@JetmanUK You are a funny one...

This is useful thanks. I wish Microsoft would add their PCVR titles to Game Pass (Hellblade VR, Skyrim VR, Fallout 4 VR i.e.)

To be fair though, has Todd Howard every really missed on his projects? Even Fallout 76 (which he wasn't as involved in), managed to salvage itself over time. And this game is his baby, that he's been working on for a very, very long time. I think he will deliver on it.

I played the crap out of the original Trackmania on PC. The community came up with some awesome content.

@Kaloudz Yeah, most likely. I just can't justify the price points of these handhelds. Maybe when the tech gets better/cheaper.

A review without a score?

Lol heck no! It's a total ripoff! How on earth could you have it cost more than Game Pass? Yves is proving to be incredibly inept at his job, Ubi just keeps taking Ls.

@themightyant However, you are comparing a massive 3D open world game to a 2D game. It's just amazing how often games are delayed, and delayed, and delayed, and delayed these days. Devs need to do a better job of knowing where they are at and quit making empty promises. They enjoyed using "COVID delay" as an excuse, but that doesn't fly anymore. I guess I'm just tired of that state of games in general right now. I'd rather not know about a game until it will be released within a year.

@themightyant You can't deny though that the number of delays it has had is very unique however. You sound like their PR rep (or a burner account for them) the way you are responding to people about it and that you know all the devs names.

Sheesh, I can't say I've ever seen a 2D game stuck in development hell for this long. This is ridiculous. I mean I loved the first game, and I'll play this if it ever comes out. But good grief lol!

@Markatron84 agreed. They kind of painted themselves into a corner by announcing early to try to run with Sony.

Would hope so. Was only announced 4 years ago!

First time making videogames?

Prey is criminally underrated.

@Titntin Enjoy your adventures away.

@S1ayeR74
S1ayeR74 9:06am ...60 to 70% global market owned by Microsoft, and they wanted to buy ActiBlizz.

@S1ayeR74 You are confusing your global market with your cloud market. Fail

S1ayeR74 11:47am
@Trmn8r Well you fail as the CMA stated 'global market' in its report. And I seriously doubt you work for the CMA.

@S1ayeR74 The CMA said 70% of CLOUD MARKET SHARE

I've literally said CLOUD the entire time. You are the one saying just GLOBAL MARKET. There is a BIG difference between cloud market and overall gaming market. If you meant cloud when you misspoke, you had like 4 chances to clarify. But you didn't because you thought it was overall market then or are just too proud to admit a clear mistake. Now you are gaslighting after proving yourself wrong. Yes, I am referring to "Global Cloud Market" when I say "Cloud Market", as if that clarification is needed. But saying Global Market =/= Global Cloud Market, especially when you argue against me calling it Cloud Market without ever saying Global Cloud Market yourself. I can't English it any harder than that.

@S1ayeR74 FFS dude, it literally says "global CLOUD gaming" in your quote you shared. Bravo! Bravo! Thank you for proving me right and yourself wrong.

@S1ayeR74 The CMA said 70% of CLOUD MARKET SHARE. How can you seriously think that Xbox has 70% of the general market share? You can't honestly tell me that Xbox is winning the console war with 70% of market share. Please, tell me you believe that honestly. "I believe that Xbox is winning the console war right now with 70% of the gaming market." Please say it so I can laugh at it.

@Kevw2006 Well, if those people do exist, they probably shouldn't be trusted to handle a game console, much less, plug it into a power outlet properly.

@S1ayeR74 Lol you think Xbox owns 70% of the global gaming market? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA I guess Xbox is totally dominating the console war. That's news to me ROFL!!!!

@S1ayeR74 You are confusing your global market with your cloud market. Fail
@Moonglow You can't reason with these disingenuous people who just make things up.

He's not lying

@PsBoxSwitchOwner I think most readers are intelligent enough to know that. Like 0.0% of people who read this will think it's only on Game Pass and not available retail.

This trailer actually get's me excited for this again.

Cassette Beasts and where to find them

Pod Racer! Nice to see a licensed game for once, and a great one at that.

