Well the back compat sales on Xbox continue for a second week now and I just bought Lego Indiana Jones 1, Lego Star Wars The Complete Saga, Star Wars The Force Unleashed II and Split/Second for €15 in total.
The BC sale seems to be pretty popular - I've picked up Mini Ninjas, Lost Planet 3, Guwange, Asura's Wrath, Splinter Cell Double Agent, Sonic & Sega All-Stars Transformed, LEGO Indiana Jones 2 & LEGO Star Wars the Complete Saga. Also picked up Batman Return to Arkham in the regular sale.
@PhhhCough ps5 does not support 1440p resolution. Only 1080p and 4k. Apart from that it is your own preference. Imo frame rate is allways more important than visuals but bear in mind most games run at 30fps if you go for fidelity mode
New sale this week but sadly not as many compelling BC games this time around. Anyway, I decided to get Prince of Persia Classic and Prince of Persia The Sands of Time. I've already bought pretty much all Prince of Persia titles but I haven't gotten the first ones until now. I purposely avoided buying The Sands of Time because there's a remake of that game coming, but it doesn't look like it'll be coming out any time soon and I'm sick of having so many Prince of Persia games in my backlog that I can't play because I don't have the first game. So for €4 I might as well just play the first game as soon as possible so that I can eventually get to the sequels.
Saw one of those 20th Anniversary Series X/S controllers at Target and decided to get it. A little pricey but seems to be a very limited item so it was worth it. As a collector I like to have items such as these.
@Balta666 so I just saw this on the uncharted thieves legacy page "4K-TV players will experience a 4K resolution upscaled from a 1440p base resolution"
But it can't output 1440p natively? Are we waiting for ps to enable it?
@PhhhCough not really to be honest. That just means the port cannot achieve true 4k and the maximum res is 1440p but you still allways have it upscaled. I believe Sony simply does not care about that resolution because it is not common on TVs but on monitors
As I was playing Forza Motorsport 6 today, I was thinking that I'm nearing the end of this series and there aren't many Xbox racing games left for me to play. Then I remembered that I actually have several Xbox racers on original Xbox and Xbox 360 that I bought several years ago, put away because I wasn't in the mood for racing games at the time and completely forgotten about.
So while these aren't purchases, I've added the first Forza Motorsport as well as Project Gotham Racing 1-4 (yes all of them!) back to my backlog. I'm so glad that I bought these games back in the day since now I got tons more racing games to play on Xbox.
I bought metal gear rising and Deus ex human revolution last week. I have only played a few bits of of MGS Over the years and I am now collecting all games. Unfortunatelly my copy of the twiin snakes on GC has gone bad so I cannot start the series yet. Also never played a Deus Ex game so let's see how that goes
@Royalblues I think Sony's first-party studios have some of the most talented people in the gaming industry since they're so good at optimising their titles on PlayStation. The fact that you can play Forbidden West on a base PS4 from 2013 is crazy to me and that would've only been possible with developers like Guerrilla. I doubt anyone from Microsoft's first-party studios would be able to accomplish a feat like that. Not even Nintendo's studios would be able to do that. I mean, just look at Breath of the Wild. It had frame rate issues day one on Wii U and while they did improve it significantly with a patch afterwards, the game just runs better overall on the newer hardware, i.e. the Switch. And if you look at studios like 343, they can barely handle one version of a game at a time. PlayStation devs rule in terms of talent and expertise.
But to answer your question (which I kinda did anyway), yes. If Guerrilla is able to release Forbidden West on a base PS4, I'm sure they'd be able to optimise the game for Series X with minimal issues.
Probably Tony Hawk Pro Skater 4 for original Xbox (got last month). For the 360, probably Tony Hawk's Project 8 or Project Gotham Racing 4 (both 2021), and for the Xbox One, probably either Monster Hunter World with Iceborn or Red Dead Redemption 2 (both 2020)
