Let's attach an OLED screen on the BACK of the controller, and drain the woat battery even more
Yes, a screen on the back of a controller is a wonderful idea. Along with the light bar. Two excellent ideas.

It's a dickscreen.
By HoboVapes Go To PostGot a new Rift S for £315. Bless ebay. Balls deep in Boneworks by the weekendOooh, nice. How did you manage that?
Looking at GOTY award lists and, uh, apart from RE2 I'm not sure I actually played any of these games :lol
By Zabojnik Go To PostOooh, nice. How did you manage that?
Christmas innit, so people get desperate to flog their stuff for Turkey money. It was up for £350, put an offer in for £290, haggled up to £320 and used a 5% discount code (PICKME5 currently btw). Plus postage.
Was hoping to get a Samsung Odyssey for under £300 at first, but after seeing some impressions of Boneworks running on WMR compared to a Rift S, I think I'll be glad to have spent a bit more.
GOTY is Control, and I say that because I only played that, Pokemon, and FIFA this year.
Finally finishing off BOTW, and fuck me does it put into stark contrast how drab Pokemon's world is. The environments in Sword and Shield could easily enough be Gameboy era games remapped in 3D

In need of a Xmas game - I must pick between Control and BL3.
Please make your cases as only gamers can.

My GOTY so far is between these 3:
Resident Evil 2
Ace Combat 7
Sekiro
There have been a couple of good games that aren't GOTY material for different reasons like :
Metro Exodus, DMC5, Death Stranding, Shenmue 3
And a shitload of games that I haven't played yet :
The Hong Kong Massacre, Kingdom Hearts 3, Trials Rising, Plague Tale, Control, Outer Worlds, Outer Wilds, Judgment, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order.
Pretty sure Judgment could have been a GOTY candidate for me.
Remasters like Catherine Full Body or Tales of Vesperia don't count for me.
I got a Switch recently, but my gf is holding it hostage. So I haven't really tested it alongside the games...

By Laboured Go To PostLooking at GOTY award lists and, uh, apart from RE2 I'm not sure I actually played any of these games :lolYou should play Ace Combat 7.
I'm sure I'll get round to playing this year's big games, uh, next year. Or the year after that. Idk.
By Freewheelin Go To PostWhat the fuck is the point of that back button attachment?paddles. Would be great in FPS for one.
XSX going to have back compat with all previous Xbox gens.
In a behind-closed-doors meeting at E3 2019, Microsoft's Dan McCulloch confirmed this to GamesRadar:
"All of your current games will be forward compatible to play on Scarlett, and will look the best on Scarlett," explained McCulloch.
That means that all Xbox One games, plus all the Xbox 360 and original Xbox games currently available via Xbox One backwards compatibility, will also be playable on Xbox Project Scarlett. We've already seen how the Xbox One backwards compatibility tech can liven up old games with smoother visuals, and given the Xbox Series X specs, it should be able to ramp that up even further. You can only do so much to old games, obviously, but the implications for Xbox One games are tantalizing.”
goty is between dmcv and sekiro
honorable mentions re2, disco elysium, yooka laylee and the impossible lair

Control is GOTY. Simple.
If you actually played everything that was nominated , you are in fact a gAmEr, and have too much time on your hands

this feeds me
sony are clowns
By Laboured Go To PostXSX going to have back compat with all previous Xbox gens.That's cool, I wonder if they'll make any more 360 game BC compatible, or if they're stopping where they left off on XO.
By Freewheelin Go To PostIf only Sony could do the same…Rumours that they would, but I get the feeling PS3 BC will pretty hit or miss given what an architectural nightmare that thing was
By JesalR Go To PostThat's cool, I wonder if they'll make any more 360 game BC compatible, or if they're stopping where they left off on XO.the b/c program was put on hold for the new consoles, but it will come back to the usual more b/c titles every month or whatever it was

Id have to think hard on GOTY. I want to say Three Houses but I feel like I'm forgetting something.
By Daz Go To PostNo Shouts for MK11?😂
That did come out this year didnt it?
worst game of the year list is actually way easier this year
1. Death Stranding
2. the dumb Sony biker game
3. the dumb Star Wars game.

Sony could do BC all the way through PS1 if it really wanted to. All 3 Xbox gens had different architecture and MS was able to do it. Granted MS is in a while different league when it comes to tools than Sony is, but nobody forced Kuturagi to go batshit crazy and come up with the Cell for PS3. It should be able to be emulated in some shape or form in 2020, but this is the same company who just brought you name changes in 2019.
Xbox did not have true backwards compatibility lol
If anything, Nintendo learned their current brand of bullshit from MS

By Mystikal McGhee Go To Postwhat brand of bullshit? you own the game, you can play the game if it's on the listYou couldn't take every game up. You could buy some from Xbox Live though.
well yeah, they have to do work on each title individually. it's not like the ps2, that had ps1 parts, and could virtually play every single ps1 game.
think they did the same with early ps3 models, but ditched asap to bring down the price. but now they want to sell you the game again with trophies and whatever, or through ps now. hell, the ps2 classics aren't even as good as the ps2 originals tbh.
fuck them.

Wut.
If it's on the list you can play it. Digital or disc. Better than the shit Sony pulling. They could make most of the favs BC compat. They'd rather charge you.
By Smokey Go To PostWut.This is how I know you ain't been playing games LONG before the PC stuff lol
If it's on the list you can play it. Digital or disc.
You might be high rn m8
Right now if a game is in the bc list...you can play it on the xbox one. Dont even know what you getting at lol

They just don't think people care about back compat. Jim Ryan's own words, "Why would anybody want to play this?" They'll do PS4 compatibility on PS5 and you'll be able to stream old games on PS Now. It won't be enhanced back compat because they'll sell you new versions of Ghosts and Death Stranding and everything else in 18 months.
Smokey only cares about full backwards compatibility because it's a "Pro" in his Playstation vs Xbox Pro-Cons list, nothing more.
fans of boxing games really have no choice, it's the only place to play fnc unless you plan on keeping your 360/ps3 connected forever

I get you dont understand how media preservation works, but on PC you can play games from whatever time period. Novel concept m8.

Yeah I'm glad about all those games that aren't on any storefront. That aren't compatible with the current OS and stuff.
They all just work. No problems at all. Just zip your finger and voila.

No you can't 😂That driver support needs to be there. It's not a magic toggle like whatever the hell it is you do in Windows IT. Try compiling your own source code, m8.
I just think back compat is doing right by people. You can take a Crimson Skies disc from 2002 and put in your Xbox One (or XSX next year) and it works. Microsoft still has a lot of work do after XSX is out in regards to their library of original Xbox games, but at least they're putting in the time and not charging people to play Knights of the Old Republic again when they easily could.
They even went back in and gave everybody all the DLC for all the compatible original Xbox games for free. It's good work.

I mean I'm not disagreeing with the fact that Sony straight up giving up on BC was trash. I think a PS3 with BC was running 400+ dollars just a few years ago.
I'm just not gonna act like MS has been some fucking champion for BC when they only had a few dozen titles worth talking about transfer over and I'm not entirely sure if they even let you rock if you only had the disc either. When Nintendo does it and its shit, you can't turn around and ride Microsoft's nuts for the same thing. BAD FAITH
edit: Maybe Rodeo can correct me on how the Xbox OG to 360 and X chain worked. It was piecemeal for sure.

Oh ok, I guess all those people who play on PC with thousands of games from multiple gens are wrong, and should listen to a programmer who just managed to figure out cross page quoting.
