Awesome! Still hoping we get Xbox Cloud gaming brought to iOS, PC and consoles soon but they don't seem to be mentioning it so probably still a way off
Minus all the EA ***** this could be even better than Fight Night.
I was sceptical of this right from the start but it seems like the people involved really know what they're doing here. Probably my most anticipated game at the moment tbf
@UltimateOtaku91 sometimes it's not about whether it could be made for older consoles but whether the developers want to. Could be a smaller team making it decided to just stick to one generation to make things easier.
I still like the idea of Stadia and am happy to have tried it occasionally since day 1 but their approach has been terrible.
From awful PR and a lack of transparency to now completely giving up their own game development ideas it's baffling to work out what the hell they were thinking throughout this.
The Little Nightmares 2 demo has renewed my excitement for that so when I'm finished with that I think I'm gonna go back through the first one as I never actually got round to finishing the DLC despite really enjoying the main game.
Definitely recommend people checking it out now it's on Games with Gold.
I'm sure we'll get one someday but it seems crazy to me that there isn't one already out or ready to go. Seems like Microsoft have been missing a trick on this one for a while now
It's been an exciting year for Xbox and this place has been great at giving us a platform to follow the news and just talk about Xbox and gaming in general in a fun and relaxed way.
The extensive library of games (old and new) ready to play is very nice, if a little overwhelming.
The speed at which the consoles power on and just work is probably my standout feature, surprisingly. I have the Series S in my bedroom and it's made my Roku stick redundant. Now I just use the Xbox for YouTube, Netflix, Now TV etc.
I've been playing a bit of Devil May Cry 5 and Mortal Kombat 11 lately. If my anger levels go up when I'm back to work tomorrow then violent video games are definitely to blame!
I'm actually pretty impressed by the improvements here. The new camera angle is nice (although obviously that could've just been put on the old versions) but the graphics are a nice step up and something about the gameplay does feel a bit more fluid

Woah. That's pretty insane

Re: Xbox Thriller Twelve Minutes Can Reach Up To 18 Hours In Length
Definitely sounds interesting. Been keeping an eye on it and will give it a go for sure

Re: CDPR Reveals Everything Included In Patch 1.2 For Cyberpunk 2077
That's a pretty incredible list there. To think there will almost certainly be many more bugs and things to fix after all of that is almost laughable.
Fair play to the people that are actually doing the work here, they can't be having an easy time right now. Massively feel for them
Re: Forget Halo, Lawn Mowing Simulator Is The Game We've Been Waiting For
🤨 This.. this is a thing?
Re: Asterix & Obelix Come To Life In A Cartoon Beat 'Em Up This Fall
@Krzzystuff yeah I'm not complaining. Some great games in the genre
Re: Asterix & Obelix Come To Life In A Cartoon Beat 'Em Up This Fall
Man, 2D beat 'em ups sure are back aren't they
Re: Microsoft Unveils Two Brand-New Xbox Series X Controllers
Ooooooooooh I like that volt one. I've resisted the urge to pick up an additional colour yet but they're tempting me again!!
Re: Halo Infinite Actor Suggests The Game Will Launch In November 2021
Yeah makes sense
Re: Hardware Review: Xbox Wireless Headset - Our Final Verdict
Wow. Wasn't expecting a review this deep and detailed tbh. Cheers, Liam. Appreciate all the photos too.
Sounds like what most people have been saying, for the price point and an official headset it seems like a good deal.
I've got an order in for a pair which should hopefully come next month. Looking forward to it.
Re: Wait, Is Microsoft Suddenly About To Rebrand Xbox Live?
Given that they bizarrely tried to increase the price just a few months ago, I'd be very surprised if they dropped Live Gold entirely now.
Re: EA Play Officially Joins Xbox Game Pass For PC Tomorrow
Nice little bonus (yet another) but not much here for me tbh.
Re: Hell Let Loose Brings Epic 50v50 Battles To Xbox Series X This Year

Re: Random: This Xbox Series X Espresso Machine Is The Thing Of Dreams
The mugs should be Cuphead and Mugman!
Re: Rare Seeking Senior Designer For Its Next Big Xbox Project Everwild
@mousieone I feel the same.
It's a shame because it's sad to dismiss new ideas and creativity but this all just seems pretty empty so far to me.
Re: OG Xbox Creator Wants To Know If You'd Buy A New Classic Console
Yes!
Make it happen please