@Kevw2006 Except what you say hasn't been the case with the devs Microsoft has bought. They are almost all churning out new IPs, including Bethesda. Sony all but owns Square at this point.

@StrawberryWave You called out my intentional example of a false equivalency to prove a false equivalency. Take some time to think about that while you're playing Kena.

@ShadowofTwilight30 So threatened by the 3rd place console are we? Companies are allowed to sell to whatever country they want. If a country blocks their ability to attempt a closer competition parity, they have every right to respond accordingly. They won't, too much money to be had. But they'd be totally justified if they did. But no worry that Sony dominates the market, just that Xbox might get closer to poor Sony.

@StrawberryWave That was literally my point! You literally just proved my point! Bravo Sony guy!

@Sam_TSM Workers are affected by this not going through too. You unaware of all the problems Activision has had with their employees lately? We were talking about the hypothetical of if UK wants to block Xbox's ability to compete, Microsoft isn't required to sell to UK. Fair is fair.

@Neverwild Sony should be free to buy Activision too if they want.

@StrawberryWave Lol, how much money is in the cloud market vs the general gaming market. Great false equivalency. Xbox and Nintendo chooses to not participate in the VR market, guess we better reverse Sony's purchase of Insomniac then...

@Kevw2006 Sony should be free to try to buy Activision too if they wanted to.

@themightyant But you are literally proving my point then. Sony is willfully, not joining it. So, how is that a valid argument against Xbox?

These actually look decent for once.

@ShadowofTwilight30 spoken like someone who can't counter the facts.

@S1ayeR74 Phil isn't an attorney. If anything, Microsoft cans their attorneys for failing to land the deal in court.
And those 10 year deals mean nothing if Microsoft doesn't own CoD. What are you talking about HQ being worried about those deals?

@Neverwild Lol punish Sony!? Poor, poor market leading Sony... As if Sony isn't capable of making their own military shooter over a 10 year period.

@themightyant And Sony, (whom has cloud tech, but willfully) refuses to join the cloud market, and also has the general gaming market share of top developers isn't capable of making a competitor for CoD in 10 years? It's just such a weak argument.

@Sam_TSM Well, if they punish first, it's all fair play at that point...

@StrawberryWave All services that relatively nobody uses. So, because Xbox has cloud streaming they aren't allowed to buy companies anymore? What a ridiculous argument.

@Kevw2006 If only other companies with a larger share of the market and DEVELOPERS could come up with a CoD competitor in 10 years when cloud streaming a twitch shooter "might" be feasible.

@S1ayeR74 This case is about Xbox though, not Microsoft as a whole. And Sony dominates the market.

@Sam_TSM Nah UK deserves it if they can the deal over such an absurd nothingburger as cloud streaming Call of Duty. CMA is flat out telling Microsoft to play more dirty like Sony. You get what you ask for.

@StrawberryWave It's because Sony and Nintendo literally don't offer any real cloud service! They willfully refuse to offer it. Such a mountain out of a molehill argument. Most people don't even use it, and who on earth is going to play CoD multiplayer over the cloud?! Such a false equivalency.

@S1ayeR74 Your argument shows how dumb this ruling is if this kills Xbox in your mind. But "poor Sony" according to these morons at the CMA.

Sony always gets what it wants. They get this delayed in courts for years through stupid arguments that morons, who know nothing of how videogame markets work buy into. Meanwhile, Microsoft has their money tied up and Sony can continue to dominate the market. It's the Sony way to play dirty, always has been...

@themightyant
Literally a mountain vs molehill comparison to equate general market share with cloud market share. How many people are going to stream CoD multiplayer over the cloud? That's just absurd!
Who are Microsoft going to concede to when Sony won't implement cloud? They can't make concessions to something that doesn't exist. Sony doesn't want to really use cloud and neither does Nintendo. Horrible basis for the ruling when the 2 main competitors willfully reject cloud offerings.

Nobody is streaming CoD over the cloud! Most people barely use it altogether. But punish Xbox because the majority shareholder (Sony) is completely capable and has a cloud offering, but chooses not to implement it more into their system? What an insane ruling.
