Shows how big Bethesda are having to be mentioned in the title. I'm really looking forward to this one and seeing Starfield and hopefully something from id Software

@Rural-Bandit let's be fair, it's on the charts that Xbox exec's were sharing and whilst I accept Playstation and Xbox are closer competitors there will be people who play Switch over the others. The generation argument is largely meaningless and there's no reason to ignore it

Market leader in so much that Switch outsold it, I'm bemused as to why they deliberately try to ignore the other console.

Thing is for Xbox and PS5, their sales are limited to availability and to which comes out on top but it seems PS5 is more sought-after. Still it's great to see Xbox doing so well given how the Xbox One stalled so badly and its better for the industry to have 3 healthy competitors

Given how difficult I found it to buy Sonic 3 off the Xbox store they should just leave them there, surely the improvements sell the new versions anyway and on Switch they are leaving the Sega Ages versions of 1 and 2 which are better than these.

It'd just be unused, I mean I have 32GB in my PC and half of that is unused pretty much all of the time, regardless of the game and settings

Of all the big acquisitions, this is the one I couldn't care less about, Assassin's Creed and Farcry are bloated and boring frankly but if someone can take over them and get them out of their awful open world design and tendency to abuse their employees then that can only be a good thing

@Grumblevolcano Judgement was Series X only and had a nicer case than this, I think it was also the only Series X game that could be played without an Internet connection

@S1ayeR74 we're talking about the move controllers. You'd hold one in each hand the same as the joy cons but with much more reliable aiming as it has a point of reference

YouTube and these copyright claims are utterly ridiculous and it needs to stop, it works backwards for a start, they should have to prove you've broken copyright and or fair usage

@S1ayeR74 for this type of game I agree with @Would_you_kindly the Move controllers and the wii mote are much better and far more accurate.

Sadly the Xbox version will be the weakest to play because of the controller options, PC will be the best with mouse support so I'll be able to use the Sinden lightgun, PS is getting move support

@Rural-Bandit I've got a 3060ti and it's a different world to what the consoles can do RT wise and the rumoured performance of the 40 series could move those goalposts, so I don't see them ever getting near PC performance. Still if either of them or AMD can introduce dedicated hardware for RT acceleration then they could still get a notable jump in performance over what they have now.

As for TV's I got the Samsung KS7000 back when it launched some 5 or 6 years ago and even today its rarely used to its full potential most of the time. Gaming wise it's been good with the PS4 Pro, One X and beyond but even many 4K blu rays I've found to be disappointing visually

@Rural-Bandit I don't see 8K being mainstream for a very long time, it'd certainly be a huge waste of resources for gaming. Here in the UK and I suspect elsewhere, we still have sub 1080p TV signals as standard, with 1080p being an optional upgrade

@Medic_Alert I think ray tracing is the only tangible upgrade for the X or PS5, obviously they have that now but their capabilities are incredibly limited. As you said though what would you call it and what would it mean for the Series S?

Never used it as my PC is significantly more powerful than my Xbox so have no need to stream games from it

I don't see why it would make any difference, they'd just make the new chips instead of the ones they already are, these are just AMD CPU and GPU's after all. The complication is the Series S, as if you have a Series X and then a higher spec on top of that then surely at some point the S is going to have to be left behind

I'm hoping for a Steam version with mouse controls so I can use my Sinden Lightgun on it

I have an Xbox and have no interest in Activision games on Gamespass

I'd give it an 8 so far, only done one Episode so we'll see how it goes but the open areas seem to be really good and a nice mix with the traditional levels

Funny to think that judging by the reviews, that you can emulate it on Xbox better than Square can with the official release

Lego Star Wars is already sat on my Xbox, I had £10 worth of Microsoft rewards and got £5 of that back instantly, so a pretty good deal all round I'd say

The original Doom with ray tracing and probably some more Kirby and Elden Ring

@clvr I'm not a big multiplayer guy so mainly played the campaign of Infinite.

