I’d say if you’re on the fence about the ally or switch 2 now is a good time to buy, unless you’re in Japan lol

It does look gorgeous. Looking forward to unlocking my RS200 to burn some rubber around Japan!

I’d rather have a switch 2 pro controller which has quickly become my favourite controller of all. So comfortable!

@CallMeDuraSouka haha focus tested on stock brokers and accountants love that!

Yeah I totally get your point. Sony have lost their way trying to make it in the live service world and hunters looks like it could be their next concord!

@Kezelpaso if there’s one thing that has let all previous forza’s down it was the wheel animation, glad they’ve finally listened to us! 😂

On a serious note one thing I’d like them to improve is for the dialogue to be less cheesy. It’s like they’re trying hard to make it cool. Not cool.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see horizon hunters on Xbox at some point…

I love new hardware like everyone else but I’m more than happy for new Xbox’s and PlayStation’s to be delayed.

I’m happy for starfield not to come to switch but please please please can we get a portable Forza on there?!

This has been in my backlog since near release, must get round to it some day!

Fable and Forza for me please, though I’d really like the latter on switch 2 to play on the move!

If reports are to be believed last years COD underperformed especially compared to battlefield. Having such a big release underperform would make a big dent in the figures on its own.

It’s still surprising though considering their ps5 games seemingly doing well, especially Forza.

Looked great on my pro with the performance/quality combined option!

Weird they didn’t recognise that version considering they did all other models.

Beast of reincarnation was my top pick, really looking forward to seeing more and getting my hands on it. No doubt I’ll be getting FH6 and Fable too though!

“Leaked concept art” just in perfect time to build hype for a near reveal or just well timed publicity?

All this talk of forza coming to PlayStation but I really want it on switch 2 to play on the go. Come on MS you’re leaving more money on the table here, if you’re multiplat you might as well go the whole way.

Is a shame the bitmap brothers pack isn’t the Amiga games and is instead console ports which aren’t as good!

@tho_mi is be concerned if they weren’t seeing as they bought half the industry lol.

Fable on switch 2 would be sweet.

Other rumours suggest the game was delayed so it could release on ps5 same day as Xbox. May be true…

Loved the OG Xbox but damn I forgot how big that original controller was. They must’ve developed it around Dwayne’s hands!

@Balaam_ yes I agree. It’s like they’re self congratulating themselves and saying “we’re doing you all a favour” when the reality is they just want more sales.

It’s not the hardware, more the developers optimisation.

There’s no excuse for this and you only have to look at how smooth cyberpunk is on switch 2 which is much more demanding than Skyrim.

@GameOverScreen I don’t want to sway your decision but it is good and also cheap. You’d have it in time for Christmas!

This was part of their china hero project so partly funded by Sony and possibly the reason it’s making it to market at all. Is no real surprise there’s an exclusivity deal really.

Prime 4 still for me this weekend

@GameOverScreen space marine is often £20-£25 in the uk, is it not similar in the US?

@theduckofdeath obviously. It’s just an interesting turn of events that’s all.

Wow the sales must be bad for them to come out with this. Battlefield must’ve really smacked them round the chops!

@BrownOwl fair enough we all have our reasons, each to their own and all that!

@BrownOwl the npc chat isn’t that frequent and is only at the beginning of the game. You can also turn the audio off if you prefer. Is a shame if that’s the reason you’re holding off on it as it’s brilliant.

It doesn’t really remind me of halo at all but more like prime 1.

Is a superb game so far, really enjoying it!

Not much free time this weekend but the time I do get will be prime 4. Loving it so far and still trying to get over how smooth 120fps is on a switch!

If they haven’t even got a permit yet I’d be thinking this will be for their next hardware. It takes a lot of time to set up tooling and production lines etc and I doubt they’d set up for X/S with new hardware a few years out.

But then what do I know!?

That’s true but it’s nice playing it on the go!

@RegnumSolipsi ah ok fair enough!

@RegnumSolipsi there’s some good Black Friday deals on ps5 out there at the moment.

I’d actually love a proper remaster of 3 for new gen consoles. That was the peak for me and I’m bored of new entries disappointing in comparison so why not just remake the best?!

Crazy that gta5 is in there and we’re all these years later and it’s still in many worldwide top 10’s!

@themightyant yeah agree, the ps5 discounts are decent this year.

I’m surprised MS didn’t stock up like Sony did while prices were low, especially considering their new hardware plans.

“we we very happy with the experience back in the way”

You had a few early drinks today my man? 😂

On topic PGR was easily my favourite game at launch but there were so many great games over this generation. The 360 was the pinnacle of Xbox in my opinion and the executive team wiped the floor with the current execs.

Well done to the critics for choosing DK which is my goty so far.

Expedition a close second though!

At the time I couldn’t believe they dropped this series and still can’t even today. Loved these games!

You don’t need a degree in economics to know the higher you price the lower the volume of your sales.

Prices have been increasing, simple!

One of the worst acquisitions ever made in my opinion for the price they paid. Thought they were crazy at the time but feel it was a knee-jerk reaction to MS’s deals at the time.

Nice! 360 was peak Xbox in my opinion. Used to enjoy listening to Larry on his podcast back in the day…

@Kaloudz yes that’s what he’s saying. If someone comes in and funds the project and it ends up costing 100m, it’s only cost them 50m as the first 50m has already been funded by MS.

@Cakefish just wanted to say hi as I’m one of the dozens of Metroid fans 😀 can’t wait for 4!

Does look good. Not played it in 25 years so may well pick it up at some point…

I have too many games and not enough time as it is with my current setup so adding more isn’t something I’m up for at this stage.

The hardware looks good but I’m not a fan of windows OS.

Oooh love a sexy new gadget, enjoy!
