@Deshalu ya don’t pay $14.99 for Game Pass do ya??? Do ya not know the Live Gold thing??? I pay £50 a year for Game Pass Ultimate!!

@Moonglow like what??? Spiderman is leaving soon, it’s been on a year. Miles has been on the same an that’s staying.

It looks ok, not on the same level as Playstation exclusives but not bad. Altho it’s not specifically an exclusive, it’s a third party game that Microsoft bought an kept to themselves.

Think i’m gonna get Dead Island 2 before i get this. That looks fantastic!!

@senote just buy a PS5!! That works!!

@shoeses there are over a thousand more PS5 game than Series X games. If ya talking about exclusives i think Xbox has about 69 exclusives, PS5 has about 260!!

@ZuneTattooGuy There seems to be no discrepancies between Ray Tracing for PS5 and Xbox Series X, with both providing near-identical quality for RT shadows, ambient occlusion, and draw distance for foliage/geometry. Both aim for the same resolution target and seem to be utilizing dynamic resolution scaling.

@Green-Bandit didn’t Microsoft offer Sony COD on PS+ too? Sony must really not trust Microsoft, can’t understand why they’re so hung up about it after Microsoft’s offer.

@shoeses not on Playstation they haven’t. Their AAA exclusives are always big sellers. Xbox need to release more exlusives, hopefully this year they pull it off!

@NEStalgia as long as it’s in ya library ya can download an play. Google it, it tells ya on there.

@XBOX045 yeah, once the games added to ya library it’s yours.

I wish Xbox did wat Playstation does. If a game leaves PS+, so long as ya added it to ya library ya can still download an play it. My PS library has literally hundreds of games in there.

Says Res Evil 4 remake improved the original, then ranks the original higher??? 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️
Res Evil 2 an 4 are best, Village, Res Evil 7, Code Veronica, Res Evil 1.

I’m def gettin Dead Island 2. Just can’t decide wat to buy it on??? PS5 or Series X??? Got more memory on my PS5 but also more games. Just don’t wanna buy Xbox veersion then they say the PS5 version performs better!!

I so hope Starfield lives up to the hype!! Can’t help feelin concerned it’ll just be OK.

@Serpentes420 yeah, i agree. Like i said i have no problem people preferring one over the other. I just don’t get why some seem to think you have to choose sides. Like you’d never catch a football fan wearing a rival teams shirt, even if it’s a gorgeous looking shirt! I get that! I’m a football fan, Sheff Wednesday, i wouldn’t be seen dead in a Sheff United shirt!! With video games tho it’s bizarre!!

@Banjo- you’re very touchy. I’ve not given you any grief wat so ever. There’s really no need to be so defensive!! It just puzzles me why you hate Playstation. You’re a gamer, Playstation an Xbox are the best systems on the market, Switch is cool too but PS an Xbox are top of the pile. You’d have much more fun if you just played both. Like i said, prefering Xbox is fine, opinions and all, but the hate is really not necessary.

@Banjo- it’s just the hate dude. It’s bonkers. Like i said, it’s like Man United an Liverpool fans. They hate each other too. But that’s football, there’s huge rivalry.

@Banjo- he basically called you a fanboy. I’m not callin you anything but i can see why he said that. I’m not anti Xbox just because i prefer Playstation. Like i said, i wish i couldn’t choose as they both make my fav games. I love Xbox, i LOVE Playstation. You come across as tho you love Xbox an HATE Playstation.

@Banjo- @sanquine Banjo, you do come across as very anti Playstation. It’s fine to have a preference, i think i told ya before i own both PS5 an Series X, both are incredible but i do prefer the PS5 simply because their exclusives are my fav type of games. If Xbox started releasing huge, story driven games my preference may alter. I’d like to be able to say i can’t choose, both make incredible, story driven games. I live in hope Starfield lives up to the hype. Hating on Playstation comes across as very fanboyish tho, you talk about Playstation like a Manchester United fan talks about Liverpool. Hence the term fanboy.

@NeoRatt i don’t agree with it either, 3rd party games should come to all devices day 1. I’m all for exclusives made by Playstation, Xbox, Nintendo but timed exclusives should be stopped. I own all 3 consoles but not everyone does. I’m just saying it’s been about since Atari 2600 days. Xbox did it too wen the 360 had a close user base to PS3. Think PS3 sold about 3 mill more consoles than 360, it was very close.

