"Really got to enjoy and explore the full limits of the CGI car's physics. "

I second this! Sidewinder proving grounds in all its variations was a great way to understand the cars limits and a great showcase of the kind of the level of detail to the car physics in forza. It had all sorts of corners with camber changes the odd hump/rise in the track that would cause faster cars to go a little air born over them...only to be greeted by sweeping 64 degree right ha...

"it didn't look like 3 xboxes per screen as the action seemed to crossover from one screen to the other."

That is also the case with forza. what is on the left or right screen can also cross over to the enter screen if it comes into the FOV of that screen. As for how they did it with halo, I cant say as there has never been any information on that one.

Its actually one xbox per screen. Some special set up they have. they been doing this since X360 days.

"But then because Sony as well as 3rd parties jumped on the FPS bandwagon as well, are ever moving towards games as services instead of products, all the blame can't really be put on MS's shoulders. "

"Of course you don't, all you see is Sony doing everything right, even though they are doing and have done everything MS is doing from the beginning. But for some unknown reason you think the head of the gaming division pushed shooters."

"It's my opinion and I am in titled to it. If I was you I would try to be a bit less offended by a stranger on a forum."

Certainly not offended.and nobody is stopping you from liking what ever the hell you want. What I was speaking on was the false assertion that xbox gamers have had nothing to play this year. its like you fail at comprehension or something. I dont care what you do or dont like. simply correcting your FUD. I dont ne...

You guys are funny.

@fattyuk

Touchy? nah. I just call BS when I see it, mate. No feelings needed for that. Certainly dont need to convince myself that the XB1 has games..I been playing them since may, when I got it.

You know what is touchy though? responding to comments that were not addressing you, then going on to tell me about your imaginary xbox that is collecting (pixie) dust in your head. I didnt know fanboys could buy consoles in their dreams..

I thoug...

NO DICE = NO BUY. At least for me.

I second this. I think MS doled out the biggest serving of crow pie we have ever seen.And we are only two years into this console gen. I think the future will hold some interesting things.... ;)

"There hasn't been a game out worth buying since October 2014."

LOL...Keep telling yourself that. you know?...Its easy to say things like that when you dont own one. You get to stick your head up your ass and pretend nothing exists outside of what you can see up there. Xbox gamers have been enjoying Ori, neverwinter, smite, elite, the long dark, rare replay and gears this month, in addition to ant majhor third party game that came out. And dont think just becaus...

So true..but we did moan about some other things. polygon clipping, terrible draw distance and terrible AMV cutscenes.

I always said I would be happy for the day when those things were no longer an issue and I stuck to that. Generally speaking im happy with the way games look on consoles. even wiiu games look good to me. Splatoon and R&C over there looking like CG cartoons. our driving games have gotten to the point where we argue about rain drops. open world games have got...

"I remember one game doing this properly, but I can't for the life of me recall which game it was. But, it actually had the weapons you were holding in cut scenes show as the actual one you were wielding before the cut scene."

Mass effect did this. I dunno if its the game you are talking about though.

I for one am not surprised. Most people cant really afford to spend more than a thousand bucks on a gaming device. I have two PCs that are are extremely powerful, but I know from friends and work clients reactions that I am a rare breed of PC user. Most people in my line of work just buy power macs when they spend , what I spend on my builds, every few years. Most people dont know about GPUs, DDR4 etc. they just want to play a game or surf the web. so they go cheap and cheerful.

I have the first two on X360. As a preview member I can play them on my XB1 right now. I think I ll but this one just so I got the whole collection. I still aint played the second yet, but its sitting their waiting.
