I believe that was from an older document that came out during the Activision stuff. Probably ditched to keep costs "lower."

2Tb Series X or a 1Tb white all digital Series X hmm... let's see the prices

450 and 600, its on the xbox.com site. The current X is discounted 50 bucks there so that + the 1TB expansion comes out to the same price less the open expansion slot of course.

The 1TB Series X is $450 + the 1TB Expansion Card is $150, so it would be cheaper to just get that one instead wouldn't it?

That slide deck was from 2022 and Phil himself said “plans had changed” when they leaked. I’m guessing since Xbox sales have fallen off a cliff since 2022 they scrapped the plans for an actual redesign and just stuck with new colors and storage tiers. I doubt we’ll see the leaked ‘Sebile’ controller now either.

Max Payne 3 for me was Payneful. I got hardly any achievements and it felt like a slog back when it was released. I bought it a few months ago so I'll give it another go some time. Has there been any further word on the remake of 1 and 2?
As of their latest Business Review of the first three months of the year since Remedy mostly talks directly to investors instead of doing PR stuff...

It's so damn...literal.
I knew the $15 fc24 sale was a last ditch effort at sales before dumping on gamepass, glad I resisted

Figured there would be a bit more lead time between Sandrock hitting gamepass though and kinda wish I would have held onto my $30 with that one. I like it, but it's just more My Time At Portia

E: actually it might be more annoying because resources like rubber and electronic components are random drops from piles of scrap so you're at the whim of rng to progress

We're within a few months of the 2025 sports games coming out as well, Fifa 24 was already on Playstation Plus last month and I saw NHL 24 was on a heavy discount recently too.

At this point I'm just waiting on another sale on the current 1TB model (including possibly a refurb) and will get a 2nd one of that for my living room, the new holiday SKUs are too expensive especially for what they'll undoubtedly cost in Canadian dollars.

I already have a 2tb expansion card that I transfer between my current Series X and Series S, and can just use that for the 2nd Series X.

Ya it's weird as heck they're skipping this console gen with the collection but at least it keeps the dream for MvC4 alive :unsmith:

Looks like licensing isn't an issue any more so maybe Capcom can do us a solid and make a good new MvC game and maybe DMC6 if they're feeling particularly fruity??

There's a rumor that Capcom's MT Framework pipeline might no longer work for compiling Xbox code due to new mandatory GDK versions, which would also explain why those games tend to not have actual PS5 versions, only PS4 versions (that will run on a PS5), and Capcom likely expects those titles wouldn't sell enough on Xbox to justify the costs of the work that would be required to bring their MT Framework pipeline into current Xbox compatibility.

That would be nonsense because there's literally no reason why you wouldn't want to use the GDK. It was also one of the easiest moves we did for the next gen consoles (we had to do it during production of Quake 1).

Xbox not getting Marvel Fighting Collection is wild to the point that I wonder if that was part of the deal of Sony letting it happen from a licensing standpoint.

I'm trying to DL cricket 22 (yeah yeah yeah im sure it sucks but I'm watching a bit of the world cup and wanted to check it out) and it just.... stops dling at 18gbs. It's on gamepass but it just stops there. I've tried twice now and dled some small games in between to make sure its not my console and had no problem with any other game. Can someone figure this out/ attempt to dl it also?

I see I'm not the only one bummed out that the Marvel vs Capcom collection isn't coming to Xbox. We're getting ports of Fantasian, Ace Attorney Investigations, the Dragon Quest HD games, MIO, and that Looney Toons sports game though. And that Metal Slug tower defense game is already out for $10.

'Twas a solid Direct this morning. New Zelda looks cool and it's nice to see Metroid Prime 4 still alive and kicking. Oh, and the N64 Perfect Dark with online multiplayer was a plus.
