PhhhCough

Don't worry about the outside noise and make a great game to shut people up. But take into consideration games like the witcher III, elden ring, botw, horizon series, GoTsushi, etc, have come out since fable and changed the genre for the better. Can't be sitting on your past deeds and expect it to be a hit. Doesn't have to be revolutionary, just equal or better to whats come before it.

Gonna sound like a broken record, but I hope the controls are updated.

So this will be an xbox super serious series x-clusive? Expected release date of 2030?

That summer of play, state of play, whatever it's called, had a good game plan. Show gameplay trailers with release dates. Now, if ms/xb can follow suit, great. Here's to hoping🤞😬

That is the "sweet spot" for series s. Don't know why more devs/pubs target those numbers. Get it to 60fps, then work on upping/lowering the resolution.

@SoulChimera score! I wonder if the higher ps tiers will have a one week trial.

I've said it before, gameplay and release date trailers. I care not for these "announcement" trailers.

@MrConstantina have you tried changing your region to US? Does that make it available? Anybody know?

@GuyinPA75 yes, it is ultimate. I get my 1yr xbox live gold for $45ish(eneba dot com). Then upgrade to gamepass ultimate, $15, via the xbox dashboard. But you HAVE to wait for your current sub to lapse, because if you add the 1yr xblg, it'll convert to 6months of your current gamepass, instead. I think you can stack 3yrs of xblg before converting.

It's still better to let your sub lapse, then do the xbox live gold hack again. I get a year of gamepass for $60.

I used about 46k points to get a $50 giftcard for tiny tina's, back in mid april. I'm already at 24k pts. Maybe I had left over points, cause that seems a little high for a months time. But I digress, free money is free money.

Xbox is synonymous with gamepass, now. If rebellion were to skip out on gamepass, that's a lot of eyes/players they would miss out on. So it's good to take that upfront money, whilst selling on xbox, still and elsewhere. If gotg got $10m, I could see this getting about $8m, give or take, considering how well it is.

The narrative "gamepass might hurt sales" seems to forget the payment(s) the devs/pubs get, to put their game's on the gamepass. Also, whether the game's sales are 8% or 80%, a game on gamepass, still sells on xbox.

I say do it. More the merrier. I won't get it. But if a midgen refresh allows more consoles(I know, right?!) to be in the wild, why not.

The mid-gen refresh is what hurts the base console.....and it being hella old. Games run fine on the xbox one x, I hear. But when the install base for the xbo/ps4 is 150m+, why would you, as a dev, purposely leave that money on the table. Especially if you aren't using the ps5/xbsx to it's full advantage? Would I like them to leave xbo/ps4 behind, sure. But do what you have to do, to get yours and the funding to make great games...so long as it isn't MTs.

Ps.
If they can implement xcloud gaming with little to no latency, either input or graphical fidelity, then keep promoting it.

This guy, fries, has a loser mentality. "It's not gonna move the needle, so why bother." With his thought process and outlook, a lot of companies wouldn't have done anything, because what's the point.

Gamepass can hurt sales, if people are willing to wait. It can help if people are gonna buy a game after or before it leaves the service. It's all subjective to the individual. Same with $70 full price games. If it sells, good, more money. But if people are going to wait for a sale, doesn't that hurt just as much?
So, in summation gaming, now-a-days, is bad for gaming.

"Woulda, coulda, shoulda"
But who knows if ms said yes, that they would tap insomniac to create an xb spiderman game, and would it have been any good, etc. The way it played out, we have an excellent spiderman game now. If ms/xb wants that comic book money get a contract with image and spawn, try to get xmen for the xbox, etc. If not, make great games AND release them in a timely manner.

Man, figuring out the button pattern, to play the demo of metal wolf chaos, was a moment I remember fondly.

I'm hoping for some gameplay trailers and release date trailers. Not more announcement trailers.

I just want 8k 240hz gaming, beamed directly into my brain stem already.

If you took away the armor and changed the covenant, slightly, it wouldnt be recognizable as halo. And that's the problem. The show is so different from anything we've been accustomed to, ie games/books, they shouldve just called it something else, entirely, or at least from a different spartan's perspective. Not THEE Master Chief.

