šŸ¤” I've actually never played the Assassin Creed games and i've decided to remedy that. I picked up the Ezio Collection, Odyssey and Origin as well as already having Black Flag and Unity (as it was bundled with my Xbox One just never played them) am I missing anything as far as required to play games?

raven nacelle
#

i mean, that depends

#

AC1 is awful, but its worth watching a story breakdown on youtube for it if you care about lore

#

you should pick up AC rogue remastered, and pick up the season pass for odyssey so you gain access to AC3 and AC liberation HD

#

play order is watch the story synopsis or breakdown of 1, then the ezio trilogy in order (AC2, AC brotherhood, AC revelations), then 3, black flag, rogue, unity, syndicate, origins, odyssey, valhalla

#

you'll need to grab syndicate

#

forgot that one šŸ™‚ my bad

rotund knoll
#

I guess I mean purely from a these are the best perspective

raven nacelle
#

oh, AC2, brotherhood, AC black flag, AC origins and AC odyssey, the rest can be skipped if you only care about which games are the best, but if you at all care about figuring out the plot, i gave you the full play order

#

if you want only the games that dont feel janky as hell in 2020, you want to play origins and odyssey and forget the rest of the series exists

raven nacelle
#

Can anyone Help me. The Controller calibration is going crazy in my computer

#

I installed the Xbox Controller in my Windows 10 pc

raven nacelle
#

oh, they're not here. rip

#

@rotund knoll Most people say unity is bad but I honestly like it, you should try it out before just avoiding it if you intended to. Also, most of the AC games are good IMO, it's just harder to go back and play them

young basalt
#

Minus the bugs at launch, Unity was great. I enjoyed the story.

Well then, it seems the Xbox Summer Game Fest Demos are already out. Time to download the Skatebird and Destroy All Humans demos

young basalt
#

I preordered Destroy All Humans. I’m just going to wait till the full launch. Can’t wait though, it looks great.

#

Hmm, it seems not all demos have been put up yet, Skatebird is definitely missing

@sudden igloo Luca is at it again.

#

Yeah I read about this, someone attached it to Xbox Showcase. maybe possible

#

if so thats a big surprise incoming

raven nacelle
#

MS and Ubi have been partnered for next Gen around marketing, so yeah. It’s possible

young basalt

I just think it’s funny how he’s really the only one constantly teasing the game.

gamestop was having a sale (buy 2 pre-owned games get 2 free), so i bought Red Dead GOTY, Fallout 3 GOTY, Far Cry 4, and also Just Cause 3

#

everything went okay in the checkout process, but i didn't look in the bag until after i left the store, and realized they accidentally gave me Just Cause 4 instead of 3 but still charged me for 3

#

considering i already had 4 on PC and didn't want my brother guilt tripping me, i took 4 back, and they gave me a sealed day one copy of 3 that had a fully working code for the day one DLC and a code for Just Cause 2 too

#

so i technically got 5 games for the cost of 2... lol

vagrant timber
#

it pays to be honest!

smoky dew
#

tbh jc 3 > jc4 so you made the right decision

past whale
#

yeah that’s another reason why it didn’t matter all too much

#

either way I got a game, and in my case, two games and the best version of one of them

Is no man's sky worth buying now? i've been looking at videos on it, but i need a definitive answer

winter escarp
#

I'd personally say it is just for the whole story behind it, but as I understood it's really good now

raven nacelle
#

When it released it was a literal scam as devs did almost nothing they promised but they eventually added their promises and more. They're still adding stuff.

past whale
#

@wintry garnet I'm probably biased in saying this, but in my opinion, it's definitely worth it

#

I'd recommend doing some research on the game itself before picking it up just to ensure you know what you're getting into

#

the UI can be a bit cumbersome and there's a VERY heavy grind in the early parts of the game, but once you get the hang of it, it's a massive time waster

I thought they had many games already?

Or these games are bootlegs?

Got played today by Fast & Furious Crossroads, store listing said $7, now says $60. Saved up reward points for nothing.

#

Its gonna take atleast till october for me to get it😫

eager stream
#

It will go on sale before then. It's not a high quality game.

rugged agate
#

Like how soon?

