I much prefer Horizon 4 over 5. Luckily mine came packaged with my xbox one s. It was the first game I played on it and I was blown away. It's even better looking on the series consoles. My advice, get it while you can.
Can't understand why they haven't made a Tom Clancey title utilising the Mario +Rabbids engine.
Surely a money maker across all platforms.
Or perhaps team up with Xbox for Halo Tactics.
They do good games, they just keep overpricing themselves out of the market.
So much competition these days not just on price but time to play the big titles.
I thought it was pretty good Better the Sonys show the other day. But I do think my feel good factor is because at long last Xbox owners have some reasons to smile. The last quarter of the year is looking good for Xbox.
@Banjo-
I agree Banjo. remember
When everybody plays we all win???
Come on nintendo. You'll won't be top dog forever.
We need fresh games that may be inspired by others of great gaming goodness. Don't knock them, we need alternatives to samey modern games, remasters and sequels of today.
Yes. I will try to purchase the controller. Keep missing out on the switch one. Looking forward to this. Gives me hope that Project Diva might eventually reach XBOX one day.
@anoyonmus Classic Xbox move. Could of shifted a few consoles this holiday. One step forward, 2 steps back. Unless the next Xbox is unbelievably special with some special exclusive games we could be looking at the beginning of the end. I'm waiting to see how it all pans out before I decide on my next console. I'll enjoy what I have in the meantime.
Needs improved filters and a much better search engine. At the very least to be able to search by publisher or developer. This is a great feature on the nintendo eshop.
Price /genre/sale filtering etc all need improving. I have mentioned these points before and nothing has changed.
I refer everyone to my previous post and responses.
16Nic-Noc20th-CFri 10th May 2024 Hi Everyone.
I didn't think she sounded too convincing in this interview. When asked about the studio closures I thought she avoided the qustion rather than answered.
However could anyone please explain why the studios affected had to close rather than sold? Surely Tango Gameworks would of had interested parties.
I think it's a pretty tough time at the moment for anyone to launch a game console right now. Heck video games software is a risk with a lot of games not hitting targets and console launches can be expensive.
Money is tight here in the UK. I've been told it's the same in Japan. Don't know the situation in other regions of the world.
This shows microsoft that a with right exclusive game/ games they could still shift the xbox series. They just need to find their Pokemon, Call of Duty, Minecraft or whatever and keep it exclusive. Maybe even collaborate with influncers such mr Beast or The Sidemen. Whatever they touch seems to turn into Gold.
However it needs to be a must play game that the world wants, or simply must play. But with such a competitive market and so many ways to play games these days I understand this a huge task for any developer and may now be impossible.
Disappointed with this news. I was really looking forward to this on GP. I would be very interested in buying a double pack of both Steamworld Heist games if Thunderful are reading this.
Looking forward to trying Rogue Trader. Looking to buy with discount. Have most of the others love them all. I'll also try Blood Bowl 3. After the bad reviews I'm intrigued because BB 2 was very good
Really looking forward to skulls showcase later today!!!
I don't think they can afford not to go multi platform in order to survive. They have good but disappointing figures I understand. In other news Capcom keep breaking records and surpassing their own expectations. What can others learn from them?
Hopefully this will mean the FF pixel remasters should come to Xbox at some point in the future.
So what you are saying that it's not a total waste of money for Microsoft as they gain IP and future revenue from current and future re-releases plus sequels if they desire. It's the original creators that lose out.
I didn't think she sounded too convincing in this interview. When asked about the studio closures I thought she avoided the qustion rather than answered.

Unbelievable !!! I think Xbox (microsoft) have made some serious errors of judgement lately. I actually like this game despite the bad reviews. It's my most played last year. This patch would of secured future plays, now if the servers are closed there's no chance. As for the future of XBOX, who knows?? Waiting for June showcase but now for all the wrong reasons.
That's one of things that Xbox should be working on and should have been working on through the years. It's never too late. They have the talent to produce the goods.
All those nintendo IP started somewhere from scratch. They were just ideas and went on to become bigger things.
This is worrying. However they can bounce back with the right tactical plan. Nintendo proved it can happen with the transition from Wii U to Switch.
For me it's the lack of killer exclusives, the must have games and sharing some of the best with others. Is this to lessen the shortfall financially or to try and tempt other players to Xbox? Xbox have bought a lot of devs with not much to show so far. Hoping that will change soon. Betting on Xbox but its a gamble.

Re: 'SNK Vs. Capcom: SVC Chaos' Is Back, But There's No Sign Of An Xbox Release
@anoyonmus
Just a little reminder for everyone.
The next nintendo console isn't a guaranteed success. Nintendo have had their fare share of failures over the years.
Re: Talking Point: Do You Think This Generation Will Be A Short One?

Re: Three More Xbox Game Pass Titles Have Just Been Announced For 2024
Hopefully might see a release for Heist 1 and Quest together with Heist 2 in a Steamworld collection.
Wishful thinking but you never know.
Got hooked on Steam Powered Giraffe because of the original game. Seen them live twice since then.

Re: Major Game Maker Reportedly Questioning Xbox Support Amidst 'Falling Sales'
@ShadowofTwilight
That's one of things that Xbox should be working on and should have been working on through the years.
It's never too late. They have the talent to produce the goods.
All those nintendo IP started somewhere from scratch. They were just ideas and went on to become bigger things.
Re: Major Game Maker Reportedly Questioning Xbox Support Amidst 'Falling Sales'
This is worrying. However they can bounce back with the right tactical plan.
Nintendo proved it can happen with the transition from Wii U to Switch.
For me it's the lack of killer exclusives, the must have games and sharing some of the best with others. Is this to lessen the shortfall financially or to try and tempt other players to Xbox?
Xbox have bought a lot of devs with not much to show so far. Hoping that will change soon.
Betting on Xbox but its a gamble.
