@__jamiie most of the time music is the issue with games not being released again or even being removed from store. I would love for studios to find a way to sort this out.
@WCB they could also relase story expansion through DLC, this would be way faster. I've finished it in two play times 3 hours each. I want more The Medium, it's a great game.
@GamingFan4Lyf this is really common in all platforms. See, I've finished Gravity Rush 1 & 2 on PS4 and both from the second story achievment onward were all rare trophies, days gone were most of them uncommon. Those 3 games on PS4 I played and finished last year. I noticed that on gears 5 DLC, but I played it at lauch so I can't say.
What I think is that there are more people that left their games unfinished then we can imagine, that's why we have so many uncommon or rare achievments / trophies.
@Blessed_Koz Yeah, that's something they can also do. But every time they add something new to XGPU the base tier looks more and more like a waste of money to invest in, as XGPU gives us so much more for the money. That's why I said that, but we never know, it will depend of how many people subscribe to XGP vs XGPU in the end.
I think price will go up when their new generation first party releases like perfect dark, fable, halo infinite and others become available on the service. Also, I think Microsoft will ditch the base game pass tier and xbox live gold and have xbox game pass ultimate as the only all-in-one subscription, rebranding it as Xbox Game Pass only, as base tier will be gone.
@Generik I don't think there is a Sony exclusivity deal or something like that. If there was they wouldn't be talking so open about bring to other platforms.
I think the reason it is not on Xbox is simply because they didn't had enough money to ship an online game in multiple platforms at the same time so they choose the one with more players to release first.
It doesn't matter if he does cooking mostly. He could simply thanks for the gift and move on, actually he didn't even need to show it on his channel. This guy is a complete jerk.
@carlos82 if I recall correctly Forza Horizon 4 was announced in June 2018 and Released October 2018. There was no word on it before. Also Playground Games has 2 teams, one for Forza and other RPG team with Fable. You can check this out here: https://twitter.com/WeArePlayground/status/1275056678367449091?s=19
All Bethesda said was people should be patient for starfield, they never said how long would take to release.
Obsidian confirmed to be working on 4 projects simultaneously.
The Outer Worlds Avowed Grounded Unannounced AAA
This is technically 3 AAA Games at the same time. They got really big after Microsoft acquisition, they're hiring nonstop.
@carlos82 Forza Horizon 5, Starfield and Wolfenstein are all made by different studios, I don't see why they couldn't release in the same year.
Forza Horizon 2 - Released September 2014 Forza Horizon 3 - Released September 2016 Forza Horizon 4 - Released October 2018
So all FH games release in a 2-year time window, the fact FH5 didnt release yet means it will release in 2021, maybe even early 2021.
Skyrim was announced in 2010 and released 2011, with means Bethesda announced the game when it was almost ready. Starfield was announced in E3 2018 so they might be close to release as well.
Wolfenstein New Order: 2014 Wolfenstein: The Old Blood: 2015 Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus: 2017 Wolfenstein: Youngblood: 2019
The latest Wolfenstein games all released in a 2-year time frame, so I can't see either why it wouldn't launch in 2021.
Obsidian is not "magically" big enough. They're hiring since Microsoft acquired them. They're big enough to be working on Avowed, The Outer Worlds and Ground all at the same time. I'm pretty sure they have enough people on the team to work on 3 AAA projects at the same time. By the way, Obsidian design director had already confirmed they were working on another new project (That was not Avowed). So basically obsidian is currently working on 4 projects at the same time. They can handle it.
But before we get on next gen vs base consoles, here is some extra information about my time playing:
Despite performance being a little better, I was subject to the same bugs and glitches(had lots of graphical glitches, they just don't bother me enought to stop playing) than the base consoles (The one bug I need to restart the mission was later on patch notes for 1.05 for Xbox One) as there is no next-gen upgrade so far, so basically I am running Xbox One Fat / Xbox One S version through backwards compatibility.