#

saying youre right

eager stream

ĀÆ_(惄)_/ĀÆ

rugged agate
#

I assume before the end of the month

eager stream
#

Not necessarily. There's no way to know.

#

But I don't think it's going to sell as well as they hope for a premium price and will likely see a sale before October.

rugged agate
#

ok, yea i expected it to be $30 at most

fleet cloud

@delicate jolt yes

Is it worth it to buy eso greymoor collectors edition? It’s on sale on Xbox, but idk if I should get it or not. Not the upgrade, the full edition that comes with eso and all collectors of all chapters so far.

Wow, a Harvest Moon game is finally on Xbox

#

too bad it's a puzzle spinoff and not a main game, but i'll take what I can get

Hi

raven nacelle
#

Can the Xbox community get fall guys on Xbox

boreal terrace
#

Yah I really want fall guys it looks really fun

outer harbor
#

You should go ask the devs / publisher of the game

#

they are the ones who will decide that

dreamy storm
#

I think it would boost the game a lot if they added it to xbox

Hi

Regarding FF7, I personally would wait for the remake.

i wonder if young horses games will bring bugsnax to xbox

Well it takes time to make games, if you haven't noticed
@violet sky
I doubt it takes that long to just port your exact same game to other platforms like minecraft for an example

@violet sky
I doubt it takes that long to just port your exact same game to other platforms like minecraft for an example
@rough coral

Yes but you also need to get a engine to run you game on the platform map controls trough out the entire story code that engein to be able to run and render you game get the game approved by that consol creater and possibly re-render your entire game to make it more suitable to run on a mid tier machine such as a consol

I just quoted a quarter

Just finished up Mortal Shell. I highly recommend it for those who are interested in the Souls-like genre (or those who might want to try it out). Well worth the budget price in my opinion.

#

I'll hope it sells well so we can see Crysis 2 and 3 remaster

young basalt
#

Can’t wait to play it next month.

slim barn
#

why all the remasters sure great games but i do not see why some gamers want rehashed content on a new system

#

Its just a money Graper they cant even be bothered to remake all 3 at once in one game they make they one at a time and likley chrage $60 for each

raven nacelle
#

not every game needs a remaster. but some are timeless

#

some deserve it

#

Halo 3 and ODST deserve it. Maybe one day

buoyant rose
#

What about Halo Reach, the best halo of all

#

The last halo game by bungie

raven nacelle
#

that one doesn't need a remaster currently

slim barn
#

I not sure that is really needed I mean we have MCC and thats fine. At least Microsoft done the right thing and put all of them together in one bundle.

rotund knoll
#

tbh any effort put in a 3 and ODST remaster should be put on getting Halo 5 in MCC imo

random fulcrum
#

halo 5 in mcc would make it way to big

#

a 200 gb game

#

game wasn't even that good anyways

#

most hated halo game

lucid lily
#

is the only way to get a dlc pack on black ops 4 through the black ops pass

muted urchin
#

does ea access have game sharing? im wanting to buy it on my alt then game share with my main

raven nacelle
#

@slim barn if H3A happened I'd want them to make it a purchased DLC for MCC.

#

Halo 3/ODST base is in MCC, but you can pay for the H3:A/ODST:A DLC that adds the anniversary content for it.

haughty shard
#

For those who’ve played Rage 2, should I start Rise of Ghosts before a NG+? Also, do locations reset their collectibles on a NG+?

graceful vigil
#

most hated halo game
hated or not but it's still a game with MC and since h4 is in the bundle, h5 deserves a place in it too

#

chief wasn't there in Reach (speaking from a 'just got my hands on reach' player perspective) yet it came into mcc so a game with mcc should be included as well, at least that's my opinion

#

and also......they could also do a big brain move and add campaign to the already existing Halo 5 forge in pc

Will the new call of duty be available to pre order when it get revealed today

Thoughts on Assassin creed valhalla

#

Dunno, it’s not out yet

Judging by the trailers origins oddesy and Valhalla look the same and worse I didn’t like origins much but the sights of Egypt were good though

I'm not excited for Valhalla in the slightest. I guess I'm suffering from series fatigue

lethal zephyr
#

The way Black Ops Cold War was announced was pretty cool, glad warzone will be a normal mode that will be in CoD for now on.....the only thing I hate is you need pay 10$ extra for next gen version? I’ll rather just play last gen version at that point.

