I love using my Switch. If I can get that 'off screen' experience with Xbox it'll be a dream come true. My wife has the TV? No worries, I can play on my Surface
@Porridge2215 No prizes for guessing what site that is. It's ran by some great guys and there are some great people who use it but yeah, in the last 6 months or so it's become a pretty awful place 😟
This is very exciting news. Whatever it turns out to be it'll be fantastic I'm sure 😊 I'd vote for this historical idea in the CRPG genre, like Pillars of Eternity 😍
I guess this means Spiderman isn't woven into the narrative in any way? That's worrying in itself. An Avengers title that doesn't have Spidey is a crying shame. I had no plans to buy it (I'm a DC guy 😍) but I feel for the Marvel fans who were excited to have a complete Avengers game.
This is a fantastic idea. Touch controls don't interest me to be honest but considering it's gonna be tablets and phones people will be using to run xCloud it makes perfect sense. It fits perfectly with their focus on accessibility
Oh man, just had a great idea. Because of this it's very likely we'll see a Battle Pass or equivalent right. Imagine if we see crossover rewards like Sea of Thieves!! Pirate armour, KI armour (Fulgore would be great!), Gears armour, hell, Banjo Kazooie armour!! 😁 I'm not talking garish cosplay outfits, just subtle armour designs based on those IPs 😍
15/15 and in record time too haha I have watched it twice though. 3 times if you count Digital Foundry's analysis. Not to mention watched and read a ton of extra bits and bobs
Oh, and if there are any other new Dads reading this, make sure you buy a Switch. Suspend/Resume plus mobility makes it essential for Dad Life haha I can squeeze in 3 1/2 minutes of gaming at a moments notice and be ready for duty in an instant
As a reasonably new Dad I just can't stress enough how much of an impact Gamepass has on my gaming life. The money I save each year is staggering. I have GP all paid up until this time next year. Gaming is basically free for me now. Incredible 😍
In an ocean of great news, this little tidbit was a massive deal for me. Gareth Coker is a sublime composer, I listen to the Ori scores all the time at work. Gareth and Halo is an amazing pairing 😍
Only 1 vote Fraser?! No 'pick 3'? Very stingy lol I went Halo. I watched the show again this morning and in total there are 16 games that I'm excited to play in that line up! The best part? I'll only have to pay for one of them
If this was a surprise it would've been mind blowing. The problem for most of us, we follow the industry so closely that we knew it was coming. Because we 'knew', the lack of any gameplay or at least something more was disappointing.
5pm for Mums and Dads with little ones is the absolute WORST time possible!! Haha Luckily my wife is an absolute legend and I have from 4pm onwards to bask in Xboxy goodness 😍

Re: No Changes Being Made To Xbox Live Gold For Now, Says Microsoft
That's a hard no to free multiplayer from my point of view. Not the end of the world of course but it would've been quite a statement.

Re: Some Xbox Fans Want To Boycott Marvel's Avengers Over Sony Deal

Re: Platinum Tells Fans To Send Phil Spencer A Letter If They Want To See Microsoft's Scalebound IP Revived
Right, I have my pen and paper. Who has his address??
Re: Xbox Has Begun Adding Touch Controls To Project xCloud
This is a fantastic idea.
Touch controls don't interest me to be honest but considering it's gonna be tablets and phones people will be using to run xCloud it makes perfect sense.

Re: That Big 'Optimized' Logo On Xbox Series X Boxes Is Reportedly Being Removed
It didn't bother me personally. What I like about this is that most people didn't like it, so they took it onboard and changed it. Good stuff.
Re: Telstra Tells Customers Xbox Series X Pre-Orders Will Begin Soon
Fingers crossed for an August info blowout! Lockhart, price, LIVE details, new Series X enhanced titles. Should be an awesome month for Xbox
Re: Pick One: Which Of These August Xbox Game Pass Games Are You Most Excited For?
Good month
I went with Wasteland 3. Close call though.
Re: Armature Studio Says New ReCore 'Would Be Great To See'
I would absolutely like to see a sequel! I thoroughly enjoyed the first game, a very underrated title.
Re: Microsoft Is Making Big Changes To How You Buy Classic Xbox Games
Next stage would surely be OG Xbox and Xbox 360 tabs in the store to make it even clearer and easy to by back compat games
Re: It's Official! Halo Infinite's Multiplayer Will Be Free-To-Play, Support 120FPS

Some really great additions there! 😁
Re: Poll: Are You Happy With August 2020's Xbox Games With Gold?
I can understand the disappointment but come on....no love for Red Faction II??
Gamepass has made me care little for Games for Gold to be honest.
Re: Random: Valve Co-Founder Gabe Newell Prefers Xbox Series X To PS5
@AlexSora89 Disgusting isn't it. I love PlayStation but these days I'm ashamed to call myself a Sony fan. I've never seen such hypocritical ignorance.
Re: Random: Valve Co-Founder Gabe Newell Prefers Xbox Series X To PS5
3:10 for the Xbox question. Although I recommend watching it all, the guys a legend
Re: Random: Valve Co-Founder Gabe Newell Prefers Xbox Series X To PS5
Half-Life 3 confirmed and Xbox exclusive clearly!
Imagine.

Re: Ori And The Will Of The Wisps Gets 120FPS Boost On Xbox Series X
Oh and on the subject of Ori. I just found out that Gareth Coker, the man behind Ori's seminal soundtrack, is working on Halo Infinite. Massive news 😍
Re: Stalker 2 Is An Xbox Series X Console Launch Exclusive
This was a highlight for me. The atmosphere captured in this trailer is superb.
Re: 3D Action Platformer Balan Wonderworld Arrives On Xbox Next Year
Cannot wait for this
Re: Ori And The Will Of The Wisps Gets 120FPS Boost On Xbox Series X
I'll be buying a new TV at the same time as my Series X/PS5.
Guess it's gonna need HDMI 2.1

Re: Dragon Quest XI S Is Coming To Xbox Game Pass In December
What a treat
Re: Forza Motorsport On Xbox Series X Will Be 60FPS With Ray Tracing
I'm super excited for this!
I did (wrongly) assume I'd be playing it alongside Halo at launch.
It sounds like it's still a long way off.
Re: Destiny 2 Hits Xbox Game Pass In September
This is a big deal!
Re: Obsidian Unveils New Fantasy RPG, Avowed
They beat Fallout at it's own game and now they have their sights on Elder Scrolls! Should be something special
Re: It's Official, A New Fable Is Coming To Xbox Series X
If this was a surprise it would've been mind blowing. The problem for most of us, we follow the industry so closely that we knew it was coming. Because we 'knew', the lack of any gameplay or at least something more was disappointing.
Re: Here It Is, The World Premiere Gameplay Of Halo Infinite
It looks amazing
Re: Roundup: Here's Everything That Was Revealed During July's Xbox Games Showcase
