The current dashboard is average at best, preferred it much more b4 they made it ad-filled.

It’d be nice if there was a way to show ur games library & make it take up the entire screen (..fullscreen!) with the ability to change the tile size. Atm, u can only have a limited no. of tile sizes & always with a massive menu sidebar on the left..

I originally played System Shock 2 on PC ages ago & it became 1 of my all time favourite games right up there with the original Deus Ex. The atmosphere is soo kool, & the music by Eric Brosius is legendary & will permanently be on my playlist!

I never played the original (SS1), but am nearly finished with the remake, which I highly recommend (altho it does hav some jank, eg rebinding the bumpers, fx page switching on ur PDA). I still prefer SS2, & don’t think u need to play the remake 1st..HST, the remake’s still worth playing!

Turned it off straight away. Funny that it takes EIGHT steps to turn it off..with 7 being the most annoying/hidden if you don’t know that the new ‘feature’ is called “game hubs”.

Agree with the person that said this is something that should be manually turned on for those that like it, as opposed to automatically switched on. Pressing X to see hubs would be better

Also, agree that Xbox should fix the home screen so users can have their groups back & get rid of adverts

Just picked up Sekiro 😻 curious to see if the parrying is as good/better than Lies of P. Thinking about getting Dragon’s dogma 2-heard it’s buggy on Xbox tho 🙁

I was excited for the Switch2, then found out about the £75 price of games, which instantly turned me off. Also, apparently its minimum battery life is 2hrs! Games I’d like to play (like Cyberpunk) wud probably kill the battery immediately.

So, I'll stick with my Switch1 OLED (which I still have a massive backlog with), & original SteamDeck LCD.

The 360 era had some awesome games! 🚀 Looking forward to what NightDive comes up with..👍🎮🔊

Unreal Tournament 2004, Emulation Station 😺

I’ve had 2 elites, both broke within a few months (shoulder & some face buttons stopped working properly). While I liked the controller, the programmability, & back buttons - it don’t matter, if it don’t work! Here’s hoping someone actually does QC if/when the E3 comes out..

Also, with XB’s “play anywhere” philosophy, it’d be sweet if they extended that to being able to use ANY 3rd party wireless controller with XB - That’s 1 of the main advantages the Switch has, u can use soo many controllers with it! Just wish other companies like Sony+MS/XB did the same..

Finished (& loved!) Avowed a while back - All I want is a New Game Plus mode, so I can use the items that u only get in the last few hours of gameplay..

These have not got very favourable reviews on amazon, with buttons that stick & disconnecting issues - otherwise I’d’ve considered them..

I look forward to hearing more about this handheld 😺

Would love to play more 360 games! 💗

Buying this as soon as I turn my SX on! 💞🎮🌈🎧🚀

If this is as good as the original trilogy, will definitely get! 🎮🐉🚀

@InterceptorAlpha what controller would you recommend for pc?

@Xbox_Dashboard XBox is my preferred way to play arcade style games too - especially because it has native support for 8bitDos wireless Arcade stick 🕹️. Hopefully this collection comes to Xbox too..🌅

This was one of my favourite game announcements during the Direct - hopefully Capcom & MS can find a way to bring it to Xbox 🚀

All the other recent Capcom collections are on Xbox, so hopefully this makes it over soon 🚀

Xbox handheld reveal/release date 🚀

For me, the Browse the Store button has always been there when the dashboard got updated - So now there are 2 Store buttons on the homescreen

Still hate this new “update” for killing Groups & killing customisation

I’d like XBox to make a dedicated handheld, where you could install & play games you own, & play Gamepass via the cloud. Also, gyro controls would be welcome..😺🎮🚀

It’s pretty good, but navigation / organisation needs a lot of work. The good is that it’s lag free. The bad is finding games & even basic navigation is laborious - Eg if you want to scroll to the right side of the screen, you can’t just hold right on the dpad - you have to tap right every time! This is insane if the list is 1400+!

Still I think it will get better 😺 bezels option, remap controls & better navigation will hopefully come in the future..🎮🚀🎧🐬🌈

Hate the new dashboard, let me pin all my groups back & remove the rows of Ads..

Hate the new dashboard for killing my pinned groups & not letting me remove the endless rows of Ads. Functionally, finding games is harder & more annoying. There’s also lots of redundancy - 2 Store buttons, a GP button, then loads of GP Ads underneath.

Most of my hate for it could easily be fixed by letting me put my Groups back where they were before - you know, so I can easily find & play my games - & letting me remove the rows of Ads I don’t care about..

I don’t like the new dashboard - it has killed my pinned Groups, allowing only 2 maximum - & there is no way to delete or move the other pins..

So now there’s less customisation / personalisation with seeing your content. Since there’s no option / setting to change how the other pins are, MS/XB has removed choice from the user.

The only solution, other than leaving feedback with XBSupport (which I’ve done) is to go to the all games list to find games (this will be harder for people with larger libraries, & who took the time to make/arrange them into groups)

TLDR: Bring back customisation by allowing users to pin/delete whatever they choose. Thanks for reading, wishing you all the best

Halo would definitely work in VR in the same way Doom, Quake, Half Life, all work!

