So this AMD FidelityFX is not coming to Xbox in the form of a firmware update? It's something that game developers implement there side of things during the development of the game?
It depends on whether the FF7 exclusivity is on the standard version or Intergrade too? Intergrade no because it's exclusive for another 6 months, maybe the standard version could?
@LocalPenguin Well Microsoft are really trying as far as bringing as many Japanese games to Xbox as they can. The more they bring the more appealing it will be there. This is good news though.
@lokozar Maybe it's because Sony feel they don't need to do anything outside of the exclusives, there just banking on that the most. I agree it's risky though. I know what you mean though, Microsoft are more future proof if you will. They seem to know more about there future than what Sony do. Microsoft are trying to be great in every avenue possible, to be the all-rounder.
@lokozar I understand what you mean but it's "exclusives" that sets the consoles apart. If exclusives don't matter then there isn't as much of a reason to have one console over another. This is why PlayStation is known for this, for having the best exclusives out there. It's what's brought them the success they've always had and they've dominated singlehandedly alone on the exclusives.
@electrolite77 Because you buy the Series X to be able to play Series X exclusives, only when that cloud technology comes to Xbox One then you'll be able to play Series X games on it thus making the purchase of the Series X not worth it. You could of just kept your Xbox One and played them on that instead.
@endlessleep I just mean that if your going to be able to play Series X games on your Xbox One via streaming, then it's taking that reason away to buy a Series X. I have been trying to get one but do I need one as much now? No, because I'm going to be able to play some of the Series X games on it via streaming.
@The_New_Butler I understand what you mean but let's put it this way, did you buy a Series X for this? (If you have one). I'd imagine people who bought one would be fuming with this.
I think this show was better than the past few years but still not mind blowing. There wasn't any shocks or surprises. The main takeaway is that Game Pass is absolutely the best value in gaming today period, most of the games are coming to it they showed. I'd give the event 6/10.
Don't get me wrong I give Phil Spencer credit and respect for him praising the opposing platform but it also frustrates me at the same time. Instead of Microsoft acknowledging and observing these great games that Sony make, why does the thought never occur to them about making games themselves on the same level as Sony?
You would think that they would see these games and think, "hmm, why don't we do this, why don't we makes games to the calibur of this and need games like this, they never seem to have this thought process for some reason? It's made worse with the fact they obviously know about these games, it's not like there in the dark and are unaware of these games.

Has this rolled out to the Game Pass app for android

@mousieone Yeah the Game Pass app is on Android smartphones. I'm not sure whether it's been upgraded yet though to the Series X blades yet.

Only problem with this is that it's taking reasons away for even buying the Xbox Series X.

@gingataisen And you need to learn what sarcasm is.
Re: PlayStation Team Congratulates Xbox On 'Great' E3 2021 Showcase
@Senua I get what you mean but I don't want Sony congratulate Microsoft. I want Sony to crush them onto the ground, we are the kings!
Re: PlayStation Team Congratulates Xbox On 'Great' E3 2021 Showcase
@UltimateOtaku91 Yeah, it's just waiting now on when Sony will reveal when there event is going to be.
Re: PlayStation Team Congratulates Xbox On 'Great' E3 2021 Showcase
What's up with Sony congratulating Microsoft? It's usually the other way around.
Re: Rune Factory 4 Special Marks The Series' First Arrival On Xbox Later This Year

Re: Oh My, The Cult Classic Doki Doki Literature Club Is Coming To Xbox
I couldn't believe it when I saw this. Never played it and can't wait.
I'm more shocked that it's coming to Xbox.

Been waiting for The Evil Within 2.
Re: Xbox Cloud Gaming Will Be Integrated Into Consoles Later This Year
So this is basically like PS Now where you can stream the games and not just download them.
Re: Xbox Announces Cloud Gaming Streaming Sticks, TV Integration
@mousieone I mean I don't want the actual console to go away.
Re: Microsoft Is Already Working On New Xbox Consoles, But Don't Expect To See Them Soon
There referring to the next generation of Xbox console right? Not a mid console refresh like Xbox One X or PS4 Pro.
Re: Xbox Announces Cloud Gaming Streaming Sticks, TV Integration
I don't like this, I'm scared they will make consoles go away.
Re: Xbox Boss Congratulates Sony's Insomniac Games On Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart
@Fenbops Yeah and even the only real exclusive on Series X, The Medium is coming to PS5 too. So Xbox has no exclusive at the moment.

@The_New_Butler Is it good really? I'm on the fence whether to take up this offer or not? Originally I wanted the Series X.
Re: These 15 Games Are Coming To Xbox Game Pass (May 18-27)
@UltimateOtaku91 I agree, probably the worse month for Game Pass up to yet. The only one I'm interested in is Maneater.
