Cyberpunk came out on Xbox One and PS4, Spider-man Remastered is an enhanced version of a PS4 game and Miles Morales was built on it's bones. Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart isn't out yet, and Steam currently lists compatibility as "Unknown". The requirements for it aren't even out and I doubt they will be the same as Miles Morales as some sites are suggesting. That's a game that famously demanded the faster storage of the PS5. Ghostwire Tokyo and Deathloop both have considerably lower minimum requirements especially from the CPU side.
All those games run at 60fps on the Xbox Series X. Starfield is apparently not even holding a steady 30fps on the console.
I don't think it is irrational, it should be a system seller. It would be the cheapest way to natively play the game if you don't already have a PC.
An Xbox X is a lot cheaper then a gaming PC and/or getting a high end GPU. With that said, if that's the only game you'll be playing on the console, then basically the game is going to cost you 570 dollars (game + xbox x).
I have pre-ordered a Framework 16, I needed a new laptop anyway. Job done.
Game Pass? Even if you hate it/it's a mess you can probably find one or two things to enjoy in a month to make the $11 worth it.
Yeah I preordered COD Vanguard... I regreted it.
Agreed, The pressure is on MS and not Bethesda. Microsoft and its game subsidiaries have failed to produce any major hits for the Xbox X|S
I'd say that PS5 vs. Xbox X|S battle is over and Sony won (again). Microsoft is winning on the subscription side of things, but for consoles Sony is again the clear winner.
I preordered, Fallout 76 and got burned, and not learning my lesson, I preordered Cyberpunk - burned again. Now with Fallout 76, I give Bethesda a lot of credit with sticking with the game and making an excellent game but it took years.
Consoles seem to have a 6 or 7 year life cycle, and for the first 3 years Sony has been winning the war to the point that there has been no major tent pole game for the Xbox X. With only a handful of years left on this generation its clear that sony has already won
I naturally resist subscriptions, but you just made me consider using it as a method of checking it out. 🤔
The major draw of preordering was when physical media was involved, now that it’s all downloads, that pressure really no longer exists. 🤔
I did not pre-order Cyberpunk 2077, but purchased it soon after release and was not burned, pre-ordering it would have made no difference in my experience. I just had no issues with it.
