I remember there were rumors and then Apex Legends came out and was set in the Titanfall universe and the TF3 rumors stopped, so I guess people who heard about Apex early and spread the rumors thought it was the next Titanfall game. If they do make a new one however I hope it's more like TF1 than TF2. The first game felt like the Burnout of FPS games and TF2 felt more like Gran Turismo in comparison. They added some really cool stuff (e.g. grappling hook) but it lacked the arcade-y pick-up-and-play fun of the first game, in my opinion. So many bad maps, too :(

The devs actually talked about future Titanfall projects (though maybe not fps) as being in development after Apex launched, but with the recent EA shuffle, it may be pushed back or maybe even prioritized.

And Titanfall 1 is an unashamed remake of brink

I remember the general reviews saying it’s just very mediocre and once again the story is bland

The combat is fun but encounters don't tend to last long and there's very little in the way of content in between them. It's no surprise they're releasing it on GamePass so soon since there's been a few expansions released very recently (one just some days ago, even) provided you're willing to pay extra for them. I expect this to become the norm with most of these big publisher games as everyone gets their own subscription service next gen.

As black Friday approaches and folks look to make system purchases for gamepass, it's important to look at the current state of the S.

Both base consoles are showing their age, but the S is really struggling. There's another year before next gen, and unless you just don't care about performance at all, I don't know if the S is worth it.

Worth it for GamePass, 4KBR and back compat IMO. I got an S for significantly less than half the price of the X

Yeah at this point in the game, if you're looking for performance it doesn't matter which one you get. You'd be better off waiting a year.

Honestly an S seems like a better buy this year if you absolutely must buy something and can find one for ~$150. It handles indies and back compat fine, games that came out pre-X fine, and spending the money for an X the year before Scarlett comes out just seems dumb as gently caress.

Really, though, just wait.

I'm all in on PS5 next generation anyway so getting a cheap 4K player along with something to play some of the classic 360/OG titles suited me fine. None of the XBOX One exclusive games this gen have seemed remotely interesting. Like MCC is fun for co-op but they're just old games with a new lick of paint.

I would never suggest getting the X for full price, but it's not hard to find it for almost half off in places, and if someone is sensitive to performance issues, there's no reason not to get an X. It won't be affected by the jump the way the S will be, allowing you to hold off on making a purchase right at the next gen launch.

I think we can all (or most of us anyway) agree that maybe don't buy the new Xbox Scarlett for a year or two.

Halo infinite will be on xbox one anyway. Other than a new possible forza, I can't see much that would be truly exciting to want to get a Scarlett. And I bet you can play Scarlett games on xbox one via xcloud.

Only time will tell with the new studios if they make anything new and good but they keep making stuff that doesn't interest me.

Performance on the S is laughable, please don't buy it unless you like going back to the PS1 era in any game made recently. I know console players have low standards with that stuff but it not worth your eyesight.

Same here. My wife uses Kinect voice commands and OneGuide daily so if it dies I basically have to replace it.

Oh man, has ODST been free through Game Pass this whole time? I knew MCC was, but I just assumed ODST was a paid DLC no matter what. Pretty cool that Reach will be included too!

poo poo like phones, Kinect and VR that require radically different inputs need games that specifically tailor themselves to those inputs and the experience of using them. Phones are just about there, Kinect had a few games that were starting to get it (hello HappyTV/Kinect Party), vr just seems soaked with games that want to port in a kbm/controller experience and pretend that all it is is a new TV.

Just got into the xcloud preview and I'm amazed at how well it works. Really quite responsive for what it is.

Also found out that it will happily accept my generic Bluetooth gamepad instead of needing my Xbox controller.

I'll definitely give xCloud a go once the preview expands to Canada.
PSNow is the nearest equivalent and similarly works astonishingly well if your connection allows for it. Here's a test video I made yesterday.