Re: Poll: How Are You Finding Quick Resume On Xbox Series X|S So Far?
Too many issues with it at the moment, unfortunately.
It's a great feature and hopefully in a year or so's time it'll be perfect.
Re: Roundup: Here's What The Critics Are Saying About The Medium
Interesting to see the varied views here. It's another plus for Game Pass really.
Looking forward to giving it a go and if it's not for me then so be it.
Re: Warner Bros' Future Games Will Have 'A Heavy Focus On Live Service'
Warning, Bros.
Re: Microsoft Will Find 'Solution' To Increase Revenue Per Xbox User, Says Industry Analyst
It's pretty baffling who makes these decisions. The increase was bizarre, but it's almost more strange that they ditched the idea so quickly as well.
Re: Limbo Dev Playdead Is Working On A Third-Person Sci-Fi Adventure
Possibly my most anticipated game. The wait is hard but I believe it'll be worth it. Inside was just so good.
Re: Xbox Reveals The Reason Behind 'Awkward' Fall Guys Mix-Up
Seems like a plausible excuse to be fair. Although my guess would be it's still coming to Game Pass at some point.
Re: Pick One: Which Xbox Series X Controller Is Your Favourite So Far?
I like the white one that came with the Series S a lot. The standard black is nice too.
I want the blue (and red now!) but already have what must be near a dozen Xbox controllers already so can't really justify it at the moment 😂
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (Jan 16th)
The Little Nightmares 2 demo has renewed my excitement for that so when I'm finished with that I think I'm gonna go back through the first one as I never actually got round to finishing the DLC despite really enjoying the main game.
Definitely recommend people checking it out now it's on Games with Gold.
Re: Tales From The Borderlands Has Been Rated For Xbox Series X|S
Oooh yes please. One of Telltale's finest
Re: The Xbox Series X Is Getting A New Pulse Red Controller
Agree the back should be red

Ugh. Just make a new GTA already

Re: Poll: Will We See A New Banjo-Kazooie Game In 2021 Or Beyond?
I'm sure we'll get one someday but it seems crazy to me that there isn't one already out or ready to go. Seems like Microsoft have been missing a trick on this one for a while now
Re: These 20+ Games Are Coming To Xbox In January 2021
I'm trying not to get my hopes up too much but I do feel there's a fair amount of pressure on The Medium to be at least good.
Re: Here Are Your Xbox Games With Gold For January 2021
Happy for more people to get the chance to check out Little Nightmares.
It's not as perfect as something like Inside, but it has some brilliant moments that make it standout as a great game for me.
Re: Site News: Thank You For Your Fantastic Support In 2020
Cheers all.

Re: Rockstar Is Still ‘Absolutely’ Committed To Working On Single Player Stories
Well their actions say "absolutely not". Even more so when they mention trying to make more single player elements for online.
Re: Xbox Rival PlayStation Pulls Cyberpunk 2077 From Its Digital Store
Pretty incredible how this story is panning out and continuing to surprise us.
What on earth were the decision makers thinking when they decided to "go gold" and then go ahead with the release?!?
Re: The Medium Is Now Ready To Pre-Install With Xbox Game Pass
Yeah could do with this now after the disappointment of Cyberpunk!
Re: Nintendo Doesn't Seem Too Interested In Bringing Xbox Game Pass To Switch
It's still amazing that a guy called Bowser is running Nintendo 😂
Game Pass and xCloud on Switch would be amazing but it does seem pretty unlikely
Re: Talking Point: What's The Most Underrated Feature Of The Xbox Series X|S So Far?
The extensive library of games (old and new) ready to play is very nice, if a little overwhelming.
The speed at which the consoles power on and just work is probably my standout feature, surprisingly. I have the Series S in my bedroom and it's made my Roku stick redundant. Now I just use the Xbox for YouTube, Netflix, Now TV etc.
Re: Four More Games Are Now Available With Xbox Game Pass (Dec 10)

Re: Halo Infinite Will Launch In Fall 2021
Sounds about right I think. The problems with the game looked much deeper than just pushing it back a couple of months.
Re: New Xbox Feature Will Reveal Why Your Downloads Are Going Slow
Hmm. Until the quick resume feature is properly ironed out this seems a little unnecessary and half-baked.
Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Reportedly Features Visuals Capable Of Triggering Epileptic Seizures
Yeah that's pretty concerning tbf
Re: Roundup: Here's What The Critics Are Saying About Cyberpunk 2077
Knew who the Gamespot reviewer was as soon as I saw the score 😂
Re: Rumour: The Wolf Among Us 2 Could Be Shown At The Game Awards
Oooooh I hope so.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (Dec 5th)
I've been playing a bit of Devil May Cry 5 and Mortal Kombat 11 lately. If my anger levels go up when I'm back to work tomorrow then violent video games are definitely to blame!
Re: Xbox Is Listening To Your Feedback About Quick Resume On Series X|S
Must admit I'm a bit baffled that they needed feedback to realise this, but regardless it's still good to hear that improvements are in the works.

Re: FIFA 21, Madden NFL 21 Free Xbox Series X Upgrades Now Live

Re: Did You Know: Alexa Can Be Used To Control Your Xbox Series X
I did but it's not really something I'd ever use tbh.
Only time I make use of voice assistants like this is for sometimes changing music when I'm driving