It’s v.interesting to know some games like Halo & apparently MS Flight Simulator had potential VR modes. Now MS just needs to make their own headset, or allow others (from HTC, etc) to work with Xbox..

@Kaloudz Yes, Facing Worlds is the 1 where you’re on an asteroid with the Earth rotating around it! Back in the day I loved getting headshots by sniping, but these days I prefer storming the fort with the Translocater. This map is also in UT3, but I prefer how it looks in the original.

Totally agree re simplicity of old shooters. I recently completed Quake1 including all the new/extra content & it was a blast! Also, finished Dusk, which is a mixture of Blood, Doom64 & Quake, & was v.kool too, but it’s only on PC+Switch atm.

These types of shooters are really fun, but the atmosphere of Unreal Tournament is unique & timeless! 🚀

@Kaloudz The one on Dreamcast was UT99, that was the original Unreal Tournament, which got me into arena shooters & totally agree that it’s a classic game! IIRC, the map you’re talking about is a CTF one - it might be Lava Giant, but UT99 had so many great maps. My favourite was Facing Worlds 🚀

Re upcoming titles: There is a new one on PC that hasn’t been officially released, that’s sposed to be good, but I’ve never played it. Also afaik the Unreal devs only work on Fortnite now, which is a shame, because UT is soo much better. You never know tho, with so many classic games coming back like Doom, Quake, System Shock, etc, maybe arena shooters can too! 😺

I’d also love Quake2 & Quake3Arena on Xbox! Quake Arena Arcade was one of the last games to get BC support, but don’t know how different it is to Q3A.

@Kaloudz totally agree re the Unreal Tournament series - I have all the XB BC versions of the game (UT3 & Unreal Championship2), but would love the original UT99, as well as the other versions, especially UT2004, which was my favourite of the UT series. Will definitely be firing up UT2004 on my Steamdeck, if I ever get one! 😺

Hi, I would love to replay the original Deus Ex & Thief games on Xbox! Sequels of these games would also be v.kool 😺🎮🚀

Gears3 is one of my fave games! 👍🎮🚀

But if they do this collection, I hope they keep the AI the same when playing team death match offline (as opposed to how crazy it is in 5).

Also, I hope they add an option to turn off the screen shake when you sprint/roadie-run, it’s extremely vomit inducing 🤮

Hi, I’m away from my Home Xbox & couldn’t play anything yesterday, I haven’t tried this morning, but status page still shows problems.

I really think MS should find a way to let us play offline in these situations (on our non-home Xbox). Thanks

Booo!!! 😾😾😾

Ads shouldn’t be in games imo

No, no, thank you Phil! & thanks to all the Xbox team & family!! 👍🚀🌈🎮🎧💗

All the time! ✨ Back compat is one of the best features of Xbox for me. Working my way through the original Splinter Cell Trilogy 🎮

Also love playing arcade style games like Crazy Taxi, DaytonaUSA, TekkenTagTournament & FPS games like Unreal Tournament 3 & Unreal Championship 2 🎮🌈🚀

Hi, imo any FPS game or racing game is so much better in VR - So to answer which game I’d like: any Doom, Quake series of games would be great! I’d also love to play Forza horizon series in VR, & super fast futuristic racers like Radial-G & Redout are v.nice.

VR is the main reason I’ll be getting a PS5+PSVR2, if Xbox ever released their own one, or somehow worked with another company like HTC/etc to let me play VR games using my SeriesX, I definitely would reconsider getting a PS5+PSVR2..

HST, since the announcement of PSVR2, I’ve been getting back into the PS ecosystem, & am loving Doom3VR with the Aim controller (despite tracking issues). Also, I miss playing exclusive games like Street Fighter 5 & Guilty Gear Strive on Xbox..

Still I’m v.excited about the future of Xbox, video games, & technology in general - There’s lots happening! 😺🎮🚀🎧🎸

Steam on Xbox would be nice 👌

Anyone know if they fixed the washed out/too bright cutscenes in the single player campaign?
Cheers

Being an FPS fan I’d love to have more control options like Gyro! Doom Eternal 120FPS mode is the closest I’ve experienced to mouse aiming control, it’s very smooth, but still not as precise.

Atm, I’m playing Doom3 on PSVR with the Aim controller, as well as playing it on XBSX with a pad & the difference is night & day - the Aim is soo much better! When playing on the SX I get used to the slower aiming, but definitely would welcome other types of control 👍

Also, played some RE7 with PSVR & it uses your look direction to aim - so your head is like a giant gyro! It works extremely well, much, much better than just a pad..

@Ashadelo kool! 😺 thanks for letting us know 👍 Enjoy your 🎮!

@Ashadelo I’ve also had the same issue with the ForzaSE controller & another Xbox series controller - both of which I returned. Luckily, the pads that came with my series S & X both have perfectly functioning guide buttons.

Please let us know if this update fixes the issue for you? - I really would love to know if this is a hardware/software issue..
