This looks absolutely beautiful. It demonstrates that Microsoft has a vision for where gaming should be going. Sadly I fear that Sony with its cloud-only PS Portal machine will be left behind in the dust. These are the closing days of the PS5 era.
But will it have micro-stutters?
It looks good to me! The graphics are lovely, the story premise is classic GTA. The world feels GTA but with extra detail. The delay is disappointing but at least now we have a tangible countdown to its release. And I love the hazy skies that evoke this nostalgic Vice City feels.
@MrDead Quite an astute observation.
The game world is probably closer to USA 2013 than 2025.
Stone the crows.
This came out of nowhere.
If you’re sure you want one get it before the price rise.
Microsoft must’ve been made aware of Rockstar’s delay, that’s why it felt safe announcing price rises. Otherwise it would never make its consoles more expensive when GTA VI is out if PS5 is cheaper.
@ThinkThink "Gamepass is looking better every day. $80 For 1st party games is wild." I agree that for Xbox console owners who are not already subscribed then Game Pass become more worthwhile - for roughly the equivalent of three full price Xbox games. However, I suspect Game Pass will be a harder sale to people outside of the Xbox console ecosystem but using the Xbox app on Fire TV, iOS Samsung etc.
I want to try out the patch, I want to complete the game - but I can't because I can't get past the first world. And before you jump to tell me to 'get good' I tried and I couldn't!
That stark difference between sales on the different platforms, 96% on PS5 and 4% on Xbox, is much larger than I think anyone was expecting. The only people buying it on Xbox are likely the ardent physical game collector enthusiasts.
It demonstrates that including premium games as day one freebies with subscription services kills off any demand from consumers to purchase them. If Microsoft had 100 million Game Pass subscribers this business model would be profitable for it ...
@ObscureO said: "Hard to see this as a win for Sony when their games are being drowned out on their own store and their players are giving their money to Microsoft instead of Sony... 30% is less than the 100% they would get if you bought their game instead."
Yes, if a customer decides to buy a game and chooses an Xbox published title over a PlayStation published game then Sony will receive less profit from that person's purchase. However, it is short-sighted t...
‘GTA V Gets Pulled from PS Plus as PC Players Continue to Favor Legacy Over Enhanced’
That’s an awful clickbait title. The use of the word ‘as’ means the first statement is the result of the second, when in reality they’re not connected.
@InUrFoxHole said “Playstation owners buy games? That's a wild badge of honor my boy.”
This Tuesday after The Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion was finally revealed I saw a tonne of conversation on X/Twitter of people gleefully mocking PS5 owners who said they were buying the game, as they were getting it for free with Game Pass. Yes, that’s great value for people with a Game Pass subscription - but do you still not see how it has impacted the Xbox hardware platform? It’s the r...

It can't hold a candle to the QuickShot II Turbo with its gorgeous red and black decoy.
BOO!
Pushing the [X] off the wall! I remember reading about that in a preview/ review of the game and it sounded so immersive.
The fact that the leaked box art says the game is called The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion REMASTERED leads me to suspect that perhaps, it may, perchance, possibly be a remaster.

Don’t you get tired of this crap? Creating new accounts to cheerlead for a brand that doesn’t know you exist - and if it did it wouldn’t care. Come on man, get out and enjoy life.
Sony helped finance Jade Raymond to set up her own studio, then bought it. So even though Haven has yet to release a single game, whatever happened she's made millions. Not bad!
