If the deal doesn't go through (it will) does Jim Ryan think Activision will be offering Sony a new cod deal at the end of the current one?...they will head straight to MS with all kinds of exclusivity nonsense and really let playstation have both barrels..
If the CMA are asking for public feedback maybe it shows how out of touch they really are with what's happening in the computer game(that's what they will call it in their offices) industry.
Should have guessed it would be the British investigation that would throw shade on the deal...good old UK out of touch with whats happening as per usual
Seems like there is a deliberate lull in gamepass at the moment almost as if MS are getting ready for GP to shift up a gear when the Activision deals gets the all clear,kind of like when the zenimax deal went through.
Watched it with my kids and thought it was a really really good show,some great looking games coming soon,really didn't get the negativity that I was reading on here last night.
On a side note regarding negativity Ive noticed that its usually the same people that are negative on here and then nip over to push square and post more negative Xbox comments.
Hopefully might hear something tomorrow but not holding my breath,although they did say some new announcements/surprises would be among the deep dives and gameplay in Tuesday's event.
Anyone got a problem with pacman museum just black screening a few seconds after launch?,installed and uninstalled it a few times on series x and its just not working
Wonder if the position sort of ties in with the gamepass streaming stick/smart TV app, space is quite limited in Japan especially for those that live in apartments, could imagine the stick/app doing well there and perhaps the space problem is why the series s is selling well
Gamepass built into new tvs/game pass streaming stick, MS pretty much confirmed that this would happen at some point this year during the xbox Bethesda round table talk(at least I think that was the event where it was mentioned)
On the start screen the version and calibration numbers have changed to 1.2.1 and everything seems fine with online at the moment signed straight in this morning, loads of player ghosts and messages in my game earlier.
@FraserG I didn't actually, I have had one reply and I sent them the info they required(screenshots of the punch card and my pre order) but I haven't had a reply and that was a few days ago.
@AhabSpampurse some early issues with ps5 regarding texture Pop in and frame rates and also long loading times, haven't read a series x review but I imagine similar issues, possibly fixed with an early patch.
Had my series x almost a year now and it really is a great console...tempted to stay up late on Thurs and play elden ring at midnight or just have Friday off work, genuinely excited to play it.
@jonnybuck84 read something by a games journalist that had been playing the various elden ring tests and he said could well be the game of a generation...im literally counting down the second until release.
Just watched a quick video of some gameplay and it looks like the cars are hovering just above the track and kind of floating from side to side when turning...
Just tried forza horizon 4 on xcloud via the browser and it's works with a wired controller, just press and hold start on the controller and there should be an option for browser or game controls.

Re: Xbox Is Hiring Production Manager To 'Work With Partners In Japan'
