@AtlanteanMan On a similar note I would like to see randomly generated skyline and cloud formations. Kind of sick of seeing the same skies and clouds all the time, but maybe that is not possible with current tech.
If and when Microsoft do a mid gen upgrade Series X Pro they will probably announce a number of titles that will get a resolusion / framerate boost. Depending on what those games will be I would be willing to upgrade.
What a cluster**** the Halo Infinite development has been. Nothing more to say really. I love the Halo games too. How long before a new single player game? Years probably.
Goldeneye of course, what else? I still remember reading a lot of previews/reviews of the game before it came out. The gaming magazines raved about the game and i remember being very skeptical looking at the screenshots and having never played a 3D FPS before. I thought it can't be that good...how wrong i was!!!
Slightly disappointed the game isn't 60FPS, but cannot really complain as it's free if you have game pass or RR. Will play it fully when it has achievements working.
Currently playing it on my Xbox Series X and while at first was not that impressed with the game, over the last few weeks began to like it more and more. Love the atmosphere, the art style and the graphical effects. Really looking forward to the sequel, great news. 😊😊😊
Will play through the campaign again in November in HDR for the first time when i get a OLED/QLED as i love the gameplay even though the visual style is a bit bland. Look forward to future DLC whenever that will be.
@k3lt0n Nostalgia is powerful your right but i really don't know why. It's weird but when it comes to games, nostalgia is more distinct to me than other mediums like film or music. As you say the QOL improvements get better with each FH game but for some reason or another i don't seem to be enjoying the game compared to past iterations. Maybe the problem is me and i need a break from gaming.
Forza Horizon 5 is not as good as Forza Horizon 4 which in turn is not as good as Forza Horizon 3. Forza Horizon 3 is the best in the series. Sure, FH5 has better graphics and more cars, but i just find it less fun. As some have said before i think the series needs a break for a few years and Microsoft need to be brave and bring back the PGR series.
@After10Ben Everything is subjective but i call a spade a spade and this "entertainment product" is barely a game and has very little gameplay in the traditional sense of the word. For me gameplay was and always will be king and i don't care one iota about "characters" or "story" in games and never will. If i want to experience such things i watch a TV series/movie or read a book.
I only play single player games and if and when they are no longer made that is when my gaming hobby will come to an end. Thankfully i have a massive back catalogue of games i can replay and dozens of games on Xbox, Switch and Sony Playstation 4 and 5 i still have not got round to.
Maybe the next DLC after Hot Wheels could be in the style of Project Gotham Racing and they could call it Project Forza Racing. PGR 3 and 4 were great and i would love to see a PGR 5.
I wish they would add more achievements to the campaign as i don't play multi player. Always play through the HMCC campaigns every 6 months or so but have not touched Halo Infinite campaign since i competed it last December.
It look's hamstrung by it's budget. Cortana looks weird and it looks fan made in places, don't have Paramount+ which is probably a good thing. Ideally it would be a HBO production but maybe one day if it is successful it will have a big budget movie.

Will do, thanks for the heads up that's a no brainer!

I don't see much gameplay there.
Remember that, gameplay?
Re: Talking Point: Which Is The Best BioShock Game On Xbox?
There has never been a better time to play them, the first and think the second run at a silky smooth 60fps on Series X.
Re: Pick One: What's The Best Racing Series In Xbox History?
Forza Horizon is the best racing series, PGR4 is one of my favourite racers of all time, wish it was backward compatible.
Re: Unboxing Video Of White Xbox Elite Series 2 Controller Surfaces Online
I'm not gonna lie, that's a really pretty controller.
Out of my price range, story of my life.
Re: Single-Player Games Are 'Really, Really Important' To EA, Says CEO
I only play single player games and if and when they are no longer made that is when my gaming hobby will come to an end.
Thankfully i have a massive back catalogue of games i can replay and dozens of games on Xbox, Switch and Sony Playstation 4 and 5 i still have not got round to.

I got £4 Friday, though i did buy a Series X from a local Argos Thursday. Will buy a 42" OLED next year to complete my set up.
Re: Project Gotham Racing's Failed Reboot Helped Create Forza Horizon
Maybe the next DLC after Hot Wheels could be in the style of Project Gotham Racing and they could call it Project Forza Racing. PGR 3 and 4 were great and i would love to see a PGR 5.
Re: The Callisto Protocol Debuts Stunning New Trailer, Coming To Xbox December 2022
You wait years for a Dead Space and then two come along at the same time, not complaining though.
Re: Street Fighter 6 Punches Its Way To Xbox Series X|S In 2023

Re: 343 On Halo Infinite S2: 'Please Keep The Constructive Feedback Coming'
