Perhaps I need to read the article but how will I be able to play all the games I have bought on the the X Box store on a Playstation 5 or a Nintendo Switch 2?
@XxEvilAshxX Hopefully Turn 10 are listening to the criticism regarding lack of new and old tracks and in the future we will see them. We can only hope.
As some others have said it needs more tracks, LOADS more tracks. Having said that I play it almost daily as the game now has daily/weekly challenges and the game looks amazing on my Series X in HDR when doing night races. Don't have a PS5 and GT7 so cannot compare the two and got the game for £10 so can't complain.
I plan on picking up a second hand copy of COD Black Ops Cold War on disc from CEX here in the UK for £15 in the next few days but digitally it is still expensive. Giving consumers a choice is very important.
Forza Horizon 4 comes out and "It's not better than 3". Forza Horizon 5 comes out and "It's not better than 4". Forza Horizon 6 comes out and "It's not better than 5"...
I have said it before and I will say it again as long as Microsoft continue to make consoles I will continue to buy them as I am fully in the Xbox ecosystem as I have bought loads of games. I have been lucky enough to have got many games for free too thanks to Microsoft rewards and as long Microsoft Rewards is a thing and they continue to develop new consoles and I will buy them period. If however AAA game franchises such as the Forza Horizon come out day one for Playstation that may change. I don't see that happening though.
It still crashes and sends me back to the dashboard (or even switches the console off sometimes) but the game looks and plays great and with more cars and tracks is getting better and better.
Well to be honest I do not have a Switch yet but plan to buy one at Black Friday and then it will be for the Nintendo exclusives and the third party games and the indie games I will buy on my Series X.
Even if I was rich I would never pay that much money for a controller, ever. I have not yet got controller drift on any joypads I have bought for my Xbox, maybe I have just been lucky.
Personally I cannot really complain that Microsoft are doing this as I have over the past 7 or 8 years got a lot of games on their store for sometimes nothing or pennies. It was good while it lasted.
If Microsoft were truly focused and committed to selling Xbox consoles all there games would be exclusively on Xbox only and not on PlayStation 5 or Nintendo Switch.
I got this earlier this month from Argos for just £9.99 and I have been playing on and off everyday. The game needs more tracks I feel, but the handling of the cars and the HDR is brilliant especially the night time races and the graphics are much more colourful but the game needs more cars and tracks definitely.
Well buying a PS5 Slim in the November sales so I will buy it sometime in the future I guess. I played a lot of these games in the arcade (especially Marvel Superheroes and X Men Vs Streetfighter) so definitely going to get this collection. Played Marvel Vs Capcom 2 on Dreamcast too. This really is an excellent collection, no pun intended.
All have been good except 360 which of course had the red ring of death. Original Xbox fine, Xbox One S & X again no issues. Currently have a Series X and it runs perfectly.
Nobody slaughter me for saying this, but I am really not a fan of the black borders for this game. Is this an artistic decision or are they using that as an excuse because technically the hardware cannot handle the game full screen? I have the first game but did not compete it and will pick this up when it goes on sale in 12/18 months as I never pay full price for a game.
Negative rumours for a game or console are extremely damaging for any brand and those who spread them are an absolute disgrace. I am really looking forward to this Summer and all the game showcases to come from Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft.
I have an Xbox Series X and I love it. However, if in the future the Forza games and other Xbox games go to the Playstation there will be little point in buying a next gen Xbox console I will just buy a Playstaion 6.
@Chrisajax I am not a Sony Playstation owner I have an Xbox Series X just making light of the fact that I will probably be disappointed, but who knows?
No, as I currently have a Xbox Series X and a load of 360 and Xbox/Series X games on disc that I have and I also use my series X as a 4K/Blu-ray player.
I have been waiting for this game for months! Finally it's coming out, the FPS genre is my favourite and I have never played the original game so looking forward to this.
Bloody hell, my original wishlist was wiped about 4 days ago so I grudgingly created a new one and now that has gone accept for some reason one game which I OWN. Microsoft, SORT YOUR S**** OUT. I am not doing another one.
If Nintendo and Microsoft had to respond to silly and stupid rumours they would have to make press statements every other day which would be ridiculous.
As long as Microsoft continues to make and sell consoles, I will continue to buy them as it is the only console I own due to financial constraints and I am quite happy to do so.
Play it nearly every day to collect/win all the cars I don't yet have. Still think Forza Horizon 4 is better but 5 is still excellent. Looking forward to 6 and set in Japan or China maybe?
I am playing the the Resident Evil 2 Remake for the first time and I must admit I found the game a bit of a struggle at first not much ammo and even the vanilla zombies were hard to beat. Completed the game last week and I am now playing through the game with Claire.
Play a campaign every 12 months and currently playing through Halo 4 on Heroic. I have the collection installed all the time on a Samsung T7 SSD 1 TB Drive and the whole collection looks and plays lovely on my Series X.
I highly recommend both the collection and the SSD Drive to anyone who don't yet have them.
