And they last just a few years before getting drift problems, what a scam.

Yeah, it’s why I always find it crazy when people say gaming isn’t an expensive hobby.

Compared to a night out drinking, or going to the movies with a family it is far more affordable in the time to money spent average.

I’m thinking Sega might show at TGS more of the new era games they showed at the Keighley’s and also there was a gameplay leak of Crazy Taxi and Shinobi.

That’s fair, but I view that form of entertainment differently than home entertainment. When compared to other forms of home entertainment the costs are getting up there. It’s why something like gamepass is nice to have. Yeah, I hear you overall cost of things are just increasing. Like the cost of groceries is getting insane, but that’s a way different topic :sweat_smile:

While I realize that Souls is pretty much their bread and butter these days , I hope they continue to branch out. FROM used to have multiple genres under their belt including JRPG’s. Wouldn’t mind seeing them dip their toes into that again. Armored Core is a good start though.

Would be cool if Xbox can do something with Sekiro ( starting with gamepass ) since activision publishes. I would love a sequel.

I’ve had great experiences with third party controllers with more features at lower cost.

It’s definitely their most popular genre, but like you said they did do the mecha game not to long ago. So I do hope it means they will continue with other games in the future.

I still would bet my money for a 2026 release, the later the better for Rockstar, in a year from now there might be around 105-110 million consoles sold, way less than when GTA 5 released, i know it’s a game that sells a lot after release too, but the more they sell before a price drop the better.

It’s not like GTA 5 lowered it’s price too much in the first 2 years tho, but at least it had some some drops eventually.

It could still get delayed, but right now, that’s not the path they’re in. Anything can change down the road. Just for heads up before a delay do happen and the old leaker acted like this was always the plan.

Couldn’t agree more. I love FROM’s games, but Sekiro is my personal favorite - its blend of mechanics, the story, atmosphere, etc were perfect imo.

Sekiro is pretty good(still need to go back and defeat Ishin, but considering how long it’s been that’s likely not going to happen).

But Elden Ring is definitely my favorite From game I’ve played! I do hope they do something with their older IPs like Eternal Ring as I never played any if their first person games and would like to try it out.

I hope not, but knowing big corporations, it’s likely.

One “advantage” of the Series controller not featuring all the bells and whistles seen in the PS5 controller, as well as the non-inclusion of the rechargeable battery pack, should have been to keep costs low.

Really, the lack of these features (especially the removable rechargeable battery) should have meant a noticably cheaper controller. So the Xbox Series controller was priced on the higher end to begin with. So to some extent I think they won’t raise it. But when the competition does it you get a whole lot of license to follow suit.
