Xbox Game Studios |OT3| Once more....with feeling (Part 1)

There used to have an option for that when you plugged a headset. I’m sure it’s still there though with all the redesigns moving stuff around I haven’t seen it in a while.

I wouldn’t say surpassed. Ms had similar patents even before Sony filled theirs. They just decided against using it for whatever reason.

Holy shit.

Ever since I have my XSX I’ve only been using instant on. But yesterday before sleeping I decided to do a full shutdown for this once, just to clear cache and everything. I just booted it up and I am shocked by truly how fast a cold boot is, Jesus.

Man, Immortals Fenyx Rising is insanely good! I bought it at the current $29.99 sale price with an extra $10 off at Gamestop with a coupon that I got, and it has shocked me how awesome it is. It looks great in the performance mode on the Series X at 60 FPS for me. This game has some Zelda Breath of the Wild exploration/puzzle solving, Assassin’s Creed Odyssey world building but with some great different art style and humor, and the combat is great and almost reminds me some of Monster Hunter World at times. It is legit one of my favorite games that I have played in a long time and would be a strong GOTY contender for me from 2020.

Do we know why Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon never got added to Game Pass ?

Fantastic!

Is Ubi Plus like EA Play that the bigger games come after like half a year or longer or do they land on it day and date? Because if the latter, that would be insane. But if former, still good!

This can’t be real. It’s as expensive as the whole Game Pass Ultimate sub.

I usually do a full shutdown everytime. It comes on before my tv does even from a cold boot so no need to waist power in standby mode

It wouldn’t be impossible, they could paired it with Game Pass ultimate for $5-$10/month to increase the service adoption, like the deals you have with Game Pas Ultimate for $1/ 3 months

The only thing you miss out on are auto updates though, but that’s all it really is and those will update as soon as you have booted it up and during playing a game. Even quick resume works with cold boot if I’m not mistaken.

Also, auto update doesn’t always work. The other day I still had the Gears Tactics update sitting there after days.

This is not an excuse not to happen. See what Amazon, Apple do with their subscriptions. MS is investing heavily in Xbox Game Pass. Would be a positive addition to the service, but everything is still speculation. :wink:

They could be adding as a added sub but for like $7 if your a ultimate sub but if your not subbed to ultimate its $15

This will happen, it makes too much sense

Now that I think about it, there is also a subscription in Fallout 76. Once the deal is done, they could roll it into Game Pass Ultimate, and propose to the Fallout 1st members to change it for Game Pass Ultimate.

The Ubisoft rumor makes too much sense. Though I hope they put tiers out for the people that don’t want it but still want everything else in ultimate. It’s the next logical step. Imagine at next years E3 if Sony, MS, Bethesda, EA, Ubisoft and Square all have press conferences you know eventually everything at 4/6 of those are coming to game pas

There’s a cheap plastic clip that recenters the left stick that breaks off if you press too hard in the down right or if you click down with it pressed in any rightward direction. I always would break them play sports games or Rocket League.

Glad they concentrated on reduced imput lag rather than gimmicks

Yup. I think the obvious move is continue to release MMORPG on all platforms but with no monthly fee on GPU. There would be little reason not to sign up considering some of these games monthly fees are as much as Game Pass.
