XboxEra Community Hangout |OT13| The Bakers Dozen

More rumors this time about hardware numbers from Wallstreet journal shared by XTas1s, although in the thread they confirmed Xbox numbers are VGChartz estimates.

Can we stop reposting console warring, baseless garbage?

To be fair, maybe I’m just in a good mood but I’m actually happy with those numbers - the fanboy console warriors (and gaming media) have created this narrative that PS5 was out selling the Series by like 5 to 1.

The ratio above is more like the PS4 and One (or possibly slightly better) so if it’s true maybe the media will stop with the ā€œdeath of Xboxā€ and ā€œXbox to blame for the Pro priceā€ crap…

On another note, I stupidly waited till it’s about to leave Game Pass to try the Phoenix Wright trilogy - and I’m really enjoying it.

Imagine I can do a case per day with the amount I’m able to play - anyone know if that’s enough to finish it before it leaves?

Edit: If not I’m a bit less worried now - CDKeys have it cheap as it’s not in an Xbox sale at the moment…

Dark Tide not leaving

Update: Good news! After initially appearing in the ā€˜leaving soon’ section of the Game Pass app on mobile, console, and PC, Warhammer: 40,000 Darktide has now been removed, so it looks like first-person shooter will remain in the service for the foreseeable.

They must have gotten a deal through to keep it in the service.

Dead Island 2 is surprisingly good. Environments and zombie dismemberment look great. I’m digging the linear level design.

I’m just speculating, seeing as Microsoft has made mistakes with their GP announcements in the past. I really just hope that they did work out a new deal as it helps the devs.

This is going to be a roller coaster.

Heads up for anyone else playing the Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney trilogy before it leaves GP - after you finish a case you’re able to manually save, and you need to do so!

Found this morning even though I got the achievement for completing the first case, I had to replay it as the game doesn’t appear to autosave, annoyingly (or work with Quick Resume)

This actually looks pretty good. And it’s Bamco, which most of the time nowadays means it comes to our console too.

Not this time. Whatever the reasons may be, good or bad, I just wish this stopped.

Is it not published by SIE though?

Could be a Horizon Adventures style situ

Not sure, I don’t see it in the trailer. But apparently it was a Vita game. But then it is coming to Switch and Steam.

This was actually once PS first party title. This game is happening to hope for a sequel with everyone remembering. The developers likely managed to get the permission (at last) and likely don’t have enough fund/resource, so this is their minimum. They can’t count on us USA to help. Japan is literally their sink or swim factor.

Makes more sense then, yeah. Definitely. It’s a bummer, but hey, I could get it for Switch.

I mean, they remaster consoles now, so why not this old game too?

All jokes aside, it’s a bit shocking how long it took for this to be announced. TLOU already had two remasters iirc?
