Don't get me wrong, YAY and I'll certainly pick one up on Xbox...

But this is Capcom. They'll point to these 2 games not selling as well on Xbox (despite arriving much later) as to why X game doesn't come to Xbox down the line.

I'm guessing just how supported it'll be depends on how well the DLC do.

I enjoyed it, I don't see the primary flaw I had being addressed (actually flying to planets) I'll be playing it again this month to get a NG+ ready for the DLC and starting a modded save once that's done.

I completely get why some don't like it but I love it (probably for exact the same reasons lol)

Looking forward to this but the second I saw the shutters close via a handle the player interacted with my brain went "this needs to be VR!"

I'm hoping this will be my next "audiobook" game

@Jenkinss @Dan1283 Problem is the companies know most of their LS games are going to die, it's that gambler mentality as they just need one to stick and start earning that Fortnite money.

Everytime something like Helldivers doesn't shrivel up in a few months after launch they think theirs still a chance for a mega-hit that'll print money for the next 15 years.

Considering the other rumour about MS looking to bring Activision Marvel games back for BC/Gamepass it would make sense they try and get Acti's Transformers games too.

I wouldn't be surprised if there are more "MS trying to get [insert Activision licenced game]" rumours pop up.

EDIT: Forgot Activision published Simpson Hit and Run, so that needs to happen.

Atlas Fallen.
Playing BG3 in co-op with the wife.
Getting a save ready for Starfield DLC.
Medieval Dynasty VR on Quest.

And HOPEFULLY some TTRPG goodness with Mutant Epoch.

@Neither_scene agreed. I wanted a new monitor as I couldn't keep stealing my PC one, and took a pint on a 1440 VRR one and it's been fantastic. More and more games have actually settings for 1440 (high five to the one good thing from Fallout 4's next gen update)
but most games end up gutting the graphics instead of resolution. Leaving us with uglier games in crystal clear 4k lol

See I think this is the reason why no one's been able to produce a direct CoD rival. It doesn't matter how many good the game is or if you manage to deliver what CoD players want, no matter how ma y users you pry away from CoD, a new CoD is round the corner and they'll leave your game to play that one.

With a 1440 monitor I am more than happy to take a resolution hit, than a graphical hit to get 60fps

I'm enjoying it, gives me weird 360 vibes (think is the chunky armour).

More Sniper Elite is good. I enjoy it in single-player and in "oh no, everything went wrong " co-op. So "more SE5" is fine by me.

Just finished the two VR games (waiting on ZA-VR) so I'll be needing that SE fix about then lol

@IssaBrvndo works about as well as what I currently doing, finding the largest ramp module and just cramming the car into it every time I want to leave a planet lol

I was expecting to use the 40FPS mode, so it's good that it is actually a nice middle ground.

It would be real nice if next-gen we didn't need these options.

ATM I want someone to make a mod that adds a module that has the REV docked to the ship (maybe hanging like the Pelicans in Halo) and then it be gone when the ship lands.

It slightly bothers me that my tiny ship has this whole car just tucked away somewhere

I want to know what this actually means. Like yes more Final Fantasy and SE games for Xbox (woo) but what dose it mean in practice? Will we get stuff we missed like the 7 remakes and 16 or just that going forward we won't get skipped?

Yeah I don't believe Microsoft is all too bothered. "But games skipping Xbox is bad for consoles" true but so is dropping exclusives. I refuse to believe "classic capcom games skip Xbox" dose more damage than "Xbox first party games coming to PS5"

@Decoy_Snake I suspect its "the MT issues prevents an Xbox version" and more "it cost more to port these games to Xbox than they earn because of the MT issue"

New Coffee Talk spin-off, I'm happy.

I wonder if Suicide Squad Deluxe is actually the game. It's been in the sales a few times and its just the upgrade, not the game.

Not that I would pay to play a game that's certainly getting its plug pulled when its finishes the year.

Looks good.

Still not happy about the party count going to 3. I'm sure its going to have an effect on who I pick and how I build the characters.

I do like the options 'seems' to be just reducing the frame rate to hit 60fps. (I have a 1440p monitor)

I dislike that most performance modes are turning off most of the graphical effects. I bought a series X I want the games to look better than on my One X. Note: I'm not saying graphics are more important, I would just like the option of reduces res not graphics to get the those extra frames.

It has been getting some good offers lately which seems to happen before they hit GP

A co-op survival game based on an interdimensional choo-choo train? I'm so in.

Pass.

I only got the Starfield one because I knew the web would be filled with spoilers before launch.

I am less concerned about that with Indy, It's indy the formula for it's storytelling is pretty established.

@Kezelpaso @GamingFan4Lyf Yeah you don't get to spend that much of your business daddy's cash and not have them breathing down your neck to make good.

This is a great move for Microsoft, terrible move for Xbox. Confirming a PS5 release before the game is even out creates the expectation that if you don't have an Xbox and if there's an Xbox game you want to play... just wait.

And gamers are happy to wait for sales and possible GP/PSN+ releases, so waiting so they don't have to drop cash on a different consoles is going to be easy.

As I noted the other day. I fully support a platform agnostic future, but being the only company offering up its first party games ISNT that.

