Good list but Thrill of the Fight 2 and Racket Club should be in this. TOFT 2 is one hell of a work out and even found myself watching boxing instructional videos in order to improve. Racket Club does an amazing job adapting tennis, badminton and pickleball into something that feels realistic but fits in with smaller VR spaces.
Considering Harada's comments on the last Soul Calibur, I'd be pleasantly surprised if it did turn out to be a new one. I'd say it's more than likely some fighter based on a big anime IP.
Gamers are going to be reminiscing, over the "this is an Xbox" glory days once we get Xbox Copilot powered by AI and "the power of the AI" crap they'll be trying to shove down our throats.
Nextbox going to be called Xbox Copilot
Considering MS's obsession with ai, this is probably a demotion for her. Still, I enjoy poking fun at Spencer but ultimately it's sad to see him go, he's made mistakes for sure but I think he genuinely cared about the Xbox brand. Sharma seems very corporate to me and certainly not the Spencer replacement Xbox fans would have hoped for.
You can just imagine Ubi execs banging their heads against a wall trying to fathom such madness.
In the last two years PSVR 2 has had ton of good games, Alien Rogue Incursion, Hitman VR, Arken Age, Ghost Town, Metro Awakening, Of lies and rain, Reach, Behemoth and that's just off the top of my head. Granted they are not all 10/10 masterpieces, if nothing there is compelling to you, then the problem is you and not the games.
AI is very cool, it's just all the real cool stuff is being drowned out by companies exploiting it as a marketing buzzword, generative AI slop and companies using it to cut corners and save money.
Not sure if intentionally being funny lol. isn't this like quite literally taking away people's jobs? I think SAG-AFTRA may disagree about this harming no one.,
Their entire release strategy was a mistake, I get that Apex was shadow dropped too but that was from an established studio with EA's backing. This game isn't for me but going by what I've read what people are saying, it would have benefitted massively from a few betas and the chance to grow with community feedback before the release.
But they will be making statements to the exact same effect of legitimise or manipulate markets. Instead of publishing sales figures to accurately reflect how well a game is doing, it'll be smoke and mirrors like player engagements stats.
This is Microsoft's year, just wait for E3!
Welcome to the internet.. you'll have a far better time when you stop giving value to arbitrary numbers.
Didn't even work for me, shown the £1 bit on the link provided then they went and tried to charge me full price, thankfully my bank flagged it and asked me to authorise the transaction which shown them trying to take the full £22.99
Nice try Winnie the Pooh
I've always been one for being critical of this game but, it's not a scam. I tried the game in the last free flight and it's amazing, there is nothing like it out there and likely never will be. It's still rough and definitely feels like an alpha with the bugs and placeholder features but there is a game there to play now.
However, I won't defend their MTs. How is it kept going isn't the "scam" but the cost of the ships to buy with real mo...
Phil "reverse Midas touch" Spencer certainly has a nice ring to it
Another mobile FF game nobody even asked for, this will suffer the same fate as First Soldier, releases in 2026, EoS before the end of 2027. Japanese companies just love to throw everything and the kitchen sink at the mobile market in hopes of something sticking, they'll never learn.
Yeah it's a strange term really, anybody who argues against gaming being considered a sport, I'd retort with Chess and Fishing being considered sports but you don't see Fisherman calling themselves athletes.
They haven't been relevant though for years, I doubt many people under 35 will even recognise their name. Some amazing memories though, they basically gave birth to tactical FPS games which were actually tactical.
