Tom's Hardware:
The Phenom II X4 965 BE is a capable performer able to drop into very affordable Socket AM3 motherboards and deliver exceptional value in almost any discipline. At any other time, that'd be cause for recommendation.
We're less than a month away from Intel's LGA 1156 Core i5/i7 launch, though, and AMD's willingness to discount CPUs and motherboards is perhaps indicative of the potential impact the new platform might have. AMD wants to sell as many processors as it can between now and then-before competitive pressure compels it to possibly engage in a pricing battle.
If you're faithful to AMD hardware, today's launch makes for a great opportunity to pick up a processor and motherboard at a discounted price. Given its performance versus Intel's Core 2 Quad and complementary low-priced platforms, we certainly see no fault in the latest Phenom II X4 flagship.
Bethesda Game Studios writes: We are so grateful to the over 4 million of you that have already ventured into Cyrodiil with Oblivion Remastered. Thank you!
Congrats goes to Todd and everyone at Bethesda and team Xbox for another huge milestone!
Hopefully after this huge success, Phil might greenlit New Vegas Remastered powered by UE5 as well.
Fingers crossed!
I wish for, at the very least, maybe Fallout 3 remaster? I mean the success of the show proves that not just hardcore gamers are ready for a great updated Fallout game. I believe it could potentially be even more successful than the Oblivion remaster. But I do like your idea of a New Vegas UE5 , because I actually never played that. Bethesda are better under Microsoft, I agree with you now after this "remaster". It's much cheaper and faster to do something like this for an old classic game. Reminds me of when Capcom started doing that with RE2. Gamer goodwill became skyhigh for Capcom. Fingers crossed indeed
F3 Remastered already came out on the court documents, so unless it was cancelled, which sounds unlikely as it would the best they can hope to have to match any releases of the TV show since F5 isn’t coming out any time soon.
That said, I do agree that if this has proven to be a hit and I don’t see why F3 wouldn’t be if it gets the same level of treatment, they will probably want to do more
It's on GamePass. According to Steam DB: it has a 190k peak, which is not close to 4 mil. It didn't even reach 500k on Twitch stats and owner estimations are hovering around 1 mil or less.
Well done, despite not getting exact sales, this is still great news because the budget for this and the development time wouldn't have been much at all when compared to a full 6 or 7 year development window and the cost that would entail. So it does seem like a great success and even better when you consider that they shadow-dropped it without paid marketing. Hope this team is already past pre-production on another "remaster" of another classic, I'm personally hoping for Fallout 3 remaster
Microsoft realised how stupid they had been and delayed following Sega's example.
There you go MS, worldwide lots more people own PS5 or PC than Xbox. You got the money you're desperate for.
To be truly Sega, don't bother releasing a new console. Just focus on software.
"To be truly Sega, don't bother releasing a new console. Just focus on software."
MS will continue to release new consoles as they´ll continue and make tons of money out PC, PS5 and Switch 2 as well.
Gamers on other platforms will happily pay full price for amazing Xbox games while we get everything day one on Game Pass.
It´s a win win for everyone.
The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered is a reflective lens that highlights RPG evolution while proving the appeal of certain design philosophies.
That fall continues.
