"First, please use AI to bring back Kinect's Milo. I'll listen after that

As a result of stopping the creation of exciting games that could push hardware to its limits, it has become a place with no appeal. However, the fact that Xbox’s first-party games have become boring is an even more serious problem.

I want Sonic Racing Cross World to be added.

The campaign’s content is truly terrible. It’s unbelievable that it’s supposed to share the same world setting as BO2—if anything, the atmosphere feels more like Control or Quantum Break.

In my country, the PS5 is cheaper than the Xbox Series S. There’s hardly any reason left to buy an Xbox console anymore.

I play on both. I'm really frustrated that Sonic Racing Cross World, which I've been hooked on lately, doesn't support Xbox Play Anywhere.

I played it solo from start to finish, and it was shockingly bad. Since I heard the protagonist was returning, I replayed CoD: BO1 and CoD: BO2 beforehand, but without a doubt, the Xbox 360-era campaigns were far superior.

It felt like a shallow sci-fi game with no sense of reality, more like something in the vein of Control. It’s hard to believe this is the same series that once depicted the bloody battles of the Cold War. Enemy character models were reused so often that it looked cheap—something unimaginable compared to past entries where each scene had its own assets.

I actually enjoyed the campaign of CoD: BO6 to some extent, so this was honestly quite a shock. Activision needs to remember the right direction.

@HonestHick I agree with your opinion. It looks far too profit-driven, as if they’re just trying to cash in by copying a game once it sells. And since all the ambitious developers are gone, no matter how much money is poured into a game, it ends up being soulless.

I can’t help but wonder why Xbox and other game companies don’t try to do what Nintendo does. Instead of only investing in games that are guaranteed to sell, if they invested in a wider variety of titles, they could reach a broader range of gamers.

If you cherish the brand, families across generations can share memories and talk about those games together.

Xbox has so many great IPs, yet they’re not being utilized. Even if a title isn’t a mega-hit, it can still be an important reason for someone to buy an Xbox. Not everyone buys a Switch just for Pokémon—some people love Pikmin, others love Kirby, and that’s why they buy it. Xbox needs to value its IPs in the same way.

I miss the days when the Xbox team during the Xbox 360 era was trying to make fun games. Now it feels like the place has turned into one where politically correct hires make politically correct games. I liked games like Gears of War, where guys would throw around ridiculous jokes with each other…

@JayJ I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who feels this way. I never thought the day would come when the Xbox One generation would be considered a good era. I do think Game Pass is a fantastic service, but I really hope the first-party game studios go back to prioritizing entertainment the way they used to.

They keep making highly political games because they care so much about critics and public opinion, yet they don’t get chosen…

I don’t think they even want to sell the Xbox Series X|S. They don’t advertise it, they only raise the price. PC Game Pass is cheaper and clearly favored by Microsoft, making the console feel like a system where you don’t even know why you’re playing on it.

EA should have made Sim City now.

I supported Kinect, the game-focused stance of the Xbox One X, and even Mixed Reality and Windows Phone. However, I don’t really like the current approach Xbox is taking toward games. It’s all about studio closures, canceled projects, price hikes, and endless talk of AI. Even the few games that finally get released don’t generate any buzz, and when I play them, all I feel are political messages that prevent me from immersing myself in their worlds.

After replaying CoD BO1 and BO2, I tried the campaign of CoD BO7. It was terrible. The world and characters they had built up until now have collapsed, and it has turned into a game where you fight strange aliens. Just like with Halo and Gears, for some reason the masculine, war-themed characters are being increasingly neglected.

They are definitely making new hardware. However, the current Xbox Series X|S has been almost abandoned. This can be considered the era in Xbox history where the least effort has been put into hardware.

Halo 4 was an ambitious project and one of the most visually stunning games on the Xbox 360. However, I didn’t like the idea of unraveling the Forerunners. Around this time, the series also began paying unusual attention to the depiction of women, which I felt diminished its military tone.

I thought the maps, characters, and story were terrible. However, the action was fun.

Are they learning why Dragon Age failed?

“His games were full of imagination and always let us try something new. The games in today’s video game need him.”

I wanted it to be reinterpreted like FF7 Remake.
Halo CE has far too many reused maps and tedious sections.

