Those seem like fair scores. B for PS5 and XSX since neither of them have really set the world alight / are pretty balanced. Switch definitely had a weaker than normal year, so C- is fair.

2022 is where it's really going to heat up for PS5 and XSX, and I expect to see them pushing into the A's next year - there are a lot more big releases next year, and more truly next-gen games / less cross-gen titles.

It’s right there in black and white.

They’re all selling like hotcakes, it’s a good time for the industry!

Switch is still blowing away milestones like there’s no tomorrow also.

I googled it for you, and you’re wrong, it’s already selling faster than the XB1 worldwide:

“Total Lead: 1,462,329 - XSX|S”

“The Xbox One did not reach current Xbox Series X|S sales until month 14 when it sold 10.30 million units.”

Sounds like they made a smart business move with the S then.

1635d ago 14 agree11 disagreeView comment

Definitely, and they’ll probably announce it like it’s an AAA remake like the Snake Eater pachinko.

It’s safe to assume there’s a lot more content yet to be announced for GamePass though - I doubt they blew their load and announced every 2022 addition in 2021. I’d even go out on a limb and say there will be games included in Januarys additions that aren’t announced yet.

I’m a PC GamePass subscriber and PS5 gamer on the console side - and I think game pass is great. The value is awesome, some of the highest rated games (and the highest rated first party exclusive) of the y...

This looks pretty neat. Cue the normal Lego-famous IP crossover pricing though.

It’s unfinished and ended up being one of the best games of the year? Imagine if it was finished!

@Rob-gp Those numbers don’t add up.

Xbox game pass ultimate is £132/yr
PS+ is £50/yr
PSNow is £50/yr
EA Play is £20/yr

So you’d be £120 a year for a somewhat equivalent service to GPU - £10 cheaper - and even then you’d still be missing the huge day 1 exclusives and no PC games, and no EA play for PC.

That’s quite a lot of value for £10 more per year.

The game does still look impressive to this day, more than games released this year for next gen consoles.

I’m excited to see what they can do with GTA on next gen hardware (assuming that is their next game).

@MrNinosan Sorry but the PSNow library is no where near as good as GP. Lacking big hitters and day 1 titles for starters.

Luckily, Sony have identified this and are working on a subscription to better compete with / match what is offered by GP.

@ElvisHuxley GP this year had games like Halo, FH5, Psychonauts etc day 1.

Which big AAA’s or first party games came to PSNow day 1? I’ll hold.

Sort of. PS+ has given a great catalog of games over the years, with some caveats though: Someone subscribing to PS today won’t get the back catalog (they will get the PS+ collection if they get a PS5 though), also games are inaccessible if you stop subscribing (but do return if you re-subscribe - I believe GWG does this too), also most games are one and done games so whether they stick around or get rotated out (like Game Pass does) doesn’t really matter.

I do hope the lo...

I mean I can’t say I’m surprised by those numbers - PS+ has had some very good games this year while GWG is basically dead at this point, and aside from being required for online play (which shouldn’t be a thing in 2021/2, nor should paid cloud saves - looking at you Sony), Gold is basically trash.

PS+ content kinda pales in comparison to GP though but from the recent rumors, Sony are planning on creating a GP competitor in early 2022 - and I’ll very likely be a subscriber ...

“The best halo game” is an extremely high bar though when you consider that the first 3 pulled in scores of 97, 95 and 94 and are in the top reviewed games of all time.

I mean for context, the original scores higher than legendary games like HL2, UC2, RE4 etc - that’s an insanely high bar to beat.

The game is a fun play, and it deserves the 87 score it got, making it one of the best games this year.

But frankly, I don’t expect them to b...

“Right but 343 has 3 halos or more under their belt. The solid foundation was already set before. This is them finally getting a real feel for what halo was years ago. In other words it's made very little progress which is fine but it's not really their doing. Bungie set that foundation and improved it with destiny.”

Bungie had set the foundation, but you assume it’s easy to just lift an existing game/IP and shift it to a new development team - it isn’t.

I highly recommend it - the game is great, even in early access, and if you loved SWAT, you’re going to love it.

GWG continues to be on life support.

If MP was free on console there would literally be no reason to subscribe to Gold.

They should just merge online play with GP already and scrap Gold (and GWG).
