I personally have never enjoyed most From Software games so I could care less if they became exclusive to the Playstation.

My guess is that it's the next Halo or Gears of War game.

I personally don't care if Xbox studios titles eventually end up on other platforms because I am seeing more and more titles that I am interested in getting a Xbox release. Most games do get a Xbox release, even if it's digital only and most JRPG games are becoming available on the Xbox and personally the unique JRPG games are the main reason for me to play the Playstation in the first place. I personally see the Xbox console as a platform that has huge potential were as the other consoles are largely at their peak.

I am not personally surprised developers don't want to spend money creating physical versions which are likely to be unsold. I am guessing they need to print a large number otherwise they are likely loosing money. Since the trend is towards digital games, even more so on the Xbox developer don't both with a physical release.

I would give 5 points to Hogwards Legacy. I would also give 4 points to Star Wars Survivor. Genin Impact gets 3 points.

Streaming games can be useful, to a degree. When you have a title that can be 50 - 120 GB in size, it much easier to simply stream the game rather the download the game and have it take up space on the SSD drive which is limited for space. The new title Gehina Impact can be streamed with cloud gaming which is useful.

I just wait until the whole show is available on Youtube then skim through the entire show in a few minutes. The only thing I am interested is Civilization. The Civ composer will be at the show and the theme of the new game might be revealed along with more gameplay pre launch.

I think it's a complex problem, MS is largely to blame but think that there is just as many issues about publishers pulling the rights from the Xbox stores and MS has to go through and pull the game from purchase. I think another problem is developers have published games on the Xbox store and have abandoned them and MS is stuck with games they don't have full rights to. I think MS should include clauses in publishers contracts that the publishers doesn't update and game after a very long time, 4-5 years MS gains the rights to the games so long as the original publisher doesn't claim the rights. Agreements should also include the rights to retain all previously licensed games in perpetuity, so the publishers and demand the older games get removed from licensing libraries. The problems could also be as simple as a junior engineer get assigned to fix a problem with a particular game page and possibly someone get lazy or can't find any other solution and simply removes the back end store page so they can mark the problem as "solved".

I have not had any games go missing but I have noticed that frequently the Xbox store needs to run a update to the Xbox store. I only noticed this because I tend to have a slower connection and the Xbox store update frequently get stuck updating. I also see that once you "buy" a game it might take a few minutes to show as owned. The only game that ever just disappeared was a game called contract? which was a contra clone.

@Frmknst You can keep access to the games as long as you stay subscribed to game pass ultimate, or you could just outright buy the game and you no longer need to stay subscribed. Your choice.

Persona 3 reloaded will almost certainly be leaving in January or February. Any games that are multiplayer are usually a preference to stay on game pass. Recently it seems they are dropping games that are under preforming, at least that is what it seems like.

On the X1 the sleep mode was far better since if you used shutdown it would take a few minutes to get the X1 up to speed to see what games you have to play. The series Xbox has a better restart mode, but unfortunately any quick resume games don't tend to work after a shutdown. Yes the Xbox is using power but the cost savings of the shutdown is minimal.

X360 titles are considered simply owned on the X1 or better regardless if they were purchased or claimed with gold. For any X1 titles they are listed in a separate section on your library as games with gold, and they are available with any game pass membership. For anyone who hasn't claimed any titles with gold, the gold section likely won't appear.

I think that the entire console market is very challenging going forward. In the end the deciding factor will tend to be profitability over console sales. Xbox is in 3rd place for console sales but they are profitable and have room to grow. Playstation and Nintendo are at the top but are struggling to get any more growth. Nintendo has been very successful with the switch but just look back at their failures. The N64 was a very impressive console when it was released and was very capable, but it sales were bad. The WiiU improved on many of the problems with the Wii, but it didn't make enough money so it was dumped in favour of the switch. All of Nintendo previous handheld have been reasonably successful but they wanted to merge the two lines with the switch. Playstation has been very successful but I personally feel that Sony is turning into Sega when it comes to their consoles. The original reason why I started playing on the ps1 was the unique RPG/JRPG that were available. Now more and more of these games are available on Xbox consoles so I have less reason to play on my Playstation. Most RPG/JRPG are the bread and butter of console games. They may or may not have great sales but they often bring in new gamers, and that is what grows console sales.

