Don't put all your eggs in one basket. The more choices you have, the better. Limiting it will only lead to more problems.

"Cloud" future means that:
1) You don't own anything, companies can block your account for any reason and bye-bye all your purchases. Or delete games that you boug-- i meant to say "rented", games that you rented, from your gaming library;
2) Less popular or failed games might just vanish one day, completely...

@-Foxtrot
Yup, feels like someone is using a saying «If you want your cow to give more milk, you have to milk it more and feed it less» as their management plan.

Do not like that it's analyzing my games and how i play them. And, looking at the block diagram in the patent, they might record and store your gaming data even if you disable this system.

In the future, imo, this might lead to pretty bad habits, Sony or developers might start advertising DLCs and microtransactions to you ("Hey, looks like you're getting killed a lot in new Dark Souls? How about buying new Moonlight Greatsword +5?") in the worst case. Or t...

@Marcy
Better options? I'd argue that, they had to spend a ton on R&D, parts provision, manufacturing, shipping and programming for Xbox Series S&X and they have to make those money back somehow. Gamepass alone will not cover that for a long-long time (because they also have to spend money paying the developers/publishers, pay upkeep costs and such). But, IMO, that's beside the point.

Regarding mobile though - again, developers don't need Micros...

You don't need Microsoft though. Even article itself mentions that they barely selling any consoles. How do you plan to sell your games?

You have a much better chance to make profits and get a fanbase if you'd release on PC than on Xbox. And you don't need Microsoft for that, you have much better alternatives (Steam, GOG, etc). Microsoft made their bed, now they lie in it.

Don't have anything to say about the Gamepass situation, but, without providing any numbers to prove his claim, i wouldn't trust Phil (before anyone else say - if you're making a claim, you have to provide confirmation; otherwise, no one should trust you).

But what's with the "Update", isn't that:
a) idiotic, because what personal data does N4G has? Email, gender, location, birthday, contact/website and gamer tags? All of which you fil...

Hope it's not another Screwball. Unless you can kill it.

Pinata enemies look awful, every hero have same-y traversal (also, is it just me or did the use some similar traversal techniques from Gotham Knights), uses guns, don't feel unique at all (as they should); don't expect much from the story, after seeing that powerful equipment being kept behind a regular glass with no one protecting it. In Arkham City, you had to fight the enemies and do some basic traversal as Bruce before you had access to Batman costume. And keep in mind, this trail...

So i've played GTA IV for 5 hours (couldn't get into it) in total and GTA V for like 10 hours (lost interest as well). Where's the rest of my money, Strauss? Or what, it should only work in your favor? Not gonna happen. Does that mean that GTA VI will be slow and full of padding? What about microtransactions? When will your greed end, Strauss?

Then why they were teasing it like 2 years ago (that "Mass Effect will continue" image)? «Look at this teaser, do you want a new Mass Effect game? Do you? Yes, you do, yes you do. Well, tough luck! Wait 6+ more years!» So ridiculous. What's the point?! Why are they hyping anything that's so far away?

Ewww. Looks like a mix of PUBG and Ghost Recon Breakpoint. And that's not a compliment. Even the video cover art looks like Breakpoint promo screenshots.

And is it just me or does looting look identical to Tarkov? Medkit on the right looks like Salewa first aid, stimulants are identical looking.

It's like the game doesn't have an original bone in its body, everything is taken. Like it's a mix of PUBG + Tarkov + Breakpoint + CoD + Battlefie...

6. Play with japanese dub
It's my personal opinion, but english Kiryu just sounds awful. In japanese, he sounds badass, as he should be.

As a tool - it's great and helps a lot sometimes, saves time and money; other times, though, it takes more time to fix everything than to do it manually. Especially in coding.

But replacing, as someone've said on n4g recently, 85% of the writers/voice actors/artists/modellers/etc, that's:
not good
should not be celebrated or painted as inevitable
should never happen

And, in my opinion, "AI" will not take ga...

I don't think Cliff Bleszinski have any understanding of what made the God Of War reboot great (judging by his previous games, after leaving Epic). And making a carbon copy of God Of War wouldn't work with Gears of War because focus is completely different.

I wish they would expand on Gears 1 and 2, more choices that lead to completely different maps, better controls, 4 players coop (1 team going map A route, 2nd team - route B) and such. Turn Judgement style challe...

I would be scared to death if some old decaying mummy was holding my hand while i was playing

No Solitaire? Bad list /s

@Ryuk_2007
Microsoft is not only top management and senior developers, you know that, right?

What about customer support stuff, junior devs, QA, engineers, hell, even security and people who clean their offices? Not everyone at Microsoft is a millionaire living in a nice house, you know.

P. S.: Hope it'll happen and will be complex RPG, not some basic one. At the very least, Remedy will make an interesting story.
