@datamonkey Xbox might sell everything it creates on pS but with a 1 year delay and no Game Pass. Hardly much different from PC, yeah a pS5 is a more direct competitor on the price range but it wouldn't be Day 1.
@cragis0001 Exactly, I am all for more games for more people.
But for f*ck's sake Xbox bring some good news to people who are already your customers. Yeah great Nintendo will get Xbox games, but have you used any leverage whatsoever to bring Nintendo games to Xbox?
@ScoTTieDLighT KC Deliverance... man, you either love or hate it. That's a game that absolutely despises the idea players might have limited free time.
It's a 30 FPS, low FOV experience where saves are limited, Quick Resume does not work, and certain key mechanics (notably, lockpicking) just don't work well with a controller, being thought of with just PC in mind.
It is dirty cheap so buy it, play for at maximum 2 hours (enough time to get the gist of how fun it will be to you) then refund if you dislike it. I hope you don't, there is a lot of love in KCD... just wanted it to be a bit less uber-hardcore.
Oblivion being a big game or not doesn't matter, could be the Chicken Little game or Toy Story 3 for all I care. Oblivion sold on pS3 as well, yet Sony chose to ignore it. Xbox didn't.
You are being dishonest. I told you Microsoft hasn't delisted "for years," you quote me to tell me I am "wrong", then proceed to mention Halo games delisted more than 5-9 years ago?! What the hell mate.
No it's not "discontinued", backward compatibility still works. lmao
No it doesn't need to grow exponentially, program is down and that's alright. We already got hundreds upon hundreds of games preserved on consoles which is miles better than Sony/Nintendo did. So going back to my point... no mate, Xbox isn't "as bad as any" when it comes to game preservation. That was a bizarre take of yours.
Also, Dev Mode gives Xbox better backward compatibility with older Sony and Nintendo consoles than pS5 or Switch!
Microsoft didn't do it perfectly but did miles better than its competition, and it's a huge plus of the Xbox ecosystem. Now please stop spamming my inbox, gonna click this Ignore button to see if it works.
@shoeses Sorry mate but if we are talking about game preservation, bringing up finite physical copies or consoles that are out of production is pure nonsense.
Oblivion is a beautiful example. It's playable on the Xbox 360, on the Xbox One, on the Xbox Series X/S, and on mobile through Cloud Gaming. I don't need to spend 50 bucks on OLX or buy a dinosaur ecosystem to play it, it just works on the current-gen console I own right now.
Microsoft hasn't delisted anything for many years, except Forza due to licenses expiring. The Oblivion Remaster was also supposed to launch in 2022, and is from before the acquisition. lol
Backward compatibility is not just "cool", it is freaking amazing and a massive characteristic that the Xbox ecosystem has that both Sony and Nintendo fiercely resist against. Real damn glad Xbox preserved so many great games I owned back in the 2000s.
@shoeses "As bad as any"?! You are dead wrong. Xbox wasn't the best choice (that's PC), but it was a vastly superior choice compared to the Sony or Nintendo options.
In 2022 I finished a Oblivion playthrough on my XBSS that I had started in 2007. No other console ever allowed me that, thank ***** for free cloud saves.
@Widey85 It would 100% be either the Series S SKU in handheld form (Asus Ally is already roughly similar in power) with less storage OR a next-gen SKU.
@shoeses No way I would buy a pS5 given Sony's horrendous track record with game preservation. 100% buying a Steam Deck if the upcoming "business update" fails to convince me to keep investing into Xbox.

Re: Ubisoft Adds Lengthy Free Trial For Skull & Bones On Xbox Series X|S
Should have been F2P. Game is actually fun but will fail hard, it's not worth 70€.

Re: Poll: When Do You Think Xbox Will Release Its Next-Generation Console?
@Banjo- 2027/2028 is the correct window. Crazy to see 2026 with 33% of votes when there will be a mid-gen refresh in 2025.

@PopularCorpse 800p like in the Steam Deck would be enough. IMO.
