A really weird response... We know what we have done bloody sucks... so why the hell did you do it? 😆

I don't care about early access and also season pass (it is very rare that I find the content worth the asking price). I will play day one on GP and if I love the game I will end up buying the physical copy when cheap

@S1ayeR74 not an option my Microsoft, only the CMA itself could do that. In the end it looks like they had a change of mind and agreed to reopen the case and asked MS to halt the process at the CAT

@S1ayeR74 MS could not negotiate directly with the CMA due to their decision to issue a formal blockage of the deal. Their only legal option available was to appeal to the CAT.

@Solidchief that is a game I dismissed for "not really a game" but it was the first game I played this year (as it was on GP) and I loved it. People shouldn't sleep on it.

The options are a bit limited on this one. I played the campaign when it was free to grab at EGS and it is good enough (IV is easily my favourite in the series) and I never touched multiplayer...

@Spaceman-Spiff I would give it a go. I love GTA games (playing the series since the OG back in the 90's) and never cared much about the open world part of it and you can completly ignoring it apart from driving to each mission if you prefer and just do the story parts. While I much prefer GTA IV characters and story V is still very enjoyable.

Really looking forward to this as altough I played a hell off Goldeneye, I never even heard of Perfect Dark until the last decade at the most. Also I had a blast replaying Goldeneye's campaign early on the year and as everyone says this is even better!

@Moonglow "Redfall was expected to be the start of the console push, but it flopped. Motorsports, Starfield, Hellblade 2 and Avowed will drive sales, and they are all coming within the next 12 months;"

I would change that to 18months to be on the safe side. I expect at least avowed if not both to release in the second half of 2024

If it comes to GP at some point I will try it but what I have seen does not make me buying it individually

Nothing new in here. Many insiders have said the same for ages.

Did not bother to watch. Ubisoft Open worlds bore me to death and I got to a point I don't even try them anymore. Prince of persia looked dope the other day though and I will give it a go at some point.

@Sol4ris it is more that there is too much they want but they don't want to say it

Nor surprised as it is common for Bethesda. I would prefer 1080p 60fps but not a deal breaker as it is not a first person shooter only game

@rustyduck Phill didn't say it was going to be mentioned at the showcase but that it was going to be clear. It is way too soon to call him a liar. The problem with redfall is that all footage prior to release (and even game previews) were at 60fps. I wouldn't be surprised if what we have seen so far from starfield is at 30fps

That was bloody fantastic. Probably my favourite direct style presentation ever. What a difference it makes to have game after game after game instead of having Geoff talking in between segments or having interviews.

Also starfield has game of the year material written all over it altough it will be a hard fight against TotK (critics' darling)

@DeathEgg yep, the dodge is the part I struggled a little bit. Couldn't find if there is a fat roll or not. Regardless I like what I have seen.

I will play it for sure!

Fingers cross that they deliver as they (and we) really need a win!

What a bunch of whiners... The game looks awesome!

I have mixed feelings on this one. I definitely prefer the pixel artstyle but I am not against this one. However I am afraid that they could ruin the gameplay (like they did in generations which for me is Unplayable on 2d sections). If it is not frame by frame like mega drive style get the hell out. Lastly the pricetag is not correct unless they have a LOT of content

This is quite a win for Xbox in going for wider range on Gamepass. I tried P3P after P5R but bounced back after a few hours. This one feels a lot bit too much of the same but I definitely need a big revamp (as I am already not a fan of SMT). Tactics is also not my thing but if it is more on the Mario rabbids style and less fire emblem/xcom, I will give it a go

Did not watch it live so could skip every interview which make it bearable. The show would be a ton better if Geoff would not show his face and just put trailer after trailer...

Not interested I fighters but I will play Diablo IV down the line. Hopefully on GP but if not i will buy a physical copy at certain point

Tears of the Kingdom is in the past since last weekend. I am now doing a first playthrough of Halo: combat evolved as part of the game club and Horizon zero dawn on PC.

@BrilliantBill well I mentioned that. In my opinion after this teaser they need to show the new game (gameplay is preferable), if on top of that they announce/shadow drop a remaster and/or trilogy pack that is awesome but if they only show the latter it will be another day of Xbox is dying on Twitter ..

@Tharsman remasters would be the most underwhelming announcement ever if they don't show the new project after 2 years of waiting lol

It also does not help that Zelda is keeping everyone busy but no 60fps, level design, Enemy AI and above all co-op with progression only to the host (this is just the stranger decisions ever) will ensure this game is forgot completly

A developer owned by Microsoft will release games for game pass. Wow that is a surprise .

P.s: I doubt this is a clue about something being show in the next showcase but just saying we are working on something that we will show in due course

That is quite the burn on CMA lol

@TakeItEasy ok , I missed that. let's hope they managed to work on it

Ups, I was actually hoping for this to be a surprise AA bit (altough it never looked fantastic)

@TakeItEasy the showcase has to be more than what we already know. I would like to see something from the many projects for next 18months (avowed, perfect Dark, contrabando, Gears, etc). Stalker 2 I doubt it will be anytinme soon as the Dev is from Ukraine...

I played it for the first time last year (MGS HD Collection) but most likely is a day one buy for me. It is an absolute masterpiece!!

Nice W from Xbox. Good to see it for a change (as hifi rush feels like it was in other year already...). Let's hope the momentum is kept to the showcase where I really hope they do better than today's presentation (the bar is not high at all)

@Tharsman regarding Mega drive is not an UK thing but PAL regions overall as nintendo does not well particularly well compared to us and Japan. Also europe is the land where grammas call consoles a PlayStation...

I started the Gamepass Journey there as at the time I was mostly playing on PC. However since I bought the series X I have not played much (but I did play and loved Death Stranding). It is ok if nothing spetacular. It is a shame that there are still a lot of games that are not available on PC (some outside GP)

Wow that is a long list of notes! Has the game daily user base increase since forge? I am not into multiplayer games but interested to know if we have another sea of thieves here ...

After Gears of War being chosen for April's game club I ended playing the full trilogy. However I would like to have a physical copy with it regardless.

Trying to finish Kingdom hearts 1.5 + 2.5 before Zelda... Only missing Aqua's playthrough of birth by sleep and the cutscenes of the last game in the Collection.

Good to see them patching it but now that I returned my copy as I saw the bad performance in the media I will wait for a half pricetag...

My physical copy arrived yesterday (as I only preorder after reviews) and I decided to return it instead as I don't want to pay 68€ (after 15% off) for a buggy mess. I will come back later for a better game (and pricetag)

One day I will understand why devs add as standard input lag... Today is not that day.

I was going to wait for the 60fps Patch but now I am not sure I will play it at all...

Trying to finish Kingdom hearts 2 before my copy of jedi survivor arrives

Wow finally a good month! I loved the first back in the day and allways wanted to try the second.

@FenIsMightier in europe for some reason is nearly impossible to find a series X (while in 2021 and early 2022 was easy instead). It is really strange.

Finished Ghostwire Tokyo yesterday with I liked quite a bit and I am now back to Kingdom hearts 2 after a few weeks of pause

@Tharsman they can work semi-independently on a daily basis in terms of managing resources and projecta but they should have close to no say regarding on where and how things are to be published and the expectations in engagement/profit

@Tharsman well the only one that should care about how much money did is Microsoft because it is the one paying the bills .
