I see, still though PS5 has been out for years suprised it took this long. Does the Series X have a native version or is that still running the Xbox One version?

Wait this wasn’t already a thing? Was it Microsoft just delaying the PS5 version or Sony with their weird anti cross platform behaviour holding it back.

I thought the point of Bedrock edition was to have it accessible on basically anything that can run the game

I only recently started watching love live but I’m 99.9% sure that it is not what you’re thinking of

It’s crazy to think that Xbox has owned Halo since basically the beginning and have given them one demo each year at their big summer showcase, if they have something to show. They own Call of Duty for less than a year and it’s already getting a show for itself.

It’s no wonder 343 is failing when Microsoft themselves clearly don’t care enough about it

To be honest, as a huge Halo fan, I was surprised when seeing those studios closed that 343 wasn’t one of them. The studio is just cursed, even a leadership change isn’t going to save them.

Either make Halo games from all the studios under Microsoft or start a new one with people who are actual fans of the franchise

Seems kind of strange to announce this way I wonder if they’re expecting a big leak to come out so they’re getting ahead of it? Otherwise, why not just mention at the end of that June direct that you’ll talk more about this in the coming months

Revenge of the Fifth

I’ve wanted to see Barriss become an inquisitor for a long time and I’m glad she acted like she did since she technically wasn’t fully wrong for her actions in the clone wars, she just went about it in the worst way.

Episode 2 really showed how she was a good Jedi, but for what the Jedi were supposed to be, not soldiers which is why she did what she did.

I do wish we got something more with Vader given that she was the one who basically triggered Ahsoka into leaving the order in the first place which surely helped with his fall to the dark side.

Also I really hope she died at the end, we’ve had too many people surviving lightsaber wounds in recent years, bacta can’t heal everything.

Episodes were fine I suppose, but I feel as though there could have been a better character to focus on instead of Morgan.

Thrawn is meant to be the next big villain for the Star Wars universe post after the Ahsoka series and he wasn’t exactly great in that so why not give us 3 episodes showing why he should be a threat

Overall I think it was a very good series. Season 1 was decent, season 2 got really good in the back half and season 3 was very good throughout.

After season 2 did explore more of the “clones after the war” plotline I was hoping for a resolution this season but it is “The Bad Batch” not season 8 of clone wars. I do hope they finish that story though, seems like a single season special could do it but not sure they’d want to do that.

I do like that the brainwashed clones were just regular clones, not like resurrected Tech or someone else we knew. Not everybody needs to be a known character.

Was quite surprised to see the whole batch survive, definitely thought Crosshair would’ve done some self sacrifice to save Omega but a happy ending for once is nice.

Glad Rampart went out like that, we didn’t need another redemption arc for an Imperial. And Hemlok got what he deserved.

Overall I think it wrapped up the series nicely, there are a few unanswered questions but hopefully they will be addressed in other upcoming media.

Full backward compatibility is definitely great to see, if it didn’t have it I probably wouldn’t pick it up for a few years

I’ve always thought that Barriss would become an inquisitor, so glad to see that finally happen.

Loved Tales of the Jedi so hoping this continues to be a thing, just a short mini series fleshing out some characters using the beautiful Clone Wars art style.

Hopefully we will have another animated series using the art style soon after Bad Batch ends, but one of these every year would also be great

Granted I haven’t read the article so might just be making stuff up, but if it’s more for “Oh you own this game on the Epic store on PC, well you don’t have to buy it on the Xbox store” then that’s a reason to have them on there. That’s how a lot of Xbox games work, since I bought them on Xbox I still have access to them on PC through the Xbox app so it’d be expanding that to other stores

I would say Outer Wilds is very good. You have the ability to beat the game as soon as you start, but you don’t have the knowledge to beat it.

Without spoiling it as it’s a very spoiler sensitive game, you can spend as long as you want gathering all of the knowledge to beat the game, you aren’t punished for taking your time. And all the knowledge you collect is stored in the games computer as long as you save so you can play for 22 minutes if you want, or multiple hours.

I beat the game over the course of a few weeks playing for various amounts of time. Recently played the DLC too and that went the same.

Really hope the next 3D Mario is a launch title, very much looking forward to what comes after Odyssey. Bowsers Fury was good, but didn’t have the replayability of the other 3D titles

Good to know 3 years now equals 1 year. This is just the end of early access

I’m confused as to why every article about this is calling it Subnautica 2, like I know Below Zero wasn’t as good as the original but this will be the 3rd game in the series.

Anyway, glad co-op will be a thing, tried the multiplayer mod just before the 2.0 release and whilst buggy it was really fun, looking forward to them releasing the new version which looking at their GitHub, seems to be getting closer

I’ve downloaded it on PC just because it’s on game pass but when I saw some of the issues and how they were fixed on Steam but not the Xbox app, I’ve not played. Waiting to see if my friends will get the game and if so I’ll just buy on Steam as it’s a much better experience

In fairness, their first trailers for the past 2 GTA games haven’t been gameplay, so I assume they’re just keeping with that pattern. And also those trailers did look similar to the final game, not exact but I don’t think it’s much of a stretch to expect GTA VI to look this good on max settings.

Framerate on the other hand, maybe to look this good it’ll have to be 30 which won’t be nice

Lmao they literally posted on Twitter “Our trailer has leaked so please watch the real thing on YouTube”

Sucks it was leaked just hours before the planned release but at least they handled it well.

Really hope this game will be good, not going in with high expectations as too many games have released in poor states recently but given how long this has been in development more, maybe it won’t be a rushed mess and they’ve still got all of 2024 + some amount of 2025 to continue work.
