@scoobdoo The monsters are a danger to the Ecosystem and that's why you hunt them. Canon wise you're never hunting them in the numbers you the player commits.
@Banjo- Big and better then ever yet Halo is coming to PS5 and Switch 2 and the Series consoles have sold far worse then the X1 and Gamepass subs have ground to a halt.
@cragis0001 The PS5 outsold both Xbox and Switch combined last year. MS has waved the white flag and Halo will be on PS5 most likely Pro enhanced meaning it will look and play better on PS5 Pro then Series X. I bet Sony can't believe their luck they have no competition anymore.
@Prestige-worldwide It won't grow because most people like owning games more then renting them. MS always have that "great line up" at the start of the year and nothing changes. Gamepass is not going to grow especially with the constant price hikes and downgrades it gets yearly now.
@IOI To be honest this is a great year for both PS and Xbox. Got to remember Death Stranding 2 and the new Ghost game are hitting PS5 this year and its all but confirmed the entire GoW Greek Saga will be getting a remaster this year to tie with the series anniversary. In fact throw in the Switch 2 and all 3 console makers are having a great line up for 2025.
@Prestige-worldwide Why would anyone buy an Xbox next gen when all of Xbox 1st party games will be on PS6? You say Gamepass but here's the thing this Gen has proving Gamepass isn't actually that big and doesn't sell consoles. There's no real reason to own a Xbox anymore when all of its games will be on PS6 and Switch 2. MS are going to become the next Sega and that sucks for everyone.
Its madness that Halo is all but confirmed for PS5. MS and Phil can spin it all they want but the fact they have been reduced to putting Halo on Playstation is an utter failure on how MS/Phil has handled Xbox. Imagine if Nintendo out Mario on Playstation/Xbox? Yeah very hard to imagine.
@fatpunkslim Dude nothing is exclusive for Xbox anymore and the next Xbox will be the last Xbox as MS will become Sega 2.0. Everything you listed will hit PS5 and Switch 2 sooner or later.
@fatpunkslim Forspoken isn't hasn't been announced for Xbox nor has Nioh. P3 Reloaded and MGS Collection were never exclusive to PS, Crash 4 again never exclusive. Like so much misinformation with your post. Also there's a difference between 2nd and 3rd party games and actual 1st party games and its why God of War will never come over and why Xbox fans aren't happy Halo will no doubt hit PS5.
@GeeForce Sure but Sony have always outsold even with that massive head start the 360 had. Prime comes out next year but MS have little for it because while they have moved into next gen no one else actually has, basically the Prime is a PS5 Pro with a better CPU until Sony release the PS6 that will be more powerful, maybe cheaper if MS price too high and would have learned from whatever the Prime offers. MS will get a small boost early on but as soon as the PS6 drops well that's it the industry moves and Prime is yesterdays news as the "real" next gen console has arrived.
I like the name if they go with that. I do think it will be the last real console MS make and releasing a console before Sony has always be a questionable move that rarely pays off i mean just ask Sega.
@DannZan I mean its logic right? If the PS5 and Pro struggle with it why would the Series S fair any better?
Want to know what the real issue is? The Devs have sod all experience with consoles, this was the first console game they ever made and it very much shows like with the sheer abuse of frame gen and other weird choices. A better more experienced team could most likely get far better visuals and at a real 60fps but these Devs are clearly still learning. Finally they're using an outdated version of Unreal 5 so that doesn't help either.
@DannZan Every game Sony published last year got tons of marketing, Rebirth even got tons of Sony marketing despite SE publishing it. Sony market the games they put money into because of course they would and they wouldn't have IGN China reveal the first PS5 footage of it a day before release. As the Devs have confirmed the issue is the Series S, the PS5 version struggles and has to fake 60fps on it even on the Pro so why do you think the SS version should be fine when the most powerful console ever has issues with it?
@FraserG If Sony had a deal with the devs then the PS5 version wouldn't be so bad and the Pro update wouldn't be so lackluster. The lack of marketing from Sony also kills the timed deal idea as well.
@TonySloth MS can't afford not to release on PS. Gamepass and $69B buyouts have put MS in position when they need Playstation more then Playstation needs them. Yeah sure keep COD off PS but good luck making back a fraction of the money it was making going forward.
@Banjo- Exclusivity fanboy? Yeah because Stalker 2 released on PS5 alongside Xbox and wasn't timed at all right? Fun fact Xbox has had more timed deals this gen then Playstation and they have more to come like ARK 2.
They really should have delayed this till next year. The game sounds and looks excellent when it actually works so its a shame its techinal state is so dire.
So i guess MS paid for Xbox players to beta test the game for PS5 players next year 😕 Yeah look i get the Devs have and are going through hell and its a miracle the game exists but its still a full price release and they could have delayed it. I was tempted to download the SS version but i might as well wait now till the PS5 version as the game is clearly very unfinished.
Why are updates so big on Xbox? I know this isn't on PS5 yet but when updates are rolled out for games on both consoles almost always the updates are far bigger on Xbox.
Hope Xbox players enjoy the game as for me its one of the best games of last gen and the DC version was pretty sweet as well. I'm guessing the sequel will be a timed release on PS5 so it will no doubt hit Xbox at some point.
@Secryt I mean its not exclusive to GP its a premium full price game that is also part of a sub to Gamepass. Yeah shocker Bethesda do big expansions for their games.
Looks fantastic and is exactly what the game needs. I bought the premium version at launch so i was getting this no matter but now i'm really excited for it.
@Scirius Good chance you were getting a false reading. I had a debate with a guy today who was convinced RDR2 was 60fps on PS5 and he even provided me a pic of his TV telling him that but well we all know PS5 or Series RDR2 is locked sadly at 30fps. DF tried out the mod and they basically advised not to use it.
It looks cool but the planets are so small that i don't see the point. NMS needed transport because the planets are massive to the point it would take real life actual days to explore them but Starfield it takes minutes on foot to explore them.

Dude by your logic Avatar is greatest film ever made.
Re: Xbox Fails To Make GOTY List, But Still Gets 11 Nominations For The Game Awards 2024
@GeorgeKal By this logic Avatar 1/2, Avengers Endgame, Titanic and SW The Force Awakens are the best films ever made then.

@fizban3332 I mean Rebirth is not really a typical remake considering how vastly different it is to the OG FF7 in gameplay, visuals and structure.
