If it was a mistake, how the game now coming to Series S proving that? The only thing it proves is that split screen is a demanding feature and MSFT shouldn't impose parity of that, which they shamelessly accepted after the success of BG3. It's still a good console to play modern games, of course not at best fidelity, but I don't think that matters.

Edit: just realised you're saying that with an incorrect conclusion that split screen wouldn't be coming on Series X. Well, that isn't the case, and probably brings the game to more people with least amount of harm.

I played Skyrim AE right after Horizon Forbidden West and I kept finding the simplicity and visual clarity of the game to be so damn beautiful. The game has the right amount of clutter, right amount of volumetric fogs and right amount of texture detail to be easy on eyes and believable as a consistent and functioning world.

Is that 220 number the first party games or all 360 games the aren't backwards compatible? I thought the number was in thousands.

Edit: I was wrong it is 220 only.

Idea is to show CMA that they are preserving competition.

I was actually thinking about the Delta Force 4 few days ago, wondering whatever happened of the series, but then I thought far cry and cod kinda took over and provided much more fun FPS experiences over the following years.

Definitely. They should bring Unmapped and Spirits of Tsushima next.

This is for msft employees working on game bar who can't use discord on work computer.

Here's Digital Foundry's analysis, looks rough!

And on One X and Series X, it plays at 4K with 16x Anisotropic Filtering along with auto HDR

Hate: Tapping, quick time events, looting animations, long loading screens especially when you're expected to die often, game taking control away from the player or excessive input latency, long NPC expositions for fetch quests.

Love: addictive gameplay loops that are borderline checklists but fun (Far Cry, Days Gone hordes, Ghost of Tsushima camps etc.), environmental impact like in Death Stranding/reactive NPCs like in Bethesda RPGs.

+1. As someone who's working their way up through the PS4 library, I can easily say that I'm well fed, and PS+ has actually being really great in that sense. Patient gaming always leaves you with something new and different to look forward to without having to worry about long development times of games these days.
