Next Gen cyberpunk upgrade happening on my Series X right now.

There's like 5 fucking challenges in Avengers that require playing with a person which is not happening in this dead game. Anybody wanna assemble for a few missions on Xbox?

The audacity of such a quest questline in this state.

Capcom announces Street Fighter 6.

Sounds like it's going to use the RE engine. Should be pretty wild.

Multiplatform according to a leak.

People are going to pay.

The official Xbox Bluetooth headset for $99 is a helluva deal. Had them for about two weeks and they are by far the best headset I've owned. Easy to use, charges really fast and everything is crystal freakin clear.


Work for PC too, naturally.

I'll look into it.

Forspoken gets delayed from May 25th to October 11th. Luminous Productions needs extra time for spit and polish.

Welp, there goes my big game for the summer.

Sony is buying Jade Raymond's studio Haven Entertainment.

odds purchase. studio has nothing. talented people there though. this says to me they showed sony whatever this game theyve got in the oven is and sony sees huge potential.

Well, Sony put up the starter investment money to Jade Raymond to get the studio off the ground.

And I bet the purchase price isn't much either. Low risk, potentially high reward I suppose.

Sony has announced it version of the Xbox Game Pass. It's called....................Playstation Plus. BUT WITH TIERS!

Sounds like Xbox Game Pass still has a leg up but this is a start. Will be picking up a new system in the next couple months. This may sway me to the PS side.

E3 officially cancelled. No physical or digital show. Gonna try in '23.

They have a LOT to do to try to catch game pass. They will need to start revamping and updating their cloud technology if they want to make it better. Stream-only will hurt quite a bit.

Only reason, IMO, to go PS5, is for exclusives.

This just brings us back to the point that its smarter to just have a PC and PS5. Do not see any point whatsoever in having an Xbox console ever again.

Nah, if you want to take advantage of the game pass but don't want to shell out to buy a rig and keep it updated, Series x is still a good buy. This is a step in the right direction for sony, but as drave said, game pass still has a few advantages going off that presser.

Isn't there only limited games from Xbox game pass on the pc though? Feel like having an Xbox gets you the better games.

Gonna havta press X for doubt here buddy. This whole argument about having to update PCs to keep them on top is overblown. I have a PC I built 6 years ago thats more powerful than the Series X (which will be around another 5 or 6 years) is ever going to be. They might catch the power of my newer PC in 2 more console generations. Maybe.

I'd say 90% or more of the games on console are on PC on gamespass. Console does have a few exclusives, but they are all niche games, and PC has its on set of games that aren't on the console version as well to make up for it.

and Im not saying Gamespass is bad. It is a far superior service. I love it to death. But it doesn't make the Series X a smart purchase imo. There is a distinct reason why Sony still kills them in hardware sales even though they have the best deal in the business in Gamespass.

The upkeep of PC's is much more than financial. When Little Jimmie wants to see a Little Tittie and fucks up his PC, it's all over.




Seriously though, its updates and technical knowledge that stop most people, on top of a ridiculous price tag if you want to run things "well". This is something I'm learning as my son has his first rig. He knows fuckall about computer updates, security 101, internet basics (I have this sorted for now), etc.


That's strictly the software portion of the issue. Don't even start with hardware.

Name and brand recognition will do this, especially in other markets, especially Japan.


Current gen hardware is honestly pretty even. I'm interested to see what late-gen games look like with the playground devs have been given combined with things we've already seen. gonna be amazing.

Another massive update to No Man's Sky. Guess how much it costs.

Man I got sucked into that for about a month and then something else grabbed my attention.


Gotta admit though, the update sounds badass

Embracer Group acquires Eidos, Crystal Dynamics, and Square Enix Montreal for $300 million.

WWE has signed a deal to make a wrestling RPG. God I hope this works out because that could end up being a dream game.

WB Montreal has cancelled Gotham Knights for last gen consoles. PS5, Xbox Series X/S, or PC only.

Yeah right dude. It will be "MyCareer" mode from 2k with new fancy bells and whistles.

if you listened to the conference call vince said "a deal in the role playing gaming space." could be mobile. could be table top. no clue

All the Bioshock games are free on PC via Epic Games store right now.


(Never played them, and going to take this new Macbook for a spin for funsies)

NEVERMIND




Windows only. lol.

Starfield literally looking like Bethesda No Man's Sky.

i expected starfield to sell me an xbox...i did not. not saying it doesnt look worthwhile but its def a game that I'll play when i get around to it not day 1.

It's like No Man's Sky, Destiny, and Elite: Dangerous got thrown into a blender and this is what came out.

Not sold on it yet and I'm not going to run out and buy a Xbox when I can just back into either of those games whenever I feel the itch.

Tell me what I can "really" do, then I may change my mind.

Lots of cool looking new ips in xbox's showcase though. Pumped for a lot of those.

in 3-5 years theyll have a very impressive library

out of this showcase The Last Case of Benedict Fox and Ara: History Untold both looked really good

They said everything shown is releasing within the next 12 months.

Obviously, that doesn't count for delays, but if even half of those titles hit that mark, theres gonna be a lot of cool stuff to play within the year.