Better than having to buy a completely different copy, or buy it twice.

do you guys think they'll port over yakuza 3-6 anytime soon ?

#

7 feels too new for a port so

raven nacelle

because 7 isn't a port

compact cradle

yeah ik

#

im talking about. games being ported. to xbox

#

7 came out this year

raven nacelle

Yes. I know. 7's not out yet

It releases later this year.

I don't see why they won't bring the others to xbox though, but only time will tell

compact cradle
#

nice nice!

#

i think they'll remake 3, i think 4 is when they used the current engine, so it should be fine?

raven nacelle
#

6 was

compact cradle
#

or 5. i dunno

#

oh ok swag

#

but yeah i think. 3-5 should be. remastered? not like kiwami, but just a remaster

raven nacelle
#

If they did it, it'd be Kiwami

compact cradle
#

i mean fair but, they're too recent to be adding a bunch of new features
but then again it could take YEARS for them to even remake them so

raven nacelle
#

don't underestimate SEGA

#

developing the initial game takes longer than remastering/remaking for them

restive cypress
#

I think a Kiwami 3 would be awesome, because it aged really poorly. 4 and 5 are still great

compact cradle
#

i hope they remake them because i want more 0 tie ins

restive cypress
#

Yeah, I'm starting Kiwami 2, and 0 was such a good game

#

Kiwami 1 was good too, but Majima Everywhere took way more time than it should've

compact cradle
#

gotcha now, kiryu-chan

#

currently on kiwami 1, finished 0 about a week ago

restive cypress
#

The difference between Kiwami 1 and 2 is insane, graphically wise. I hope the gameplay will still be as good tho.

compact cradle
#

sometimes i look at 1 majima and then look an kiwami majima and sob

lethal zephyr
#

There’s no reason on why next gen games are going be 70 dollars. Imagine if I bought PC version and to raise up visuals and FPS, it asked me to pay 10$ more? Maybe if it was single player game? But for multiplayer games with micro transactions, doesn’t make sense raise price.

bold mortar
#

Yeah I can see where you're coming from

river moat
#

The price of games hasn’t changed in 15 years and everything else is more expensive. It wasn’t going to last forever.

#

I mean, Taco Bell tacos are no longer 59 cents.

wraith sand
#

but tacos come fully packaged when you pay for it, and they have no other distribution method but, you going to the store. Games don't compare to tacos, they've became digital (no shipping, packaging, printing fees), and they include microtransactions to further generate revenues after the sale.

slim barn
#

Game's still have a outlay just like anything has a outlay and a cost. That cost is not the same it was 15 years ago. If you take inflation into account games have come down in price not up

fervent badger
#

We LiKe FoRtNiTe

velvet meadow
#

Going to the movies costs 4x what it did when I was a kid. Vehicles cost at least double. Houses? Don't even get me started....

But games...games aren't allowed to go up in price at all. Even though we went bigger and better looking ones every year.

river moat
#

It's hard to believe someone thinks that the cost of paying the developers who make the games hasn't gone up. Salaries have definitely gone up, but enjoy those taco wrappers.

split lichen
#

Don't digital sales reduce manufacturing costs and hasn't the market size increased? Has the game industry become less profitable than it was before? It's not like they haven't added microtransactions. Only games that you get everything with a fixed and reasonable price should get away with a price increase.

#

I'm willing to pay more if that's the only payment I need to make. (DLC is fine, if it adds content beyond cosmetics)

#

Mixed monetization schemes ruin enjoyment in my opinion. Either go full free-to-play with microtransactions or a full priced game. A full priced game with free-to-play mechanics is ridiculous.

