Feb 7, 2024 so the latest rumor...Microsoft is gonna discontinue the Xbox as a console brand go third party with their IPs in software form, in the same way that Sega did with the Dreamcast
Feb 7, 2024 All I care about is Gears tbh, and it hasn't been the same since Gears 3. Gamepass is nice though.
Feb 7, 2024 The way everyone I know has moved on from XBox is kinda funny. like it’s actually insane how little anyone cares for that console at all now. 360 Days were amazing tho. Guess all things die
Feb 7, 2024 If they’d announce a new gears and had creators from 2 and 1, I’d buy the Xbox before the game came out. Gears 2 was my all time multiplayer favorite with friends. The insane wall bouncing skill n how competitive it was. They shouldn’t have let gears die out. That and remake halo 2 and 3 release them for the time being until they put another good halo out. This is the only way Microsoft could save Xbox, but those games probably won’t be the same.
Feb 10, 2024 The 360 was definitely a game changer no pun intended for Microsoft, but even then it wasn't actually the market leader and had large issues of its own that generation.
Feb 11, 2024 This is bad news though. There needs to be competition. If PlayStation is the only viable high end console option then God knows what they'll charge for it. I'm happy Playstation won the war but if Microsoft call it quits then someone else needs to throw their hat in the ring.
Feb 11, 2024 We will see when they announce the next Switch. I understand that they make consoles for kids and they can’t charge like 600 bucks.
Feb 11, 2024 If the switch 2 games aren’t compatible with the Oled switch I’ll be furious. The info so far the screen is smaller n looks worse than the Oled. The technology won’t even be ps4 level. They’re depending on a AI to clean up graphics in a game. Id bet they have Odyssey 2 saved to release with it to sell, but they won’t have a new Zelda to save them in a while. Remakes are getting stale. And charging 400 for another handheld that can’t run games like re4 remake, ff7 remake, god of war, even spider man. They should be releasing a new powerhouse console at least close to ps5 to where they can run newer unreal engine games. Especially with Microsoft quitting, they but the halo rights give it to the Zelda creators n they could release a classic. There’s other handhelds getting more popular with better software, Nintendo will lose out when one becomes more affordable that computer companies are making. Some are impressive.
Feb 17, 2024 we may not find out for some time. Switch 2 got delayed to next year. that's the newest rumor.
Feb 17, 2024 It's a console for kids, they don't need amazing graphics, but at least release something that looks good, some of their games look like the new Tomb Raider remaster lol That's one of the reasons I don't own one. I haven't played Pokemon since Game Boy Color, nah mean, that s---'s giving me blue pokeballs
