Feel free to read up how Microsoft makes up the difference and surpasses the Playstation 5's brute force version of speed processing. This developer wanted to get a bunch of half baked stories out there to flame the console wars and for anyone to even know their garbage game was coming out. Once it releases like a wet turd it will be quickly forgotten
Maybe with Chinese Influence they can make Dying Light 3 not be a bore. I quickly grew bored of Dying Light 2 it lost so much character that was in the original.
@theduckofdeath TeamKill Media LLC the developers of this soon to be forgotten game, have only made two games and their first game released 4 yrs ago looks awfully familiar. So this is nothing more than recycled shovelware
@rustyduck Have him play Ape Out, it's a far better game about playing as a murderous Ape. Kids shouldn't have to play shovelware. Sorry but there is a zero percent chance this game will turn out playable let alone fun.
@KaijuKaiser The only games guaranteed to show up on Game pass day one are from the over 30+ studios Microsoft owns directly. The other day one releases range from indies to some AAA games. Because you picked three out of the air that didn't come to Gamepass doesn't mean every major studio hates the idea of Gamepass. Activision was run like a garbage dump and quite frankly what they considered a good idea is the opposite of what I would do. I am glad they are being bought out and don't get to make the big decisions anymore.
Here's the beauty of gamepass, when Starfield comes out I'm out no additional money to install it and verify if it is indeed a great game or a sluggish bug ridden mess.
@RingOfLite666 Venba and Wandering Village both are indie games, but generic would not be a term to use for either game. Only from someone who hasn't looked into either game because they are afraid of an artistic indie title.
It's not Todd Howard's excuse, just close to every movie director also prefers to use lower framerates, below 30 even for a cinematic approach. Not every game benefits from being 120 fps.
Alan Wake is still not an indie which seems to be your only qualifier for what you consider not a waste of time. Which makes me sad for you
@RingOfLite666 The Wandering Village and Venba are coming out for the Playstation as well. The difference is if you wanted to try them you would have to pay full price to see if you even liked them.
@RingOfLite666
You've played Venba and the Wandering Village? No? 3 yrs ago and even longer for Alan Wake I've played both of Playstations games. Also Starfield could 100% run at 60 fps or higher, but they are going to a cinematic approach. Also Microsoft delayed Starfield from releasing for 2 yrs to make sure it's not a typical buggy Bethesda game. Also ID helped Bethesda with Starfield and I must say ID makes so exceptional games. So instead of sounding like all you care about is Call of Duty games and big budgeted loud AAA dude bro games how about you relax and try out the occasional indie game you may like them.
Sony Playstation Plus can brag about getting a 3 yr old Call of Duty, when Microsoft Gamepass is about to get every Call of Duty, and have Day One releases of Call of Duty every year on Gamepass.
@RingOfLite666 Alan Wake and Call of Duty Cold War I would hardly call bangers. More like dusty old games. Though anyone with an Xbox who has ultimate and can't find something that entertains them should probably just stop gaming.
@Serpentes420 Yes no one would have bought Bethesda's next original IP so that's why they are giving away Starfield. The reason Sony won't release day one games on PS Plus is because they can't see the big picture. They would rather collect the $70 upfront and be done with it rather than collect $15 a month forever. Many gamers don't have the funds to buy multiple $70 games a year and when turds like Forspoken steal their $70 they are less inclined to fork over another $70 on an unknown. Gamepass is brilliant because of the low cost low risk of stepping out of you comfort zone and trying new games.
@themcnoisy Here's a novel concept if you truly cared about the two random indie games you got a month then why not help indie developers and just randomly buy two indie games a month?
@DennisReynolds Sure but it's a loss no one cared about. Every month people, especially here, complained hard about the two free games. You gain Microsoft not having to waste their time and putting that energy into getting new games for gamepass.
@Grayjedi13 If you are paying full price for Ultimate instead of doing a simple google search to find it cheaper I can't help you. I am good for the next 6 months on Ultimate and it cost me a whole $40 lol
@DennisReynolds Nobody with Gamepass really cares that Microsoft was giving them two free games a month. There is already over 100 games and more every month to dig through.
@Lup We are losing nothing, we will still have access to the games Core has, just way more games and Day 1 games which will be very important with Starfield and moving forward. I have a strong feeling 2024 onwards Microsoft will be unleashing an onslaught of awesome games.
@Dan1283 Gold and Plus games aren't free. You do have to pay $10/month and keep paying it to play the "free" games. However if you have an Xbox why not pay the $15/month and get access to a lot of games?
By the CMA not approving this merger in a timely matter they are only hurting their citizens from getting Activision games on Gamepass. They are protecting a company who doesn't need protection, Sony. I hope they resolve this quickly
@InterceptorAlpha I paid for Dolby Atmos on my Xbox and can fine fine the headset. If you take them straight out of the box and don't touch any settings yeah they are bass heavy but who does that?
@Chaotic_Goat Is your Xbox out in the open or tucked behind anything? I had my Cricut Cutter in front of it and my Starfield Headset was having issues, as soon as I moved my Cutter somewhere else it has had no issues.
Once they get Grand Theft Auto VI I will be happy about announcements like this. Before they even announce GTA VI it seems they are just messing with us at this point.
@Banjo- It's made by the same developer so yes it has a microtransactions store. However it's not very pushy with it. I bought into the early access on Xbox.
@Banjo- I think if a new Banjo game would be made today by Microsoft I would like them to give it to Double Fine or Tango Gameworks to go crazy with some wild idea. The original team at Rare isn't with Rare anymore, so it would need some fresh blood injected into the project

That's an insult to the Xbox 360
Re: Quantum Error Dev: Xbox Version Needs More Time Due To 'Slower SSD'
Their only other game was released in 2019 Kings of Lorn: The Fall of Ebris and got a review average of 6/10
https://youtu.be/0Jqh1cBrYlQ
Also it looks a lot like this game just in a medieval setting
So if this never comes to Xbox nothing is value lost
Re: Quantum Error Dev: Xbox Version Needs More Time Due To 'Slower SSD'
My guess is since they've only made one other game they had aren't very good at developing games. The speed difference is not that crazy

If you can't put up with 30 fps then stop watching movies and tv shows. They are 24 fps.