#

It has gotten to a point where publishers felt comfortable charging more than $10 to change the xp multiplier from 1 to 1.5 in a purely single player game. (AC Odyssey)

eager stream
#

Not devs, publishers.

split lichen
#

Doesn't change the point

#

At all

eager stream
#

No, but it's still an important distinction.

split lichen
#

I fixed it

eager stream
#

Most of the crappy decisions in gaming come from the publishers, not the developers.

split lichen
#

You can't tell that the devs didn't design the xp system and determine its original earning rate.

#

No publisher controls how much xp a quest or enemy gives

eager stream
#

Sure, they built it in, but that would not have been their decision.

#

The publisher would have said the game needed XP boosters etc, so then it was up to the devs to balance the game around it and build them in.

split lichen
#

Let's ignore where the blame goes, are you defending the practice?

eager stream
#

Not at all.

#

I fully agree that the increase in pricing while still keeping in the mtx is gross. I've never been a fan of mtx and would have preferred a marginal increase in game cost all along.

split lichen
#

Iteration by iteration it keeps getting worse, because people keep justifying it.

eager stream
#

But I'm just pointing out that these are not developer decisions. These are decisions from the publishers and the big jobs who get the multi-million dollar bonuses.

split lichen
#

I agree, in most cases it is probably like you say.

#

But people need to stop using this as a shield for the practice.

eager stream
#

I don't think anyone is using 'It's the publishers, not the developers' as a shield for the practice. They're just clarifying where the blame lies, so the wrong people aren't getting the crap for it.

#

Because developers get a lot of hate and abuse for things that are waaaaaaay out of their control.

split lichen
#

I don't see people do that. It is mostly used as a deflection. I see more "you are wrong" than " yes, it's bad, but you are targeting the wrong group."

eager stream
#

Well, I can't say I've seen that myself, but okay.

split lichen
#

Scroll up to see how Em justifies microtransactions.

#

"Dev salaries have gone up."

eager stream
#

I'm good. I don't have time to be drawn into this kind of topic.

split lichen
#

I don't think that's the issue here.

#

It's not that old. It's right above my first message.(The one you replied to.)

#

I understand though.

eager stream
#

I already saw it.

split lichen
#

Well, I can't say I've seen that myself, but okay.
Just wanted you to see it

eager stream
#

But I'm not getting further involved because I'm busy.

Em, if you read this, I'm interested in your response since you probably know more about the industry.

#

I don’t understand what’s so hard to get, salaries have gone up since 2005. Studios can’t attract developers without competitive salaries. Games can’t be made without devs. The cost of games hasn’t gone up in all that time, so the free market will find a way.

#

I wasn’t talking about microtransactions anyway, I don’t know where you got that idea.

#

It should be obvious from the chat history I was talking about the seeming trend of increasing base game prices from $60 to $70

split lichen
#

There’s no reason on why next gen games are going be 70 dollars. Imagine if I bought PC version and to raise up visuals and FPS, it asked me to pay 10$ more? Maybe if it was single player game? But for multiplayer games with micro transactions, doesn’t make sense raise price.
You were replying to this but failed to address the last point.

#

Hence the confusion

river moat
#

I felt no need to address the last point.

#

In general the cost of making games has gone up, so a base price change makes sense to me

split lichen
#

The claim that the cost of games hasn't gone up is untrue, if you consider all the new monetization methods added since then.

river moat
#

Picking apart the ways price increases are implemented is not an interesting problem to me.

split lichen
#

The base price used to be the only price

#

I'm fine with even doubling that if it remains that way.

#

But it clearly hasn't

river moat
#

When I said it wasn’t interesting to me, I meant it. The only thing I took issue with is the thought that there is ā€œno reasonā€ for price increases.

split lichen
#

There's "no reason" for price increases if you are going to keep microtransactions other than corporate profit.

#

If a price increase is going to get rid of those then I'm all for it.

river moat
#

😓

raven nacelle
#

Lol, that's not how it works. You don't sell stuff to compensate other stuff's loss

split lichen
#

Any game company making a loss?

