@HonestHick @OldGamer999
Likely what you will see is what they already did with Gamepass from Gold.

A new Gamepass tier will be added. GPU+COD or something succiently named like that.

It'll be a more expensive package. And likely have something similar to where you could trade so many months of Gold for GPU, you will trade so many months of GPU for GPU+COD.

4 player split screen zombies or bust.

Does firefight still crash with 4 player split screen?

If so I'll just stick to real COD zombies.

@BigBobEnerG Couldn't disagree more. I took a break after 250 hours because of absolutely how much there was to do. I burned myself out chasing every new thing I found. Never eveven went through the first playthrough despite all those hours. And that is with only having finished 2 factions.

@NEStalgia I'm know it was a joke. But this is something so misquoted it hurts.

The games ran at 60hz, matching the refresh of CRTs so you pretty much never had screen tearing. But not always 60fps. And less so as you moved from the Nes to the SNEs then to the N64.

Quite a few games even rendered into to 10s. 3D games running at 60fps, on consoles in the 90s, was extremely uncommon as well.

When it came to 2D games they were only 60fps by technicality. Due to the interlaced nature of the screen, it used even lines to draw one picture, and odds to draw another. Ultimately this either doubled the same frame, or have you two different frames at half the resolution. IE 640x240 instead of 640x480.

I still have a Panasonic Tau CRT that does 1080i and even has a HDMI input. I use retro consoles on it all the time and it is wild how much this gets misquoted.

Almost like 60FPS is important. We're not living in the 90s anymore.

Enslaved. Hands down.

Immediately bought it after playing the demo. The mocap and voice acting are what drew me in. And boy was it a fantastic ride.

One of the few games I'd buy a remaster of.

Exclusives like Halo and Mech Assault and Splinter Cell.

You know, games you don't get anymore. Or atleast good versions of.

I can't be hype until I know the release format.

Anything aside from a traditional buy and play release I have no interest

If they release it in any this rumored pay to play, or any of the other things, gonna be a huge skip from me.

@OldGamer999 I'd extend that so far as back to the beginning of the Xbox One days.

All it was was bad press, reversals, and no clear direction aside from "game box with XBL subscription".

The only direction they had was removing the Kinect(should have sold Kinect SKU only, and at $100 cheaper.)

Then putting out the One X to keep up with the Joneses.

Yearly CoDs without the yearly CoD price? Meanwhile still sporting season passes? CoD fans will eat that up.

If they add it to Gamepass day one, Gamepass subscriptions are gonna explode.

Such a shame. Had they added split screen I have bought it day one, even with it being on game pass.

Part of me wants to go ahead and buy it with how cheap it is, but when I've got split screen games like Cod BLOPS4 Zombie with 4 player split screen and Left 4 Dead 2 with two player split screen, almost feels like a waste

Remember when Ubisoft was good? Splinter Cell and real Ghost Recon and Rainbow Six. Even games like EndWar were a blast.

And the cross overs where'd you'd be playing jg one game and gear a character form another because it was a shared world.

Now we get whatever modern Ubisoft is.

@Lanmanna If you didn't read my comment, why did you respond? That's not what I said at all. 😂

@Tasuki I avoided COD fatigue thankfully.

Most of the time I just played the campaigns, I didn't do much online with it. Was always more a fan of the pace of Halo back in the day.

Then when Halo turned into CoD with Halo 4, Battlefield was all I played lol.

Black Ops 4. It is the last one with 4-player, split screen, zombies. We play it every week at my friend's house.

Been saying this since Satya axes Windows Phone despite grown, especially in places like India.

Satya simply wants Microsoft to be software only and is slowly gutting hardware.

Definitely check out SD Gundam Battle Alliance. Worth every penny of the purchase.

It is a great hack and slash with RPG elements with all kinds of mobile suits to use. Really good time.

Very solid game. Not the pinnacle of gaming imnd you. Then again no MMO.

It was essentially Skyrim Online the way it was built. Amazing community and people are always willing to help.

I just wish they added swimming underwater and things under it.

ESO has been my favorite MMO for some time now. Just wild how long it's been going on.

@Dimey Yea. 3 I atleast played back in the day. Never did give NV or 4 a playthrough though.

So far I am definitely giving NV an edge over 3. Pretty much improves on everything in 3.

60fps with VRR and 120hz it is then. I always just leave LFC on and I don't really see a reason to disable it here either.

I had a suspicion this would be the best way to play it on console.

Definitely will be checking out 40 and 60 when I get around to 4. Going through New Vegas at the moment.

Shame it was also treated like the step child and never got some of the updates that even 3 got

Still doesn't set right with me. Microsoft had a fantastic Japan based studio, just to shudder it pretty much after the ink dried in their next purchase.

@Dan1283 Y'all really confuse me with Spencer.

Y'all wanna worship Spencer when something good happens and demonish him when something negative happens.

When in actuality he is a just a managerial figure head with all decisions being made by a board.

