I never had wireless Internet, a wireless xbox or an ethernet cable in the right room back then. I used to set the date manually! What a disaster. And those lights on the power brick that stop you from sleeping. Crazy.

Those of us who are older need to reconsider whether we care or not. I'm 35 and I realise that GTA is primarily about mass appeal. It wants to be the Forza Horizon, Flight Sim and Call Of Duty all in one. Teenagers are obsessed with it, along with Red Dead Redemption 2 and Assassin's Creed. I don't care much for open world games and I stay away from over-hyped games. The other day I was writing to a 16 year old on Xbox and I told him to check out Enter The Gungeon and Neon Abyss. One by one we shall reclaim these kids away from AAA disappointment 😁

There are plenty of games that look great and run smoothly on game consoles. Xbox Series X does well for a system with only 2gb of system ram and 12gb gpu ram. Why bother with pc at this point. Sadly console prices are going to stay the same or go up but it's not PC level increases.

It'll release on Xbox Series S though with only 2gb of system ram and 8gb (i think) of gpu ram. On Series X it's not much better but it'll run at 30 fps.

Halo Infinite and DOOM Eternal run at 60 fps on console so I think that minimum spec is just speculation.

 

I got this from the old Megadeth forum about 10 years ago.

After New Years it became relevant again. No idea who made this one but it isn't new. The idea holds true though 😁

 

I'd like to hear from someone who's played Phantom Fury on Xbox. Are there annoying bugs or crashes?

I notice they just updated Ion Fury but it seems that it doesn't remember my controller settings so it drives me mad. I don't have any faith in the companies behind this. They took 4 years to release The Aftershock DLC on console and that's just not good enough. We also never got the final patch for Ion Fury, the one that let's you charge up the crossbow and then release it again without wasting the ammo. You can put it away without firing it. Maybe the last patch added that I'm not sure.

There was another bug where enemies never made the noise they make when they spot you. That was fixed on PC 4 years ago but I'm unsure if it's been added to console.