#

Please share

raven nacelle
#

It's a no brainer as Em explained already I won't repeat her words again

split lichen
#

It's words, but it lacks data backing it up.

raven nacelle
#

As long as it makes sense data is not needed. She works at world's second biggest company so I'd take her words as data

split lichen
#

She has a vested interest. More of reason to need data.

raven nacelle
#

What you're saying is "Apple increased iPad prices to cover iPhone losses"

Which makes no sense

split lichen
#

I'm saying there are no losses

#

Only varying amounts of profit

raven nacelle
#

Mtx isn't a cover up to less profit fron game sales

#

It's just a way to skim our wallets lol

split lichen
#

Exactly

raven nacelle
#

So why you're arguing?

split lichen
#

Are you happy with the state of affairs?

raven nacelle
#

Not at all but I have not a word on gaming industry

split lichen
#

It's just a way to skim our wallets lol
You unironically support this?

raven nacelle
#

Nope? But the fact that mtx exists doesn't affect the fact that game sales are less profitable for reasons Em stated

split lichen
#

Mtx are still profits

#

I don't see how the type matters

raven nacelle
#

Let's say you're Xbox

frail pollen
#

Is every person who is buying a $60 game purchasing $20 worth of MTX?

split lichen
#

Games that don't have them can increase the price

raven nacelle
#

And you notice game sales are less profitable because expenses are increasing

#

What would you do

frail pollen
#

$60 in 2005 is $80 now. If the answer is unequivocally yes, then I'll stop, but we know through reports that it's not the case.

split lichen
#

I don't think games are any less profitable now than they were before.

#

Also digital sales should have decreased expenses to an extent

vagrant timber
#

asking Em for data is asking her to research something you can research yourself

split lichen
#

The person who makes the claim needs to present the data. Burden of proof 101

vagrant timber
#

no, they don't

frail pollen
#

Ill leave my two cents by stating that as a person in the US who is going to live till 90, I'm going to rely on retirement funds, which includes investments in stock. I'm all for companies finding ways to make as much profit as possible to my shares go up. The market dictates what they will accept. This sounds less of a discussion on the matters at hand and more of a want for everyone to agree with you blindly.

vagrant timber
#

you can believe her or not, that's on you

outer harbor
#

By that logic, you made the claim games are just as profitable with $60 without MTX

#

prove it

split lichen
#

Are the companies growing larger everyday?

raven nacelle
#

Step to step

  1. A Company sells B and C product
  2. B's expenses are increased but C makes more profit
  3. Company increases B's price to cover it up

It's that simple

outer harbor
#

Roaringcactus, I'm waiting for you to prove that the cost of making a game hasn't changed in the last 15 years, and games are just as profitable selling games for $60 without MTX

#

By your own statement, the burden of proof lies on you

split lichen
#

It definitely has

frail pollen
#

Also, cost varies depending on game

raven nacelle
#

It has nothing to with C product, which mtx

split lichen
#

But the sales numbers and market share have gone up similarly

outer harbor
#

You still haven't shown any burden of proof Roaringcactus.

Even if it wasn't paywalled, value of a global market doesn't prove anything. Value doesn't show operating margin, profits, losses, growth from just increased number of companies, etc

The question I have is, Em, Cecil or any of the Xbox staff here have no word over game prices.

So what you're trying to prove them?

split lichen
#

That the increase is not for benign reasons like dev salaries

raven nacelle

Like, even if they say "OMG you're right we should give away games for free" they can't make that real

I bought the xp boost for Assassin's creed Odyssey

#

I hated doing that

#

But I simply didn't have the time to grind

#

That's a small anecdote on how this is possible

vagrant timber
#

that's the thing tho, they're totally 100% optional (it can be argued that for some games they aren't really optional), the consumer doesn't have to buy them. they don;t have to buy DLC either - I rarely buy DLC myself, even for games I really enjoy, like Assassin's Creed - I don't think I've bought any since AC3

#

when it comes to the mobile games I like, I actually enjoy having the option to pay if I want to show the devs support. and I do: Pokemon Go, Merge Dragons, Township, and even Gems of War on Xbox - once in a while I'll buy some of the in-game currency when I've realized I've been enjoying their free game so much

split lichen
#

Microtransactions make 100% sense in F2P

vagrant timber
#

hmm, some people seem to have an "us vs them" mentality about the companies that make their games - it sounds like you have that? I don't, maybe it's just because I've been in the industry, but I like to think that I'd appreciate the devs even it I hadn't

split lichen
#

That's fair. It wasn't "us vs. them" before, but sure feels that way when they feel comfortable charging more than $10 changing the xp multiplier( a single digit of code) to make the game feel playable when the ultimate version cost $140CA and the base game $80.

