Like the top commenter said, it's sad to see this. What Xbox fans got from competitor anyway ... nothing. Nothing worthy to remember and especially not at the same level as HiFi Rush, if that game end up being what's being talked here.

Admirable position you guys stand on. But unfortunately (or fortunately?) Microsoft's cheques can speak much louder. It's just a matter of time.

Is Vision of Mana the first Mana game on Xbox? Looks great, looking forward to it. Phil & friends i give you my thanks for this effort.

That just UNEXPECTED. Well done, SEGA! Looking forward to modern iteration of JSRF.

Looking forward to this.

Might be just me but that was surprisingly good. Awards stuffs don't take much time then back to back-to-back world premieres. B from me, i watched till the end.

Other than maintaining CoD games that's already released, please put this franchise to the long rest it deserves, Microsoft.

MGS1 on Series S using Duckstation runs at 4K, correct widescreen aspect ratio (not stretched 4:3), and much less wobbly graphics. Other two should be easy 1440p. Here, they don't even bother on bare minimum effort like increasing rendering resolution.

So yeah, not gonna expect much on Vol. 2 then. The only good thing about it is MGS4 will finally be available to the masses.

That's just unfortunate. Probably very late at this point with priorities changed here and there, so they no longer bother.

Anyway, i would like for next-gen Xbox console to at least have system-level framerate unlocker with adjustable framerate limiter that's applicable to all X1 to XS games.

Yes, it doesn't have to be detachable though. Just a separate bluray drive accesory connected to Xbox with usb cable.

It's cool that OT2 is finally coming even though i expect more from SE like 2 - 3 games. Guess it's still too soon for announcement of the eventual FFVIIR on Xbox.

Doom Year Zero sounds fun. Also some chance we'll be getting Starfield DLC next year.

@Rmg0731 i can smell the stench of your hate from here. Now please, go back to nintendo life or whatever

Said it few times in the past that Bethesda should offer optional 40 fps mode on 120 hz screen like R&C Rift Apart. It's literally perfect middleground, smoother than 30 fps with even frametime on 120 hz screen. Also, Todd said it himself that the game can run above 30 fps but they prefer to lock it anyway. Performance headroom exist it's doable to do.

That's crazy and it's still on EARLY ACCESS. Whoever managed to get to play the game right now, enjoy your time and just ignore Bethesda's persistent overwhelming hate & mockery out there.

In Todd We Trust 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Imo it would have been ideal and better for everyone (devs & users) if Series S is One X but with architectural upgrades (same amount of system memory, same gpu raw performance, etc).

It's nice though that Phil reassured us that Series S is here to stay. I'm also curious whether FSR3 will make its way to consoles or not.

Emulation wins again, with Duckstation you can play the game at 4K 16:9 with CORRECT graphics proportion even on Series S. The downside is stretched UI but believe me, it's far from as bad as you think it would be.

@Snake_V5 that's how it is in PS1, 4:3 aspect ratio. I assume the game is running within emulation/translation layer and not really a port. That's why MGS2 & 3 are also at their original resolution and framerate.

@AverageGamer my bad you're right ... They just had to have same 'Avalanche' on the front lol

More power to Contraband development? Probably not .....

Well .... Damn. The point of budget console Series S is more accesibility and increased Xbox platform adoption by the masses after Xbox One disaster. I think it's good decision but the execution left many to be desired. Specs are too far apart, few games released for the S lacks feature parity with the X such as performance mode. Then it will eventually scare devs because of more work of optimizing for Series S that will lead to delayed release of Xbox version just like this game. Devs that don't want to deal with that mess will just skip Xbox platform which ultimately meaning less games compared to competitor and well ... less adoption by consumer because of less games.

I like the idea honestly, Series S, small enough to be put into backpack and accesories like xScreen is just perfect for the S. But i think it's not wise for Xbox to do another budget console again for the next-gen, too much headache for devs when X & S specs are too far apart.

No way it won't be exclusive. It will literally be one of flagship titles for next gen Xbox for sure.

If console version have mod support then i guess we can only depend on that for ground vehicles and other stuff (could be part of dlc too in the future). I didn't even thought of ground vehicles tbh until someone else talking about it in twitter. It just sounds very cool to me and a bit of let down that vanilla starfield won't have it.

@FatalBubbles oh my, ofc that would be your comment on this article

Bunch of losers expected themselves to make any difference in this whole acquisition situation. Lol

Not a fighting game fan so i'm just sad all this time they are not doing anything with 'Shaolin Monks' name. Like, make a sequel or remaster or anything. I'll be hyped regardless.

That kinda implied MS is done and no longer trying in bringing GI to Xbox? Anyway, there is one upcoming GI competitor that MS might want to look at called Wuthering Waves from Kuro Game (Punishing Gray Raven developer).

Mihoyo also had few games on the horizon such as Honkai Star Rail and Zenless Zone Zero. They aren't open world like GI but Microsoft can try bringing those to Xbox instead to bolster Xbox library of Chinese live-service games.

From what i've seen so far, the game isn't promising to begin with. Now this ... such a turn off.

