Agreed, Avengers put me off this title, thought it was the same Devs, same gameplay mechanic, etc. Glad to hear it's not! But Deux Ex team? Wow, great news ! It would nearly make you feel like pre ordering it lol
Likely a 512gb for me, depending on UK price That'll be enough to keep me ticking over and make me feel I've done enough without paying too much (hopefully 99 gbp?)
@ChrisMcC7 i've only recently started using the local Game which is now a concession inside sports direct in the uk. I have a few pre orders there and honestly, feel like cancelling then, spending the credit I have on reward card and using Argos or Tesco in future.
Very annoyed my local game started their 3 preorders at 9 a.m.
Would anyone have a link to the official Twitter UK account that said 2 p.m. please? I've tried hard to find it
Hang on!
It only holds 12 cans?
What happens when that gets full?
I'll have to decide what cans I'm keeping, that I need, and then decide about the another ones that I just need to use up and get rid of!
I know you're gonna say that I have to be more organised, but still.
Is there an expansion slot?
Will Seagate get the exclusive for the overpriced expansion to hold an extra 6 cans?
When the news first broke that you could get an adaptor and a card a few weeks ago I started investigating and this story kicked that off again. From what I can tell both times, at £30 for the adaptor, and managing find the exact spec and the physical size of card to fit in the adaptor, might as well just buy the official card. Nearly I've done my maths wrong or wasn't looking at the correct shopping sites, but to me it really just is not worth it. The new 512gb will be the option for me in a several months time, until then my 480gb SSD connected is working just fine
Tag line "and some fans aren't happy" should be added as a tag line to every single story. That's just the internet these days!
As for the voice-over, I think the first suggestion was a good one - that if he only announces the medals it would be good for the fans, I mean why not?
I'm saying that I don't actually play halo multiplayer
It's the lack of effort that gets me. I always count far cry, assassin's creed and just cause as my fav go to games When the rest of the world seems to be all about about CoD, BF and FIFA every year, I always defend my franchises, and with money, support them, to the hilt, but this lack of OPTIONS eg 1080, 30fps, RT has really, REALLY, got my goat
@SplooshDmg, what I came on here to say ! I even I think I'd rather play a 1080 30fps with RT
What I can't understand is that with dynamic scaling can't they just let the frame rate drop to a minimum of 1080, maybe a maximum of 1800 (so there isn't that dramatical a changed between resolution), keep Ray tracing even at 60fps
I'm simplifying a lot, but would have imagined that Ray tracing was an on off switch? (I think pc games have that sort of thing) And wouldn't dynamic resolution be a Min Max slider anyway, one which the developer would have access to?
Happy to hear about the Outcast 2, loved the original, definitely remember the voxel graphics! I think the original game was head of its time - wasn't it a big open world, lots of tasks and rescuing? So much so that I was pretty much overwhelmed and and never truly got into the whole game. I think I'll have a go at the remaster that was out a few years ago
Bit hopeless at 'proper' racers, best ever for me was Burnout Revenge. I'm really like the thought of this though, think it is pitched really well, and would suit a wide array usual audience, well done.
They aren't going to sell these are a loss, so they need to keep making these for a long time, they will all sell. That would stop most people paying silly money on the internet and scalpers (as you would wait for one, unlike a console needed yesterday!) Need an RRP for this asap, Microsoft
@blinx01 i get your point, but maybe this is to stop limited time player (like me!) from having to grind lots of matches just to get XP? Get XP in short bursts is what I'm thinking
I don't think I mind this, but not an online player, so I suppose I shouldn't comment...
Mind you, maybe I'm NOT an online player BECAUSE of the traditional xp per match setup, and this new arrangement will be BETTER for me, especially the info @StevenDTM gave
@themightyant I'd say it's concept art that asset designers use to create the world. Enough content to let me decide Neon. I'm imagining the ray tracing and HDR on that baby! Lol
Can't help feeling that, well, 2k did let everyone down, fans and WWE both. If they mess up again, then, yeah, the contract has to change to protect the brand, it's only logical.
No problems with wired, playe a LOT with the PowerA, which has 2 programmable buttons at rear NEARLY bought these, as I thought it was the one with 3d Atmos license as part of the package, but realised it wasn't In the end, got the wireless 3d and STILL have to buy Atmos licence... This would be a great story, but isn't, as addicted to ps5 immortals fynex rising (35% complete), so won't be buying game pass ultimate for a few weeks or more...
Yep, all 1st party console exclusives (orbidden west) on ps5, can everything else XSX, plus game pass ultimate Sony won't make money up from console loss from me This sort of tech will come into its own when vrr is more popular just like hd, uhd, Blu-ray, etc
On the pc originally, I just remember clicking on everything in screen and getting a humorous, but aggravating, comment. Every single click, Every time, annoying, "You can't use that here" "You don't want to do that" "Hey I guess you wouldn't wanna put that up your nostril" Okay maybe i exaggerate, but, still... But I would play it on game pass, for about 2 hours
Maybe 5 years since I've played this, but with so much there to play, it won't be a day one for me however once I see the reviews and see that it has properly been enhanced, I'll be tempted to pick it up in a few months
I just stick with two 2nd-hand SSDs from CEX, 240gb-ish, 1 for each next gen, works a treat.
But further down the line, yeah, I'll buy an expansion for team green - MS wins this round
It'll be interesting to compare to the ps5 tech demo, as that used the SSD to show of a high-speed flying sequence at the end, which the Xbox SSD couldn't (?) keep up with... I like these tech demos though, I remember valve's source engine, and ue3 ones years ago
64gb storage? I'm sure it's fast and all that, but seems a crazy small amount!
i'd leave the steam deck purely for steam game, not Xbox streaming, as isn't 720 a bit too low-res to be streaming games to? Could you read text in Xbox games?. A large 6.5" phone with £10 phone_controller-holder is probably perfectly functional for streaming.
I wonder is there a 1080 streaming device about 7.5 inch about, cheap, as an alternative?