In terms of the other Halo games, they were pretty revolutionary 20 years ago but yeah I don't imagine they'd hold up well to newcomers today, even I found them to drag a bit

@clvr going from the recent Doom ganes to Halo felt like going backwards 10 years, I dropped Halo pretty quickly but can't wait to play what Id come up woth next

Much more so then newer games, I use my Series S primarily for playing these older games such as Rare Replay, Panzer Dragoon Orta, Dead or Alive 2 and Radiant Silvergun. For modern titles I have a good gaming PC

With Zelda gone this is now the big game of the year for me, can't wait to play it

I think Gold should just be dropped altogether, its rather stupid paying for multiplayer because you bought their hardware but the same games on PC are free

@Bleachedsmiles I believe its because the online part is free with Playstation at the moment and Rockstar are calculating that as half of the cost for some reason despite being monetised to death

For Rockstar to not be able to get a locked 60fps out of any of these consoles is a bit of a joke, on PC 60fps is easily achieved on pretty modest hardware by today's standards, I think I could technically do it using the integrated graphics on my CPU. They must have been too busy thinking of how to fleece their suckers, sorry customers some more

Something on the Atari 2600, I certainly remember the likes of Space Invaders, Pacman, Asteroids and Crystal Castles being very early gaming memories

@Kopite never gonna happen

Plenty of games are always releasing and they will pretty much always find their market regardless of each other, most of thos talk is just fanboy nonsense as they're desperate for whatever platform exclusive to fail so they can get a few Twitter likes.

For myself I couldn't care less about Harry Potter, I never read the books and have seen some of the films but only really enjoyed one of them. Where as Starfield is a game I've been looking forward to for some time as a fan of Elder Scrolls and Fallout

No single player game should require an online connection to play and specifically for Xbox we should be able to buy Series X games on disc. As good as smart delivery is, I have no desire to ever put a Series X game into an Xbox One

How? I've had an RX480 easily blasting past 60fps, this is just sheer incompetence from Rockstar who can't get an Xbox 360 game running well on a Series S

@Leprecorn I dunno, Modern Vintage Gamer who works for them and did the Quake Switch port seemed pretty surprised by the leak

@Snake_V5 I wouldn't put money on it, I'd assume its still Nintendo's game with maybe RARE having a stake in it, this feels like a collaboration between Microsoft and Nintendo to get this game out

It'd be a shame if it's the N64 original rather than the XBLA remake

@Toner1984 it's no secret that Microsoft are obviously going to put what are perceived bigger games onto Gamepass but regardless of age that is still a great game

@Toner1984 AAA doesn't mean a game is better or more worthwhile, Persona Strikers is a good game but I wouldn't say ots better than Radiant Silvergun

@BANJO Happy New Year 😆

@Carck Radiant Silvergun is as good as anything I've seen offered on Plus or Gold for years, a truly excellent game, just one I already owned

@BAMozzy I'm with you, though I think Radiant Silvergun is a great addition I already own it and I honestly can't remember the last game I added from either service as I just have too much I want to play

I don't normally pay too much attention to Gold or Plus games but Radiant Silvergun is the best game I've seen on either service for quite some time and Space Invaders Infinity looks like being great fun too

Why do they need to cost so much? I can buy full games for that price, its utterly ridiculous. Sure change for skins in a f2p game but why not just a few $/£ and volume of sales can make up the difference.

I'd rather just buy a game and have all the content accessible/unlockable

@StonyKL yeah the cutscenes are sadly a bit of a step down from Halo 5 and certainly not as smooth as the gameplay

I've only done the first mission but it's immediately apparent that the controls and gameplay are very very good. Fingers crossed the missions hold up just as well

Shame they couldn't delay it for a year to have it ready for launch 🤔

So I still have to download the multiplayer first before I can remove it? MCC is a bit of a pain as whilst you can remove parts you don't want, you still have to have that much space free initially

The Xbox UI is the best of the 3, I can organise my games exactly how I want to which is the most important aspect for me. I can easily find all my digitally owned games and don't have to worry about save files as that's taken care of for me. Plus if I move to another Xbox, everything is exactly as I set it up

The PS5 UI is pretty but a bit rubbish and the worst I've used on a console, for a while it couldn't tell the difference between a PS4 or PS5 game, my library included every game I've ever played disc or otherwise and then I had to dig through menu's to find my save files

Then the Switch is fine due to it being functional and simplistic, I'd still prefer a way to sort my games properly though

I did some of these this morning, playing Hades and Scarlet Nexus. Both are great games which I may not have even tried had it not being for this and Gamepass

I'm sick of hearing about "progression" just play the game and have fun with it for crying out loud. Far too many these days just play a gane to death when it comes out and then moan about it, go play something else inbetween and keep it fresh. I've been playing Sega Rally for the best part of 30 years and it's only got 4 tracks yet I'm not bored with it