Nothing new, just the usual SE bullsh1t. How they decide what to be released on Xbox is just weird and questionable as hell.

Come on, FSR 2.0 exist. That's definitely better than using standard dynamic resolution tech.

One thing i love so much about Series S is it's physical dimension so i'm not a fan of the concept even if it's more powerful. If Xbox are going to do Pro/Enhanced console this gen then i hope they can maintain the size of Series S and add disc drive. Wishful thinking i know but let me dream at least.

It's depressing sometimes. Series S hardware is capable enough and i'm not blaming it but seems like Microsoft just let devs do whatever they want (crappy work included) and permitted devs to release their game even if it's at worst state possible. There needs to be comprehensive quality check and test by Microsoft to know how the game runs on their system. Microsoft also needs to impose devs an approriate technical standard for their games like they must provide 60fps mode on Series S. When Series S get another bad press like this it affects the overall Xbox brand.

@awp69 that will be additional $10 sir

Looks great imo. If their RE remake plan goes all the way to RE6 where they dial down the action significantly and crank up the survival horror aspect to the max, i'm all for that.

But ... Wo Long reveal doesn't have any gameplay in it 🤭

It's public info that not all legacy games (PS3 and below) run natively on the consoles but do we have a list for the ones that did?

Wanna give it D at first but the last 20 minutes of the showcase somehow saved it for me. So ..... B–.

Maybe i'm the only one who wants the complete opposite of that idea. People have options to buy blank disc which can be used to store their digitally purchased games complete with all the latest patches and DLCs. You know, the ability to make your own physical copy of your digitally owned games. Security issues here and there but that's not my job to figure that out.

Freaking marlisjun purposely becoming a pony just to gather audiences for her onlyfans account later lmaooooo

Not sure i'm gonna play it if it's really happening but yeah, Genshin Impact on Xbox (HI3 or Star Rail would be another story). Just wanna hear it for some reason. Also it's time to unveil that Kojima×Xbox game if it's exist in the first place.

What else? Maybe something like they revealing high budget AAA JRPG game in development exclusively for Xbox. I'm no longer excited if it's something like FFVIIR or Persona port though i'm still happy.

Not even familiar with Soul Hacker series but HOLY DAMN Atlus games coming back to Xbox!!!

February 21st will be remembered forever

Sorry this is a bit out of topic but since this comment section also talks fair share of JRPG then i'm gonna ask does anyone know that rumour of SE won't be releasing FF games on Xbox this generation? What's the credibility on that? If it's true then it's damn huge blow for Xbox especially on japan.

This is one of the best news in gaming.

Hopefully it's released with reworked modern FPS controls, 60fps framerate minimum, higher resolution & anti-aliased graphics, higher resolution textures with original game aesthetic just to make the game not blurry while rendering it in high resolution (bonus points if it's handcrafted and not AI-upscaled one).

Not a fan with the shoes' design. I would prefer Ultraboost 21/22 design with a colorway that represents Xbox.

Bruh devs made a good attempt at killing the game before it's released ...

...

Now i wonder how many people will find a way to blame MS & Xbox for this one

Still gonna play the game tho it's on gamepass i have nothing to lose

Been seeing lots of f2p games priced their skins/outfits/cosmetic items around $20 or more, i'm starting to accept that maybe it's actually fair price for those items?? Personally thought it's hella expensive and i only use cosmetic items from BP or free ones from events so i never bought them.

Gotta wonder how did that price make sense in the first place... I mean ... a third of AAA game price for just one outfit? The more expensive ones can even get you 3 full priced AAA games? What is the reason? Is it pure company greed, high cost to maintain server and pay live-service dev team, or actually not many people buy cosmetic stuffs? Anyway the price is nuts, period.

But does Keanu Reeves play video games in the first place? 🤔

As an Xbox fan i'm gonna give it C. Enjoyed few surprise reveals, gameplay footage of Hellblade 2, and happy that few Xbox games win in few award categories but ..... where are these 5 world premieres in the same scale as Elden Ring? I don't even feel 1 lmao but that doesn't make them bad. Alan Wake 2 and Wonder Woman game for me for the reveals. The rest ehh.... don't really care about them for now.

Still no FFVIIR announcement on Xbox despite it being announced for PC (EGS lol) weakens my confidence of the game appearing on Xbox. No FFXIV port announcement on Xbox. No new game announcement from XGS/Publishing/Bethesda. No Avowed gameplay reveal. And Atlus games which i've accepted won't come to Xbox whatsoever, still managed to irks me a bit.

That's on the Xbox side. Generally i expect more like DQXII gameplay or atleast story trailer with targeted platforms, Sonic Frontiers gameplay, much better Atlus announcement like remaster/remake of P3, P4G and/or P5R port released for all modern platforms, also that rumour of Chrono Cross remake ..... lowkey expecting blue side announce it especially from Bluepoint. Ah yes still no new info about FFXVI too...

This looks unbelievably good but i wish they show a bit of ingame UI. If someone said it's a prerendered CGI with very controlled third person cinematography i would have believe it.