I really don’t understand why people are so angry with Playstation paying for timed exclusivity??? This isn’t a new thing. The first console to do this was Atari 2600. They had by far the biggest user base an paid for arcade games to be exclusive to Atari. Nintendo then paid for game devs to not make any games for other systems at all. Their cartridges had a chip that prevented them being copied. Wen game devs started releasing unlicensed games for other systems Nintendo sued the devs and the companies who took the games. This was eventually deemed illegal! Playstation 1 paid for exclusivity to GTA 3, then Xbox came on the scene an did the same for various games. To slate Playstation for doing this is bizarre!!! They have all done it!!

@UnusedBabyWipes so you’ll be buying shares in Activision? They’re currently about $79. If the acquisition goes thro Microsoft will pa $92 per share!!

@Fenbops why??? You want rubbish games??? I own both machines, i wouldn’t ssay i’m a fanboy but i do prefer Playstation simply because, imo, their exclusives are my absolute fav type of games. Huge story driven games which amazing stories, characters and acting worthy of an Oscar. If Xbox started releasing these type of games i’d love that!!

@Tharsman Atari 2600 was the first console to do timed exclusive games. Atari, being the dominant company in gaming at the time, was able to outbid any competitor for the hottest arcade games. Plus, many of the biggest games were actually produced by the arcade division of Atari.
There weren't many timed exclusives during the NES era because of Nintendo's strict (and eventually ruled illegal) licensing practices. Nintendo barred it's licensees from producing ANY games for competing consoles. The NES had a lockout chip, and a code must be programmed into each cartridge for the games to play. When developers found ways around the code and produced unlicensed games, Nintendo sued them, as well as threatened retailers who carried the unlicensed games. With Nintendo controlling 90% of the market, retailers couldn't afford to be cut off by Nintendo, so most declined to carry the unlicensed games.
The 16 bit era also saw few timed exclusives, but it did have one of the biggest - Street Fighter II. SFII was the biggest game of the early 90's, and Nintendo struck a deal with Capcom for an exclusive SNES home version in 1992. Although the Sega Genesis was doing very well at the time, the timed SFII exclusive caused a big surge in SNES sales, and is generally considered to be a turning point for Nintendo. Capcom would eventually release a Genesis version in 1993, but the SNES benefited the most, by far, from the most popular game of the time.
The next generation is where timed exclusives really became a major component of a company's strategy. The Sony Playstation, Sega Saturn, and Nintendo 64 were the first consoles designed to produce primarily 3D polygon graphics. Sony wanted games to show off the power of the Playstation, and they found several. Ridge Racer, Wipeout, Battle Arena Toshinden, and Destruction Derby were technically impressive (for the time), pick up and play games that really proved that the next generation had arrived, so Sony locked up timed exclusivity deals for those four games.
The PS2/Xbox/Gamecube generation saw one of the biggest timed exclusive deals of all time. Sony purchased the rights for the Grand Theft Auto series games, starting with GTA III. GTA III and GTA: Vice City are among the best selling PS2 games of all time, and Sony's timed exclusive deals put a stranglehold on the competition. GTA: San Andreas would later be a simultaneous multi-platform release, but by that time, the console race was over.
Virtua Fighter 5 was a timed PS3 exclusive, appearing on Xbox 360 a year later. Mass Effect 2 & Bioshock were major timed Xbox 360 exclusives. MS also followed Sony's example and licensed two episodes of Grand Theft Auto to be released first on Xbox 360. Our current generation has also seen the evolution of timed exclusive downloadable content, notably map packs for some of the biggest shooters.
Sorry for the long post but pretty much every console in every gen, including Xbox, have done this. Playstation became the number one selling console, PS2 being the biggest selling ever so this gives them more power in acquiring timed exclusive deals. If Xbox where the biggest selling console on the market they would 💯 do the exact same.

@Fenbops that’s very fanboyish wanting other platform games to flop. I wouldn’t speak too soon, could bite ya on the arse when Starfield releases. Imagine the absolute barrage of laughter and grief if that’s a mess. 37 years worth of delays, stupendous hype an it’s just not very good! PS fanboys will never let Xbox fanboys live it down.

@GamingFan4Lyf how did ya get to play it already???

@Banjo- i agree they shouldn’t do it, it’s a bit underhand. A bit like unsportsman like conduct. I own both machines so i get to play either way but not everyone does.

@Banjo- to be fair it was Xbox that started that back in the 360 days.

