whatever happened to that War game that was like "too Realistic" and got canceled because it was based after a real war... The news headlines were about a year maybe a year and a half ago... I think it was based in Felugia or Afganistan or something. I remember the game play they showed had you clearing houses room to room and you never knew what would be behind each door or something.
Wow I cant believe they put out all 30+ episodes at the same time already. And these 30 episodes, aren't like 5 to 15 minutes, but I think every episode is over 30 minutes
Yeah Wally! Even a mumbling bear knows that the PS5 is weaker than the Series X and that the SSD doesn't make it some priceless piece of alien tech that game developers need to take into account when making games for it. LoL
@Banjo- I think you might wanna look into that statement again about Tencent and Google. You said that Activison talked to both of them about acquisiton before MS.... Yeah that never happened. If you can find a link though I would be very interested to see who and when that was reported.
Don't take that as a dig, just saying that you might have gotten some info crossed up or something. It was rumored that TenCent would try to swoop up Activision if this deal fell through, by a couple of sites but I never has it been publicly stated that talks with Tencent happened prior to Xbox striking a deal.
@WallyWest " Worth noting FF16 and the upcoming FF7R sequel are built around tech the Series consoles lack though i will admit that's most likely PR from Square."
Hahaha Ohhh Wallie Boy! I will never understand/never stop fully enjoying when PlayStation fans try to talk about the SSD in the PS5 as if it is some "incredible tech". It is still incredible how well the PR department did at Sony to sell fanboys on "The Power of the SSD" Haha. Wallie, you do understand that the SSD, The Solid State Drive, is only the memory. The SSD in the PS5, or in any computer actually, does not change the power of the CPU or GPU.
Furthermore, when marketing says that they "built a game around using the power of the SSD" in the PS5, all that means is load times. So instead of making the player squeeze between a crack in the cave, or shimmy through a sewer pipe, while the game is loading the next section in the background. The SSD can load up quick enough to not have to do that. Thats it.
The next FF games are going to be on PC within a year of release. And when they come to PC their will not be a requirement of a top of the line SSD, shoot there might not even be a requirement of an SSD in general. I don't think you need one to play FF7R. Just a hard drive with 80 gigs.
So can you be the first of the Pony Fan Boys to start spreading the word? The SSD in the PS5, it is not some special thing that Jesus hand delivered to PlayStation. It is just the memory... Also go spend a couple minutes on digital foundry (I am sure you are subbed to them already seeing as their whole channel is based off console war BS fact numbers) and you will humbly see for yourself that the holy PS5 SSD has not even made every game so far this generation load faster than the Series consoles (both the X and S).
Solid State Drives are new to consoles, not PC's. If you get nothing else from this long ass comment, try to remember that the SSD in the PS5 does not make the console stronger in anyway, or even run games in a way that can't be played on PC or Xbox Series consoles because of the SSD in the PS5
This has been what I have been looking forward to ever since Sony got itself fully in the middle of this deal.
Just like the Epic vs. Apple deal about a year and a half ago, we got some awesome dirt through that court case that the public would have never been privy to this day. That is how we found out that it was Sony all along blocking cross play between the different platforms. And if it was not for Epic and Fortnite, we still wouldn't have cross play available on consoles.
But Sony did not make it easy for Epic to implement the cross play feature... Noooo, if Sony was going to be a part of Cross Play, then Epic would have to pay a portion fee... Obviously. That is something I am still some what shocked is not brought up more often, and I am actually curious if Sony is still demanding a fee to be a part of cross play. LoL I wonder if Call Of Duty has to pay PlayStation to include the feature.
But once Jim Ryan started taking his Paid Time Off to visit countries in the UK, to talk to regulators specifically. I knew that this was the start of Sony sticking its nose into other people business a bit too far, and that MS lawyers would 100% make some more dirt/BS from Sony, made public during this court case.
I am sure we will hear just how much PlayStation is paying game publishers to keep their games off of Game Pass.
Which always had me wondering, if you are going to throw millions of dollars to keep games off of Game Pass... Why not just invest that money into actually putting some new games onto PS+.
Looking very much forward to the inevitable sauce we will be getting from this case!
You totally get why... Well I am confused. Why can't people recreate old maps? I read the article and don't see anything about that not being possible in the future. I am guessing it is something that came up in a different article?
Damn I have never seen any of these "Just for you" kinda deals before. This got me hooked up phatty on Far Cry and even the og SplinterCell games, I bought like 5 games just now haha
So people aren't running to pick t his up right now... but htat is because we are still a few months away.I remember the Forza Horizon special edition was $40 for the content if you were just playing the game through game pass and I think like $80 to buy the special edition and game.
The special edition content also let you play the game a week early... They got a million people to pay $40-$80 for Forza that week. I wont be surprised if they get a million to sign up for this during the prior week of the Red Fall launch.
@Would_you_kindly Actually Bethesda was not the largest ever acquisiton in the games industry.
