@TheGiraffe true but there is also all the great back catalog of games to think of as well no just future games - reason I got series x along side PS5. Look after yourself 👍🏻
@Browntrouser I don’t think they said FU Xbox at all! If I remember (please correct me), the studio is compromised of two brothers. That’s it! I think they always wanted multi platform but budget and team size constrained everything. So they developed for PS5 first. Nothing wrong with that. Xbox is now getting a great game!
PS players are getting Xbox games ‘late’ , but hey! New games! Win!!
@Hellostranger game pass only?! Really? Some people can’t justify gamepass financially or don’t want it. Also some areas have really slow or capped internet. Lol, that is NOT how you give gamers choices.
@rustyduck you maybe right on that, what MS stating they have lost ‘the console war’ and with the buying up lately they might just be games service provider (like steam).
@Zoidpilot4 wow! Didn’t know you were autistic! So glad video games help you so much👍🏻 I have a work colleague who’s son is autistic and since he got him a switch, he says the transformation is incredible.
I have suffered from chronic depression since I was 15 (really bad childhood) but between my wife and games, I have managed to deal with it without resorting to medication.
I remember when video games had a negative press associated with them. Now, they help sooo many people cope in so many different ways, it really is fantastic to see/hear.
@Banjo- cannot say if MS will be terrified as such, but it will definitely be ‘ undesirable’ to work with them for sure. Like I said previously, the fallout is going to long and painful.
@Zoidpilot4 agree with your points. I have been following this on all three sister sites.
I have all three consoles and love all of them.
But…. I do wonder what the reaction from pure Xbox fans would be if PlayStation ‘died’ and disappeared.
My awesome Wife made the decision for me at the weekend.
Told me she had ordered a series s.
Imagine my surprise when she brought home a series x, with a note saying ‘Surprise!’
@Lastatopiny ‘May as well buy a PC an upgrade every couple of years.’
Yep 👍🏻 I used to do that.
That s**t gets old real fast, I can tell you!
Fine if you have the cash to blow.
Hence my series x purchase. Good for a few years👍🏻all the gaming goodness I want and at a cheaper price.
@LordFunkalot Gamepass is great value, but for me I only have some weekend time to game ( you know life, work etc) so not really good for me. But I can see why others love it👍🏻
@Kaloudz yeah get it pushsquare as well. I ignore them, they are coming from a place of ignorance anyways. I just love gaming! I tend to like 3rd person games( don’t have skills for FPS on controller) turn based ( love xcom games) also like indies like Journey, inside, limbo et al.
@Kaloudz yeah real good. I will admit I’m also PlayStation (always have been) but also had gaming PC rig, but sooo sick of graphics card arms race, that I ditched it. Got Series X , coz A) love gaming that is plug and play and B)……. Starfield!!!!!!! I mean, damn! This looks sooooo good! Glad to be aboard!!!

@TheGiraffe “Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet - but I don't own a PS5” - if funds allow, buy one, would be worth it.

Re: EA Is Laying Off 5% Of Its Workforce
“accelerating industry transformation".
No s**t sherlock!!!!
Transforming it into a wasteland of burnout, overwhelmed devs.
Jeez, this crapshoot is never ending.
Re: Microsoft Announces Official Date & Time For 'Updates On The Xbox Business'
@OldGamer999 very interesting dialogue you have brought up today. At work, nobody, and I mean, NOBODY, talks about Xbox games.
Bring it up in conversation and tumbleweed rolls through the room.
Mention PlayStation or Switch, and boom! Can’t get a word in edge ways.
Weird, but EXACTLY as you describe.

Would be a shame if they did but time will tell.
Re: Jim Ryan Wasn't Overly Concerned About Call Of Duty Xbox Exclusivity
Love the picture at the top of the article 😂😂

Re: Sarah Bond: Xbox Game Pass Ultimate's Least Popular Feature Is Cloud Gaming
@Zoidpilot4 love your profile picture 👍🏻 In the uk we had Spider-Man weekly comic with Zoids as a back up strip.
It got sooo popular that people bought it for that alone!!
Ah the 80’s! 😁

Sir, I salute you!
Re: Sarah Bond: Xbox Game Pass Ultimate's Least Popular Feature Is Cloud Gaming
@Banjo- genuine question. Why do they need to ‘port’ to pc? Are they developed(coded) on pc in the first place?
Re: Sarah Bond: Xbox Game Pass Ultimate's Least Popular Feature Is Cloud Gaming
@Zoidpilot4 oohhh yeeess! Gonna happen for sure!
Ringside tickets bought by Nintendo and PC gamers😂

Re: Sarah Bond: Xbox Game Pass Ultimate's Least Popular Feature Is Cloud Gaming
@Zoidpilot4 agree about toxicity on push. I too love PS5, but say something ‘deemed’ negative and oh boy! Do you hear about it.
I chose my words verrry carefully over there. 😂
Re: Sarah Bond: Xbox Game Pass Ultimate's Least Popular Feature Is Cloud Gaming
Win or lose, I think this is getting really dirty on all sides and the fall out is going to last for years after.

Would be interesting.

Re: The Xbox Series X Is Basically A 'Mid-Gen' Console Already, Suggests Old Microsoft Comment
Just as well, just got my first ever Xbox (Series X)at the weekend! Nice to know it will be current for a few years yet.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (June 17-18)
Nothing on Xbox at the moment……but I am getting my series s tomorrow! And just picked up the Starfield controller this morning.
Normally PlayStation and Nintendo user, but damn! Starfield looks just tooo good to pass on!
Roll on September. 👍🏻