Well for me the Crackdown games tend to be play it through once then never play it again. For me they have almost no replay value. I believe this is what hurts the sales of the game and why they end up being free.

Yes it a dull dashboard, but much of the original functionality centred around interconnection with the Xbox marketplace. Now that the marketplace is gone this is all that left. I personally thought the NXE dashboard was one of the best. The metro/kinect dashboard largely broke much of the functionality in my opinion. Still it nice it has some functionality, and it will play a select handful of original Xbox games so it still useful, to a degree.

I believe what MS original said was that it was stopping sending more series consoles to the country. If sales are slow and they can be sold elsewhere then that what MS likely decided to help sales in other regions. That my take on the whole story.

Anything that is not multi player. Most multiplayer games tend to take way too much time and are only good if you have plenty of time to spare.

I now never even consider "professional reviewers" for their opinions to really matter. To me I would more tend to look at gamers reviews which give a unbiased opinion of the games. I don't consider reviews that give 10/10 and say almost nothing or reviews that give it perhaps 2 or 3 out of 10 and again say almost nothing. I want to know what someone's honest first impression of the game. For most professional reviewers they likely have played the game less then 5 hours but then they write a review.

Much of the reason why FF7 did get a X1 release was due to the VCR X1 model which did have limitations but likely they could of been worked around. But SE didn't want to spend the extra time to get the game to work. I have played FF7 remake on the ps4 and don't see any reason why it couldn't be developed, I think it was simply SE didn't have time to create a X1 version. But it seems that the series Xbox is much more popular with developers who seem to find it easier to work with, given the ever increasing number of titles getting series Xbox versions.

I personally don't know why they needed whole new avatars for the x1 when they could of just used the original x360 avatars. And the problem was that the avatars on the x1 and later consoles served no purpose and were never used for anything, at least to my knowledge.

The some of the best things about the X1 was when they dropped Kinect from the X1 bundle, playing Fable Legends the game got cancelled but it did look interesting. Finally adding backwards compatibility for x360 titles. Getting my hands on a X1X which was so much more powerful then the original VCR x1. Finally with getting a series S, I no longer needed my X1X. Do kind of miss having a physical disc drive but at nearly half the cost of a series X I can manage.

I think MS should mainly focus on games that they are the publisher. They are lots of MS titles for the x360 and original Xbox that are not backwards compatible.

Well it looks fun, to a degree but I don't really have the time or space for the game. I've tried online FF14 and I just don't want to spend the amount of time the game demands you to spend playing it.

The X1X is a very capable machine but is held back my the original X1. Between the Series S and the Xbox one X, the Series S wins every time with the only advantage that the X1X is that X1X has a 4k drive drive. And the X1X is ridiculously heavy for its size.

I think the SSD memory cards for the series Xbox are overpriced, even with the discount. If you have a memory card costing close to the price of the S and about half the price of the X it's almost better to just get a upgrade in the console itself rather then spend the money on a memory card. And much of the cost is due to MS using micro SSD cards designed for laptops rather then normal SSD used for desktop computers.

I believe that the various Final Fantasy games will be on sale starting on November 14.

I find games either have 4-5 options or 1000 options. Would be nice if there was something in the middle. With only a few options most are not good and with too many options you really don't want to spend forever just setting yourself up.

This is exactly how games should be delisted. Sega has announced about a month ahead of time that these games will be delisted to give people their final chance to buy the game before they are gone for good. Many other developers just suddenly delisted games without any warning and then you can't buy the game again permanently. More companies should follow Sega's example to announce the delisting ahead of time.

Loading times for all series enchanted games. Doom Eternal and Halo Master Chief Collection take a few minutes to load into a level but on the series S the loading time is 2-5 seconds.

The game I am working on finishing is Persona 3 Reloaded with game pass. Flintlock is another not bad game that was recently added to game pass. Just finished Like A Dragon The man ... last month.

I personally thought the Dishonoured series was overrated. I've repeatedly tried to play though the games and I get both bored and frustrated. And the problem with Redfall was the game was barely playable and the developers didn't seem to care and just thought someone else would fix it. Redfall was likely the final nail in the coffin, in my opinion. One of the developers actually said "I can't believe they shipped it out was it was", implying that they expected someone else to fix and polish the game.

