    *** Xbox Series X|S - General Discussion Thread ***

    That's what people said about Zenimax! Valve is private, plus the concerns about monopolization fits the bill, but it's still speculative! Either way, Zenimax certainly wasn't the last big acquisition, mark my words!

    Being a publicly traded company doesn't mean they can't be acquired. Nuance Communications (mentioned in my previous post) was a public company and Microsoft acquired them for $19.7 billion. There are numerous ways to do so, the most obvious being privatization. Don't think for a minute that...

    Microsoft is rumoured to be announcing another large acquisition soon, and it doesn't appear to be a baseless one, as a number of insiders have alluded to it on Twitter. It's implied that it could be as big as the Zenimax deal, the leaker mentioned that the announcement could raise concerns...

    Unfortunately SF5 isn't available on Xbox, but I've played just about every other fighter on the console and the bumpers/triggers aren't a detriment. It's widely accepted that the D-pad on the Series X controller is remarkably tactile for fighters, unlike the squishy D-Pad on the DualSense...

    The Series X's controller is infinitely better for fighters, the DualSense's D-pad is shockingly bad!

    *The Official PlayStation 5 (PS5) Thread*

    Not true, it's already £179.99 on some sites. Besides, Major Nelson has previously said: On paper, but most comparisons are either marginal or in favour of the Series X. Only Sony's first-party exclusives will take full advantage of the SSD, whereas most multiplatform developers will cater to...

    *The Official PlayStation 5 (PS5) Thread*

    Sony fans criticised Microsoft for their proprietary SSD, but it's the most consumer friendly by far! Now they are justifying the costly NVMe drives despite arguing that Microsoft's plug and play solution was expensive! Double standards much?

    Microsoft Flight Simulator

    Very positive reception from Digital Foundry, the Series X version is remarkably close to PC's ultra settings! Sony fanboys are experiencing the five stages of grief. I've seen people discrediting the score on Metacritic because it's higher than Ratchet & Clank, and someone went to the trouble...

    If they release a new (optional) Elite controller at a premium price point, that's fair enough, but it shouldn't be the de facto standard, unless they offer a discount or trade-in option for early adopters. Personally, I'm opposed to Microsoft copycatting Sony. Haptics aren't the be-all and...

    Valve - Steam Deck

    It's a novelty, which is why it's popular, but the poor battery life and low spec will be a detriment in the long-term. The Switch is different because Nintendo games aren't graphically intensive, but the Steam Deck is supposed to play AAA games! I suspect there will be future iterations of the...

    Res Evil Code Veronica X - do i play it now?

    I have it on the Series X, it was the last of the traditional Resident Evil games, if you're not counting the remakes. It's still very atmospheric, once you get past the dated visuals.

    *** Xbox Series X|S - General Discussion Thread ***

    People who criticise the Series S need to re-evaluate their thinking! A console that retails at £249 and achieves 60 FPS with ray tracing in demanding games such as Metro Exodus is remarkable, even if there are trade-offs! The console will offer even more value when the price inevitably drops in...

    The Series X is in stock on the rainforest.

    The Metro Exodus update looks amazing. Picked up the Gold Edition for £20, money well spent! Update goes live on Friday.

    Stalker 2 looks incredible, easily my most anticipated game next to Starfield!

    Jeff Grub stirred the hornet's nest with yesterday's tweet, resulting in Sony fans voicing their displeasure on Reddit etc.

    *** Xbox Series X|S - General Discussion Thread ***

    I've noticed a lot of Sony fans are still clutching at straws over Starfield, suggesting that it would be unwise for Microsoft to forgo releasing the game on the PS5 if they expect to make a reasonable profit. The thing is, Microsoft isn't interested in single unit sales, there's more money to...

    That's the beauty of purchasing a physical copy on console!

    Resident Evil Village

    Mack didn't have good things to say about the demo. I hear the campaign is short, in which case I'll wait for a sale.
