I hope it comes to Xbox too like fallout shelter

I’ll def get the standard edition

@Snake_V5 returnal 86, miles morales 85, Rift apart 88, forbidden west 88, gt 7 87, I could keep going but I think you see what I mean. Might should fact check before you say all Sony 1st party exclusives are 90+ meta cause the truth is this gen hardly any of them are. Guess those are all mediocre too

Didn’t qb get critically panned for the live action parts? I wonder if this gets the same treatment

In all seriousness they made some of the best point and click adventure games of all time in deponia and Edna & Harvey. They will be missed. Rip

Watch the 4k trailer. It looks a lot better unless you mean the gameplay in general and not the graphics

I read the digital foundry article and why in the heck does series s have the same dynamic 1440p on quality and performance as series x and ps5. Would get much better performance probably even 60fps if they dropped it to dynamic 1080p

They should give Microsoft points if the referral subs to gamepass after the trial ends. Guarantee you this would be a major hit then.

Same with me @blackmayge. It was an absolute masterpiece

If Sony does it then yes it’s needed. The power narrative was one of the many things holding Xbox back last gen. Best not to have that same narrative again so Sony can build even more of a gap in user base.

I just hope they don’t do the same 12 months format. Make it like the old e3 presentations to build hype

@bbb @kaloudz same here. Dead island was one of my fav series on 360. Even moreso than dying light even tho I know that was made by the original developers. Can’t wait for this. Day 1 buy

@Sol4ris I mean just cause a couple recent releases perform better on ps5 doesn’t mean Microsoft lied or the ps5 is more powerful. Have we forgotten deadspace already? The series x looked much better since it had system level vrs that the ps5 had software based. Ps5 owners complained so they removed the feature on both for parity sake. Or take the newest plague tale for example it was dramatically better on series x according to digital foundry. I think it really boils down to what the lead platform is.

Disappointed the new level 5 game is skipping Xbox but coming to ps and switch. I thought with ni no Kuni releasing last year we might see more games from them on Xbox.

It’s a system level upscaling feature I thought that does it for any backwards compatibility game. https://www.gamespot.com/amp-articles/how-xbox-series-x-backwards-compatibility-works/1100-6483246/

But how will PlayStation fanboys use uk boxed sales as proof Xbox people don’t buy games/game pass is bad if this is true lol

Contrast and pillars of eternity 2 are 1st party now are they not? First party games don’t leave I thought

I actually like this strategy. A way to get a little more w/o permanently upping the price cause it looks like that’s all this is really.

@trev666 it’s much more niche than something like dishonored was but I personally loved it. My fav release last year on Xbox. I def can see how some wouldn’t care for it tho

@Neverwild it is indeed a Bethesda game now owned by Microsoft so Microsoft controls where it goes

For me it was deathloop. It starts slow but once you get the hang of it’s a masterpiece imo

I tried to like it so bad but it’s so vastly diff from Arkham and not in a good way. It’s not terrible or broken but not good either.

@Would_you_kindly I 100% agree with that too and would have honestly preferred them buy crystal dynamics instead of embracer. But it’s still not anti competitive for Xbox to have perks if they are still getting the same game otherwise

@uptownsoul no company does an infinite deal better known as in perpetuity. No one knows what the future holds. For example McDonald’s has to renew their licenses for their drinks from time to time with sprite etc. it is not in perpetuity or a forever contract. That’s why HI-C went away for a period of time. Same concept. It’s not back tracking and is dramatically longer than most contracts. After that Sony can re-negotiate to renew just like any other contact.

@would_you_kindly 100% but if Microsoft owns the ip who is Sony to say that any special perks are anti competitive now. Seems a bit hypocritical imo

I bet Sony rejects the 10 year offer. They made it clear they want Xbox to have no special perks (like Sony enjoys now) and for cod to never come to game pass

I’m sorry but if they can get the Witcher 3 to run with ray tracing on series S all this talk of series S is actually last gen and holding then gen back needs to stop. Was ridiculous to begin with.

gears tactics and if you count Xbox/Bethesda then deathloop

@fatalbubbles I just finished deathloop last night. I HATED at 1st cause I wanted it to play like dishonored. Dishonored is more stealth 1st fps 2nd. This is more fps 1st and stealth 2nd. Once I finally realized that and played it that way, it’s one of my fav games this gen. Amazing story telling putting it all together. Looking forward to ghostwire as well.