@UltimateOtaku91 from my part CDPR needs a huge thanks. I finished the story, 30h of campaing and loved it. I almost experienced no bugs on my playthrough, had only 1 crash, and 1 bug that I need to restart part of a mission, but nothing I hadn't found on other games. Game was great to me, I don't feel deceived at all.
Quick Resume it's just so amazing. When I saw it frist being demoed I thought "Well, I won't be changing between games so frequently like that" but when I started playing on Series S I realized how useful it was. I started playing Haven and when I was tired I simply turned of the console and went to sleep. Next day, it took less than 7 seconds to wake series S and be gaming, not splash screen or menu, to literally being controlling the characters. It is just insane fast.
When the first rumour about this came out I wasn't looking forward much because I never played the game before. Then I decided to play it on Xbox through BC and finished the game. After that, I started to be more excited about the rumours. I'm really happy it's now confirmed and to know we'll be able to play this day one on game pass is amazing as well.
@endlessleep if they ever get back to scalebound I hope they don't put this in platinum hands ever again. They had their chance and screwed it. Hideki Kamiya is not the kind of professional to trust an ip with.
I can agree on Atelier tho. Hope they bring all games to Xbox. It's great.
@Menchi honestly I never heard of it. Usually they go with Dynamic resolution or Dynamic Texture or something else.
Anyway, here is the full sentence: "while Dynamic Visuals and Physics will provide a more dynamic and interactive world with grass and trees responding to explosions, enhanced fluid simulations for smoke and liquid (cooler-looking smoke and liquid effects), and all-new Storm and cloud effects."
@Menchi what are you talking about? Dynamic Visuals, as stated on the article, means that the visuals and physics will react more realistically do things like grass and trees reacting to explosions. I don't know how that is a bad thing.
Just in case some people may be thinking it is a kids game , because his daughter was playing it, Drew has a post from may saying this same girl saw him playing doom and said it was a "Intense" game. So maybe he don't have a problem with his daughter playing more mature games.
On a personal note tho, I don't mind if it is an all ages or mature game, as long as its a good game I'm all in.
@TheGamerKing PS5 has 9TF as stated by sony itself. PS5 reach 10TF in boost mode, that will not be used at all times. Just watch Mark Cerny presentation, he said it himself.
Well, the same could be said of his 9TF PS5 that can go as low as 5TF in some cases as stated by some developers. His own PS5 that is having trouble running Resident Evil 8, his own PS5 whose ran Unreal Engine 5 tech demo at 1440p 30fps. PS5 competitor is called Xbox Series S, Series X is in a league of its own.
@FraserG From the microsft website I can only purchase 3 or 6 months in Brazil. 12 months is unavailable. I guess they're referring to pre-paid cards, at least for the 12 months.
I'm fine, the only game on that list that picked my interest was RDR2, but I already have it retail. Currently playing wasteland 3, rise of tomb raider, and waiting for the episode 2 of tell me why
@Menchi because even if controller is suported doesn't mean in game icons layouts have to change, they could have gone with something generic like a white circle icon to display the corresponding button position to press, but they actually show the 'A', 'B', 'RT', 'LT' buttons and so on. That means the studio gave attention to this fiture insted of using a half-baked generic support
@Jaxx420 Spiderman miles morales game was confirmed to have half of the length of the original PS4 title. yes, it's a standalone DLC just like Uncharted lost legacy.
"You’ll experience a full story arc with Miles, one that’s more akin to a game like Uncharted: The Lost Legacy in terms of overall scope." - Brian Horton, Spidereman Miles Morales Creative Director
@Ricoche I agree. Games on game pass usually stays lots of time, some stays a whole year. But there is also the point of the pople who just subscribed, they will have just a few days to experience those games. It all depends.
@abe_hikura Ghostwire is timed exclusive on console for PS5. You can check it out on PlayStation official YouTube channel. The video for the Ghostwire trailers states at the end that it is a timed exclusive.
I don't know why people are saying Microsoft doesn't want the service to be associated with Xbox. Those people know what that logo before the words "Game Pass" stands for, right?!
There was no change to the name of the service, they just replaced the name for the logo, that's all.