@iplaygamesnstuff Spencer is the smoke and mirrors. Always has been. A friendly personality while the board behind the scenes makes the decision.

While he didn't directly fill the position, he is essentially Major Nelson's replacement with a manager title attached.

Definitely will check this out after my run of New Vegas.

Took a break from Starfield after about 250 hours because I was starting to get burned out. Seems like a good time to get back in.

@Legionari Nope. Only for the X.

@ATaco best suggestions are:

and

When photo modes went from actually taking a screen shot, to a bunch of BS post processing to make it look better than the game actually does, I lost all interest in them.

@Ver I've yet to play another FPS with as egregious desync, something Halo Infinite is famous for.

Halo Infinite also isn't exactly what I'd call a fast paced FPS either. Faster than something like Hell Let Loose, sure. But it is slower than most others.

@awp69 o7, have a nice day and keep moving those goal posts.

@awp69 Practice decent reading comprehension before attempting to call one out.

I said nothing bout not coming to PS5. The only mention of PS5, and Switch, by extention, was mentioning their swathes of games that skip Xbox.

I said the "plenty of games" you described is objectively the vast minority as very few indies launch on Xbox before other platforms.

@awp69 Plenty is a weird way of saying vast minority.

The majority of indie games will drop on Playstation or Nintendo first and come to Xbox at a later date, IF it even comes at a later date

@Kooky_Geezer Same page pretty much. My PC is still better than modern consoles in several regards and does VR, but starting to show it's age. About 8 years old at this point.

Putting together a new one because I don't see Xbox lasting much longer as a console.

@andrewsqual
Exactly. Between having to developer for two SKUs and maintain feature parity on the S that is significantly less powerful, just isn't worth it for most developers for the potential return from the smallest ecosystem.

Just bring back the library they had on Windows Phone 7+
and go for there.

I'd kill for another copy of an achievement enabled Final Fantasy 1.

@Ver They still haven't fixed desync since launch, 2 years ago, and their last test for improvement of it wasn't promising. Still tons of desync. And it is even more obvious when you have two Series X's playing it side by side.

I'm still waiting on some UI improvements on this godawful dash iteration we have now.

They just need to make sure it runs better on PS5 first. 😂

CoD died to me when 4 play split screen zombies was removed.

That said just upgraded my GPU to a 7700XT.

Keep this up and I'll just go back to PC full time. 🤷

Microsoft doesn't make money when I buy games on Steam and I'm using the same Windows key I've had since 2007 so Microsoft's not making money from me that way either.

Sony just finished bished up their whole debacle with Helldivers 2, and no Microsoft is like "hold my beer" and has to one up them on BS.

At least Helldivers 2 was an easy fix.

@Spaceman-Spiff stays the same. Background blurring has always been option though. There is a menu setting for it.

This one is completely wild to me.

Arkane Austin, I understand. But Tango?

I don't use quick resume anymore.

More often than not it breaks some part of a game be it saves, counters, achievements, or something else.

Zero interest in it. Especially if how they're handling console hardware is any indication of how it would be.

If they wanna do a Switch/Steam Deck type thing, so long as they're not stepping back in perfect romance, then sure. But I'm not messing with anything past that.

@GeeForce You didn't say. You implied. Either that or you're just being wontonly unreasonable.

We've know about the patch for what, a year? Anyone and their mom with a mod or making a mod knew when it dropped their things may break.

There was no coincidental timing aside from it possibly being rushed for the Fallout TV show. I'd expect someone gaming at least as long as me would get that. 🤷

I'm just waiting for New Vegas to get a resolution bump like literally every other Bethesda game published. It is like they treat it as the red-headed step-child.

@GeeForce
You new to PC gaming or something? Updates breaking compatibility with mods is normal and expected.

Good. While I have a PSN account, it is absolutely wild and to require it after having sold the game. Especially with how few places PSN actually works.

@CERBERUS40000 Sounds like you have some issues that needs a dressing. I'm able to log into 360 services without issue.

120fps every time it is an option. Not even a debate. Between my TV, monitor, and phone, all my screens are a minimum of 120hz.

@K1LLEGAL The crashing is caused by mods being installed that aren't compatible.

Even the mod Fallout London was delayed because it needs tested to work with the new update. Which itself is normal with games that have mod support.

Love the inclusion of a 40hz mode for those of us with 120hz VRR screens.

It really is a fantastic middle ground between 30 and 60.

Good to see they're supporting it at least.

Just sad to see the state it launched in pretty much killing any chance of a big number of players.

Call me when they start selling special edition consoles like they used to.

This contest stuff is for the dogs.

@OnlyGaming no it won't as it isn't avaible for purchase.

@OnlyGaming Only biased insofar that Xbox fan boys would call them biased because Sony does a good job at keeping an advantage.

I remember when everyone said DF and EG were biased toward Xbox when the One X was out performing the PS4 Pro. 😂😂
