@Kharjo That's a good question. I feel like they'd still be allowed because this is more to fight devices that tell the xbox that a mouse and keyboard are controllers giving them a advantage in crossplay games that group you depending on your peripherals. I'll have try.
@somnambulance As much as I know they're milking gta online. I think another problem is how big the games are getting that keeps them from developing other game. It took all their studios to make red dead redemption 2 and I imagine most of their studios are working on gta vi. I doubt they wanna take their studios off of their two big ips to work on their other ips that didn't sell as well. Which sucks because I really would love a new Midnight Club.
No I'm not I waited until the summer of 2015 and got the MCC bundle. Picked up that, Ryse, and Forza 5. I had a really good time with the console though.
Had 2 models a slim and an older styled model with an hdmi. Neither have had problems except having to replace the disc drives band so it would eject again on the older model.
@BrilliantBill For sure, every one of those teams that made fantastic remakes (and in the case of one also made a great sequel in crash 4) got shoved onto activision gaas games (Cod, Crash Rumble, and Diablo).
@CutchuSlow because odds are people would figure out a way to pirate games in a week via a modded drive. It happened enough with 360 and it's disc drive back in the day.
Of course the second consoles go all digital I'm done with them and going to pc. I like using my older consoles and all 3 console owners have shown they are happy to shut off digital store fronts. Atleast on those I still have a physical collection. If a consoles digital only and they shut off the store fronts I have a console I can't even buy a game for. Atleast on pc most games have been backed up if a store goes down.
There is zero reason why they couldn't put it on disc a few weeks later then. It almost make me think that they could find a physical publisher since they self published the game. My guess is a limited run type company will come along at some point and I'll be all over that physical copy.
@Episode_13 Even if consoles were on the internet 24/7 (lets ignore people who might have spotty internet or on laptops), but servers are not always up making the game unplayable when unplanned or planned server outages happen.
I was subscribed before First party titles were added day one. So as long as the selection is still good. I'd be okay with the removal especially if it means the games are higher quality.
They couldn't have included their classic games like splinter cell, rayman 3 and Far Cry 2. Heck they should have done far cry 3's 360 version so that people had the choice of using the fps boost mode on it.
I have a 1 TB external SSD for games I want to transfer fast if I wanna play and want to get them off internal storage for a bit. I also have a 4 TB for backwards compatible games and ones I don't play as often.
@ZuneTattooGuy I actually got the WD BLACK 1TB SN850 for $69 from my local walmart. Although it was on clearance. So I know the deals are out there if you look for them.
@Jey887 it actually runs pretty decently for a handheld. The CPU was always the ps4s weak point on this game and the steam deck seems to have that beat. I'd guess it was just a genuine glitch. Weird stuff happens in open world games even the mosted polished one
@GamingFan4Lyf The only possible benefit I could think of is to higher the dynamic resolution. I'd imagine it would hit 4k pretty regularly with a 30 fps cap. I wouldn't want to give up 60 fps though.
My biggest issue is I wish games that didn't support quick resume had a prompt when you open a new game that tells you that you'll be closing the other game. I'd also like a way to either reduce how many games are stored or to turn it off completely. That way they could reduce the use of the internal storage. It would be useful on series s especially.

Re: Xbox Series S 1TB Version Was Created Due To 'Really Consistent Feedback', Says Microsoft
I think the biggest problem with the price is for $50 more in the USA you could get your self a ps5 digital which is vastly more powerful.

Re: Forza Motorsport Campaign Gameplay Introduces RPG-Like Progression
It reminds me of older racing games so that's good. It's too bad about the online requirement.

Re: Talking Point: Did You Play Epic's Ill-Fated Gears Of War Spinoff On Xbox 360?
I enjoyed it well enough. It was fun but It felt like filler to wait for the Xbox one era. As did the prequel of god of war on PS3 the same year tbh.

Re: Forza Dev Confirms Horizon 4 Won't Be Delisted Anytime Soon
They probably reupped all the licenses during the xbox series x versions so that certainly has to help