I'm glad people are enjoying it. But I couldn't, not as a Halo vehicle.
The Halo games: when can we see master chief's face??
The Halo show: here's master chief's face AND... butt.

They do this ever so often, take a survey, gauge "interest". Then proceed to ignore all requests. I don't care anymore.

Any idea on the RE 2/3 nextgen(currentgen?) update?

Life goes on. The sun will rise, the rabbits will hump underbrush. I'd rather have it done right, than right now. Plenty of games to play in the meanwhile. If y'all need suggestions, I'm sure people will oblige.

When it comes to battlefield, it doesn't have to be the prettiest, just the most fun. Look at bf:bc2, must've had 120+hrs in that multiplayer.

Dagnabbit! This would've saved me a lot of double dipping. But I guess patience would've done the same. C'est la vie.

Well, they also said a subscription service wasn't sustainable and yet here we are. So who knows, only time will tell.

That sucks for the ones who weren't able to upgrade..

..but, about time. Ready for the xbsx/ps5's full potential.

🤣🤣🤣oOO-kay..
Receiving death threats from a video game fanboy is laughable. They're too scared, fat and lazy to go outside, let alone trying to accomplish a feat of violence.

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Techland is great. AND they upgraded everyone who had the base game, only, to the next tier up. Makes me wonder what the future holds for DL2. Another 7 years of contents and updates??

Newegg has the 1TB memory card for $190+tax

June 12th, 6pm bst? Okay, I'll be here june 13th. Can't wait.

@Would_you_kindly right on! Different strokes, for different folks. I give halo infinite a B-. Good for one play through and gamepass access.

@blinx01 if you know where to look and have ms rewards, things can get considerably cheaper, digitally.

The real question is...
..will this affect Babylon's fall?

This show sucks. The quality of the halo, reach, odst trailers are miles better than this.

If devs could target 1440p/60hz on series s or at least 1080p/60+hz, I'd appreciate that, thanks. If I wanted my games and console to have ray tracing, I'm sure I'd play it on the series x or ps5.

I'm eagerly awaiting details on replaced and midnight fight express.

First the ubishyte not coming to gpu and now this?? I guess ms is doing some quality control, finally😆

3 easy achievements from zombie army 4:
Ach 1. Character creation screen, doff a hat
Ach 2, 3. Just play the game for 5-10mins.

When playing on the series s, with a compatible tv/monitor, which do you prefer? 1080/120 or 1440/60?

A dual boot mode, so we can have a series x, on one hand and a mid tier pc, on the other.

343 releases roadmap and to cut off the fervor and the likes, from the crowd, they "admit" they're not happy with it. Y'all released it and the content within. No one to blame but themselves.

We have had our fair share of rushed horrid games. When a dev says we need more time, we tend to listen, especially nowadays. The fact they've been so mum on the topic and now are saying this, shows the lack of faith in themselves.

The "workaround" is deleting or moving games around. You don't need 32 games on your ssd. Especially if you havent played some, in quite some time.
Who knew smart delivery was gonna be a bother for some people.

Should Game Pass Ultimate Add Free Trials For All Xbox Games?

No. Free trials for all xbox gamers, regardless of tier or system.

Buy a playstation, xbox and nintendo, problem solved. NEXT!!

Im just hoping for some exclusives or games that utilize the series x, from all these acquisitions, not just more back catalogue games added to the service.

Great read. At an 8, I'm gonna take a go...after elden ring, tiny Tina's, uncharted collection...
Hopefully by then, it'll be on gamepass or sale..might get it sooner, rather than later.

Wasn't this a thing, a few months back? Didn't ubi say "..we're open to being acquired.." and "..so long as we have the freedom to continue to do what we want.."
So in essence, give us money and leave us alone. I guess you get access to the backlog, etc. Sounds like ubi is getting desperate. It's last call and no one is looking their way.

An original xbox game, the thing
A 360 game, the orange box
An xbo game, arkham trilogy
