EU has already said as much.
Microsoft can only go to court against FTC because "America".
UK/EU, the deal is dead in the water.
Officially dead in the water, Microsoft doesn't have an appeals process in the UK, can't go to UK courts, and the buck ends with CMA, so either they make these concessions or drop the deal.
Gamers win.
We've already seen that isn't the case.
That Xbox Dev Direct really showed what they have done to achieve in-game RT, and it's 360 era car models, check the BMW and Mercedes in the trailer vs Forza 4's version of those cars, no difference in quality, and the tracks from distance look worse than GT4 on PS2, that's not even a joke, plus people used to laugh at GT having cardboard trees, yep Forza for Xbox Series now has those too, all to get RT in-game, I ...
Yes, it did;
Over 6 years in development.
1,000 devs from 4 major studios were involved by the end.
$500 million budget on development and promotion.
What did people get?
A 6-hour campaign
MP with less content than Halo 2
No coop (legitimate anyway) and Forge a year late.
It deserved it!
They wasn't interested in 11x2 then? :P
PSVR2 vs XR Elite
2000x2040 pixels per eye vs 1920x1920 pixels per eye - PSVR2 win
OLED display vs LCD display - PSVR2 win
HDR vs SDR - PSVR2 win
120Hz vs 90Hz - PSVR2 win
Eye Tracing vs no eye tracing - PSVR2 win
The price is actually insulting, especially when PSVR2 is workable on PC;
PSVR2 still trashes VIVE XR Elite in almost every spec, but mainly in the important ones;
Resolution
Panel Quality
Refresh Rate
Eye Tracking
Haptic Feedback (Headset & Controllers)
Price ($550 vs $1,100)
That's completely wrong, PS5 can support dozens of versions of M.2 format, and not just Gen4 either, as DF proved, a top-end Gen3 (cheaper than Gen4 yet still vastly faster than Xbox Series SSD) works fine largely thanks to PS5 I/O tech.
PS5 offers drive support for; PCIe 3.0 and 4.0 - Sizes from 2240, 2260, and 2280 - as low as 120GB upto 4TB - starting from $15 going upto $450 (4TB model matching PS5's internal drive speed).
That's pro-consu...
Why would they, lock people to one format, charge through the nose, anti-consumer.
Not a surprise, absolutely not worth the price of admission this year, the majority of core gamers, and especially hardcore were abandoned by Xbox this year, considering they have 30~ studios + Phil said years ago he plans to have 1 AAA game release every 3 months, it's kind of shocking they've not had 1 in 12 months, and won't for another 5 at least. David Jaffe said it right, management at Xbox is at an all-time low.
It doesn't help Xbox's case when they are openly lying about what Sony's install base is.
"Where did you learn to fly?"
This, Sony paid more but gave 50 million players the opportunity to keep it forever, not just the span of 6 months.
TotalBiscuit would love this news.
Said to a friend when this was announced it would be DOA, he laughed at me, saying I was a fool... He bought the launch bundle which included the controller, let's say he wasn't impressed in the slightest when it arrived, and never used it again.
I think the insult to injury with Stadia was the price of games, and then the closing of all their internal teams soon after it released. It was a DOA platform long before it even released, once they did that, any slim chan...
Xbox working their way towards making people sign up to GP, doubling the price of Gold didn't work, so halving GWG content monthly is the next natural step, if people don't complain, expect only 1 game per month, then none.
Not at all, the things it did was just trash;
Mission structure
Malaria mechanic
Weapon mechanic - please find me a D.Eagle/AK that will go from prestige off-the-shelf new to junkyard bound in 60 rounds.
Diamond hunting
GPS system
Game was terrible on so many levels, and the colour pallet was also grim.
Far Cry 2 is nowhere near the series peak, absolutely not even in the top 3 of the Ubi numbered series;
Far Cry 5 > Far Cry 3 > Far Cry 4 > Far Cry 2/6 - IMO.
Game had some of the weirdest, idiotic design ideas, thankfully most didn't return.
Rare had more masterpieces on N64 (one of the worst selling Nintendo consoles), in 3 years than they've had in 20 years at a $2 trillion company... Mental that.
