14.10.20231:54:41 Considering the massive success of Baldur's Gate 3 and the red flags surrounding the KOTOR remake, Microsoft should work with LucasArts/Disney for a SW: KOTOR 3 by Obsidian and make it an Xbox and PC only game. It'd be a fantastic next gen launch title. That or just have obsidian release a Quake styled remastered KOTOR 2 with all the cut content and more. (or both).
Edit: I'm incredibly worried for all the studios under WBGames right now with the new WBDiscovery in charge. Aside from NR with MK1, they've been making some REALLY questionable moves that got a lot of hate. The Wonder Woman game from the Shadow of Mordor/War team is all I'm looking forward to at this point.

14.10.2023Where is Jez hearing the battery is worse in the Go? It's a bigger battery, faster ram by 1K and a hardshell case. And 1TB SSD for $50 more than the Ally.

14.10.2023Horde mode was amazing in Gears 5 so was the other mode that Hive mode both of them were incredible I had lots of fun with those modes here's a complete package cuz you could play some multiplayer, then when you get bored of that you could play some horde, and then when you get bored of that you could play Hive, then you could go back to playing some multiplayer.. then go back and play some more campaign for some achievements… I just hate how they overload the achievements our way too many and it's stupid and crazy how many they list other than that the gears games are always masterpieces, that I always get many many many hours of enjoyment
Corey C
14.10.2023Yeah if you only play the campaign of Gears you're not playing at the right way I thought Jez was a gears fanboy? pretty shocked to hear he didn't play horde or Hive their horde mode is always the best.. I usually like it better than zombies… they do it better than everybody.. damn he didn't even experience the game you have to play multiplayer horde mode and all the modes for the complete experience! the campaigns are great as always but it's not the whole package… co-op with friends multiplayer horde mode with friends nd solo as well.. you need to get the full experience LOL..😂😂

14.10.202385 is a good score for Forza. But in context of the Motorsport series it’s the second lowest score ever. This one been in development 3x as long as usual too.

14.10.2023I would really love a daredevil game!!!

10.10.20231:30:12 Jez… disappointed that you would fall for Polygon clickbait, EA/Bioware didn't fire anyone. they just didn't renew the contract with Keywords Studios who is a third party doing QA for a bunch of studios.

10.10.2023GT7 is the closest racing game to FM. Both are considered sim-lite as opposed to full sim like AC and iRacing. That's why they made those comparisons. There's probably a little console war bullshit in there too but GT7 v FM is fair.

Jez got to race Phil, and it was good to play against Phil?
That's awesome Jez!
I wanna play Phil in the new Forza!

10.10.2023Once the Microsoft deal go through with ABK.
I hope Microsoft can get the creators of Prototype ( Radical Entertainment ) to make a prototype 3 and also since they're also the creators of the best Hulk game ever made….The Incredible HULK Ultimate Destruction. They should do a deal with Marvel/Disney to make The Incredible HULK Ultimate Destruction 2 using the Unreal engine 5 tech and give us co-op with the Red Hulk. That would be massive. And make it XBOX/PC exclusive.

10.10.2023I want the coalition to take there time with gears. But it is realy nice to hear something. If gears starts ramping up again in 2024 with a gears collection that will surtainly bring a lot of new and old players to gears. Especialy if all the og gears will be on pc

09.10.2023IGN has been monetizing the console wars for a while. Starfields 7 was definitely click bait. It suckered me. I was 4 clicks in before I realized I'd been had.😂

09.10.2023I’ve been enjoying Gotham knights that game is fun. I recently just beat Batman Arkham knight and I noticed the emptyness of Gotham knights compared to Arkham knight!
Dusty_King
09.10.2023Just so you and Jez are aware, you are wrong About Creative Assembly. They release a Total War game every year or every other year with multiple dlc for every one of them. They have carried Sega on their back with the amount of money they have brought in.
Matthew
09.10.2023If you have a 15 hour story, and 15 hours of unique and fun gameplay experiences, but your game is 30+ hours? That's a problem with bloat.

09.10.2023Hi dude, any insider news about falcom relationship with MS?
Ariel Lezcano
09.10.2023Hey Rand did you see the Massive downgrade FM8 has compared to the trailer showed by MS xbox in 2022?
Alex Re
09.10.2023To Jez's idea, they buy Crystal and Edios. The initiative takes one of the crystal studios and renames it as the Initiative.
Now you end up with
The Initiative- Perfect Dark and Batman Beyond trilogy.
Crystal- Tomb Raider, and Indiana Jones cross over games.
Adios- Brings back Deus ex and Finishes squares Guardians of the galaxy as a trilogy.
Just the cherry on top, get Spawn license and give it to Tango or Ninja theory.

08.10.2023When u really think about Rand and his life it’s low key sad af. He’s a near 50 yo who shoots game rant vids in his basement. His single, probably hasn’t been laid in years and is heavily obese. He’s not the man to look up to young bucks. 😂

08.10.2023Xbox and Sega will happen. They will not fund Hyena and advised Sega to put CA to work on Alien Isolation 2, Xbox exclusive. 👀

08.10.2023Now that the ABK acquisition is all but officially closed, can we stop talking about what they should purchase next and just focus on the current (massive) stable of teams at Xbox's disposal? These teams have the resources and the time, but they have to deliver. And it's on Phil and his team to make sure we don't have a repeat of Redfall or even 343, with all their issues. It's really that simple. No more excuses.

08.10.2023If you just don't pay attention to the story at all, redfall is still fun to me. It is basic though, after a few years it'll probably be a much funner experience. Personally, I'm excited to see what it becomes.
Da Geeky Nerd
08.10.2023Time is limited I prefer to spend my mine with quality over quantity. Ppl can play something like Redfall for "free" they not tho.
