The rumor is that it's going to arrive in installments. If so, I'm out.
Gaming Xbox Series X|S

Why?
Out where?
I don’t care how it arrives as long as the gameplay is solid. If the gameplay is like walking dead then yeah I doubt a lot of people will be interested.
His gamepass runs out in 2022...
Because rightly or wrongly a triple a AAA game has never been a success when rolled out like that. It screams of tv rather than a huge blockbuster. If that makes sense.
How many AAA games have rolled out like that though? I am talking games with proper gameplay mechanics and not your walking dead.
Zero? I think. And that's why I'm suspicious of it.
I should add that these are just rumours, though. It might not even be true.
So how can you make such statements that it has not been a success?
And TV shows have grown in budgets, in audiences and even in the talent they have attracted as a result of moving to a streaming / subscription model. Gaming is going through a similar sort of thing with Gamepass at least on Xbox and this sort of delivery suits that model
Well, it hasn't has it? I didn't say they had tried and failed
I hate to make this a 'console war' thing, but one of the reasons Sony is so popular is because they produce massives single player story games. I was thinking that what this was going to be for Xbox.
This is the Series X thread.
Take your Sony crap out of it before I report you to the mods.
Sony are looking to sell consoles, Xbox are looking to sell game pass subscriptions.
Sony are anti-consumer. It’s amazing how the ps boys lap it up though.
Microsoft are the ultimate capitalists, hoovering up all the great work of developers and delivering it at a low subscription cost

I'm with you.
I think something like WoW is basically a series of games, they just add more to it everytime.
A game released in installments could 100% work. I'm kinda looking forward to what they have in store. The only issue would be the control scheme, remembering it after have a lay off for a year or so
unless it has an "endgame" for each installment where you can still do stuff for fun.I'm with you.

In fairness, most big games kinda do it already. Forza, Ass Creed, Control, Smash, Halo, CoD, etc etc. All update periodically with new DLC/maps/characters intended to elongate play-time.
I'm sure episodic content where the base content is basically its own game would work well. Seems like the idea they're going for.
Maybe this is a route that means we can actually get big games that are actually finished. Just a positive look at it.
It’s probably to keep people paying for game pass in reality.
It's more the route to £15 per episode so you don't realise you've spent £90 on a game. I can't personally see the consumer upside compared to what we have now as the first episode will be unfinished or delayed exactly as it is now. The remaining episodes may be quicker if they've got engine sorted but the overall time ends up longer as per Life is Strange.
This will surely be on game pass, no?
If so that's fine, but not everyone is on game pass. It changes the entire system.
Is £10 a month worth it for Game Pass and this game? The answer is probably yes. Can you play Mass Effect, CyberPunk, GTA5, Control? If not, you have to work out what is on Game Pass and what you actually want to play.
If you do want to play this on Game Pass and it takes 18 months to release the full game that's 18 x £10 and there may not have been much else on there for you in the meantime.
Well that’s kind of the deal with game pass and where MS are going innit. You can get it for a fair bit cheaper than a tenner a month though.
I’ve basically got it for less than a quid a month not including Xbox Live, which I’d have anyway. If you include what I’d be paying for Xbox Live anyway it’s 4 quid a month.
Ignoring, the price you've got it for, that's the way MS are going and yeah, there's a reason they're going for it. Remember the days when you could get all football on one channel whereas now you need to get Sky, BT Sport, Amazon etc? Subscription is great as long as it's got the games you want to play.
Does anyone else’s console get quite loud when playing disc games? Maybe it was a one off but I was playing world war z with my mates and just with the disc in but on the main menu, either the drive or the fan was kicking up! It wasn’t anything worrying in terms of noise (I’ve seen some people post crunching etc from the drive), just a louder whirring than usual.
with nothing in the drive it’s whisper quiet.

I don’t think it’ll go that way, because the big console guys are in the power position, and they surely won’t allow anything like that to happen. Not for a long time anyway. Game Pass will undoubtedly start going up in price though.
They’ll have to be careful and really have to provide a good product when that starts happening, otherwise people will just buy it for a couple of months at a time and hammer the games they want to play most.
Their best bet would be to get some big online games on there so people are tied in for the lifespan.
But anyway, I can’t see any major downsides happening this generation.

So who has picked up an X already?
Anyone with a Series S playing Cyberpunk yet? How is the performance and did the patch yesterday help?
Ay @VeevaVee or anyone in the know, when doing this, do I turn recurring payments and get 1 month free on or off?!
I turned recurring payment off so I know when it ends and I can try do it again. Not sure what the 1 month thing is though
Veeva I could kiss ya!!! Game pass ultimate until July 2022 for a poxy quid! Nice one man I'm Happy as Larry.
So my yearly Xbox live is due to renew late December. Should I turn it off lads to get this ultimate thing?
Haha enjoy it man!
Might as well for the price. If you’ve not had game pass before it’s dirt cheap. If you have it’s still dirt cheap
So turn it off then do what exactly?
Then unplug your Xbox and throw it in the bin
Feck off PS child
Cheers fella
