Well if that's including what was Gold, then that's a bit rubbish and suggests little growth for Gamepass at all

In terms of pure numbers it will no doubt be the biggest technical leap but the reality is that all the big leaps in gaming happened a long time ago and will never be matched.

My PC isn't far off being 4x the power of a Series X and I wouldn't say its a huge leap over the console, I just get better framerates and good ray tracing. Not to mention the more powerful these get, the longer it seemingly takes to make games for them

If they stripped away their nonsense RPG mechanics and just focused on having some well designed stages, this could be a fun game, as is its a pass

Indiana Jones and then Avowed, I might give Flight Simulator a go as well

Wow that Radio Times review is one of the worst I've ever seen. Who knew that a game from the 90's might not play like a game made 20 years later.

I'm going to be jumping back into these with tank controls and enjoying not having map markers or yellow paint to hold my hands around the levels

I've not played it as it doesn'treally appeal to me, though I have followed its progress out of curiosity. On PC it seems to be basically dead, with Arkham Knight having close to double its players as I write this.

It just seems that fans of the studio and DC aren't excited by this game

The best part about all of this has been watching the fanboys having a meltdown on Twitter.

For me personally, it's more of a curiosity than anything else. I play Xbox games on PC these days anyway through Steam and don't see that changing anytime soon

A bargain for what was arguably the best game I played last year

@rustyduck for doing what? My PC barely uses more than my PS5 and might have double the power draw when pushed

YouTube is the only app I use on console as my TV app is a bit slow, for Amazon I just use my TV and I don't watch any of the others

They can put as many A's on it as they like, I'm still not paying that for the sailing bit from Black Flag

I'll stick to Sea of Thieves

I've no need for it being on a 4070ti but it's good to see it finally being supported for those that can get use out of it. One of the most frustrating things about PC gaming at the moment, is all of these technologies not always being fully implemented

Nope, I played a bit at launch and was hugely disappointed. Its PC performance is largely terrible and it's single player is structured rather poorly and is just plain dull to be honest

I tried it again recently and it was beyond comical how the Daytona track has its pitlane exit completely blocked, instead spitting you out into the braking zone of turn 1. It has improved overall but some big issues remain such as the lack of a radar for close racing.

Overall I've just found it pretty disappointing and it doesn't give me a reason to play over GT7 or ACC

There's very few EA games I'm interested in playing and on PC I can't be bothered with their rubbish app, so don't bother with them through Gamepass

@Romans12 what a childish response, I've been on here longer than you "kid" and will stay on this website should I wish. I play games on all platforms but at least I know to ignore your nonsense from now on, so thanks for that at least

@BacklogBrad thing is we really aren't that far into this generation as most of it so far has been cross gen. Its only the last 6 months or so that have seen either side leave last gen behind and even then, many 3rd party games haven't yet. At this point sales should be going up, so for this to be happening is very bad news

@themightyant yeah its a bit silly trying to blame a weaker than expected console market when the PS5 and Switch are both hugely successful and sadly Xbox just aren't at the races for several reasons

@Romans12 nope, Playstation sales are up year on year

It's with little details like this that tell you the remaster is in safe hands

@Lightning720 yes and no, those numbers are misleading in one respect as it includes games only available digitally anyway. Sure digital is increasing but Nintendo games still sell better physically and even new Sony releases still sell more physically at launch and it's always better to have options whilst we still can

And apparently shutting down departments responsible for physical games. Xbox is hurtling to digital only

It's nice to see an Xbox site recognising its success on Steam. All I've seen all day online is its success being attributed to Gamepass despite its player base being 78% on Steam at one point.

Regardless of how you play though, this looks a lot of fun and I'm going to try it out when I get home

I'd love a new Quake game and this would also explain the recent and rather brilliant Quake remasters

It did give us some key information about player split, as they've tweeted they have server issues as concurrent players have topped 700,000 and at the time 550,000 were on Steam, so between Epic, Xbox PC and consoles that's 150,000 is players

I love the fact that it's first person, I've got more than enough 3rd person adventure games and this looks great so far

This game is a joke, the new track has the pit lane exit blocked 😂

Oh and it now crashes even more

Frankly it's a disgrace, regardless of anyone's opinions on physical vs digital, this is a game from the platform holder who sell a console with a disc drive. Those customers should be supported by them and we've already had HiFi Rush recently skip on a physical copy and now this

I'm delighted it's first person, it's not like there hasn't been a lot of 3rd person Tomb Raider and Uncharted games, so at the very least this should feel fresh instead of being yet another 3rd person adventure game

A very strong A, it was well presented and I like the focus on just a few good looking games than an endless stream of filler content. Indiana Jones was the highlight but in all honesty, I can see myself playing all of those games

These days it's pretty great but it did take a long time to fix the look of some of the games, I think Halo 2 was only sorted a couple of years ago. A great collection that was visually inconsistent for a long time but is in a good spot now and a bargain for the price. The only slight issue now from memory is that you have to download the entire thing before being able to remove games, whilst on Steam you can just select what you want up front

This game has many issues, it badly needs a radar for a start, matchmaking needs to be significantly improved. I'd rip up the car levelling up, I see what they were going for but it's tedious, oh and sort out it's PC performance.

I really wanted to like this game but it's in a pretty sorry state at the moment with it's player base pretty much non existent on Steam and in the UK at least, didn't even chart in the top 400 last year

It's utterly ridiculous, you can't enable auto upload by default and then ban users for playing a game and taking a screenshot of it. Xbox 100% caused this issue, either disable auto upload by default or automatically age restrict screenshots and videos based upon the game they are from but don't ban gamers for normal use of the console

This has been very low on my list of priorities since I first saw it and it's not gone up since. I've got way too many games I want to play before I even consider this

For as many screenshots I take across all platforms, I never actually go back to look at them. Then again I take a lot of pictures on my phone and never bother to look at them either 😄

Weakest of the 3 for me, gameplay is good but the world is far too big and bloated, whilst the zealots weren't as good as the mercenaries.

A decent game that would be better if it were half the size

It's always been silly, even more so these days when there's so little difference between the hardware, online cross play and the vast majority of games are on both anyway. I just enjoy playing video games and don't care so much what the box is that's playing them

This is pretty fun, I wouldn't say Goldeneye style though, the upcoming Agent 64 looks to better replicate the look and gameplay of Goldeneye/Perfect Dark than this does. That said it does remind me of The World is Not Enough N64 game and for a few quid you can't really go wrong

@Edwirichuu Resident Evil 2 is my favourite game from last generation, AC Valhalla is a solid game but hugely bloated in typical Ubisoft fashion

When the platform holder has moved on, I'd say the generation is over

I don't even buy Xbox games on the Xbox App on PC as its rubbish compared to Steam, and weirdly Xbox's own games are even more expensive on it than Steam. These days I choose whether I want to play a game on my console or PC as whilst this had good intentions, far too many games are missing to make it a consideration

One thing they really need to do is increase the number of random outposts and caves as it completely ruins the exploration when you come across the exact same interior time after time. The curated stuff is largely great but being so spread out means that going off the beaten path rarely rewards you with something interesting like previous Bethesda games

I've played it for about 90 hours but not touched it for the last couple of months, I'll probably jump back on for the expansion and any additions it gets

They're not really switching engines, when that particular studio is simply using the same engine they always do

Well I played Xbox more than Playstation and the Streets of Rage collection was my third most played game. Overall Forza Horizon 5 was top, I played Starfield way more but that was on Steam

Now this is a trailer I can get excited for, easily the best announcement of the show

Erm, well ok. That's a thing that someone did

Surely nobody thought this was genuinely coming to last gen consoles.

As for the trailer I thought it was alright, the graphics look really good but I'd much rather have seen some gameplay instead of some tiktok videos being recreated.

I've no doubt the game is going to be good but I won't be a hypocrite and criticise others for not showing gameplay and then get all giddy over this for doing the same. Oh and it'll obviously be 30fps on Series S and I doubt it'll be 60 on the others with that crowd density and level of detail

I bought this on Steam and there's not a game I've put more hours into this year. It's a shame it took them so long to fix Nvidia performance and add basic features like DLSS but overall its a really good game, with the quirkiest NG+ I've played

@HonestHick I wouldn't say Sony has shown very little interest in the genre, every PS5 comes with Astro Bot for a start, then there's also Sackboy and Ratchet & Clank.

I'd still like to see more though

Luckily like many others, Capcom's Steam prices are lower than consoles and £53.98, whilst a bit weird, is still a good price