#

This is just 1 example.

#

It's also a purely single player game.

Me and Rhinne discussed this before, the devs are not the ones we are blaming.

How far off is Black Desert Online from PC now? I heard it was 3 years apart at launch but what about now? I tried to look it up but didn't find the answer though. Kept saying 3 years which isn't now I believe so I figured it probably wasn't being talked about that much after launch

raven nacelle
#

The real question @ebon peak is when does a console mmo come out that the pc is behind console!

#

Maybe blessed?

ebon peak
#

I don't keep track of other MMO for the console, but I figured PC is never behind since that's where MMORPG came from, but if Console is behind then I would expect to see it catch up eventually though, Like maybe completely, or months apart instead of 3 years like at launch.

Blessed being an exception since it was design for Xbox instead

raven nacelle
#

Black desert didn’t look very good on xbox one s

#

Black desert is a good fishing game

ebon peak
#

I just wish I can play BDO on Xbox instead because I think controls are better on Controller, but if it never catches up then I'll have to play on PC instead to get more content out of the game. That's why I'm asking, lol XD

It does support 120fps. Both S and X do.

@bronze magnet Smarter choice than the series S to be honest

bronze magnet

@raven nacelle yeah I agree. It's more powerful and will do 4k unlike Series S.

I'm using an external SSD as well so that evens the playfield even more lol. Not a fan of Series S tbh

#

The much better cpu in Series S will allow 60fps, but eh I don't care really

raven nacelle
#

Xbox Series Patches run a bit differently than X Enhanced patches

bronze magnet
#

yeah I heard. Hopefully devs balance that well enough

#

I'm pretty much expecting 4k 30fps on One X in future titles, no way it'll get more fps. It might even have to start using checkerboarding or lower res

raven nacelle
#

in a lot of cases there's no enhancements to past titles like there is on newer consoles

#

so the games just run as they did at launch but maybe with a more stable framerate

#

Watch_Dogs 1 and 2 are examples of this

bronze magnet
#

yeah true enough. I did check the Xbox pages for AC Valhalla and Watch Dogs and it claims there'll be One X enhancements, but in "a future content update" which hopefully is a day 1 patch

raven nacelle
#

Valhalla and Legion, yes.

bronze magnet
#

I dont plan on using the One X that long, just for a year at most until I get a Series X

#

Was a good deal on Ebay so I took it. it's really good condition, came with original box and RDR2

#

I know Cyberpunk for sure is gonna have One X enhancements at launch lol, because Series X will be using it until It gets a Series X patch

Game Pass is a very good deal, especially if you're new to Xbox as it will give you hundreds of games from day one. I'd also recommend looking at existing titles as well as launch stuff, as a lot of them will be getting Series S/X enhancements.

For launch day stuff, you've got AC Valhalla, Dirt 5, Watch Dogs Legion (slightly before launch, but close enough).

From Game Pass there's Doom Eternal, A Plague Tale Innocence, Forza 7/Horizon 4, Destiny 2, Outer Worlds, Halo Master Chief Collection, Gears of War, Minecraft etc.

You can check out all the games at https://www.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-game-pass/games

I played it only for 10 hours but it's pretty fun. Odyssey is pretty similar to Origins but I liked that one a lot so it's fine with me. I am very much looking forward to playing Valhalla day one.