Take 2 acquired Zynga, the mobile game company for $12.7 Billion... not too far from double the amount of the Bethesda deal.
Would You Kindly, You sure do have a low tolerance for news about Xbox or Phil Spencer for frequenting a website called "Pure Xbox". If you dislike Xbox so much, Why don't you just go to a PlsyStation focused site or something in the middle like VGC?
I see you complaining about Xbox almost daily in the comments here
I have n loved Hot Wheels, but always felt like the DLC was a little bit too pricey for what ya get... So I am soooo stoked they are including the GOTY edition. Woulda sucked if it didn't have the DLC haha.
But all N all, very happy that they have a proper line up of games being dropped on game pass, that are actually high quality.
N besides the no Forza release date, todays show was excellent and put out what they said they were going to... without too much filler bullsht. Twas a great format I am looking forward to Xbox continuing to do this going forward
@Would_you_kindly If you are expecting more than release dates and deep dives into the four games already mentioned, as well as a sizzle real of game pass games... then prepare to be let down. If that is what you are expecting though, you will be happy.
The only surprise I'm hoping for is the date of the Star Field show right at the end of the show. The comments wanting stuff from Avowed, and I even saw a comment wanting 2024 titles... you are just not listening to what they have told you to expect
I can't wait until Atomic Heart, I couldn't believe all of the hate it was getting in the comments here on the article showing some game play here recently. Y'all are tripping whoever was talking trash, it's gonna be one of the best XGP games this year imo
@Kaloudz In the next couple days Persona 4 and Persona 3 are being added, as well as Monster Hunter Rise day n date(all three day n date actually). I personally would much rather have few less games if they are going to be at a higher quality like these titles compared to the normal months content. I agree it does feel like it has been way too long compared to what we are used to getting from XGP. But once Persona is drops in a day or so, the Direct will be here before we know it, and I feel pretty confident that they will announce some ***** for the very end of the month/start of next month
@themightyant FYI it was included in there June 2022 "E3" show where every game shown will be out in the next 12 months, show.
Every single Nintendo show, big or small for the 2 years before that show every Nintendo YouTuber would claim that Hollow Night Silk Song would be in that show for sure. No one expected to first see it at a damn Xbox show that is for sure.
@ValentineMeikin @ValentineMeikin Brian Kotik...? LoL I want to read your long ass comment seriously, and assume you know what you are talking about. But when you start it off with Brian Kotik in the first sentence... C'mon man! LoL
It is Bobby Kotik.
Also... I just read a different comment you made and holy cow dude... You did not take it easy on the bong loads today did ya?!? You have successfully convinced yourself that if Xbox doesnt buy ABK that Sony will buy Activision and TenCent will buy BK... HAHAHA. Well I can ease your mind, you did not convince anyone else here that their is a chance in hell that ever ends up being the outcome of all of this. I am not going to explain more why that is an extremely obvious bad take and has zero chance of being an outcome. But go and watch some Hoeg Law videos on YouTube... You will learn something.
@ValentineMeikin That is a thought... But not one that will actually ever happen, so don't worry in the slightest that Sony will ever have a chance at pullin the rug out from underneath Xbox more than they have already. They do not have even close to enough money to buy ABK. And with a far greater market share in the industry, it just wont happen I promise you that.
Really, we need the CMA and the EU the pass the deal, then Xbox will be okay. If they don't, then this will have all been for nothing.
Also, let's say that this deal does not end up going through... Do you really think Activision is going to still be buddy buddy with PlayStation? All of ABK's executives are going to make a sh*t load of money once this deal goes through. If PS makes them miss out on that payday, Sony will be in the doghouse more than they already are with ABK. Even now, with the way they have spoken out against this deal so publicly and egregiously... I really cannot picture Sony ever even getting the CoD marketing rights again after this three-year contract is up.
all the people claiming it is over hyped... You need to play until you start evolving your weapons... The game truly does get to the point where you cant stop saying 1 more run!
This is a total hype bomb game. They have put out a few awesome looking trailers, but their are multiple youtube videos debugging this game n it really is not gonna be half of what it is claiming. I doubt it ever comes to xbox.
Probably because Slime Rancher 2 is on Game Pass since launch day... Just talking smack but for real I would rather have that then the old game on sale
@Titntin I am on the last boss now. And the level of difficulty in certain spot definitely raises the bar from the beginning of the game. I wouldnt saythe AI is above par, but I also wouldnt say it is anything less then the last assassins creed game or pretty much any game. Video game AI is dumbed down on purpose. They could easily have to proform like a well trained assassin, but being a computer and all, that just would not be fun. They actually program it to not pick up the loot that we are gong to grab, and stuff like that. But it also is definitely able to be programmed to be unstoppable against us. I have a feeling a big improvement in AI is going to be right around the corner, because visuals are getting to be less and less of a jump and they are working on AI for a lot of stuff now.
