I would be interested if it was like Nintendo’s classic consoles and done right with actual good games the system had, not like PlayStation who left out all their best titles and filled it with rubbish. I’d wanna see the original Halo, Forza Motorsport and Fable so people can see where these games started
My favourite so far is the 2013 reboot because if I remember correctly it was the game that made the Bow a big think in games. Not yet played Rise or Shadow yet but they’re on my list of games to play next
I’m not a lover of this “Season” system some games are doing, it fits in well with some games (mainly the “free to play” games) but some are ruined by it in my opinion
I’ve only played Hitman Absolution and thought it was great and actually thought it would have made a really good Bond game so it will be interesting to see. Not played any of the new games but I have been tempted to get them
By the time this game has gone through all the patches to get it running properly the game will probably be reduced in price to around £20 so I’ll wait until then
Good way to do it would be to finish/fix games before releasing them, that way more people will buy them day one instead of waiting to see any issues and waiting for the patches to fix it, usually by that time the game has drastically dropped in price
@Dezzy70 I know what you mean, when these new systems came out there was no new exclusives that couldn’t be played on the Xbox One, as for gamepass I find that a lot of the games don’t interest me enough to pay. Personally I feel that the new systems are more of an upgrade than a new gen system
Personally I think it’s more of a push towards unifying Xbox live gold and gamepass, Basically instead of the gold, gamepass and ultimate subscriptions it will just be 2, Xbox Live Gold (which would include gamepass) and Xbox Live Ultimate
Where I live they have some in stock but will only sell in a bundle with their Gameware accessories, rechargeable battery pack, charge station, earphones, game storage tower and controller. Sounds good on paper but their just trying to sell their own garbage items
Are they actually launch titles if they're released several months after the system? I thought a launch title was games that released on the same day. In my opinion the new generation of Xbox was released with no games and still to this day have only a small amount of games that’s “exclusive”
Ah I’d live an Indy game but by Bethesda? Hmm I Think it’s something I’ll sadly pass because I’m not a lover of Bethesda games but hopefully it will do well for other developers to show an interest
I’d say that’s more of a nice coincidence, if you looked into it that much then you’d probably say they’re going into business with NFL because of the ball
I recently went through all my preowned games and found a season pass for gears of war 4, Alan Wake 360 game with dlc, all gears of war games for 360, about 5 14 trials for gamepass ultimate and 3 month trial for EA Play. In my 360 games I found a preorder bonus for GTA4 that came with 800msp, a QR code for some avatar awards, and about 3 one month trials for gold
@geordie I only go for the achievements in games I really enjoy and use them as an incentive to play the game after I finish but apart from that no I’m not bothered
What’s with all the weird crossovers in games? Hot Wheels/Lego in Forza, wrestlers in Gears 5 and now this. Hate to say it but they were all fun so perhaps this will be
I didn’t personally care too much for Blair witch, man of Medan was pretty good but I’d highly recommend Little Hope if you enjoyed it, dead space is a fantastic game especially in the dark and Alan wake is my favourite game of and Xbox game because it’s very Stephen King style of writing.
Solid list but there are a lot of amazing ones not on gamepass too if you’re looking to expand your horror collection
I prefer it because over time batteries deteriorate so I’d rather not have to buy a new controller because the battery has gone, invest in rechargeable ones is the best bet
@Captain_Chao5 they usually do revise them to iron out a few issues. I’m not a fan of their design either because the series s looks like a DJ hero controller and the x is just too bulky
@blinx01 personally I don’t think we’ll be getting Forza Horizon 5 this year because Horizon 4 has been enhanced for the system, maybe a Forza Motorsport and then Horizon next year. Don’t get me wrong it would be awesome for a new one this year but I think they’d rather wait until the majority have moved over to the new system so they can make it the best they can instead of making it for Xbox one and upscaling for the new systems
Just finished finding all the gaps in THPS (it’s amazing what I still remember from the PS1 days) now I’m just aiming for the last 2 achievements, reaching level 100 and all the hard get there challenges. Occasionally dropping in on forza horizon 4 but debating on picking up Dirt 5
@Krzzystuff I understand that there will be more 3rd party expansions but I doubt the official expansion will drop much if any, I believe this because looking at other first party products the price tends to stay for the official product, Xbox controllers as an example are still £45-£55 even though the market is saturated with good and bad cheaper controllers the official one still kept its price, I think that’s how it will be with the expansion, it may drop a fraction if they release a bigger size but even then I don’t think it will be much

@Fath interesting. Replacing rubber/silicone skins with denim would be a nice cheaper alternative
Re: Random: Xbox Canada Shows Off 'One-Of-A-Kind' Canadian Tuxedo Controller
Probably because I’m from the UK but why is it “Canadian Tuxedo” if it’s a denim design? Are Canadian formalwear made of denim?
