This looks awesome! I've tried every Pro controller, and for me, Scuf Envision Pro is my favorite for comfort and aiming performance. But it's only for PC. I need something for Xbox. My Elite Series 2 is heavy and fatigues my fingers sometimes. I also don't like how much input lag it has (7ms vs under 2ms for other controllers like my Scuf). Looking forward to trying and comparing the TB controller with the Nacon Revolution X Unlimited once both are released!
It deserves another spin off or sequel. My favorite 3D platformer, the humor never gets old. Bet they wouldn't be able to make a game like this today though, lol.
Is it even worth it on sale for like 20 bucks? I liked all the other Saints Row games a lot, even Gat out of Hell DLC was fun, but just heard so many bad things about the new one... like cringe writing/characters, not much customization, just an empty boring world. The world and characters are some of the most important things in a game to me, so last thing I'd want is to be annoyed or turned off by them
@DaverDaver Yeah, it could be placebo, but I definitely feel and see a smoother frame rate. It looks like it stays in the 50s more, at least from what I see so far. But sometimes it's clearly 60fps, even when exploring, which I don't ever remember being the case lol. I've been playing it a lot lately, and earlier today before this patch, I felt like it was a slog just exploring. Doesn't feel that way now. I explored quite a bit in different environments too, lots of rainy misty areas lol. Hopefully we get some analysis vids to know for sure, but I think performance is better. Idk about lighting changes, but I do think the game looks amazing in HDR on my OLED, and I really enjoy how dark and contrasty it can be, just heightening the haunting atmosphere the game excels in to begin with.
@Trmn8r Metro Exodus was 4k 60fps with ray traced global illumination, and it was probably the most next gen game I've seen. I think it's what we should expect for games. Some sort of ray tracing at 4k 60fps. But it seems like some games aren't well optimized like Metro is, or their engines are more GPU heavy maybe, like Dying Light 2 can't even do 4k 60fps. So Metro Exodus gives me hope for this gen, but we'll see how many games actually hit that mark lol
Perfect timing! I'm just now starting Bloodstained RotN, and so far, I think it's better than Castlevania SotN, which is in my Top 10 games of all time
I would say it's starting to become my favorite Resi game, even liking it more than 4, which has always been my favorite. That's how much I am liking it lol
Very happy about this app finally coming to Xbox! I used it today and I was able to sync ALL my favorites and extensions, like my dark mode for all web pages. It's pretty cool and feels like I'm on my computer. It did crash a few times though sadly.
I am absolutely shocked and delighted to hear it's coming in the fall. I hope the devs had enough time to work on it lol. I was thinking this was like a year or two away honestly. Really excited, because with no Overwatch 2, I'm left with just Destiny 2 right now, which I still love, but I want another "never-ending" game I can sink my teeth into, and I love Battlefield, so I think this could be it.
@Cisco Yeah, I just got my SX so can't wait to see how fast everything loads in D2! I'm probably not gonna play much of it until the big next gen upgrade releases next month. The load times really were a nightmare with D2, I'm sure it's like night and day better now.
I am freaking out over this lol. D2 is my favorite, most played game ever, and I was stoked about 4k 60fps support. But hearing 120fps in Crucible, even though I'm just a casual PvP player, gets me hyped. I definitely have to get that LG CX TV now for 4k@120hz!
@graysoncharles Thanks for letting me know! Very happy to hear that. I def feel relieved because I can put games like RDR2 on the Ext HDD for example or whatever massive game that isn't optimized for the console. It's gonna be so nice honestly and I won't feel like I need to put everything on the SSD, only special/optimized games pretty much!
I am very suspicious of these direct-connect headsets. I tried the Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 2's, and loved them, but the sound popped like crazy, and I tried EVERYTHING. It's the headset more than likely. I preordered the Audeze Penrose X because I am dying to get my hands on a comfy, good sounding headset that offers noise isolation. Really hoping I like them more than my Astro A50's, if I don't, then I will just return 'em.
I'd kill for a new Conker or Banjo game. We need more 3D platformers on Xbox. I loved New Super Lucky's Tale and A Hat in Time and Yooka Laylee, but that's about all we got this generation.
1. Original Xbox - Like 2004? I think the see-through green one is what I had.
2. Xbox 360 - 2005 white version, red ring of death galore
3. Xbox 360 Elite - the one that came out in 2010 I got
4. Xbox One w/ Kinect - 2013
5. Xbox One X - 2017
6. Xbox Series X (once I get my preorder, didn't count this in the vote though)
I'll be honest, in my mind I have planned to HUG the Series X when I get it. It looks so adorable and I want it so bad, so come Nov 10, that's probably the first thing I'll do. Hold it in my arms like it's a baby lol and give it a nice big hug!
Managed to preorder my Series X from MS Store! I am so lucky lol. I barely woke up too because I didn't get much sleep, and I haven't been feeling well, but I was up on time like around 7:56 and the millisecond it hit 8am I ordered it! My friend wasn't so lucky. He waited 3 hours and also hit it to order like the millisecond it was 8, but didn't get it I guess. The server crashed for him I think. I'm so thankful I was able to get it!
@graysoncharles I don't think it's understandable to have timed exclusives when it just pisses people off. I know it's more popular in Japan, but this just really sucks for everyone I feel. It's a scummy way to do business. We had FF15 at launch on Xbox, so it should be that way for FF16 as well. They could make it up by having FF16 on Game Pass though
Okay, does the preorder deal only count like if you trade in the console right now and preorder? Or can I preorder SX Sept 22, and then trade in my XB1X Nov 10 and get the $200?
I've been playing Final Fantasy IX since it's on GP and I'm really liking it so far. Much better than 7 in every way! Story and writing is very interesting and I love the characters and the music! Not a fan of the combat though, so the cheats are my friend
@Gamer83 Ya, I remember him saying how he wants the console to be affordable, and that's always stuck with me, so feel like it definitely can't be more than 500 dollars for SX. 500 is still like a premium price, but I think it's affordable and so much value considering you can't even build a PC to match SX without it costing like 1300 dollars lol
Ok, this is amazing and all, but I really hope this applies to the original base game and NOT just the Complete Edition. I beat the story and dlc already and do not wanna start over... I still have side quests and stuff to do though.

Re: Elden Ring Gets A New Update On Xbox, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
Has anyone noticed an improvement to the frame rate on Series X? I feel like it is much more stable, closer to 60fps, but I don't know for sure.
Re: Hands On: Cyberpunk 2077's Next-Gen Upgrade Is A Major Improvement On Xbox Series X
