Smart Delivery: This technology empowers you to buy a game once and know that – whether you are playing it on Xbox One or Xbox Series X – you are getting the right version of that game on whatever Xbox you’re playing on. We’re making the commitment to use Smart Delivery on all our exclusive Xbox Game Studios titles, including Halo Infinite, ensuring you only have to purchase a title once in order to play the best available version for whichever Xbox console they choose to play on.So they're doing cross-gen cross buy. Very good.
By Laboured Go To PostI mean, it's a console m8.i wouldn't wish a 12TF machine on my nemesis.
By Yurt :3 Go To Postthe repeated bosses in Bayonetta are doing my head in. Flashes of Okami…truly a Hideki Kamiya special
and they never make any narrative sense, just here….fight that boss again
and again
You want narrative sense out of Bayonetta?!
By Daz Go To PostPC brehs shook.How come?
You can taste it.
By HonestVapes Go To PostYou want narrative sense out of Bayonetta?!not necessarily but if I'm going to fight bosses I've already sent to HELL I need a reason for it other than chapter padding
By Laboured Go To Posthopefully 499 again
I think this is the first official conformation of cross gen (that everyone assumed)
I expect both boxes to come in at $499. Microsoft can't price themselves out again like they did on Xbox One.
hopefully PS5 will go the compatibility route too, I'd love to replay lots of PS2 and PS3 games.
and Xbox too, so I might buy both of them I guess.

By Daz Go To PostThat's a 599 console.
That's exactly what they want SONY to think.
299 and 499 boxes. Book it.
The only way it is a 599 console is if the option to buy through a subscription model (like a cable box) is really that appealing and widely available. I'm talking xbox, gamepass, gold (these 2 should be the same thing by then) and probably an extra controller and a handjob for like <$40 a month.

By Daz Go To PostThat's a 599 console.From back in November:
“I would say a learning from the Xbox One generation is we will not be out of position on power or price,” says Phil Spencer, Microsoft’s Xbox and gaming chief, in an interview with The Verge. “If you remember the beginning of this generation we were a hundred dollars more expensive and yes, we were less powerful. And we started Project Scarlett with this leadership team in place with a goal of having market success.”It won't be $599. No way.

By Slavic Go To PostYou can but there surely will be an enhanced edition of some games with better assets and models. Question is how they will handle it, i can see cdpr giving it to you as a free patch to download
i predicted this. INSIDER
MS will ensure it's 500. They will release a more powerful console for the same price as the PS5. They are going to make a point of it and they can afford to do so.
By Laboured Go To PostMS will ensure it's 500. They will release a more powerful console for the same price as the PS5. They are going to make a point of it and they can afford to do so.Yeah, they're just going to eat any losses and make it up on games and subscriptions.
If they're super aggressive, they'll do a Halo bundle. Get the new console and the biggest game for it packed it.

i mean with game pass isn't every console sold a halo bundle? it's not like they actually charge you for game pass. i had it for a year and barely paid more than a dollar.

They need to be seen to be ultra aggressive this time round. As Tom Phillips has pointed out, they're already setting the narrative on features that PS5 will have too, but they're the first ones out there talking about it making Sony look a bit copycat. They're winning the perception game.
like sony gives a shit.
as long as they're putting out a decent product at a decent price they're golden.

By Slavic Go To Posti mean with game pass isn't every console sold a halo bundle? it's not like they actually charge you for game pass. i had it for a year and barely paid more than a dollar.Even with Game Pass, they've still done bundles for FH4 and Gears 5. I think there's a perception difference for the general public to have a package that has Halo on it.
Sony has two aces,
1. A well honed AAA farm of devs and diversity of exclusive content.
2.an entrenched user base of 100 million plu thanks to their investment in psn. If all your stuff carries over why start from scratch on another box?
Ms has them beat in server infrastructure and unity of ecosystems. As a convicted Destiny addict and with Phil Spencer being one too, I can see games like division and outriders and other long-form experiences taking hold on xbox with xcloud etc. Not seen what Sony's response will be to all of this mind.
It will be interesting to see how it all unfolds.

none of this will matter if the games are good, thankfully.
I have more faith in Sony, charge whatever the fuck

In some countries in Europe, the absolute trash port of Fifa 20 for the Switch outsells the Xbox version.

Marketing will be the big question mark again and Xbox marketing is so Murican focused that it hurts.
The thing is that they're trying to get a diverse lineup again, which is good. Getting japanese devs back onto your platform is important for a diverse lineup of titles.
The big question will still be the first party output.
Brad Sams now saying that if the low-end Xbox comes out, they won't have it launch.
They can't decide if they actually want to make that thing.

By Laboured Go To Post4 player co-op too.hot fire
Learning Knife Only, for RE2make. Dealing with these bosses is a pain in the ass at 40fps. No protagonist blade, sucks.
Highkey can't wait for the new consoles. It's all for not, if the base consoles aren't good enough for 60fps, as a baseline.

all 3 players look to be in strong positions, should be a fun gen
By rodeoclown Go To PostBrad Sams now saying that if the low-end Xbox comes out, they won't have it launch.i thought this was what was expected? a low cost option is a good idea but shouldn't confuse consumers during the new gen launch window, plus the cost will come down

Corruption 2029 is pretty good yeno. Not XCOM good, but enjoyable nonetheless. Far better than that Pheonix shite I tried on Gamepass.
yup not many companies can charge £10-£15 more than their competitors for worse versions of games and get away with it.
By rodeoclown Go To PostBrad Sams now saying that if the low-end Xbox comes out, they won't have it launch.Should just drop it.

X1X is good and cheap enough for the lower end. Considering they're doing cross-gen games anyway, who really needs it?
By Yurt :3 Go To PostI couldn't even finish the DLC missions haha, you're way too good.
Only because I speedrun B scenario and play Hunk. I haven't finished those either. 😂 They're difficult af. Lol. Took me like 10 minutes + to finish Kendo's and I get washed in the other ones. LOL.
By Fenderputty Go To PostAt least it's plateauing
Just beat God of War 3 Remastered.
Would have been angry as fuck if I had beaten it when it came out, because after GoW 2 cliffhanger, the resolution here was awful.