It was a great idea but the marketing was terrible. I would love to play this today. I think they really should of stuck it out and it could of turned into a success. Fable Legends was interesting and intriguing but it was cancelled right before it was nearly finished.

The only games that I personally prefer for the Nintendo consoles is Nintendo first party games. I almost always prefer the Xbox consoles for action oriented games and with most JRPG games getting a Xbox release I really don't need to worry about the Playstation versions.

Just finished Like a Dragon the man who erased his name, now started playing Doom Eternal again. Nice that South Park Shattered is on game pass since I can play it on my series S. Just finished Hellsinger on the ps4 after previous finishing the x1 and series versions with game pass. The last trophy I need is the torments but It's glitched and I have to replay the torments until it unlocks.

I think MS paid too much money for little real value. MS should of made a deal to simply split of COD from the rest of Activision games and make a deal for the rest of the catalog and the mobile gaming excluding COD.

Just finished The man who erased his name, overall reasonably satisfying. The games that are scheduled to leave that get preferential to stay generally are either multiplayer games or smaller indie games that are widely popular. From the list the Vampire Survivor is likely to stay.

The game that I am currently playing is Like a Dragon the man who erased his name. I believe the game is scheduled to leave in November. As for Legend of Mana, I'll just play it on my Vita.

Hear is what happens when their is any merger

2 Promises to keep everything the same
3 Profits don't meet expectations
4 Layoffs
5 Reorganization

What difference? What I see is the ps5 graphics looking not the best though the video and the different they are showing between the ps5 and ps5 pro is marginally, I think the ps5 looks a bit better then the ps5 pro. And it seems that on the ps5 lots of games drop the resolution to 30fps for better performance and only achieve 60fps with a drop in graphics. And the improvements are only showing small clips from 4-6 games.

Almost all x360 games offer with Games with gold were not bad. Originally the X1 titles were good but unfortunately the quality of titles on the X1 dropped off. Example the X1 version of AC4 black flag was offered after the launch of the X1, later after the launch of the series Xbox you got games like Aground and Awesonots.

It seems the issue for the musician is the buy out of any future royalties which can be a huge amount of money. Lots of actors will take less money initially to get a bigger future royalties.

Hear is what I don't understand. Sony has Playstation app which allows you to purchase ps4 and ps5 straight from the app, so long as you have a ps4 or ps5 linked to your account but MS don't allow you to purchase games directly from any Xbox app. MS does allow you to stream games that you have installed on your primary console. Sony doesn't allow any like that but instead insists you buy a PS Portal to stream games from a ps5. I don't understand how Sony is able to sell Playstation games on the Iphone in their app without paying Apple a fee? But MS doesn't want to sell subscriptions on mobile devices, I get it, but why can you buy Xbox games on the Iphone?

As much as I like the games I don't want to pay more then $5 to upgrade from the X1 to Series. Besides want a year or two the upgrade will likely be below $5.

Given they are working on two transformers games my conclusion is that they are Transformers War for Cybertron and Transformers Fall of Cybertron. Given that both games likely have the same or very similar engines likely you will see a mired game like Doom 1 and 2. Just a guess though. And in all likelihood they will be for the Series Xbox.

Cocoon is set to leave Game Pass on October 1. Star Wars Dark Forces remastered is either getting a permanent price drop or joining game pass on Aug 29, not sure which.

I believe the problem is trying to get games running at 4K and HDR10 and at the same time running at 60 frames per second. Older games might be at 1080p or 720p and can easily do 60 frames per second because their is less they have to do and they likely copy anime/ cartoon animation to render the games. And seriously how many people can actually see a noticeable difference without using video software to check the frame rate?

I think the translation is SE is getting a reasonable amount of money to launch the game exclusively on Playstation. Each game has to launch exclusively on the Playstation else SE will loose a big chunk of money Sony has or will give them. But I do think that sticking with Playstation only for FF7 and FF16 is hurting their bottom line.

It's very rare to see Video Games that are actually worth the inflated prices they can sell for.

This is what frustrates be about digital games. I don't personally care about preserving games forever but I do find it frustrating that the digital games can be pulled at any time by the publishers. When a developer or publisher creates a new remastered version the older version almost always get removed from the digital store. And sometimes it is removed from one console but is available on another console when it basically the same version. Or even DLC that is available but a few years later it's removed and unless you bought it when it was available you can no longer purchase it, ever.
