No, as I currently have a Xbox Series X and a load of 360 and Xbox/Series X games on disc that I have and I also use my series X as a 4K/Blu-ray player.
I have been waiting for this game for months! Finally it's coming out, the FPS genre is my favourite and I have never played the original game so looking forward to this.
Bloody hell, my original wishlist was wiped about 4 days ago so I grudgingly created a new one and now that has gone accept for some reason one game which I OWN. Microsoft, SORT YOUR S**** OUT. I am not doing another one.
If Nintendo and Microsoft had to respond to silly and stupid rumours they would have to make press statements every other day which would be ridiculous.
As long as Microsoft continues to make and sell consoles, I will continue to buy them as it is the only console I own due to financial constraints and I am quite happy to do so.
Play it nearly every day to collect/win all the cars I don't yet have. Still think Forza Horizon 4 is better but 5 is still excellent. Looking forward to 6 and set in Japan or China maybe?
I am playing the the Resident Evil 2 Remake for the first time and I must admit I found the game a bit of a struggle at first not much ammo and even the vanilla zombies were hard to beat. Completed the game last week and I am now playing through the game with Claire.
Play a campaign every 12 months and currently playing through Halo 4 on Heroic. I have the collection installed all the time on a Samsung T7 SSD 1 TB Drive and the whole collection looks and plays lovely on my Series X.
I highly recommend both the collection and the SSD Drive to anyone who don't yet have them.
@themightyant Same here I have a massive list of games that I want but I only buy when they are on sale in the Microsoft store months sometimes years after they were originally released.
The retailers know something we do not. This always happens when hardware is approaching the beginning of the end of it's life. I think new hardware that we don't quite know about will be released in the next 18 months or so.
I really wish Golden Axe would have been in 2D. It is a hard pass for me. Obviously looking forward to the new Jet Set Radio and hopefully they will remake/ remaster Skies Of Arcadia soon.
@Dan1283 Maybe some are? Not sure myself maybe the old ones aren't? A 4k resolution boost would be excellent as I have a Samsung QLED but I understand not everybody plays at 4k resolution or cares LOL.
@Lightning720 I can't remember the last time I bought a game on disc brand new from Amazon or second hand from CEX as I now buy my games digitally when they are on sale. I do however, have dozens and dozens of games on disc that if Microsoft go all digital in the future I will never be able to play again. Hopefully Microsoft will offer consumers the option of disc drive add on.
@Lightning720 I just hope this doesn't mean Microsoft will go all digital in the future, but I guess many people will say this is inevitable and "progress."
Interested in the controller but that's it. Still find it difficult to believe Microsoft would not release a pro version of the Series X if and when Sony release the rumoured Playstation 5 Pro. I have a Series X so why would I be interested in a disc less version of the console?
I have Forza Horizon 5 and tried playing the game at 30FPS and just couldn't do it. The difference between playing FH5 at 30FPS and 60FPS is to me night and day.
If and when Microsoft release a Series X Pro and a Series X 2 they should release each with a disc drive and without, let the market decide. As for would I buy a digital only Series X? No, as I use my Series X as a Blu ray player and my large collection of game discs.
I know wired controllers are not for everybody, but I have a Power A Fusion Pro 2 and it's excellent. Really comfortable with rubber grips and and no lag and I don't have to change batteries.
I have tried playing Dishonored 2 and I hated every minute of it, just do not like the gameplay at all. Played Prey 3 years ago and while it took me a bit to get into it, once I did loved it.
Nope. Microsoft need to stop pussyfooting around and start being ultra aggressive when it comes to exclusive content and creating new IP. Easier said than done of course.
Unfortunately money is tight for me at the moment so I will comment on how the game is in about 2 years when I get it on sale. Fortunately I have a large back catalogue! Resident Evil 4 Wii edition is one of my favourite games of all time and probably the definitive version of the original game.

Re: Forza Motorsport Hands-On Previews Expected To Arrive Well Before Launch
Microsoft needs to in the future, stagger their big releases better than they do at the moment.
Re: Forza Motorsport Xbox Series X Footage Looks Mighty Impressive
Maybe it's the video quality but this game doesn't much better than Forza Motorsport 7 which will be 6 years old in October.
Maybe the visuals look a bit brighter and colourful. Don't really care as I love 7 and no doubt will love this too.

If and when Microsoft release a Series X Pro and a Series X 2 they should release each with a disc drive and without, let the market decide.

No, as I use my Series X as a Blu ray player and my large collection of game discs.
