Just cleaning up some achievements in Forza Horizon 4 and possibly make a start with Alien Isolation, been fancying the marvel game but I’m not sure yet as I’ve heard mixed reviews
If I was to pick one up I’d wait until a revision purely because when I picked up an Xbox one around it’s launch I had it replaced 5 times due to them all being faulty, with the last one I just said I’ll get a PS4 instead and that ended up being faulty. I only just recently picked up a new Xbox One X for a low £150 so I’m not in a rush to upgrade anyway, on the plus side I should be able to get my games cheaper
I can understand 60fps in borderlands but I can’t see how 4K would do much, fair enough with games that aim for realistic visuals but this is almost like comic book visuals.
These will be almost required because on current consoles 1tb is low, uninstalling an re installing when you come back to it isn’t a good answer because some games take upwards of 2 hours to install.
With the new systems keeping the backwards compatibility and updating Xbox games the seem better the 1tb will fill up fast,
Personally I can see it from both perspectives that Apple is sticking to its policies (as I believe it should) and also doesn’t want its own gaming platform to be wiped out, and Microsoft just want their platform on as many devices as possible.
I wouldn’t bother either way because why would I play games on my iPad when it’s easier and better to play them on the tv?
The whole point of remaking it is to make it play better and look better, the visuals make it look like a 360 game so let’s hope it has better controls
How you connect them is convince them to break up with your current system then introduce them to the new console, let them have a few dates to see if their compatible
@TheNewButler ah I’ll probably give it a miss because with most games like that I do tend to start over and not end up finishing the game, I tend to go for more linear story driven like Tomb Raider and Gears of War, that’s probably why I don’t have much issues with load times
@TheNewButler I’ve not played that game in particular so I can’t really comment on that but my One X is pretty decent in load times in the games I do have, however mine refuses to install Gears of War
Interesting how they compare it to the One S saying is so much faster. I’m sure if they compared it to the One X there wouldn’t be much of a difference. But hey that’s just a marketing thing
I hope they release them soon because I need a second controller and everywhere’s out of stock, I refuse to pay £60 for a preowned that’s worn, clogged with dirt and smell of smoke
@blinx01 It does 120Hz not 120FPS. Also the cost of the tv in question as you said is £1,500 so technically I’m not wrong because after purchasing the console and a game to play on it it’s at the 2K mark.
Yeah it comes close to doing all of them but I’m sure most won’t want to spend that so will most likely play on their current tv.
There is no tv in existence yet that can put out all the specs of these next consoles and to get close you’ll need to spend upwards of 2K so most people will get the same experience they get now on current systems, even Sony’s new “ready for PS5” TVs won’t fulfill all its features
For most people the series x will display not much different to the current Xbox one because it’s down to your tv to display it, to get a tv that displays 4K at 120fps would cost upwards of £1,500, plus there’s not a tv available that will utilise all of the next gen specs, the closest you could get is with a gaming monitor.
The only thing I see different is the Gears 5 icon, that looks better than the current green thing we have now, maybe after i use it I’ll see a bigger difference
I’ll check for any missable achievements first and aim for them during my play but I tend to enjoy the game then if i enjoyed it I’ll go back to clean the rest up. I don’t buy games specifically for an easy 100% in achievements but if that game happens to look interesting I’ll check it out.
My main focus for gaming is my switch anyway as i travel for work a lot and also enjoy gaming in peace
Right what needs to happen if this it going ahead? Release it physically with all previous DLC, I still own it from 360 days but never got around to getting the DLC
All the prices are indeed great if you’re aiming for all digital, I mean i picked up a couple of the games on this list a few days ago and compared to the prices i saved anywhere between £5-£10 on each game. Granted I’ll still get one or two that I didn’t pick up, again great deal if you’re aiming for all digital or want to reduce your physical collection
@KelticDevil I just thought that if someone picked up a physical copy of a game that is now no longer available on the Xbox store, would you still be able to purchase the DLC through the in game menu, If it’s not possible then that kinda sucks because it means that there’s no way of actually completing the game and getting all achievements
I’m still skeptical about it being called “Series S” because people believed Xbox One was to be called “Xbox 720” up until officially announced. Personally I think it will be an all digital version of the series X and the slim will come in a year or two

Re: GameStop Announces Trade-In Offers For The Xbox Series S & X
When I seen them I thought “that’s not too bad” then I seen it’s dollars. That’s terrible.
It will only get you the money to buy one or two games depending what you trade in, one of the reasons I go elsewhere to trade in my games
Re: Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 Becomes Fastest Selling THPS Game Ever
Even though it’s a game you can finish in less than an hour it has tons of replay ability, it is easily the best skateboarding game available.
Plays similar to the originals but I’m gutted I can’t play as spider-man anymore.

Re: Random: The Xbox Series S Has Been On Phil Spencer's Bookshelf Since July
To be fair how would someone notice it if nobody knew what it looked like, especially if it’s placed where nobody would put one.
Fair enough if it was straight on so you could see the black dot because most people would have just assumed it was a speaker
