I'll be surprised if I don't end up with both!

I buy all my games physical - so I hope at the very least they have detachable drive. I honesty won't be surprised of any outcome at this point, I'm just happy they're going to make another Xbox, I like the PS5 (for the exclusives) but the UX/UI and features on Xbox (I'm looking at your quick resume) are SO much better.

So if its doing windows with an xbox interface, will I be able to download and use steam?

I never understood why the game awards happen in December. Why not do January, that way games that come out late November/early December would be considered.

It really depends on the week and how much I’m playing. My Sonos surround sound system and LG C1 tend to interact strangely and have some start up issues with the Xbox when in shutdown mode.

This is a great patch but I’m disappointed (unless I missed it in all those notes) they are making any improvements to PVP match making. Thats been such a pain for me and my friends trying to play game together.

Oh my gosh, the high moon studios Transformers games were SO GOOD!

Phil, if you’re reading this….just make it clear all very clear and no one will be upset.

I have so many fond memories of having a bunch of friends over and playing split screen for hours. It would be amazing if this game got backward compatibility support.

He must have skipped the insomniac Spider-man games.

I'll buy a new Xbox if it's more powerful than the current offerings like what the X1X so like an XSX Pro or whatever they end up calling it.

Does a skin/mod like that disable achievements?

@GamingFan4Lyf thanks for explaining! I will absolutely play this with my headphones now.

Is this going to be a digital only game?

Trailer got me, time to visit halo again.

I’m usually jumping between a main game and 3 sub games that are easy to play in bite size times

So long as I can still get a next XSX experience on my TV, I’m happy to have a hybrid consul. I just want high fidelity console gaming with quick resume. If it’s also a handsome, let’s ***** GOOOO!

This was a little that a little over my head when I was younger and I never played it. I’m definitely interested in a remake!

I’d change a few things, but it’s so much better than the PS5 UX/UI. Everyone time I play something in my PS5, I’m annoyed that is doesn’t have quick resume among other things.

That’s a high price point for an all digital X. My guess is it comes with 3TB of internal storage.

I live in the US and feel like Xbox doesn’t advertise nearly as much as PlayStation and that’s a contributing reason for lower sales here.

I have the 2TB expansion card and a 4TB SSD connected via USB. So I’ve got tones of storage and also delete games when I’m done or if I haven’t played them in a long awhile.
I love having older games saved on my external drive, being able to jump into some perverse gen of classic game when I feel like it is very nice.

I think I’m using 3.5TB of my 7TB of storage.

And that thinking lets to the horribly handled launch of the Xbox one. Make a lot more sense with that context. Never make decisions out of fear!!!

@Artois2 right!! That haven’t don’t a single meaningful thing with the service since it came out.
They’ve been around long enough that they should be on par with what google stadia was doing, but xcloud remains lackluster.

I love this for them. Can’t wait to see Control 2, Remedy is such a great studio. I just hope they don’t go full digital for the control series.

@FatalBubbles What has been talked about over the last 3 years?! There hasn't been anything to talk about for the last 3 years. The reveal trailer came out 3 years ago and nothing else until the direct days ago. The lighting looks a little different, I'll give you that, but it's pretty flipping spot-on from that reveal trailer.

Honestly, I don’t expect it. But I definitely will always buy a device that takes physical media vs digital only

@FatalBubbles what are you smoking, I want some!!! It looks exactly like the reveal trailer 😂

Now more than ever I’m buying physical copies of films and games. I want to own my library and take it offline anytime I choose.

I would love to see some quality of life improvements. Stuff like Dolby Atmos being fixed so we’re able to use it without a massive delay.

I’m still rather confused at how this is an Xbox problem… Non of my games have save issues. In fact, the only game I can think of that gave me any issues was Hades, it wasn’t really a save issue - it was achievements. They wouldn’t unlock. That was around when the game was on gamepass. Maybe it’s better now, but that was really annoying lol

Anyways, if someone can shed some light on the save data issue, would appreciate it.

Haters gonna hate.

It's shocking to me that the PS5 is selling that much more. I have all the systems, the only things I play on my PS5 are the console exclusives. The Xbox is SO much better for UX & UI, I play all third-party games on it and consequently, most of my gaming time is on the XSX. Every time I turn on my PS5 and have to reload into a game (even though it's very fast...) it's painfully annoying not having something like quick resume on it.

This just goes to show you, most people buy systems blindly and don't look at features...and of course, for the exclusives 🫠

Not having city maps from the jump was a mistake. It’s crazy they’ve waited this long and only just announced it.

Blade for wolverine, seems like fair trade lol

I can’t seem to find much info on Dune, does anyone know if it will support mouse/keyboard?

This is such a killer deal. I almost wish I didn't have one so I could take advantage!

This sucks. I haven’t had to pay for game pass in a long while because of the rewards, sooner or later this isn’t going be worth it.

I was planning on getting this game as I enjoyed the first and American nightmare a lot, but as it stands with being digital only, I’m not going to get it. I’ll wait for a deep discount in the sub $20 range sometime next year.

I wonder what the sales numbers were for each platform.

How is it they don’t count digital sales for consoles but PC is usually 100% digital sales…?!

This is great. The game will be running even better when I do my second play through someday.

I haven’t stopped playing it yet. Having so much fun exploring everything the game has to offer. It’s clearly not perfect, but it’s absolutely a top 3 game of the year for me.

Oh man, I wish the quality of life updates they talked about were in this update. Guess we gotta wait a little longer.

Does a driving sim have mass appeal?? I was a little interested, mostly because it was coming to gamepas, not because I actually like driving sim games lol

I'd like to see sales numbers for this game some day. I feel most people don't care about a dice rolling, turn based RPG. Well made or not. Clearly loved by critics and a success story, but it doesn't have mass appeal.

This is partly why Nintendo is so successful. Low price points matter. I know SOOOOO many people that got the PS5 and the XSS.
Bet me the play time numbers are more switched. XSX players probably play 65% more than XSS owners.

Tried Skyrim so many times on different gens but couldn’t get into it. The closest I’ve ever gotten into a Bethesda game was fallout 4 and I didn’t actually like it that much, so didn’t put much time into.

I’m close to 100 hours into Starfield and I feel like the game still has so much to offer. I’ll be praying it for a while.

Sooooo my answer is Starfield.

Is IGN trying to take a peace of digital foundry’s pie??

I work in the TV/Film industry, so since the strike started I probably average close to 30 hours a week. Sorta depends. I still do freelance work here and there so on a busy week I’d maybe get 15 and on a not as busy week, 20. Just depends. Most weeks I’m not working and I’ll dump 30 hours into games easily.

I’ve had the game crash a few time when using fast travel in new Atlantis and one or two loading screens that took a little longer than normal when jumping from a big city to a big city. Apart from that, everything else has been perfectly smooth and I’ve had the game on quick resume since early access started!