For no mans sky, Will the free next gen upgrade work with the Xbox one disc, or do we get a free next gen disc?

raven nacelle

You get an free upgrade

You download the digital version on Series S/X when you put in your XB1 disc.

if i already have an xbox one should i get the nintendo switch or ps4

#

ive heard alot about nintendo having very good exclusives such as zelda and mario

outer harbor
#

Entirely up to what types of games you like, but there are great exclusives on those platforms. On Switch, my personal favorites have been Animal Crossing, Super Smash Bros. all the various Super Mario games (Odyssey, the 64-bit bundle with 64, Sunshine, and Galaxy, Super Mario Maker, etc)

dire coral
#

so far im leaning towards the switch.... i already have my xbox to play cod and games like that and the switch games seem amazing.

#

i think imma get the switch

Awesome šŸ™‚

On the other hand, PS4 has really good games like Ghost of Tsushima and The Last of Us. Plus Spiderman!

yeah. there was a tweet sent out, it's very much confirmed as upscaled on PS5

Upscaled 4k is better imo but it's a matter of opinion. Basically indistinguishable and can be less taxing on system.

If i play fortnite on my xbox is it better to have a 23 inch monitor or my 42 inch tv?
i already have the massive tv but its hard to play having to look at a massive area.

im thinking of getting the 23 inch for christmas, should i or should i keep using my big tv

#

I really wish Remedy would say what the next gen enhancements for Control are and if it's on launch or what

sudden igloo
#

you need the Ultimate edition for the next-gen upgrade, and looking at its PC version with raytracing likely will be the same

raven nacelle
#

I actually have the ultimate edition so I can play it when I get my Xbox but there's no footage or real details of if it's actually going to be different or if it's just going to be back compatible on X launch

#

Like there's literally nothing being shown by 505 or remedy of next gen versions so it may be an update later on

slim barn
#

all games that run on xbox one will run on series X and S confirmed by Microsoft awhile ago now. If you want the bells and whistle version of control you need to have the ultimate edition

raven nacelle
#

I do have the ultimate edition it's just remedy hasn't shown what improvements are being made for it is my issue basically

#

Despite the release of the console nearing

@quiet cypress you asked this same question earlier
@raven nacelle ok i wont just nobody answered there so I decided to ask here

You were pinged with the answer

So yes, someone answered you. I should know since I'm the one that did it.

Does anyone know how i enable or turn off raytracing on XSX? Can’t seem to find it in the settings?

eager stream
#

It's set within each game.

#

Some games have it enabled by default with no option to disable, others will give you options like high frame rates performance modes with no ray tracing, or graphics modes with ray tracing and other effects.

terse delta
#

Ok, so in Watchdogs Legion, i can’t find any settings for it. So only on by default?

Yes

Hello guys , I am looking to buy AC Valhalla CD for my series X , But I am failing to find it , so should I go for the Xbox one version and I will get excatly the same upgraded version of the series X

#

?

#

Question guys can you the new COD cold war play at 4K 60fps on xbox one X or just the serious X?

#

@smoky bone Possibly but it may not stay consistent at 60fps

smoky bone
#

still be ok I guess

So I own the base borderands 3 game, is there a easy way to upgrade to the 'ultimate' edition from the base game?

You need to purchase the ultimate edition. You cant upgrade for base game

#

@raven nacelle the disc will have 'Smart Delivery' or 'Optimized for Series X' on it

mellow fog
#

what modes does cold war have on series s on 1080p?

radiant swift
#

@mellow fog what do u mean? gamemodes?

mellow fog
#

like what can it output? is it gonna be 30 fps with raytracing, 60 without?

radiant swift
#

no raytracing, locked 60 fps

#

i looked through the menus on mine yesterday

mellow fog
#

ah

#

i would guess series x would have raytracing

radiant swift
#

it does

raven nacelle
#

Series S and X both utilize ray-tracing according to Activision

#

and from what I've seen

radiant swift
#

No options for it @raven nacelle

raven nacelle
#

it should be the default

#

both S and X use RT for Cold War

raven nacelle

Hello guys , I am looking to buy AC Valhalla CD for my series X , But I am failing to find it , so should I go for the Xbox one version and I will get excatly the same upgraded version of the series X
@raven nacelle

AC Valhalla has smart delivery
Put the disk in xbox one, installs xbox one version.
Put disk in xbox series x.
Downloads series x version.

