Well why not. Two big companies like these it's going to be good for each other.
But.... i've heard on other tech mobile sites that Google is looking to to buy Samsung out of using their own store and instead rely 100% on Google play store. Same for Bixby and Google assistant)
Shame I couldn't find the link but if that's true, and it DID sound it, this is not really going to get off the ground, certainly after this generation ie S20.
All saying that the MAIN reason I have an 20+, is because it is a 5g with a fairly big, high-resolution screen to play cloud!

@Gipsons this was my surprise hit of the last few months. I've absolutely loved it. Great story, ticks along nicely, and once you get the drone you can fly on to of, it gets even better!

I'm pretty excited about not only the game pass library (or most of them?)
But for GAME DEMOS on this setup.
So up comes a demo, eg NFS 2022 (lol), a game I wouldn't normally go for. I stream it at work or in holiday. I like it and buy it, maybe drunkenly.....
It downloads to the XsX, takes a few hours (?)
I continue to play it on stream while I'm waiting for the DL to finish.
When I get home I switch on the XsX, and am able to pick up the game from EXACTLY where u left off.
So NOT "load up and restore a save game and lose some progress from where the last save game was saved" (eg typewriter in Res games, or start of the level in other games)
But an actual SAVE GAME STATE, like if you shut down the console and come back to the same game a few days later and it picks up from the exact 'frame' that you left off.
Sorry if I emphasised to much, trying to show how great this will be.

I'll definitely get something, need something small and portable to carry into work, so the attachment for large controller is probably out...
Now it's starting to look quite expensive!

The game half interests me, but, agreed, getting less content isn't good. Knock a fiver off, or a free Spiderman update 3 months later, but not this approach.

If start a mini_poll here, Fraser, even if only a dozen vote, it'd be interesting

Nice improvements, GUI had always been a little ropey. On saying that, it was usually fast at least. (Unlike other consoles, don't flame me!)

Good to see individual controls for different games. Also pleased the GUI isn't just a joystick design but an eyeball for camera and person for moving. Nice visual to back up what you're actually doing

A bit disappointed that I cannot vote, says I didn't select an answer...
Dontnod's latest will be the one for me, recently finished Life 1, b.t. storm, and 2 over the past 6 months
but am gonna fire up flight simulator on pc too , set to dummy mode and see how my 1070ti gets on with those graphics!

One of the most frustrating games I've played. I really did not have a hope in hell is finishing the caverns in any of the times and goals they asked for. I'm just not a good enough player...
I eventually finished the main story, but the end game for the last fortress (?) was extremely repetitive and slightly easy!!
A few bugs too eg the last of 5 keys needed to open another section hidden underground where it couldn't be got at all.
but the story was good if they have it a REAL good rethink and redesign.
Yes, I'd try it

@FraserG Ahhh, is all coming back to me now, thanks

Honestly can't remember what the old style look like...
could we not have had a before and after picture?

Yes, BC going to be a big thing, Just Cause 3 was mentioned before, but for me I'm all in for Just Cause 4.
Funnily enough, I've just started the playing Alan wake on the X and it's an improvement in sure over the 360, but doesn't really help the fact that it is dated. Same for original fable...
I sort of only want to play modern games,

through alan wake for the first time,

No great loss for me, everyone should enjoy the campaign and let them finish polishing MP. Just make sure campaign is a day one release!

We were told that everything to be saw yesterday was going to be part of game pass so yes pretty excited.
I mean who wouldn't want play game as a tiny fox! I'm in
Lake sounds pretty good, a different pace of game
12 minutes is gonna be interesting!
Maybe not the brawler, or the shredder for me personally
But it is a great lineup, well done indies! And wrll done Xbox for the eco system (?) that allows these to become reality

Yes 4k nice but at exactly 7:01 then :05 then :07 going up that elevator there is a wild popip in the hills, centre right of the screen. Not just once but those 3 times (third isn't terrible but others are)
Def is a difference to the texture quality especially on the ground and I think I could see better Ray tracing on explosions going up the ramp about the 6 minute Mark
I've said on this forum before it's going to be hard to appreciate streaming but it's going to be very very hard to appreciate the response of the controller with the reductions in latency etc
Thanks for the link!

It was okay I guess

Enjoyed the live comments, hanging with @localpenguin, shame could not get a user directory to see blueocean and danremastered ( but don't know what exact use names were)

Yes, nice job, would be nice to see what was a launch title

Def watching live, probably YouTube on 65-in telly... Looking forward to seeing all the new games. I was probably the only person in the world that's quite the last one that got criticised so much!
Funnily enough at 1080 resolution it will be hard to appreciate just how good the graphics are.
Come to that, we'll not be able to tell from videos the lack of input lag and latency that MS have been keen to emphasis, an(other?) area that they seem to be 'up' on Sony
