I’m enjoying all my new games which are only available on PS5.

What are you playing again?

Hitman 3, Yakuza 0, No Man’s Sky, Observation, Rocket League occasionally with friends, and COD, plus still have Valhalla to get back to. Also have Wreckfest to jump on every now and then and a few others bits off Game Pass ready to go.

So no new games? So glad I didn’t spend £450 to play Rocket League and Yakuza 0.
 
Imagine paying £450 on a console to brag you're playing games that came out last gen (thay are available everywhere else as well).

People are putting a lot of faith in a new IP developed by a studio with a pretty poor track record for the last 10 years, who haven't developed a new IP in eons. I'd rate the chances of it being a disappointment higher than it being a success at this point.

Fallout 4 was commercially and critically a success. Yes you get people who don't rate it the same way you do for any huge game - look at the commentary around games like TLOU2.

Fallout 76 clearly had a terrible start. But it was a live service game which are often (almost always) plagued with these issues and was rushed out. The game has clearly turned around though, and is now pretty damn popular.

The key thing is that recognize they can't get away with putting out a buggy experience now that they have Xbox's investment behind them and are a first-party studio, particular in wake of Cyberpunk. With the Halo delay then I think Xbox will get that, and you'd hope the resulting focus of having to develop only for the pc/xs gdk plus the extra qa and technical support that Xbox can give them, that it'll be a quality experience. I was surprised they put a date on it so early - I am guessing that shows some confidence, but with 18 months of road ahead of them there is surely still a lot to do.. maybe it's closer than we think from a content creation and playability perspective, and it's not far off being all about polish.

Or.. maybe they push it back (would be a bit of a disaster).

I expect that it'll still fall short for some people because they are in a really tough position. Fallout and ES developers will have all these expectations on them of what the game should be. There will be people that want Fallout in space, and others that want something different that feels fresh. But, I absolutely expect it to be huge commercially and would be surprised if it wasn't critically acclaimed.
 
It will be a buggy mess solved by the pc modding community as usual, lets not pretend otherwise.

There may well be a good game in there have to wait and see on that part, there will need to be considerable upgrades and changes compared to Skyrim (ignoring fallout 4 as it was crap) to bring it up to standards expected now.

I have little faith in bethesda be nice to be wrong though.

It doesn’t matter where else they’re available :lol:

More terrible points from a Sony boy

Fallout 4 and 76 are shite though. 4 is a bit better than gets credit for, but it overall a massive disappointment. Nearly all Bethseda developed games have massive issues and were only ever properly fixed by the modding community.

That being said, I agree that somehow it will come out to great fanfare yet not be disappointing anywhere like we all are fearful of. I have hopes it will at very least launch well and get content pumped in over time.
 
Has there been any hint of what Moon Studios next game will be on the xbox side?

The only Xbox studio that i can be excited about currently.
 
Are there any rumours about another Viva Piñata from Rare? An open world version of that with modern graphics would be just :drool:

Yes. But PS5 owners will be paying around £60.

Xbots have it on GamePass.

You have to balance it with the amount of time he's saved by not having to download all the shovelware and play through it to make his gamepass purchase feel relevant.

I can't believe you don't remember all of Veeva's posts in the PS4 v Xbone thread.

VeevaVee said:
I know this is a little against the thread title rule and hardly a revelation, but I'm just looking through Xbox One best sellers and there's so little to be excited about there. Playstation exclusives make it just far far more interesting.

Main reason I'm on Xbox is because most mates are, but it's very rare I even play with them.
Watch me switch for the next gen and Xbox have loads of sweet exclusives.

I wish it was a thing that was just confined to Apple but unfortunately it's true across almost everything.

Just look at what brands most people buy from Tesco which are exactly the same ingredients as their Value or Aldi counterparts for 4x less money.

Not everybody can take the piss and get away with it, but being predisposed to buying one brand unless (overwhelming) evidence the other way.

Why did Sony bother with spending millions on building a very strong Playstation brand if there is no impact on sales? I'm curious.

Guys, you are just wrong! The concept of brand loyalty just doesn't exist in console sales, do some research.

You haven't seen me, but I've seen you...

I think we are pretty close IIRC, yes. Have fun sleeping after learning that.

Are you the little fat kid who said I look like Jesus yesterday on the Epping Trail?
 
Redlambs said:
You have no idea how much I wish I was right now :lol:

Though thinking on it, it depends on why you were speaking to kids you didn't know, in a forest, whilst rocking a beard...

They were doing cross country or whatever while I was out for my lunchtime walk and one of them pointed me out so I told him he could do with less chatting and more running. I am looking pretty biblical at the moment, my lockdown locks are flowing and godly.

You've got a good point - but as a Xbot (at long last) we got something exclusive to be disappointed in!

I can sympathise with that. Despite my comment I'm still looking forward to it, I'm just not expecting anything from it. Curious to check it out and if it's good and manages to recapture some of the old Bethesda magic, all the better.

I never knew about the Epping Forest option?! Way more convenient.

I want to say at one point Pert was involved in that one or guvnorgaz? @Damien probably would remember, it was a while ago.

Whatever way, it's in caf folklore like Hull is. I think I even went and took a picture of the perfect spot for a caf fight :lol:
