I never buy anything by Ubi Soft or EA on PC.

 

But there's more than enough games by other companies to have plenty of fun on PC. In fact i've not played a game by EA or Ubi Soft in the last 4 years (last one was Dragon Age) and i don't miss then at all.

They make great games, if Ubi could get things right they'd be awesome...now I know how to work around it at least.

Looks like everyone is looking for that AAA killer launch title. Instead, there are a lot of good games.

Halo for the OG Xbox was the last killer AAA game available at launch. It's been 10+ years since.

Good launch titles nonetheless.

So the 2 biggest multi-platform games there is aren't system sellers?

I would think by system seller he means Xbox exclusive system seller. A multi-platform game isn't going to specifically sell one system or another.

I refer to all my friends who aren't buying the equivalent games on the 360 and waiting for the X1 editions.

Would someone please buy the rights to Shenmue from Sega already.

Remake the series, in stunning Next Gen quality, while bundling in the original version (part 1&2)...

And get part 3 made already.

Or Sega, if you wants $$$ just do it yourselves... And people will throw $$$ wherever you are I the world.

As much as i want this (best game ever made imo). It won't happen. While Shenmue does have a cult fanbase, it just doesn't seem popular enough to risk an investment.

As the only way to do the third and final part justice would be to better the older games. You won't be able to get away with a digital only title. It would need a AAA budget.

 

I agree they should release a HD pack of the games and see how it sells. This would be a good indication of how much interest is in the series.

Shenmue while groundbreaking for it's time, really would not work now with a massive revamp.  Go back and play it.  The game play is just outright clunky and awful.

 

That being said, I have no idea what Shenmue has to do with the Xbox One launch games.

 

 

Based on the list of launch games for both consoles, MS has a more well rounded list but both aren't great.  Although these game lists are WAY better than the 360/PS3 launches.  Those were terrible.

I remember the first game I got for my 360 was Halo 2 (an Xbox title) and I waited till Gears Of War was released before I actually bought a 360 title.

 

I'm a massive Forza fan so that is pretty much the selling "exclusive" title, other than that its pretty much cross platform games i'm looking forward to. It always amazes me that MS and Sony don't work closer with their first party IP's and get big games like Halo or Uncharted released on launch also.

 

I like to think the majority no matter who their current allegiance may be look at games first when it comes to new titles and coming in with the big guns could possible sway a few people rather than the lists they are both pumping out at the moment.

They save the big games till later because the first six months are early adopters who will get the platforms anyway. Big games down the line maintain momentum. I'm personally fine with the launch lineup for both, honestly I think its the best of any console generation.

I have to agree.  I can't remember the last console release where I actually wanted more than a couple games day one.  That's why I usually don't get these things at launch, but this time around is different.

 

I remember getting a ps2 early and 'The Bouncer' was the only decent game out at the moment.

Precisely. PS2 lined up outside Best Buy all night, only to get Tekken Tag...and Ridge Racer. This time I got three times that preordered per console. Pretty good for day one.

Riiiidge Racerrrrrrrrr......

 

ahem, nevermind *grin*

 

I most want Titanfall, Dying Light and Mirror's Edge 2 but the launch stuff is pretty decent :)

    • DWARF mini review: the world's smallest smart telescope for night and day sky captures

      By Malisk · Posted

      I think it depends on what you're looking for to do, and the time you have to spare. With my Dwarf 3, I easily spend 3-4 hour sessions; half an hour driving to an un-light polluted place, another half hour unpacking and setting up the smart scope + tripod for equatorial tracking, then 15 more minutes mucking around with settings and shooting calibration frames, spending a few hours shooting, merging with past photo sessions, etc. It's crazy how time flies and I often get home later than I expected. It's something I still need to set aside a good part of an evening to do, all in all. For one session, where you often need like four for best results when it comes to deep space objects. Even with a smart scope like Dwarf 3, regular non-astro photography is still way more approachable to people getting into photography. I find this is a time consuming niche no matter how I go about it. With practice, I can probably begin cutting time here but I think where smart scopes find their home is among people who love to shoot the night sky but don't have the spare time to go deep with the "navigator level" attunement to the night sky itself in addition to everything else. Having said this, _if_ you have even more time to spend on this hobby, it will probably be even more rewarding to do it more by hand and learn the skies and the details of how it all works.
    • Microsoft confirms a new, useful Teams' app is coming very soon

      I misread the title and thought Teams itself would be redesigned. Imagine having this one as a native WinUI app.
    • Dell, HP PCs ran into endless reboot, BitLocker recovery loops but Windows 11 isn't to blame

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Dell, HP PCs ran into endless reboot, BitLocker recovery loops but Windows 11 isn't to blame by Sayan Sen Last month Neowin reported on a major issue on Dell systems wherein a bug in its official support tool was leading to endless blue screen of death (BSOD) and restarts. Following our report, Dell officially acknowledged its SupportAssist-related crash issue, confirming that the culprit is not Microsoft's operating system but rather a faulty version of its own remediation software. In a newly published support advisory, Dell stated that version 5.5.16.0 of Dell SupportAssist Remediation and Alienware SupportAssist Remediation can trigger blue screen errors and unexpected system restarts. The company notes that the problematic component operates independently of the main SupportAssist application, meaning users should not remove the primary SupportAssist software when troubleshooting the issue. According to Dell, the crashes are linked specifically to the SupportAssist Remediation service, which is bundled with SupportAssist OS Recovery Tools, and as such it has since released an updated version, 5.5.16.1, which is said to resolve the problem. Affected users are advised to first verify whether version 5.5.16.0 is installed by checking the Installed Apps section in Windows Settings. If so, Dell recommends updating SupportAssist OS Recovery Tools through either SupportAssist's "Update Software" feature or Dell Command Update. Dell also advises users to back up important data before performing the update and to ensure systems remain connected to power throughout the installation process. If you are still having issues though make sure to report to the Dell support forum. As it turns out though Dell is not the only PC maker currently dealing with update-related headaches as HP is also facing a separate but probably equally frustrating issue involving recent Windows Secure Boot updates that were released with recent Windows 11 Patch Tuesdays. Similar to Dell, HP also put up its own support article where it explains the issue. The company says that affected devices could hit a brick wall when booting as they run into a BitLocker recovery loop after the April 2026 updates. The problem appears to affect systems wherein the new UEFI Secure Boot CA 2023 certificates fail to apply properly. As such affected users will find themselves entering their recovery key over and over again despite the system otherwise functioning normally. HP says such PCs should be updated to the latest available BIOS version and configured with the necessary Secure Boot certificates before installing Microsoft's Windows 11 Patch Tuesday updates. Systems that are already experiencing the problem may require BIOS configuration changes to restore normal boot behavior. Admins can find information regarding that in the support article here on HP's official website.
    • Ninja Theory's new Hellblade game is action-focused and set in Purgatory

      By Case_f · Posted

      Getting further away from the artistic study of mental disease that was the first game... (which never needed any sequels to begin with) But I get it, a company has to make money. And the second was at least visually impressive, if not in any other way.
    • Halo: Campaign Evolved is out next month with new prequel missions

      If its the devs fault you would think Unreal would help M$ take full advantage of Unreal and work with them to fix the performance issues. Otherwise they are catching unwarranted bad press.
