XboxEra Community Hangout |OT14| New News? NEW THREAD

I had a console one problem earlier today. I ended up restarting my box, played a game, and then it worked.

You missed a few -

  • Sony will never do cross-gen releases (they did, lasted longer than Microsoft)
  • Sony will never release a digital only console (they did, twice, ps5 and ps5 pro)
  • Sony will never release a game on PC (they did)
  • Sony will never release a game day one on PC (they did)
  • Sony will never release a game on Xbox/Nintendo (they did and more are coming)

Once Sony sees the revenue that they’re missing out on, they won’t have a red line either.

Been playing Gears in coop with a friend for 2 nights in a row on Insane difficulty. After all these years I had only done Hivebusters on coop but I had played Gears 1 at least 4-5 times. Game is pretty good looking, not a crazy remaster but it looks a lot better than Ultimate and the lighting is what really makes the difference for me.

I’m playing on PC and he is on PS5 and it works really well so far, although I don’t know how he manages with a PS5 controller lol

That Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion demo is pretty great. Really reminds me of Zone of the Enders but with more possibilities. Loving the combat. Just had a boss fight where you can weaken the enemy by aiming at his armor parts, ripping them off and then blasting or slashing at their flesh.

Looks good, plays great at 60fps, has a interesting enough story by the looks of it, cool characters and even co-op! Awesome to have this franchise on Xbox now too.

“That will show them CoD is falling. Hehehehehe.”

Phooey.

Sonic Racing has rivals interaction before the race. It makes me wish special guests have voices, though maybe dialogues remain.

It’s playable now, the network test?

I think so? A lot of clips surfacing over Twitter so I would assume so. Try. I need to download.

One thing about first person is you do feel like you are the character, depending how well the presentation holds.

It’s odd because articles from my country are saying it’s tomorrow. I’ll download it when I’m back home.

Goes even further back then that. I remember:

  • Sony will never do cross-play

    Crazy how Black Ops 7 & Silksong are day one game pass and XPA and Fallout is a first party IP. Xbox is doing fantastic.

    Didn’t they frame it as “protecting” their players from the savages on other consoles? :sweat_smile:

    These right here are the type of crossover Microsoft needs to do with more than just CoD and Minecraft, Overwatch gets a lot of cool crossover skins, but they could also get some from Microsoft IP(and I really hope the Ren tease is the actual character and not a skin).

    We can hope the stuff with HD2 is a sign.