This is really interesting. It feels like a true successor to Ninja Gaiden 1 and 2, and the new systems are excellent. On the other hand, the only thing that concerns me is that the new character designs don’t quite have the usual Team Ninja feel.

I don't like the unstable network connection with smartphones.
Can't we at least make it work with a webcam?

@wildcat_kickz Xbox Play Anywhere

Since the price has nearly doubled, a double Day One title is justified.
Of course, games of Call of Duty caliber should also double.

Only a title with a new political meaning will appear on Day One.

I'll always hope for the return of Perfect Dark...

The developers of ReCore also stated in a Japanese interview that they hoped players would appreciate the fact that the game could be played all the way through on release day. It seems the development time was truly short.

@Jenkinss The new avatar system is not from Rare. It's from Microsoft.

Instead of incorporating prosthetic arms or wheelchairs, they created avatars that can't be used in the game!!

I was surprised by how they translated it in such an astonishing way.
Only the cutscenes have dubbed audio.
During gameplay, it seems they found it too much trouble, so it's subtitles only.

Apparently, reusing the Xbox 360 audio data is quite a hassle.
Still, considering the Ultimate Edition wasn't translated at all, this is a significant step forward.

Now is the time to revive “Diddy Kong Racing.” Xbox owns the rights to characters other than Diddy.

They have yet to make an official announcement regarding the studio closure or development suspension. The only source of information is the leaked email.

Will Xbox Wire not disclose the information?

“Shredders Revenge” was entertaining, but the subsequent works appear to be inferior imitations that merely capitalize on its popularity.

It's convenient, but I wanted the option to choose the Xbox One version.
There are many games I want to play on the Xbox One X version to save storage space. For example, Puyo Puyo Tetris 2.

I haven't played either the first or second games because they haven't been translated.
I'm very interested in them, so I hope they will be translated.

They raised the price of the game hardware and did not advertise it at all.
There was no way the hardware would sell.

I enjoyed all the titles, but Halo 5: Guardians was the most ambitious. The marketing and story were a bit off, but the multiplayer—especially a year after release—was definitely solid. If we're including the campaign, then I'd say Halo 3.

Rumors about Banjo and Kazooie come up every year. Yes, really every year. Has it ever come true?

The Forza Motorsport series was a really good game. It stumbled with microtransactions in 7, and I didn't really understand the new Forza. It's too late to improve it with updates. It's really disappointing.

The reason I bought an Xbox was because of Perfect Dark Zero. It may be time to move on.

When examining the leadership of recent games developed by Xbox, it is often surprising to find that individuals with little to no track record are in leadership positions.
In fact, it is not uncommon for their subordinates to be more experienced.
This is clearly an inappropriate personnel decision, and most of these games have failed.
Let us put an end to this peculiar culture. Please focus on creating quality games.

Turn10 has clearly been acting strange lately. I want to believe that downsizing isn't necessarily a bad thing.

They destroyed gaming culture by investing in what they thought was politically correct. The recent Xbox Game Studios lineup is terrible. (Bethesda, Activision Blizzard, and Obsidian Entertainment are great, though.)

Turn 10 was the best studio until Forza Motorsport 6, and Forza Motorsport 7 was a decent game.

The latest Forza didn't feel like it had any love for the game at least at the time of release.

Will Quake Wars make a comeback?

PlayStation Plus offers a rich library of classic games—something only possible with its long history. Of course, when it comes to retro gaming, one could argue that Nintendo Switch Online is even more lavish. Still, there are many titles you’ll only find on PS Plus. Xbox Game Pass, on the other hand, feels like a different kind of service altogether, since it focuses on offering access to the latest titles.

I haven't seen Xbox being sold as new in stores for several years, nor have I seen any advertisements for it.

Although it hasn't withdrawn from the market, I don't think it has any presence outside the US.

It was a show where Obsidian Entertainment was the only one putting in any effort.

Where have all the first-party games that have symbolized Xbox since its inception gone?

Please perform the cross-play update. It is absolutely necessary.

As a result of their continued disregard for Xbox users, some Xbox users have developed a distaste for the brand.

Who would be interested in purchasing a downgraded version at full price at this point?