@LightningLeader they’re not Playstation exclusives, it’s just a deal devs are willing to do as they know their game will sell massively on Playstation. I’m talking about games made by Sony/Microsoft owned devs. So TLOU, God of War, Spiderman, Miles, Ghost of Tsushima, Days Gone, Horizon, Ratchet an Clank, Gran Turismo, etc. xbox has Gears, Halo, Forza, etc. Sony buy devs an invest an nurture them and they turn out GOTY contenders. Microsoft simply want to buy already huge games an make them exclusive.

@LightningLeader if Microsoft devs make exclusives that’s fine. Simply buying huge devs and making 3rd party games exclusive isn’t. That’s the problem. Sony an Nintendo make great games. Microsoft buy great games.

I played the demo, worked fine for me. This was on PS5 so dunno bout Series X, not tried on there as i assumed they’d be the same. If this is the case i think ya making a mountain out of a mole hill. So i have to push the left stick forwards 2 millimetres to move, you want to move at 1 millimetres? Like, big deal!! Digital Foundry are too expert for me. Seen lots of their vids of games saying certain games run much better on PS5 than Series X. I can’t see any difference!! Even wen i watch their vid an they pause an point at stuff i’m like???? Wtf are they looking at!? It looks the same!!

@Sam_TSM i was a big fan in late 80’s, early 90’s. Not so much now but my 9 year old twin boys are. Bought this for them an i have to say it’s very good. I’ve not bought a wrestling game since Megadrive days. A lot of the wrestlers i don’t know but there’s a lot from my time too. Hulk Hogan, Ultimate Warrior, Jake the Snake, Andre the Giant, Big Boss Man, Rowdy Rody Piper, Undertaker, Brett Hart, etc.

@Chuffer my god!! Like that matters!! 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

I got it on PS5 right at the start, cost me £7 i think. Think there was a time limit an then the price went up.

@NintendoByNature they’re pretty much the same game but 23 has better visuals an a few extras thrown in. Buyin both in a sale will prob cost similar to buying 23 now. Ya may as well just do that!!

Was in 2 minds about getting this as i finished it on PS2 an only recently bought it on Oculus Quest 2. Played the demo just to see what they did with it and it’s fantastic!! My birthday on 21st March so asked the missus for this. I don’t mind waiting a few days for my prezzie.

@BAMozzy yeah, PS Vita was great but Sony dropped it.

No, wat is the point!!?? PS4 pro an Xbox One X was justified, 4K TV’s had just taken off. What are they gonna improve this time? Not a cat in hells chance i’d pay another £560+ for more fps an slightly better visuals. It’s just not worth it. People harp on that PC’s are way better than PS5 an XSX. I really don’t see it, the difference is minimal! I’m 💯 satisfied with the performance my consoles have now. I think an upgrade now would be a cash grab, they haven’t released anything that can push the machines yet!! If they release one an it’s 8K, 240 fps, has a 4tb hard drive, improved haptic pad, half the size an cheaper than PS5/XSX then maybe.

@BAMozzy you can go the handheld rout with the backbone. I just bought one, they’re £99 in stores but got mine on offer for £60. They’re incredible. Only played my PS5 games on it so far, only had it a day, but it works on Series X too. Will prob try it tomo. Ya do of coarse need an iPhone too.

How can there be spoilers??? It’s a remake!! Like saying there are spoilers for the Titanic film. Spoiler alert!!! Yeah, it sinks!!

Wat about High on Life!!!!!!!

Looking at this an everything that’s been said you’d say this deal will 100% go thro regardless of Sony. You’d think Sony may as well bite the bullet an accept the deal on offer, a deal that, to me, sounds very good an reasonable. However Sony aren’t backing down, not one bit. Makes me think Sony must have something up their sleeve that they think will def scupper the deal. I trade a bit in shares an av been eyeing Activision for a while, they’re currently about £77 per share. If the deal goes thro i’ve read MS will pay share holders about £92 per share. That’s a very good profit. I’m just not 100% confident it’ll go thro because of how Sony are being. They must think they av a good chance of blocking the deal.

@Bleachedsmiles Microsoft prob couldn’t get the same deals for COD that Sony get. Sony get exclusive content an what not because of the huge COD sales on Playstation. 70% of COD console purchases are on Playstation. If it was only about money Microsoft would win hands down an get wat ever exclusive content or early release they wanted.

How many gig is Starfield gonna be!? Bigger than a COD??
