I can’t imagine we’ll see anything too juicy as Microsoft will save their big hitters for the Xbox Scarlett reveal.
Headline made me chuckle because it sounds like a spoof - but sure enough there is history there!
So Microsoft's new name for micro-transactions (MTX) is, and I quote, "PLAYER-FRIENDLY PURCHASE SYSTEMS"!
Stone the crows, just call a spade a spade. And, if they're that 'player friendly' they'd be free.

If true, that's pretty cool. There was a Russian track I always used to like listening to that was removed which may be back: https://www.youtube.com/wat...
I hope by now game publishers know they must imitate the movie business and secure the lifetime rights to use music in their games across all versions.
@Christopher. I see where you're coming from. The first reveals were mysterious and intriguing because they were so weird. Since then we have seen a bit of open world running which doesn't look that exciting compared to the big bombastic trailers we often see. However, I suspect and hope that there is actually a lot of action gameplay but Kojima and Sony have deliberately held back so as not to give all their secrets away. Either that or it's just a beautiful walking simulator! I...
Halo games include a variety of multiplayer modes, there’s no harm in including a battle royale mode as players will decide if they play it or not.
I think / hope that MS are working to get Halo Infinite right straight out the gate.
@Christopher. What turned you off, the pissing or playing as Geoff Keighley?!
That's great news! I've been following this game for a long time so I'm glad that it hasn't been shelved. A strong concept with fantastic music by Halo theme creator Martin O'Donnell.
I hope Microsoft allow Nintendo the right to include Diddy Kong Racing on the N64 Classic.
Which websites blindly cut and paste this story without fact checking?
Just two days ago Anthem's lead producer, Ben Irving, revealed he had left BioWare. Two high profile producers leaving in two days is significant. It may mean the company has a new focus and is restructuring with a renewed purpose. However, more often than not, it suggests that there may be tension between staff and management. I hope they work it all out because they have a legacy of great single player RPGs.
Looks great. And makes me yearn for a proper big-budget, A-team developers, Mass Effect 4.
It's good to offer players both options. Next gen will be great when you don't need to choose. Every game should, hopefully, be 4k 60fps.
Buy the one with the games you want to play.
@Obscure_Observer. It doesn't necessarily mean that the story has been 'debunked' it could simply be that Microsoft decided not to proceed with the plan. Many respected outlets were reporting the story including Windows Central (who have close links to Microsoft) and The Verge.
Also, at E3 2018 Phil Spencer talked about the next-gen he mentioned MULTIPLE new Xbox consoles, he said Microsoft is "deep into architecting the next Xbox consoles where we will o...
Hurrah! Since the first reveal Sean Murray has been teasing the possibility that No Man's Sky will be playable in VR, now a few years later it is! I've got my PSVR headset ready to go for when I'm done with work.
@Farther_Merrin Yes, you can play with regular controllers.
Inexperienced commentary for stating incorrect information. This is NOT the final stage of the PS4’s lifecycle. There is over one year to go until the PS5’s purported November 2020 release. However Sony will keep manufacturing the PS4 for at least 3+ years after that because it will be a budget entry console for new gamers and some international markets.
This is why online ‘TV’ platforms like Twitch, YouTube and Mixer will continue to grow fast.
I truly love the Elder Scrolls but I don't like mobile game mechanics where you have to wait for a long period of time to continue aspects of your game, such as chest opening, unless you spend real money so the game can continue at an ordinary pace. Also, I think having optional micro transactions that cost over £100 is exploitative. I hope micro transactions are removed from the Switch version.
Saying all that i'm craving new TES so much that I'm sure i w...