@Tasuki Sounds like it. It's certainly set in Sicily

Don't get me wrong, YES! but It would also be nice for the definitive trilogy to get a next-gen update (and for Mafia 2 to get some actual work done to it)

@OldGamer999 No, it was part of that "paid upgrade" that let you play early so it's not part of GPU.

Kinda surprised the buggy got this full trailer and the DLC got a quick announcement.

Got the nagging feeling this is going to be a creation

On the one hand, a mixture of Dungeon Keeper and Black & White sounds interesting but on the other, Molyneux is just a walking red flag at this point.

I look forward to it, always enjoy SE games. Doesn't look like an "all-new" game but hey, "MOAR SE" isn't a bad thing.

Hoping for some interesting reveals from across the industry (hate it when these non-platform shows are heavily tilted towards one platform)

@MjJmediablogger I'm in a similar boat. Not knowing the "rules" for Xbox's multiplatform plans at the moment is far more off-putting than them "pulling a Sega".

I fully support the idea of a platform-agnostic environment but that ONLY works if everyone is doing it, if they aren't... well It's going to go for as well for Xbox as "buying third-party exclusives" during the start of the X1 era. Just made it possible for Sony to buy all the exclusives and extra content for less.

The "Console Wars" nonsense was exactly but this just feels like folding. We need competition between the platforms to make them better.

Legit forgot Atomic Heart was still on GP but I gave up after a bug with the ball boss fight required a full restart, I uninstalled played something else came back to the game and
the bug happened again when I reached the fight again.

Loved it. It was nice having pacing in a crime story (compared to GTA, SR, LaD, etc) because it's not worried about open world shenanigans

Did feel like the story skips over stuff. It's weird for a story that is essentially a man trying to save his family, and we never see his kid.

It does seem weird to me, in light of the whole "creation club" thing there does seem to be a "path" to these getting standalone, official console releases and Xbox is just sitting on it's thumbs. Granted with Fallout London there's going to be some concern about people seeing it as a "proper Fallout game" and expect it to be canon but this is different. It's a remake of an existing game and whatever it'll cost MS to get it done is going to be significantly less than doing it themselves and keeps the Bethesda team working on their games.

And it would keep the IPs going whilst Bethesda takes it's time with ES6.

@jesse_dylan Not really. Each game in the series has a different setting and features. The only reason they get delisted is because the car companies (and music artists) only let them sell the game for so many years before they have to pull it or spend a lot resecuring the rights.

In theory, I shouldn't have to I bought the DLC, I should be entitled to a free code but so far nothing.

I want it so if a bundle is discounted but you own part of the bundle, the price is reduced acordigly. The quest store works like this and it's great. I really hate being punished for actually owning content already.

I'm sure discovery could be improved, as it always needs improving

Microsoft really needs to confirm some sort of ground rules for their multiformat plans. I know people who traditionally are multi console folk but now are so sure that "most xbox games will come to PS eventually" they aren't buying an Xbox this gen.

These are people who would 100% sign up to gamepass to restart their Xbox library and simply forget to unsub.

I'm starting to get that feeling from last gen where it seems Xbox has just given up trying this gen, faffing around in the short term in the hopes or making more money in the long term. Which hey makes sense... except we're in that previous "long term" now and we're been having patience for nearly a decade

(Pretty sure its not) Ironically, This is the first two point game I 'm not instantly sold on and kinda need it to be on GP (or, you know, a demo) to see if I like it.

Good timing though, it's been long enough since galaticare (enjoyed that more than I was expecting to) that I'm about ready for another management sim.

@Romans12 lol. Felt like it. It didn't go live till half 6 in the end

Mafia doesn't seem to be up yet.

Looking forward to it. Enjoyed 2 and 3, tried the original when it first came out and didn't get on with it but I'm looking forward to giving it a shot

First thought, yay Tango is saved.

Second thought, shocked MS gave up IP

Local coop is how I play Xbox with my kids.

I am not buying them each an xbox, games, and core. I'm just not.

One simple twist will make fans enjoy it more.

It's an in universe film butchering the events of the first two games.m being watched by the game characters

I'm still not entirely sure how this is supposed to be a thing or how its supposed to play out.

Why should Joe public use MS' alt appstore over the ones that actually come with their devices? Cloud games? Native game ports seems chatoic considering the range of abdroid devices and indervidual quirks of OS builds.
People didn't want a MS appstore when they was using windows phone, why would they want this now?

I'm guessing the long term plan is to pull the content from the other appstores and expect the folks playing candy crush to migrate to it.

I'd feel bad. The only reason I'm paying any attention to CoD this year is because its coming to GP. The single player/co-op content rarely justifies the RRP for me.

The X1 generation was filled with these droughts and whilst gamepass has helped address that there is this constant feeling that other platforms are getting constant games whilst we wait for a smattering of releases shouldn't be lingering now 4 years into this generation (and now that Xbox has 30 studios). It's reminding me more and more of the Dreamcast and Wii U.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Fallout 4 next-gen update was intended for then after Starfield delayed it. It would explain why it launched so busted and why it wasn't like Skyrim NG getting the bundle with all the creations.
