@thejameswhogames If you've not had an Xbox One then getting a Series X or S is the better system even just for Game Pass as you'll have like 200+ games with a bunch looking better on the new systems and you can go back to stuff like Sunset Overdrive that you've missed
@BlueOcean Not sure how many of the 1st party PlayStation Studio games we will see on PC
The timed stuff from others is only really good for people like me, as I get to play Godfall right away and The Medium right away but can see it being annoying for some or swinging them one way as has me as I'm interested in three of the timed exclusives on PlayStation compared to just the one on Xbox this year that we know of
@thejameswhogames Where reports it was coming to PC but then after it seems with a mix-up of a video, that is coming to PS5 only.
EDIT just seen the rumours of Demons of PS4 from a store in Hungry, seems odd not to announce it for PS4 when others have such as
The PS4 & PS5 games are confirmed are Miles Morales, Sackboy, Horizon Forbidden West from 1st party then you do have the indies like Bugsnax and Goodbye Volcano High which are PS4/PS5 also sometimes PC as well
As someone that doesn't have a PS4 as I sold mine during lockdown as going for a pretty penny on eBay. That I've got on day one like 6+ new games on the PS5 where on Series X as I have a One X which is my main system why I didn't sell during lockdown there's not a lot of new games at the minute
I'm just really waiting for Halo or another big Xbox game I want to look as good as it can which means playing on a XSX over a One X or a handful of games like The Medium that are just on Series X|S.
@BlueOcean Yep Zelda is my fav series and I loathe BotW
@Xiovanni Yep why I'm waiting on the Series X as I've played likes of Gears 5, a lot of 3rd party stuff (which I can get on PS5), where on PS5 I got Miles (I don't have a PS4 sold during lockdown when going for a decent amount of money), Demons, Godfall, Sackboy and don't forget Bugsnax on day one with Ratchet in the launch window
Just waiting for that Halo or another big Xbox game which I want to look best it can or a handful Series only games such as The Medium
@Friendly personally feel BotW is maybe the most overrated game ever, also it's on WiiU (where I do own it) so something like Miles Morales is in a similar position to it in that regards. I think Demons Souls will be the closet to it from a critical standpoint.
Big fan of Halo, bought Metroid Prime for my Cube thinking it be Nintendo's Halo. I was very wrong and such a different game

So yeah about 50% more on Xbox but I would think likes of War Thunder, WRC will be confirmed for PS5 launch now they've been confirmed for Xbox Series X|S. That I would think they'll end up being about the same.
OG Xbox Black OG Xbox Crystal Xbox 360 Core Xbox 360 Elite Xbox 360 Slim Xbox One Xbox One Xbox One Forza Blue Xbox One S Xbox One X
Had those at least then had a market stall where I would have owned Xboxes and got a OG Xbox Crystal at the moment in my collection that I picked up at a boot sale
COD Cold War is almost a launch game as it's out November 13th, just remember at retail it's a Series X game (NBA 2K21 is the same deal) and digital you have to get the cross-gen version to get the upgrade or buy the Series X|S designed version
@BlueOcean Yeah, can't wait for them look at Immortals Fenyx Rising as it be on PS4, PS4 Pro, PS5, Xbox One, One X, Series S, Series S, Switch, Stadia, PC
@BlueOcean you say it was assumed but seems it wasn't by some (by the accounts, die hard Xbox fans) and isn't just textures as we have the asset example with the crowd or weather, where the replies etc I got were on lines it be exactly the same even though MS saying up to the devs.
As the interview puts it "Does that matter? And is that really the experience that's aimed at that person that has spent £250 buying a Series S?"
And I think the S will be a huge success, but I was pointing out why I was getting an X at the time
@BlueOcean I tweeted similar to what you're saying and had reply after reply saying S will be the same as X but in 1440p, yet this interview and even some Microsoft wording says stuff about assets like in this case with Dirt 5, "the amount of crowd or intensity of weather or shadow quality"
Yes isn't that the whole point of the Series name and no generations any more, that this is now Xbox (from what Spencer said about it actually called Xbox now), and we might see a Series S less power but more affordable, a Series XD which is a Digital only Series X and so on like a iPhone.
I've lost some enthusiasm for the Series X at launch due to lack of Halo.
It's great what MS are doing and I can just play what I've got on my One X but I can't see me going back to Gears 5 etc.
I love Game Pass as well but I don't think the 2020 games coming such as Tetris Effect or Call of the Sea are really going to push the Series X that much more than my One X.
That the real only benefit for myself is it be the best place to play Assassin's Creed, Madden, Cyberpunk etc but as I plan to get a PS5 and sure they won't be as good on that as XSX but still be better on PS5 than my One X.
That for now, I'll be sticking with my One X playing those Game Pass games and waiting to see when Halo arrives, and if it brings a special edition console along with it
Hmm see at the moment I pay for Game Pass Ultimate because I get online and game pass but if online were to become free I for instance would just sub to Game Pass and got to be a lot of people that do that and has to be still a lot of people that still sub just to Gold
If I had to guess they'll come a yearly Game Pass Ultimate option instead

Re: Xbox Throws Shade At PS5 Following Spider-Man Upgrade Debacle
It's one remaster game thing. Where the PS4 games are getting free upgrade and are all the 3rd party games are such as Dirt 5 like on Xbox
Now if we start seeing a bunch of remasters for 1st party games that on Xbox would just be free upgrades then yeah can see the issue
