Xbox Live Deals With Gold and Spotlight Sale Details 22nd-29th August 2017

Neil writes "Last week's Xbox Live Deals With Gold and Spotlight Sale was full to the brim with special offers on numerous Season Passes and DLC packs. In fact, the vast majority of discounts over the last seven days have been geared much more to the gamer who wants to get a bit more out of the titles they already own. But that is no good for those of us who want to grab a new game. 

But fear not as the Xbox Live Deals With Gold and Spotlight Sale for 22nd-29th August 2017 is now in place, and with Gamescom in full swing, there's a whole load of new bargains to check out. Want all the details?"

Fallout 4 from PlayStation Plus Essentials Can Be Upgraded for Free

After fears the free upgrade would be limited to the PlayStation Plus Extra/Premium version, and Bethesda Softworks removing mention of the upgrade being free for all, it turns out PlayStation Plus Essential owners can get the upgrade for free. - IS

Super happy to see this was eventually resolved for PlayStation Plus Essential owners as well!

Bethesda addressed this the other day. There was no fear... just impatience.

P_Bomb1d 11h ago

Expecting something to work at launch is impatience?

TheJacksofAll12h ago

No that’s called entitlement

admiralvic1d 11h ago

They said they were looking into it, followed by only giving news about Extra, and then editing out the “free for all” message. You don’t think all of this wouldn’t give some reasonable doubt?

More than a few people bought a copy of this game during this time. So, it worked out as planned.

How Bethesda Fumbled Fallout 4's Sudden Popularity With The Next-Gen Update

Fahad from eXputer: "Bethesda rolled out a messy next-gen Fallout 4, ruining the experience of many new and returning players after the TV show's success."

RaidenBlack1d 20h ago

Fallout London would've been the perfect return gift for Fallout fans after watching the Prime show

EazyC1d 3h ago

Bethesda could have kicked them some cash about a year ago and collaborated to make it a full scale thing

RaidenBlack23h ago

or atleast given them a heads up regarding the current-gen update

LordoftheCritics22h ago

My perfectly modded game just died.

Abear2121h ago

Yeah, they had so much time and that show budget, holy shit, you’re telling me they had no time to put together a game with how long they knew about the show coming?

Blame Starfield.

Profchaos1d 3h ago

I think they chose right 4 was the most accessible fallout to date however I really wish 3/NV got some switch love or psvr2 ports

MrDead1d 2h ago (Edited 1d 2h ago )

They didn't fix the major bugs that have been plaguing the game since release and they broke mods and every modded save. Good work.

phoenixwing1d ago

They've been ruining their mod scene for elder scrolls skyrim as well. If they're barely increasing the graphics then it's a complete waste since molders already had done better.

raWfodog21h ago(Edited 21h ago)

I don't use the mods, but why do they even offer mod support if they constantly break them with their updates?

anast21h ago

Modders fix their game for free. They use that information to do an update of their own and paly it off like it was all them.

Futureshark1d 1h ago

Well....Bethesda! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

on_line_forever1d 1h ago (Edited 1d 1h ago )

I like the show BUT i can't play the game

Bethesda = poor quality games

Abear2121h ago

Skyrim exists so you are wrong, although, that took being re-released 6 times on newer hardware and countless patches, but now it’s a good game.

Crows9020h ago(Edited 20h ago)

Skyrim isn't much better. Morrowind was their A game...but they abandoned that direction in favor of the low quality game but accessible offering in Skyrim.

anast19h ago

Billions is spent on cheap plastic trinkets each year all of which are poor quality. In fact, it is a fact that poor quality sells more that good quality. Skyrim existing supports this.

Fallout 4's next-gen upgrade launch could have gone better

Digital Foundry writes: "It's all a bit baffling. Patch notes describe a 4K 60fps performance mode, a 4K 30fps/40fps quality alternative (depending on whether you are running on a 60Hz or 120Hz display) and a 1440p ultra settings variant. This seems to have been delivered for PS5, but there are problems with Xbox Series X. The performance/quality mode toggle does not work. The evidence suggests that Series X is locked to performance mode only. Disabling this on Series X doesn't seem to change anything - and visuals are notably cut back not only up against PlayStation 5's quality mode, but also against the Xbox One X 4K 30fps back-compat variant you could play last week."
