent on quick resume.

Either way when all said and done, it’s a great feature for me and always used.

The game does what I expected it to do and fantastically.

Some reviews moaning about the story or linear style levels. But when they review an next open world game they will moan about the open world. Or a story driven game and its story.
I think some reviewers seem to be entitled nowadays.

Meta 83 and when comparing to game like ghost of Yotei 86, then NG4 has done really well.

@Titntin
I just think it’s a great feature for multiple game playing.
Like how I have yooka replyee, Avowed and NG4
All on the go, seemless switching exactly where I left off in seconds.

I just wish PS had it as well and I read up it’s a simple thing to do.

@Coletrain
Off topic, where are the NG4 reviews.
Pure Xbox must know the review embargo, which other sites must have wrong as yet no reviews.

How about Sony add quick resume that amazing series x feature, that is just a mini hard drive dump to do.
Something for the gamers.

When I come of X using quick resume with about 3 games on the go, it seems such a pain on the Pro going through the start screens and also going back to the last save.

Quick resume starts me at the exact place I left it I like have never been a way and never lets me down.

Reading others thoughts above if Xbox are going home console hybrid like this device.
They seem to have an awful lot to put right and get right.

Perhaps this handheld is Sonys version of PS5 Pro with PSSR, let’s get it out and test and improve for the next generation.

I’m a pure TV gamer only.
If I was a handheld gamer then definitely yes.

Also just download prince of Persia lost crown as its now GPU with Ubisoft.

Yooke replay and Avowed series x.

@Banjo-
The switch 2 did surprise a bit sales wise so far.
We all knew it would be popular but it did extra well so far.
I thought the price £400 for a 3tflop console at best would slow the sales a bit.
Anyway well done to them.

@Banjo-
You are spot on with some of your points.
I think it would hurt Sony very very little or not at all to go day one on Xbox with their studios games.

Yes we would have fan boys crying for a day or two, dust settles, PS console sales not affected at all.
Mainly because the user bases are done and settled and defined now, so long into the console generations.

Sony for me are missing out on extra game sales, because they are either too scared to take the plunge or just don’t see the potential.

Or they could take the approach of release on Xbox 6 to 9 months later and possible get some Xbox owners move to Sony consoles as they want to play the Sony games day one and on a Sony console or PS5 Pro to have the best version or dual-sense controller features.

Sony to me are being short sited for this day and age in the cycle of consoles over the decades.

@Coletrain @Banjo- @HonestHick
I put this on a push square article about ghost of Yotei sales, not as click bait, as you can tell by what I put.
But what do you think about Sony being multiplatform:

For me this is where Sony maybe sometimes have to consider in this day and age multiplatform releases.
Look at battlefield 6 sitting at around 7 million sold already.
I guess and it will be all about money and if Sony would lose to many console sales over day one multi platform releases.
If they lost zero console sales selling multiplatform but gained very good game sales then it’s a win money wise for sure.
I think the power of the PlayStation and owning the console is underestimated and Sony would not lose hardly any console sales in the big wide general public world.

@HonestHick
Yep things are definitely starting to slowly change in the game console home market. It’s still very strong with the PS5 and Switch 2.
And next generation could be slightly different.
But one thing is for definitely sure, the companies will go where the money is or where they think the money is.

Being a degree qualified engineer and in aerospace engineering with one company since the age of 16 I went all geeky over the rapid prototyping and the, what are called CNC machines in the background 🤣

PS players are hanging it out waiting for COD. 🤣

Fingers crossed for a great COD campaign in November.

It’s obviously this is where the Xbox will go with their next home console, if we can officially call it that.
You will have a front end Xbox UI for older games from series x and backwards and game pass ultimate for all Xbox studio games and some third parties on a PC UI, then of course the PC UI will allow the use of PC games from Sony.

We saw this last year at that event, where they showed Halo running on Unreal 5.
You could just tell this was going to be the original being super remade.
Glad all will get to play this game across many platforms.
For me I will go series x as I have stacked GPU at the very old cheap price until March 2027.