Microsoft needs to buy adobo asap. I know they supposedly don’t want to be bought but a boat load of money can make anyone change their minds Lolol

I mean I kinda get it. It’s also got ray tracing completed untethered 4 player co op. I bet that would be hard to get to 60fps if some are playing on 30 and others 60

Dang I love these types of games. No joke this was my most anticipated game pass release this year on console. I guess I still have scorn and high on life to look forward too

Really glad Bandai Namco is releasing these regularly on Xbox now

@markatron84 I agree to an extent but just like with Bethesda games it’s gonna come down to how much Microsoft values that “lost” revenue vs potential new game pass customers. People said the same thing about starfield…”no way Microsoft would pass up that kind of money” and they clearly are. They’d rather have new customers in their ecosystem than put elderscolls etc on other platforms anymore. So financially never say never. Also and, not saying you specifically, what people fail to point out in all these lost revenue arguments is that in the case of both elderscrolls and COD, in the 360 era as far as player bases for those 2 specific games the roles were very much reversed. So this argument of Microsoft doesn’t want to lose out on 60-70% of a particular games player base doesn’t hold weight when it used to be that those same 60-70% played on an Xbox platform. Microsoft does not need Sony to make money or be profitable as I believe Phil has said before

@themightyant the less exclusives comment was in reference to things to not just being tied to a single console but to be on other devices like pc, phones, etc as well. Not that Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo shouldn’t have exclusives for their own ecosystem. You can tell that’s what he meant as in that same article/interview he mentions other companies (Sony) may not like it but it’s what’s best for gaming.

@serge_g I don’t think the S is geared towards those that care about resolution tbh. Those that are just looking for better performance/faster load times but not resolution is the point of the S from what I always understood

Street fighter 2, brave fencer musashi, Mario bros. 3. had to have been one of those

Phil’s actually said we’d see less and less console exclusives as in they wont be tied to 1 device. AKA x cloud and gamepass . I don’t think we are gonna start seeing a ton of games in PlayStation or Nintendo as that doesn’t fit the gamepass eco system narrative.

Redfall for me I love Armand games. Really hope deathloop is on gamepass this year like the rumors say. I specifically didn’t buy it for my ps5 and waited lol

The only correct answer is whatever surprise drops happen tomorrow lol

@tharsman I think “big community” is purposely meant to be vague so when they do make a game exclusive well it wasn’t big enough lol

This looks low key amazing. I may buy it day 1

At the end of the day it’s just uk boxed sale which doesn’t represent the rest of the world nor digital sales. Sony fan boys like to use this as argument against gamepass every chance they can get. The truth of the matter is if it was that detrimental to sales then publishers would stop doing it. Clearly there’s value in it as publishers/developers aren’t going to repeatedly do something that’s going to make them less money.

I even liked the reboot they did. Thief is one of my fav franchises. Was very disappointed the reboot didn’t sell well enough to get a sequel. Yes here’s hoping embracer embraces more thief

If GameStop in the u.s. did this I’d jump on it immediately

I’d only rather have this than activision. The more I think of the activision deal the more I think it’s games like wow and cod staying multi platform and printing money which will fund other studios games as well I guess. Embracer and recent are much more of a monopoly than anything Microsoft has done.

@jayj one x does reduction boosts but not frame rate boosts if I’m not mistaken and that’s were the series consoles shine best on backwards compatibility

Honestly I think it’s a great idea. In the days of the 360 nearly every game had a demo. That would be great if we had that again.

Won’t be his call once merger goes through. Phil will likely make it everywhere gamepass is available
