GTA5.....again. sadly.

Gonna slaughter this with my RTX3090

I don't play online on consoles out of principle that they charge for it.

@playstation_king So not exclusive, just a made up term to try move goalposts. Got you.

@playstation_king There are a bunch of multiplatform games in that list, not exclusive.

The bigger the better, give me high quality EVERYTHING. High capacity, high speed SSD storage on PC isn't an issue.

But is it a real one? Many of the units shown for devs and influencers from Gamescom were dummy units. All the ports at the back were blocked and nothing worked.

@Medic_Alert Yeah it took me about an hour to complete it on PC a few months ago (March? April?) when it launched.

Edit: It was also something like €5 on Steam at the time, slight sale from it's usual €8

@Tharsman I imagine PC. Then again Microsoft have mishandled so much lately it wouldn't surprise me if they unceremoniously accidentally did this as their 1st actual XSX gameplay reveal.

Also a slight correction for the article, the original version of Bright Memory was all done by just one guy. Bright Memory Infinite is basically the remaster and he has access to a development support studio.

While the worst of the 3 games, I'll pick it up on Steam but probably not right away.

Perfect Dark Tactics

@blinx01 The preorder discount, which stops upon release on every game in history, ends on November 3rd.

The Medium also launches November 3rd on PC, so that's another potential date.

@Dezzy70 The Xbox One is the problem, not PC

On topic, while I hope it's true, I don't believe it till I see it. They'd need fundamental engine changes from the ground up to not just "scale it higher".

And at this point, I don't trust 343, Xbox and Microsoft to do it.

@FraserG Ok 1 FAQ remains then lol but all the other stuff has had it removed from what I could see that used to contain it.

@redd214 Thanks, hadn't seen it listed anywhere. I'd say it's a shame that it'll be held back, but then I remembered I'll be skipping it anyway since this is the WB Montreal game, not Rocksteady's.

They removed all mention of Xbox One on all the MFS websites and listings everywhere

@redd214 Source? I saw no platforms listed anywhere

Hopefully it skips current gen

@NEStalgia Reminds me of the Halo 5 Legendary Collector's Edition. All the big fancy stuff, and a digital game code unless you went through the hoops to get it replaced. While the normal and special edition both had discs.

Clearly they have no faith in Xbox going forward. They took millions in marketing money for FC6 and ACV, but won't make discs for a platform they won't sell on

@BrilliantBill €30 so $30

@KelticDevil Ignoring criticism and failings of the company is exactly how they got to thiis point they are in now. Almost poetic.

@Richnj That is part of the biggest issues. Microsoft have been throwing around "12TFLOP" "$500 million budget for Halo" "world's most powerful console" for almost a year and flaunting the near 20% power lead they have over the competition.

Then they show their flagship IP and their supposed next gen killer app on a PC more powerful than the new console. And it not only doesn't look next gen but looks worse than current titles in the series on current gen hardware and PC versions. And THEN compared to the competition's current console, which is about 90% less powerful than next gen Xbox yet produces better visuals in games, let alone what their next console will produce.

As for the gameplay, the gameplay looks slow, bland and boring. It looked sluggish and slow paced in pretty much every way. I really didn't think they could mess it up any worse after Halo 5, but here we are. Halo 5 gameplay looked more fun than this.

Mismanagement and leadership failure example #2345873 at Microsoft.

Obligitory "looks better in Halo 5 Forge"

Can't wait. ODST, 4 and then 5 because Infinite got delayed

I used to be an achievement hunter back in the early 360 days. Once I hit.about 80k or 90k I slowed down big time. I've probably made 10k or less for the entire Xbox One gen. And even then most of them are either Xbox games on PC or Halo MCC

@NEStalgia I'm a "go big now, get the most for it long term, before going big again when you "have" to" kinda guy.

I did the same in 2014 when I got my main gaming monitor which still holds up to this day spec wise. In the PC Community we call the yearly upgraders, "gold chain gamers".

I do always look at the tech around before buying something. For example the previous ASUS model was 4k, 144hz g sync and HDR10, but there was no point getting that with my GPU, because most of the time, the display exceeded the GPU. With the new cards being announced September 1st, the €2200 I could've spent on the "not full utilised" previous model, will now get me a properly utilised, BETTER monitor for around the same cost.

The thing for me, is I'll get so much use out of the screens, even if I upgrade when available and then again in 3, 5 7 or 10 years, I'll have got an insane amount of use out of them. (my old 1080p Panasonic plasma from 2007 finally hit end of life burnout last year from use).

Oh, and unlike Nook, I have dates on repayments >_>

Or I send Timmy and Tommy round.

@NEStalgia I have 2 screen upgrades in the works.

An Asus ROG Swift PG32UQX (HDR-1400+ and G-sync Ultimate) for my PC and a Panasonic TX-65HZ2000B for the living room. I'll have to compare both once I get the new consoles because they will both offer something over the other.

IPS with up to 1400nit HDR vs the raw quality of the superior tech on OLED. Since they're both 4k and 120hz (without fake motion on the TV).

Yes.

End of story.

@Royalblues Yes. Xbox controller support is built native into windows 10, regardless of what store you're using. Which is why it's more newsworthy when a game has support for anything other than KB/M + xbox. Very few games include Playstation or Switch layouts.

Not sure why this is news, this has been a mandate since Windows 10 launched. They literally HAVE to do it.

@Porridge2215 I doubt Control is going to get raytracing on next gen consoles as it uses Nvidia's proprietary RTX rather than an engine based API agnostic version or software raytracing.

I could be wrong, I've been wondering how RTX equipped games will be handled going to next gen consoles. None of them have been confirmed to have raytracing next gen so far.

@BlueOcean "Do microsoft not have 1st party games at launch? What about their usual yearly game?"

"BUT SONY THO!"

That's gonna be a no from me dawg

I didn't vote in the 1st poll, but voted "huge loss" in the 2nd.

Mainly because I'm dying to play Halo Infinite (in theory) but after what I saw last month, it NEEDED a hefty delay.

@mousieone We'll have to agree to disagree

@mousieone Gran Turismo isn't yearly though. They're lucky to bring out 1 a generation. Not sure why you're going hard on the Sony stuff. We're talking 1st party Microsoft stuff at launch.

@mousieone Wow even their yearly racer isn't ready?

@BANJO Is there no Forza? I haven't been paying attention to it since I don't play Forza.

Maybe this is why they put so much work into BC improvements. Because there isn't anything else to play.

Another generation to Sony yet again. But we knew that already, this just speeds up the process.

@Royalblues It's incompetence, plain and simple. Is it the devs themselves? Leadership at the studio? Or the leadership direction from Microsoft themselves? All of the above? It's a failure by someone. Likely someone who has been failing with the company since 2013.

Was bound to happen with how laughable the reveal was.

It was like showing an OG Xbox 180 game vs whatever Sony will show for next gen.

Fire Greenberg.

White electronics are disgusting

@BlueOcean English humour? No wonder it's not funny! /s

(I'm Irish, part of the joke)

I will be waiting out timed exclusivity deals no matter the platform.

FF7R burned me too badly with the trainwreck on Ps4 Pro.

I'll be waiting out all timed exclusivity agreements (unless PS5+PC at launch) after how much of a disaster FF7R was on console.

And that game was the epitome of "can't wait it out" for me.

I'm gonna try it on Steam later today instead

While I'm not a fan of the stuff Platinum Games puts out, that wouldn't dissuade me from having their games on a system for other people that enjoy them.

What WOULD turn me off, is seeing a company with such a shady history, supposedly having screwed over the company, continue to get work from said company.
