Bugger. I played 2033 in June. At least it had FPS Boost to 120 Hz (as does Last Light)

@Shmoo Fable 1 (Anniversary Edition) already has FPS Boost

@Henchdog I had the same problem with Forza Horizon 3, but there is a solution. Insert the disc, but then download the game from the Xbox App

I cannot believe there is a gradual memory-leak on consoles. The same problem that plagued the PS3 version of Skyrim. Bethesda have such a laissez-faire attitude.

I recently finished this and highly recommend it. It's based on the old Slavic folktale of the witch Baba Yaga. An intriguing story, memorable level-design, and atmospheric music. The unusual setting means you never know quite what to expect.

@Gabrie I am sure there are other ways to promote a game without annoying Xbox-owners.

That laughable announcement "trailer" is closer to being a JPG than a video.

@Kaloudz US sales tax varies by state. That's why merchants display the pre-tax price, because it would be impractical to list all 50 of the post-tax prices.

@Kaloudz USD prices do not include tax. The GBP prices do. So $80 (pre-tax) is largely the same as £80 (post-tax).

"Last Chance"

I don't think PS5 sales would have been healthy either.

I noticed that Too Human is also free.

IGN give a largely scathing review, but a score of 7/10 because it's from a large developer. Like poetry.

All of my desires relate to the Wish List:

1) It should be visible on the Store home page. Currently I have to open the side panel, scroll down to Lists, then select it
2) Allow me to sort it by price or alphabetically, ascending or descending.
3) Any games with a discount need to be highlighted, or forced to the top of the list
4) The price for all games should be visible at a glance. I don't want to see "Included with Game Pass".

I wish some would stop trying to humanize corporations. "Family". Jesus wept.

Unbelievable to witness 720p / 30-45 Hz in 2024.

Another game that has the gestation-period of an elephant !

"We've made a start on the single-player action/adventure you expected us to release in 2019".

I liked the unusual setting and atmosphere, but the combat was clunky and the play areas were overly confined. I had hoped that Ninja Theory might address the issues, so was disappointed when I learned that the combat has been simplified even further with one-on-one encounters, and the play time is still short.

Gamers, we have heard you loud and clear. You want games, games, games. So we have closed 4 studios and released some new hardware.

COD, COD, Sportsball, COD, Sportsball, Sportsball. I hate Normies so much.

And I bet it still won't do 4K / 60Hz

LOL. The sales-numbers and concurrent-players are both woeful, so they had to advertise "player-engagement" to pretend the game is successful.

I only have one offer. 10,000 coins for Apex Legends at the mere cost of £74.79 !

Sony should respond with "You can OWN Yakuza 0 to 6 for less than £25"

Planet of Lana will be released on PS4/5 in Spring 2024

What constitutes a "player" in this statistic? Anybody who launched the game, even if it was only for 5 minutes and part of Gamepass?

@Kloppo The sale does not officially start until Friday so you may see more discounts then. Having said this, I am disappointed so far aswell. Octopath Traveler has only dipped to £25. It's a lesser-known game and is more than 2.5 years old.

The lower UK-price is odd. Have Capcom forgotten that the standard USA price tag of $70 does not include tax?

I thought Forza's washed-out appearance was due to the bug with HDR, but this video suggests it was an artistic choice.

Well he was hardly going to criticise Xbox

5+ years takes us to 2028...so ES6 will be a launch title for the next generation ?!

@S1ayeR74 B-but more ads makes more money, and money make shareholders do happy. You do want them to be happy don't you?

After that trailer, I am skeptical. Outer Worlds was average too

@Grumblevolcano If you are specifically referring to FPS Boost, I read somewhere that Microsoft did test it with many other games, but a serious bug was always encountered after reaching approx 80% completion. So it would have required a complete re-think.

If this is already XB1X Enhanced with 4K, and it is playable on SX, what is the purpose of "4K support for Xbox Series X|S" ?

@GuyinPA75 Wanting 60Hz to be the standard is not unreasonable. The PS2 had many games with this. Ever since then, developers have prioritised resolution, and console-gamers have been patiently waiting for 60Hz to come back to the fore. So it's little wonder that some are annoyed that 30Hz is still prevalent 17 years later.

And with the recent statement that AAA games now take 5 years, we cannot expect to play any on PS6/XB-XXX before 2033 !

@Zoidpilot4 Why the sarcastic, sneering response? God I hate the internet.

@Zoidpilot4 Digital Foundry are impartial. They just report what they observe, so I don't understand your frustration with them. They did once admit that they struggle to relax and enjoy games, even in their private lives, given their job is to analyse them with a fine-tooth comb.

Here is my gift to all journalists who overuse the adjective "super"

https://www.merriam-webster.com/thesaurus/super

@FatalBubbles Yes. That first Hellblade 2 teaser from 2019 was used to promote the forthcoming Series X, but all these years later and no gameplay was shown in the latest video.

@GuyinPA75 Movies at 24Hz are tolerable due to the limited number of quick-pan shots (if any). In many games, the player is constantly moving the camera, which is why a higher FPS is preferred. 30Hz is not too bad for an RPG, but I do hope Bethesda release a 40Hz option.

Yes Micro$oft, there is always a $olution

Might be 2024 or 2025 says the boss...so 2026 it is then.

@Kaloudz You insult your own kin, claim they are petty if they object, and root for a foreign company to defeat the ruling of a British organisation who were privy to more information than you.

Coming up. Still to come. Stay with us. Any day now. Just a little longer. Soon. Just wait.

@pip_muzz Most gamers criticise when it's deserved, irrespective of platform. Forspoken was lambasted.

They really are determined to keep multiple rows of tiles

@Echtzeit "Just tolerate the cluttered UI"

No.