@Titntin "Its a colourful world I might wish to explore if the gunplay wasn't so poor." The gunplay was "so poor" in your opinion? Were you expecting Battle Field type mechanics? Because for the style of game, it does offer a nice variety of unique style/play style weapons once you get into the game a bit. Paired with the Jet Pack and power slide, The gunplay really is not the part I find to be lacking in my opinion. My biggest con for the game would definitely have to be enemy variety. I have taken out 5 of the Drug Lords and there are still the same yellow big eyeball head grunts constantly and for just how beautiful and unique the world/setting is in the game. It would have been nice to see maybe like 3 different factions to give it a bit more variety. Actually their was the ant enemies at the start of the game... They should have mixed them in more through out the game.
Gunplay though, not nearly as poor as you are making it out to be.
@FraserG Thanks got it, I was thinking I could New Zealand it to play right now this morning. I guess I will get to play this evening. Appreciate the info though!
@stvevan Really? I thought I read that the Series X was the top sold and the Series S after that...
Also spoken like a true Sony fan, Nintendo doesnt count to you stvevan?? LoL cause the only thing I can find is that The Switch won November.
Plus you can say "a discounted Series X/S" as some sort of knock. But if you asked ANYONE if PS would lose the sales numbers in November, The month that God of War Ragnarok's release. Also I just looked real quick n I am not seeing any real numbers at all saying the PS5 outsold anything... So unless you got a link, sounds like you doin nothing but huffin n puffin and blowin hot air.
Party Animals looks fun. But it looks so much like that other game pass game thats been out for over a year or so.... LoL drawing a blank suddenly. Hahaha anyways I was more excited the first time I saw it, I still will give it a go whenever it does come out.
@BBB You can say you have "different preferrences" and that you only prefer AAA games. But saying that Xbox is not putting in enough consideration for big budget games is kinda comical. Xbox has done nothing but invest in it's first party AAA studios since 2018 and significantlyy so in 2020 by buying Bethesda and presently buying Activision.... I don't see any other platform holders throwing close to $70 Billion down on AAA studios
@Dezzy70 So you are saying you would switch to PC? Because PlayStation only put out 3 games in a full year, and they were multiplats, with Santa Monica Studios confirming GoWR was a game modeled around getting the most out of the PS4... not the PS5. Game Pass may not have had first party games this year (besides grounded n Pentament) but PS only had 3 first party games... first party is like 1% of games every year. Game Pass brought a ton of quality games to it this year and continues to this month. Your whole ultimatum that Xbox better have 3 banger first party games that are in your opinion high quality, just sounds like you want a reason to complain instead of be grateful for all the games we have.
I have a PC, Steam Deck, and a Series X. They are all great IMO
@Would_you_kindly Yeah first thing I noticed, he was not ever with Bungie just 343. N even with Infinite falling on hard times, I still think this was 343's best Halo game. Hopefully someday they will have the content
I really do notlike the reviewers on this site. You guys reviewed Plague Tale Requiem really bad and now this. My favorite YouTube reviewers are all had good things to say about Evil West, and were high on Plague Tale.... N IMO Plagues Tale was amazing. I just got Evil West a little bit early in the mail from Game Fly so I will find out for myself today...So far the game has me hyped and looks great on the Series X

Re: Xbox Winter Demo Event 2022 Announced, Will Feature 20+ Games
@BBB
You can say you have "different preferrences" and that you only prefer AAA games. But saying that Xbox is not putting in enough consideration for big budget games is kinda comical. Xbox has done nothing but invest in it's first party AAA studios since 2018 and significantlyy so in 2020 by buying Bethesda and presently buying Activision.... I don't see any other platform holders throwing close to $70 Billion down on AAA studios
Re: Halo's Multiplayer Creative Director Leaves 343 After More Than 11 Years
@Dezzy70
So you are saying you would switch to PC? Because PlayStation only put out 3 games in a full year, and they were multiplats, with Santa Monica Studios confirming GoWR was a game modeled around getting the most out of the PS4... not the PS5. Game Pass may not have had first party games this year (besides grounded n Pentament) but PS only had 3 first party games... first party is like 1% of games every year. Game Pass brought a ton of quality games to it this year and continues to this month.
Your whole ultimatum that Xbox better have 3 banger first party games that are in your opinion high quality, just sounds like you want a reason to complain instead of be grateful for all the games we have.
I have a PC, Steam Deck, and a Series X. They are all great IMO

@Would_you_kindly
Yeah first thing I noticed, he was not ever with Bungie just 343. N even with Infinite falling on hard times, I still think this was 343's best Halo game. Hopefully someday they will have the content

Re: Review: Evil West - Action-Packed Wild West Horror Let Down By Dull Design And Weak Narrative
I really do notlike the reviewers on this site. You guys reviewed Plague Tale Requiem really bad and now this. My favorite YouTube reviewers are all had good things to say about Evil West, and were high on Plague Tale.... N IMO Plagues Tale was amazing. I just got Evil West a little bit early in the mail from Game Fly so I will find out for myself today...So far the game has me hyped and looks great on the Series X
