Xbox is having a great output in terms of software, and I don't doubt they will show solid games in the event, but I'm not a "hype" person. 7/10, optimistic.
What a day! I love old titles with a visual overhaul. It's a great way to revisit these timeless classics. Never played Oblivion before, so I'm double excited.
I'm using a Retroid Pocket 5 for streaming, when wife is using the TV. It works well, specially for turn based games, with a custom app that supports 1080p.
It's always a joy seeing that small device 'running' the games.
Sales, growth, costumers, value, distribution, partners, blah blah. Everytime this guy opens his mouth is to talk about bussiness. What a hollow brand has Xbox become.
I don't swallow it. I do prefer running games on hardware, natively. The more control I have, the better. I'm not against this "future", but I'm not following it. Gladly, technology give us a lot of alternatives.
Solid B. Great games overall. Glad to see Animal Well coming to Xbox, and Wuchang is looking very good. Remedy's Firebreak could be a hit with my coop partners.
Great headset for the price. Even better with Dolby Atmos plugin.
I just hope they fix some bugs like crackling sounds that requiere cleaning quick resume and reboot. Or be able to not boot the Xbox when the headset set is turn on (for use with PC, or Switch, for example).
Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster is Play Anywhere? That’s good.
This is one of the reasons I hope the rumors about a Windows handheld are true. I could take more advantage of those games I have on PC thanks to Play Anywhere. Plus PC Game Pass, that I don't use almost at all in my GPU suscription. (I don't have a decent PC).
@Utena-mobile I got what you say. It’s true there has been problems with the low memory of Series S, BG3 and Wukong cases for example.
But, Series X has been on par with PlayStation 5 in performance in the vast majority of titles. Pentiment 120fps was just an update that arrived on Series X, later.
New games like Remnant II, Alan Wake 2, Star Wars Outlaws, or Space Marine 2 ran equally as good or bad on both PS5 and XSX, same resolution, technically same framerate.
So, I can’t see how “Series X can match the Playstation easily, but it's held back by the S”, if the match is already there.

Re: Xbox's 2027 Handheld Expected To Include Nintendo Switch-Like Docking System
@Banjo- yeah, that would be concerning, and a really bad decision.
Re: Xbox's 2027 Handheld Expected To Include Nintendo Switch-Like Docking System
@Banjo- Is there an official confirmation about HDMI ports version in Switch 2 dock?
Re: Talking Point: Xbox Fans, How Many Of You Are Buying A Switch 2?
I can't justify spending that much money in a new system, and games, being I already have a solid catalog to play for years to come.

Re: Talking Point: Has This Been The Best Month Ever For Xbox Game Pass?
Sometimes, you have to give that maximum score. And, this is the case.
Re: Indie Dev Defends Xbox Game Pass As Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Sells Most On PS5
We don't know how much Microsoft payed for having the game on Game Pass. Nor we have numbers about player engagement.
Hard to debate without data.

@Utena-mobile Yeah, that's a solid combo.

Re: Surprise! Death Stranding Director's Cut Is Now Available On Xbox Series X|S
Wow. I was thinking to play it on PlayStation at some point, but now it will be on Xbox, for sure. Great price, too.
Re: Soapbox: Four Years On, I'm Already Nostalgic For The Early Xbox Series X|S Era

Re: State Of Decay 2 'Legacy Awaits' Is The Game's Final Major Update On Xbox

Re: Report: Xbox Will 'Refresh' Its Official Wireless Headset Later This Month
Great headset for the price. Even better with Dolby Atmos plugin.
I just hope they fix some bugs like crackling sounds that requiere cleaning quick resume and reboot. Or be able to not boot the Xbox when the headset set is turn on (for use with PC, or Switch, for example).

Re: 10 Great Games That Have Been Added To Xbox Play Anywhere In 2024
@nomenclaturist you are sharing a very valuable information. Is it there a way to see a full list of cross-buy titles?
Re: 10 Great Games That Have Been Added To Xbox Play Anywhere In 2024
@GuyinPA75 Play Anywhere is a program where you receive both Xbox and Windows versions of a game buying just one licence.
Nothing to do with cloud gaming.
Re: 10 Great Games That Have Been Added To Xbox Play Anywhere In 2024
Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster is Play Anywhere? That’s good.
This is one of the reasons I hope the rumors about a Windows handheld are true. I could take more advantage of those games I have on PC thanks to Play Anywhere. Plus PC Game Pass, that I don't use almost at all in my GPU suscription. (I don't have a decent PC).
You can see the full PA list in TrueAchivements.

Well, at least Nine Sols is coming in november.
Re: Opinion: As The Dust Settles On PS5 Pro, I'm Still Glad Xbox Didn't Bother
@Utena-mobile Not a cynical question, but an honest one: which games on Series X run notably worse than PS5, due to Series S holding it back?
