Please please please make the AI decent with a cohesive compelling story the visuals should be something but needs gameplay to back it up then perhaps Xbox will buy Crytek and fund more impressive games
Definately as a Line Of Duty fan not Definitely either way luckily I can watch come Monday. Mini OG XBOX, back compat and more Halo Infinite I think that's all until VGA's.
I will also uninstall MP for MCC thanks guys for tip. Post the 3 weekends spent on Infinite I cannot bring myself to play MP again it is time to move on. I do not agree with these armour sets and only want to see the odd very special armour set in Infinite's MP but money talks over all.
Best of frenemies and heck better the devil you know. I can't help wonder how many more millions of Gamepass subs Xbox will have by the time Sony have responded 23 million already is impressive. Halo Infinite, new Forza Motorsport & Horizon, Avowed, Wolfenstein sequel and who can forget Starfield. The future is brighter with Sony offering good competition. Imagine what Xbox will add each month in future with the revenue they will have especially now IOS added.
Got disk copy at launch (XSX) I uninstalled game today as decided to wait for XSX patch hopefully then the download and game will be final and polished. I can't be doing with constant patches so happy to wait till March
Played through today on XSX it has impressive visuals and gameplay. I would give 8/10 provided you take advantage of it being included on GPU. I hope the Coalition take what has been done here into Gears 6 then be allowed to work on another or new IP as compared to 343i they deserve trust and resources.
The reason game was delayed last time was due to base consoles. I have XSX but the game should have been delayed until 2021 when ready for XSX and PS5 as back compat versions are so inferior to PC regardless of consoles being $499 the experience and visuals are not what I had expected or hoped for. I have not played since launch day and won't until patched and upto snuff but in CDPR I trust to get it right.
More bugs than bugsnax I got game on 9th on disk played for 90 mins & decided to wait so back to my 120+ hours in Valhalla. I'm sure CDPR will bring game upto snuff at least on PS4 Pro XB1X but I really hope next generation patch is not far off as I will do my 2nd & 3rd playthroughs then.
As per Dealer and Fonz on RDX podcast don't forget to calibrate HDR in settings IF you have a TV that does proper HDR apparently makes a big difference. Currently waiting on my XSX via UPS courier and will calibrate on my LG B9 55'
@hallower1980 I was lucky and ordered on Microsoft store within 10 minutes after checkout taking ages and mine is being delivered by UPS today I cannot wait. Enjoy yours when it comes.
Sony and Jim Ryan who wants to play old games? and lies like we believe in generations. Thankfully I trust Phil Spencer and Xbox division to smash this generation.
I hope this is not like in sport where a manager is given a vote of confidence then is sacked. I'm happy at current pricing and am glad to hear sustainable but we will see if price remains the same and I hope that ALL future 1st party big bangers are always on Gamepass and not excluded from the service.
I wonder if this will be repeated on many other games on Series S. I have XSX coming on 10th but this is not good news in terms of parity versus XSX excluding 4K and higher textures. I would have expected ray tracing on S but toned down.
@Olliemar28 I didn't think they dwelled on share button it is a nice addition to the best in class controller. November 10th can't come soon enough for my Doom Eternal playthrough before Cyberpunk 2077.
@Medic_Alert acoustics yes but if PS5 runs hotter I won't be surprised. Digital foundry will show us the small-medium-large differences on multiplatform games. Series X for me.
I want Infinite to be one complete game at launch although I think it will have content added so no Halo 7. People need to remember it's cross gen so set graphical expectations accordingly as long as it's 4K60 campaign on XSX and @1440 60 on XSS its the quality of the campaign that matters most to me after Halo 4 & 5.
Doom Eternal day 1 for me on Gamepass I held off playing until Series X finish that after dying x100 then Cyberpunk 2077 on 19th November then will look for other games.
Series S will sell many units meaning more game sales meaning more profits for Devs simple yet whinging continues its CPU clock is better than PS5 for goodness sake.
I won't watch unboxing just here for comments. Re game performance 60 is fine after so many 30 titles and 120 will be with concessions anyway I have LGB9 55 but 60 will do for me I would prefer more effects and better textures and LOD. Enjoy your Xbox Series consoles guys.
@Senua IGN shame on them at least GameSpot uploads were better. I never expected Dirt to look better than FH4 but looks fun and 120FPS mode is nice to have. The next Forza will set the benchmark as looks to be next gen only thankfully.
Could widespread adoption of this allow games to be sold with an option to buy the single player or multiplayer only very unlikely but could lead to more sales doubtful I know but give players more options.
PS4 might have sold 110-115 million and PS5 will do same or better but what is actual attach rate PS5 is such a small % of global gaming Xbox don't need to put any of games acquired by purchasing Zenimax on PS5 I certainly don't see them on Amazon's new cloud service. Xbox needs diversity and exclusives after all and to recoup the $7.5 billion it only needs Xbox, Gamepass, xCloud and PC.
I played and finished Halo 3 ODST for first time on PC at 4K and thoroughly enjoyed it not as good as Halo 1-3 or Reach but I recommend. I cannot wait for more news on Halo Infinite.
@Dezzy70 article updated ouch £219.99 I bought a 1TB Sabrent Rocket PCIE4 NVMe for PC so this is a hard pass for me. Hopefully Xbox download sizes will be a lot smaller and or let us choose to download only what we need.
@Somberpizza seriously doubtful (just like add on for Outer World's was extra) it will be paid albeit possibly discounted if we are lucky. Great generation for Xbox coming up.
@Dezzy70 no but Xbox will put some focus on that now as without Halo Xbox would love Eternal to look it's best. I wonder will Eternal even be upgraded for PS5 now.
In the context of article the hand could have been turned around. The PS5 is large and the disk drive model looks even worse my bet is that Series X is still quieter. The series S is so small and X is a tower of power.
Surely Halo will launch in line with its anniversary hopefully looking a lot better with zero pop in on XSX/XSS or PC the lighting was my main issue gameplay looked on point.
@TooBarFoo curse the bots apparently Nvidia are enabling CAPTCHA to stop bots so perhaps still a chance of a 3080 FE. The AIB prices aren't great especially ASUS ROG OC at 1935Mhz.
@FraserG same here but it took a while but still had order confirmation by 08:10 but hey site is global imagine the traffic. So pleased to purchase XSX if only a 3080 was so easy.
