I have no interest in indie games, but I’d make a list of all the AAA Xbox-exclusive games from the past 5 years and aim to play one each month for a year.

Got about 3 months worth then I walked away from Xbox after about 30 mins of halo infinite, none of their "big" exclusives do anything for me, flight simulator is probably the big miss imo would love to play that, after that it's pentiment and as dusk falls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should partner with Nvidia who are the only service I have used where I can't tell the difference between local and streaming. They haven't? I used it just last night. No good for FPS but was fine playing Resi 2 and vampire survivors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted February 7 Author VT Supporter Share Posted February 7 Yeah my experience of Xcloud was that it was fine for single player games but rubbish for anything online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give GeForceNOW a go and you will see how good cloud gaming really can be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 They're doing a podcast Wednesday with I think the head 3 Xbox peope Almost weird if they don't announce something major now I'm going for a couple of games on each other console and not the same games, would say psychonauts 2 on switch 2 but that's not going to happen with Nintendo not officially launching switch 2 so I'll go hi fi rush on switch and starfield on ps5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was decent when I played through it but as soon as I swapped to Cyberpunk I realised that it was levels below other AAA games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogso Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 I'd be surprised if the announcement isn't relating to Sea of Thieves, possibly Starfield, and maybe some older legacy Xbox titles becoming multiplatform, but I do wonder if they will also announce the new discless Series X too.

villa4europe Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Sea of thieves is a good shout because obviously increasing the player base via ps5 helps their own base enjoy it more and there's no real comparable game on ps5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 sea of thieves, hi-fi rush, pentiment and grounded are coming to PS5 and switch (what i read wasnt clear if it was all 4 on each console) diablo 4 is coming to GP "new hardware and controller options coming this holiday" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PieFacE Posted February 16 Author VT Supporter Share Posted February 16 So all those Xbox rumours seem to be much about nothing really? unless i'm missing something. Pretty much just as you were other than a couple of games going to other consoles but who gives a shit about that? Surely the more games that can be played elsewhere the better?

villa4europe Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Yeah I'm not sure why they tried to turn the rumours in to a marketing event They did also throw in some guff about the next console being the greatest generational leap ever seen, that's a massive mistep that no one needs right now, says to me they still don't get it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People care way more about the quality of games over how powerful the piece of plastic is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GarethRDR Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Control (with all the DLC) is going to be on Game Pass shortly, for anyone who's not played it. I cannot recommend this game enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starfield was one of the most disappointing games ever. Considering how long they had to do it, it was cloggy and boring.