There is only one copy out there for both.
Box says "xbox one/ series x"

Yeah the physical disc cases will say on it, in the top right. where it gives info about 4K and HDR next to that on the box will have a logo if its Smart Delivery or not

uneven kite
#

is the story worth it again?

#

for cod cold war?

#

been 10 yrs since i played world at war

cedar jasper
#

@uneven kite I'm installing it now I don't play cod games that much I'll let you know

uneven kite
#

cool, thanks.

cedar jasper
#

@uneven kite the story devepment is great the only bad thing is there is little character development because most characters are prob from other god gamed I'm not done with the story but it's great do far not very challenging tho I managed to beat a mission with only a combat knife on realism

uneven kite
#

Nice. So the story is good for once. That's good. Are the characters new?

uneven kite
#

That was my beef with the last 10 titles since they cancelled the cod Vietnam war title, lol.

sudden igloo
#

the story is a direct sequel to black ops.

#

only done the 1st mission, jumped into MP after that. will play more later

uneven kite
#

Would I need to play black ops in order to play this if i were to get back into cod?

raven nacelle
#

@uneven kite it takes place between 1 and 2, but I don’t think that it’s required

uneven kite
#

awesome. that mine main concern when titles are like that when playing the titles usually there is a requirement. awesome.

#

is the spacesize of the game friendly on the amount of space you have? i know its suppose to be 200 gigs i think?

raven nacelle
#

That’d be an estimate on overall life. Initially I think it’s between 90-105 on last-gen systems.

#

136gb on the new ones

uneven kite
#

not too bad. so this gen looks like i be limiting myself to few games that i play for yrs. cold war maybe one of those games. does it have replay value on the campaign an zombies mode at least?like wolfenstein the new order does?

raven nacelle
#

I’m not too far into the campaign. It’s a bit different but that’s all I’ll say as to not spoil

#

Zombies is zombies and they have Warzone attached to it just like MW2019

uneven kite
#

nice. thats all i need to know. cool. not many cod titles have replay value. had to make sure.

rapid patio
#

wait isnt black ops 2 the sequel to black ops 1

raven nacelle
#

Yes. but takes place well into the future (2025)

rapid patio
#

so black ops 2 is 2025

raven nacelle
#

yes, and Cold War is the early 80s

rapid patio
#

didnt look like it lol

raven nacelle
#

and Black Ops 3 is....21xx

#

can't remember the exact

rapid patio
#

i mean lets see what 2025 looks like

raven nacelle
#

It was pretty close tbh

rapid patio
#

since we are only 4 years away

#

lol

raven nacelle
#

Advance Warfare was the one that was out there

rapid patio
#

i didnt really like advanced warfare its basically bo3

#

but eh i guess its preferance

raven nacelle
#

BO3 used it as a base, AW released first

rapid patio
#

yeah so they prob made some adjustments

#

which made bo3 better, makes sense

#

i loved bo1 bc of its guns and cold war is looking that way too

#

but the new games are focusing more on gun upgrades which kinda ruins the black ops genre in my opinion

stray nacelle
elder schooner
#

question for the xbox folks here,
Do you prefer COD or Halo?

#

(It must be your opinion of the series as a whole, not just the new titles or some specific titles.)

raven nacelle
#

That's an extremely difficult question to answer, as I like both for entirely different reasons.

If I had to make a statement, objectively, I would almost be forced to say Halo is better. It has a rock-solid foundation, simple yet complex gameplay, an enticing story, good mechanics... I could sing praises all day about Halo. CoD, on the other hand, doesn't have many praises to sing, even after having played the majority of games in the franchise. The stories are lacking, the gameplay is simple yet contrary to Halo, not at all complex.

It would honestly take me way too long (and the character limit would be hit multiple times) to do a deep dive on pitting these two franchises together. On the whole, it all boils down to what style of game you enjoy more. I personally enjoy CoD a lot more (in terms of multi-player) than Halo because of the simplicity, the (generally) modern-era combat, among other things, but Halo has the better stories.

First-party games are things like Halo, Gears, and Fable. Things made by Microsoft or made by teams owned by Microsoft. Third-party is everything else.
