@Cakefish I noticed it in the Ultimate Edition during cutscenes. It was in my OLED too. I guess VRR was ‘added’ automatically by all the systems that the Series auto adds (fps boost, hdr etc)
@OldGamer999 the value of GPU is insane. And on top of that, I don’t have to pay for the game and then pay extra to go online. I see it like this… the releases to other platforms where GPU is not a thing, is extra money for the MS Studios. It’s good business.
This comment section is entertaining and quite sad at the same time. Not many actually talking about how they are excited to play it. I’m so happy to see that MP is there as there was a rumour going around it would be stripped from a remaster.
@Kaloudz I was heavily playing it when it came out. Could not stop playing it. Only took 28hrs and you are sort of close buy I don’t want to spoil anything
This has been available for months with Better XCloud and it works really well. I think the remote play you found in the Xbox App was already browser based, just wrapped in a shell.
I’ve played a few days on it and unlocked a few things but I do not see the point of the game. I cannot understand how you progress. 90% of the time all the rooms dealt are the same and give nothing in return
The reviewers who reviewed this must be die hard puzzle fans as there is no way this is a game of the year contender.
@KayUK this happened to me last year. I ended up getting a full refund but my Ubisoft+ was still active. So I had Ubisoft help desk re link that Ubisoft account to my secondary Xbox account (as my Primary was fully broken for some reason). Now I have been enjoying Ubisoft+ for free since August of last year. It expires this June, enough time to finish Shadows
I have just recently picked up a 360 because my son was interested in it. Best part is that I managed to get a Kinect for £1, then a bunch of games for <£10
I wonder if Fable will slot into the position Indy was in last year. If so, I can see it making the cut and an excellent game for me to lose many hours into over the holidays
The 4th one will be the Oblivion remake. Looking at home the titles are lining up for 2025, I feel MS are trying to get a big title out each month with CoD and Fable being this year's big titles at the end.
Just remembered, we could see Double Fine's next title

Re: Here Are All The Changes & Enhancements Coming To Gears Of War: Reloaded On Xbox
@Cakefish this is true but there is a nasty bug that flickers the screen due to the vrr. It’s so annoying and I hope they fix it
PS5 vrr is software level (even on Pro).
Series is hardware level.
Re: Xbox Adds Multiple New Sales, Including One Focused Around RPGs
@Kaloudz just seen. Now to look into the sale for games that I do not need yet, but will probably buy anyway
Re: Xbox Adds Multiple New Sales, Including One Focused Around RPGs
Is today the usual day for the first wave of Game Pass additions? If so, best hold off the sale until later this afternoon 😂

Re: Xbox Announces Gears Of War: Reloaded, Releasing Summer 2025
@Fiendish-Beaver as long as they fix the annoying flicker that appears due to VRR, I will be very happy! 😅

@Dalamar73 It is! Not tried it yet and only cost £1.50!
Re: Random: 20 Years Later, The Xbox 360 Is Still Finding New Fans In 2025
@Dalamar73 😂 I managed to pick a bunch of Kinect games for <£10. They are so cheap!
Re: Random: 20 Years Later, The Xbox 360 Is Still Finding New Fans In 2025
I picked one up last month for £40. Was the Slim 250gb with 2 controllers and 10 games. My son loves it!
Also got a Kinect for £1 lol

Re: Xbox Discounts Tons Of AAA Games In This Week's 'Best Rated' & 'Open World' Sales
@Ricky-Spanish I plan on doing this as soon as I have finished up Avowed
Re: Xbox Discounts Tons Of AAA Games In This Week's 'Best Rated' & 'Open World' Sales
@VoidPunk It was added to PS Plus today
Re: Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3+4 Has Been Rated, And It's Coming To Xbox & Other Major Platforms
I think we will get 1+2 shadow dropped next week in the announcement. A case of ‘while you wait, play the first two’
Re: Xbox Has Officially Delayed Fable Into 2026
I wonder if the results of delaying Avowed has played into this? Extra time for extra polish.
Re: One Of 2024's Best Games Is Heading To Xbox Game Pass Today

Re: Poll: What Kind Of Review Scores Are You Predicting For Avowed?
No mater what the reviews say, the beauty is that it is on Game Pass and you can easily make up your own mind.
Re: Avowed's Full Performance Mode Options Detailed For Xbox Series X
The Ubisoft games that use 40fps mode are a real treat for the eyes
