I’d pay for an upgrade if they clearly have a worked on it a lot. It’s one thing if they just upped the resolution and frame rates, but I’d expect that they would also:
1) add ray tracing
2) add new game +
3) create some sort of PvP dual system (no matter how light on content, would be very cool)
4) improve draw distances
5) add Japanese lip syncing
I’d personally be happy to pay $30 for such a package, assuming that it was lik...
This is hardly a list of “advanced” tips
Here’s an advanced tip: the game’s art style is NOT trying too hard
At least Ghost of Tsushima nailed the framework
I think you missed my point.... Nobody is blown away by Gears 5 today, so who cares if Xbox will allow me to play it in the best resolution and frame rates in the future? They are overhyping the value of BC in order to be expand the XsX’s game library without any cutting edge AAA exclusives for the console.
Well, their rollout can’t get less diverse than the last gen’s.... hopefully 343 just happened to mature into a top-notch studio in time for Halo Infinite, Xbox as a franchise NEEDS a system seller again.
Good luck launching a console without exclusives
Yeah, and in 7 more years we’ll be able to play Gears 5 in 8K at 120 fps
Forcing Halo Infinite to run on the OG Xbone is like forcing a TikTok feed to run on a dial-up connection for internet: it is impossible that the experience will not be held back by the hardware limitations.
We don’t buy $400+ consoles JUST to upgrade our existing games to 4K. Every new console launches with an exclusive to show off the new potential allowed by the new hardware, and no amount of PR spin from M$ is going to make an objective gamer lose sight of this.
I’m more concerned whether I can turn off the HUD more, and maybe if they ever plan to add Japanese lip syncing (it’s weird how much that matters to me now...)
Wrong.
Last of Us 2 is great... people in general seem more inclined to insist that a story is bad before trying to consider why the creators themselves wanted to go in a certain direction... at the very least, the game mechanics are perfectly refined, and the set pieces are consistently engaging
Exactly, they need to follow their creative drives.... if they never deviated from Uncharted in the first place, then we never would’ve gotten Last of Us
Nice to see Ninja Gaiden mentioned, I would’ve thrown in Vanquish and Alien Isolation (but specified that it’s more that they BOTH deserve to be played on their hardest modes)
Xbone controllers have haptic feedback in the Triggers, unlike the joysticks like with PS5. You are think of ADAPTIVE triggers, vs Xbox’s haptic feedback triggers
Ffs, we’re talking about two different features:
1) Adaptive triggers (motor driven adjustable resistance, such as with drawing a bow or pulling separate triggers on a double barrel shottie... will be in PS5 TRIGGERS, and have no plans of being in any Xbox controllers)
2) Haptic feedback (Advanced rumble... some version currently in Xbone triggers, and will be in PS5 JOYSTICKS)
I wonder if we’ll go the whole gen with people not understa...
PS5 has already shown off the SSD with the new Ratchet and Clank.
And the XsX’s SSD and supportive hardware and software will be objectively inferior to PS5’s setup. Both use hardware and software to support their SSDs, but the PS5’s SSD is twice as fast as the one in the XsX.
Twice as fast.
And, all Xbox first party games are launching for the One X for the next 18-24 months, so how exactly will game development for the XsX NOT be hel...
Lack of mechanical evolution, and uninspired gameplay? You must’ve played it on easy to hit your deadline, and never dove into the mechanics
Anybody that gets worked up over a story of fiction is too entitled to enjoy the story in the first place. If you don’t want to let a franchise take chances, then stick to Assassin’s Creed
It’s worth full price, they polished it in alotta unique ways.... it might be the best open world “world”
