I’ll probably get it for PS5 Pro. My Series X has collected dust the last year after it and One X being my primary consoles since 2017.

Hope they include DLC, Ballad of Gay Tony was best part of the whole game.

@Banjo- so can you?

After playing 5 hours I agree with a lot in this review. I do think a 6 is low though, I would have given it a 7 had this not been an Indiana Jones game but would give it an 8 because they nail the feel of an Indiana Jones movie that much.

First 22 years of my gaming life this would have been a hard no, couldn’t afford it or the premium TV needed to take advantage of the improvements.

Today it was a day one buy and I’ll give my buddy’s kid my old PS5. In the past few months I’ve moved my third party game buys from Xbox to PS, after almost a decade of buying them in Xbox.

I do wonder if this will be profitable enough for Sony, is there enough demand and will there be enough like me making this change.

Massive pent up demand, I can’t believe it took them so long after NIL deals were approved.

I feel like Kasidy Yates smuggling for the Maquis

Played through enough of game to go exploring, so far having fun. I suggest going to Europa just to see the view when you land, it’s gorgeous.

Their YouTube video on the “upgrades” to RTTS mode got laughed out of the comment sections yesterday, they added face scan, a new drafted by intro and menu adjustments. Their namesake mode has been left to die on the vine the last several years.

My friends and I rocked this 98 to 04, got together tonight to play it again and it was like a time warp. This was the ultimate couch co-op game for us and is still a blast playing with 3 friends today.

Old rules still applied, if you picked oddjob the other 3 get to gang up and 4th place does a shot. The same friend that lost all the time all those years ago still lost tonight, it was great.

Achievements weren’t working for me at the start but are now.

They had been counting all along.

If you’re a fan of the game straight out of 1997 you’re in for a treat.

If you’re expecting anything more you’ll be disappointed.

I’m loving it.

No campaign, no thanks

I’ll be getting it on both. This is a game I’ll actually be able to dominate in online multiplayer. Been a while for that. My buddies and I though are gonna get together a weekend and play the crap outta this on series X.

Couple college buddies came over for first time in ages and we played a lot of games, but the one played most was Perfect Dark on Series X and had a blast. Already planning a weekend get together when this drops.

I have both, S is a great travel console and for my bedroom TV. X is great on my LG CX.

Is this the Austin Powers joke?

Does Matchpoint Tennis come anywhere near the old Top Spin? I’ll have to try it.

This one is pretty noisy for my taste with the design, I think one with the Trans Pride color scheme would look pretty awesome, it’s the blue/pink/white ribbon going over the right thumbstick on this controller.

From a single game perspective sure it makes sense to wait for a good product. From a total Xbox perspective they have bought soooo many studios, they should be making it rain with AAA and other content.

@Rural-Bandit I’m aware of most of that, I have gamepass. I disagree though a lot of people buy both physical and digital copies of the game.

As a consumer I’m fine with it, gamepass covers so much for me already on Series X and I only buy exclusives for PS5.

As long as Sony keeps putting out great exclusives from a business perspective they should be fine not offering them day 1 with a subscription. Microsoft should also be fine going the other way. I see both being able to be successful with different strategy’s.

Like you mentioned stock situation has so much to do with it, hard to gauge until people can walk into a store (virtual or physical) and see both on the shelf.

Midcycle refresh, the Series X One

Gran Turismo 7 is really fun to play, if Forza Motorsport 8 can just match it Xbox fans are in for a treat.

Had a 1TB since launch and just bought a 2TB. Now both my Series X have one.

Also just installed a 2TB internal expansion for my PS5.

Forza Motorsport 7 looked amazing when it came out on One X and holds up incredibly well almost 5 years later on Series X. GT7 looks great on PS5 and I would give it a slight edge after playing it this morning.

My travel console this generation, fits great in my carry on.

@TJ81

There is interest because the campaign is incredibly fun and completely compliments the movie. It’s rare a video game based on a movie is this good, but the devs took their time and released it in 97, two years after Goldeneye hit the big screen.

Multi-player and all it’s options was the perfect couch multi-coop. Slappers, remote mines, proximity mines, license to kill, all very fun options or modes. It still holds up in this regard.

Frame rate drops really hit it on N64, but you kinda dealt with it because the gameplay was so fun. My main reasons for being excited is stable frame rates and being able to play it on a comfortable controller. Not the N64.

It was an amazing experience back in 1998 and we would play all nighters in college with the loser doing a shot. The same roommate would usually lose the first three matches and it all went to heck from there. Can’t wait to play this on modern hardware and my same group of friends will be getting back together for an old school night.

Anyone else feel like this will lead to Moriarty situation and Cortana is going to take over all their home smart devices?

Strongly on the fence on this one, Series S is my travel console and a majority of the time the hotels I stay at have TV’s with HDMI I can plug right into.

The rare times they don’t is when this would be awesome to have.

Good to see you 1998; how I missed you.

Think I’m gonna hold off and buy next generations GTA5 upgrade.

I just toss my S in between clothes in a suitcase and it’s been golden. Used PS4 for travel last gen like that and it survived all those years.

Microsoft is really positioning themselves nicely for this battle, amazed how far they have come since 2013.

Phils Xbox comeback from 2013 will be a business school case study in the years ahead, Satya should get a lot of credit as well. Really excited to see what gets brought out of mothballs in Activisions archive.

@HungryHungryHomer

Of course it applies, it doesn’t matter how you get them. I’ve seen that argument with PS comments that somehow homegrowing is more honorable than buying when the money is still green.

But, no games.

Wow that argument seems in a galaxy far, far away.

This is awesome, sooo many good memories of this game in 98.

Gonna wait for next gens GTAV upgrade.

I just laugh people actually spend money on this stuff. Don’t fault 343/Microsoft for making money off something I have zero interest in.

@JetmanUK

I still rock Peggle 2 on occasion, super addicting and fun game.

To be fair I would love a good Austin Powers game.

I bought PS4 at launch and delayed Xbone until July of 14. The thing that really moved me to Xbone was expansion storage was available much sooner than PS4.

Amazing to see where Xbone started vs ending up with One X. Felt almost like two generations in one.

Just played the first level, like a time warp back to when HALO was great, looking forward to the rest.

I think the most important thing is Phil and co have fixed their game pipeline, the future is bright. Feels like this thing is finally back on the rails with the upward trajectory of the 360 days. Xbone launch fiasco and dearth of games officially in the rearview.

Great news for gamers. When one platform does something awesome others will need to catch up. Sony raised the game with PS4 and I’m glad Microsoft is now doing the same.

@PhhhCough @PhhhCough

Honestly still, get over it. Asking for them to be reduced or go away will probably have the opposite effect. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t do this or encourage it at all and it annoys the heck out of me when I get them.
