General Videogame Thread

Weird feeling as I'm getting my Xbox tomorrow but genuinely don't think there are any games for it that I'll bother getting. I have games pass so I guess I'll download some free shit and give that a go, but it's weirdly anti-climactic!
Said the same thing to my Mrs over the weekend. Only ordered Assassins Creed for it but I've got Game Pass so there will be a lot of Xbox games (stuck with the PS4 last gen) that I haven't had the chance to play yet.

Looking forward to it but not exactly excited.

I didn't even order AC as I generally find them far too large with far too little to do, although I hear some encouraging things about this one on that front. They are normally a 15 hour game repeated endlessly to make it 100 hours long, but hopefully this has more variety than that. Either way, figured I'd wait and see rather than spend £60.

This is where these things will fall down. My eldest was well into Minecraft then Fortnight a couple of years ago, has a PS4 and was hammering Warzone over the summer, that is starting to fade and he and his mates are going back to minecraft. All these games will play on a basic last generation console or even a basic spec gaming pc from 10 years ago.

The tech has long overtaken the real world needs of kids obsessed with games.
 
Does anyone know if a Football Manager 2021 Beta / Demo will drop as it normally does? Pre purchased this years due to lockdown and I’d like to have a go as as early as possible.

Tomorrow or Wednesday. Although to get access to the beta you have to pre order the game

Edit you seen you have pre ordered it!

Honestly, as much as anything it's that developers want money and the way of creating money is making games with huge amounts of microtransactions, not big, clever, innovative games, so the need for better hardware is limited.

You could make the greatest football game ever, with the greatest career mode of all time, but it wouldn't make as much as another lazy UT game with endless shiny cards with high numbers on them. So we will get more UT games instead.
 
Xbox arriving today! Planet Coaster, Gears Tactics and Jedi Fallen Order added to Game Pass today - can’t fucking wait, been reading about ‘Lockhart and Anaconda’ for 2 years now and the day has finally arrived!

Managed to get myself the Series X with the Xbox Game Pass ultimate which is arriving today. Have AC Valhalla being shipped to me today too.

Absolutely buzzing for it.

Yep feel the same picking my Series X up later and AC Valhalla with be posted between 9.30 and 10.30 this morning.

Very excited and I'm 45! Our kid thinks I'm going though a midlife crisis! But I've had a truly awful year for many different reasons so I've decided to treat myself.

What's your gamer tag? I'll add you
 
I haven't seen any gameplay footage of GTA V on xbox X but I saw the load speed which was ridiculously fast from starting the game to being in the map I think it was 40 seconds compared to about 1 min 40 on current gen.
 
I’ve been counting the weeks until the PS5 comes out for months. Despite the excitement, there is a sense of anti climax due to the limited games coming out. I’m getting COD, NBA, Watch dogs and Spider-Man. Cold War will be shit and no doubt I’ll just carry on playing warzone and I’m not really a fan of NBA, it just looks the best next gen release coming out this year.

Have they confirmed a date yet for cyberpunk? Or is still moving all the time? That’s one I’m looking forward to, but agreed there does seem to be an underwhelming release of games initially.

So glad I’ll be able to jump in to Sea of Thieves now for a quick go. I actually end up quitting on the loading screen of certain games sometimes, mainly GTA and SoT.

Im i Destiny 2 player so that load time is brilliant. Bungie have already confirmed a patch is coming for 4K 60FPS on both xbox and PS5 however tests on Destiny 2 on a Series X without the patch is 1440P 60FPS. Plus quick resume is supposed to be brilliant.

Cant wait. at around 7pm tonight Ill be playing AC Valhalla in 4K HDR @60fps!
