Prey, Skyrim, Fallout 4, Fallout 76, and Dishonored. Not a bad start. Hopefully we get it for Dishonored 2 and some other titles in the future.

I feel fortunate to play these games for the first time at 60fps :)

phoenixwing1160d ago

I do too with my 2070 super rtx graphics card :)

Sayai jin1160d ago

Then you'll be in for a treat. The Bethesda CEO slipped up and said they have Skyrim running at 4k.

Smok911160d ago

phoenixwing You realize the psychology behind your statement? You’re compensating.

XBManiac1160d ago

Haven't you had a PC for the last 10 years?

phoenixwing1160d ago

@ smok
I'm just joining in the sentiment of playing games at 60fps and above. I didn't buy a gaming pc until last April and I've been enjoying it.

I think this is awesome that they’re able to do this. Having higher framerates are a great thing.

Father__Merrin1160d ago

Just installed dishonered 2 Il start to play properly when it's updated

Marcus Fenix1160d ago

try to give Prey a shot sometime, it's one of the most underrated games of last gen imo.

Father__Merrin1160d ago

I've had Prey for ages on EGS just never got round installing it. I've got 3 months game pass ultimate so I may just install it on here. Loved the original Prey also

darthv721160d ago

I want to see what it does for Arkham Knight.

DiRtY1160d ago

What a week for Xbox gamers.
The work and the money the people at Xbox invest in their hardware, services, features and games is ridiculous.

LOGICWINS1160d ago

Good to see Greenburg underpromising and overdelivering. In the past he'd needlessly overhype things, but when he mentioned FPS Boost for Bethesda games yesterday...he cleverly said "Not yet", leading everyone to believe that it was something we'd get down the road.

NeoGamer2321160d ago

That is quite a bit of hyperbole.

This week we saw:

1) Finalize a deal that was announced last year and was expected to go through
2) 20 Zenimax games come to gamepass. Pretty much a given when the deal came thru
3) FPS boost for Zenimax related games, again not so shocking.

There was not a single new game or gameplay from a new game showed this week.

TGGJustin1160d ago

Something to be clear about: there wasn't 20 Zenimax games added to Game Pass this week. Almost half of those were already on Game Pass.

Sitdown1160d ago

So because it was not a new game announced or new gameplay, people shouldn't be excited? You are trying way too hard to downplay this. We can expect things to happen, but until they do, there are various things that could prevent them from happening. Rejoice people, rejoice.

Highrevz1160d ago

Not this week but soon.
People are speculating that it’s either Stalker 2 or Outriders.

waverider1160d ago

And their next gen game will be first on the ps5....

Neonridr1160d ago

They explicitly stated that this was just a welcoming of sorts and to allow people to meet the devs. There was never a promise of any new game reveals or mentions. If you were disappointed by the news they shared it's because YOU created your own expectations.

King_Noctis1160d ago (Edited 1160d ago )

“ There was not a single new game or gameplay from a new game showed this week.”

Because that wasn’t the point? This week was all about MS and their successful acquisition of Bethesda/Zenimax. They said they will have another show in the summer to announce more games.

“ And their next gen game will be first on the ps5”

And most likely will be the last one as well. You might as well say goodbye to future Elder Scroll and Fallout and many others on the PS system.

NeoGamer2321160d ago

@Neonridr
I had no expectations this week. And it was good, but nothing really great happened.

badz1491160d ago

finally talking some sense. I really don't get these crowds cheering about old games

UnholyLight1159d ago

I mean considering the event was repeatedly said to contain NO news regarding new games or announcements for them and that the event shouldn't be treated as such, you should consider enjoying the fact that some big things still happened. This event was an "allow me to re-introduce myself" for the deal being finalized.

Also that Greenburg didn't overhype and overpromise was nice

NeoGamer2321159d ago

@UnholyLight
I have no problems with the events and how Microsoft did or did not hype them.

I have a problem with fans saying "What a week for Xbox gamers" and going on some wild comment about how microsoft is so great. They are a company and are after gamer's money. That is all they really want.

All Hopes I Had For A Prey Sequel Have Been Crushed — Well Done, Microsoft

The magnificent Prey was once again abandoned as Microsoft disregarded Arkane Austin's achievements and crucified it just for Redfall.

RaidenBlack4d ago

well, not entirely ... the main Arkane studio i.e Arkane Lyon's still there ...
Its only that, the sequel will take more time now ... after Blade & Dishonored 3

MrBaskerville3d ago

But who knows, Dishonored 3 could have been Austins next project, so might be cancelled.

RaidenBlack2d ago

Dishonored is Lyon's flagship IP ... Austin only assisted in the first one, the sequel was wholly developed at Lyon whilst Austin developed Prey.
If Dishonored 3 was indeed greenlit ... rest assured, it would've been helmed primarily by the Lyon studio.

-Foxtrot4d ago (Edited 4d ago )

Not even this Prey

Still longing for a sequel to the original Prey with Tommy

The studio didn't even want to call this Prey, it was just Bethesda being dicks to them for some reason.

RaidenBlack4d ago

MS closed Roundhouse Studios (ex-Human Head Studios) as well

Yui_Suzumiya3d ago

Yeah, that's who was going to do the original sequel.

bunt-custardly3d ago

Don't worry there are some other games in development that might fill that void. Look up Vigilancer.

isarai3d ago

Came here to say this, my hooes for a Prey sequel died when this "Prey" came out

Profchaos3d ago

Prey 2017 still hurts to play because what could have been looked so incredible

Profchaos3d ago

Same Bethesda basically screwed over the original developer team human head back around 2011 so it was really never going to come despite a honestly amazing trailer. I liked prey 2017 but it always held a stink of disappointment due to what we never got

FinalFantasyFanatic3d ago

I really didn't like this game, tried it because of how loved the original Prey was, played the demo of this one and thought it was garbage, it didn't feel nice/fun to play.

LostPotato4d ago (Edited 4d ago )

Keep dreaming then as Prey and Dishonored 2 did not sell well enough to get sequels.

Hence we got Deathloop and Redfall instead.

RaidenBlack4d ago

lol, Deathloop came from Prey: Mooncrash idea

Unknown_Gamer57943d ago

To everyone who cheered MS’s acquisitions, we told you so…

Inverno3d ago

Those people will just argue that Arkane Austin and Tango would've been shut down either way.

MrBaskerville3d ago

Zenimax allready put them in a tight spot by demanding them to do a multiplayer title. So it's not unlikely, considering how bad the game performed. They didn't stand a chance. MS had the money to save them and to correct Zenimax' mistakes.

I'm Replaying Skyrim (again), and So Should You

Replaying Skyrim after 13 years is a reminder of the progress made in western RPGs over the last decade, but also what's been lost.

anast40d ago

I tried, but it's a poorly made game that insults its customers.

lucian22940d ago

nah, only mods make it decent, and even then it's bad, and this is after i modded for at least 3 years

Nittdarko40d ago

Funnily enough, I'm about to play it for the first time in VR with 1000 mods to make the game playable, as is the Bethesda way
