define 'old'

tetris effect is lit and new and notable

its tetris though so it predates basically every game.

Both systems are brand new and COVID has causes some serious issues that hampered launch software more than is typical for new systems.

Been playing “The Long Dark,” it’s great. Gamepass machine has no notable exclusives but I’m still using it a lot despite having a ps5 and good PC, pretty much purely because of gamepass and couch convenience.

Series X is basically my machine for playing exclusives and og Xbox and 360 era games that never got ported/remastered/remade to PS4. Microsoft spent all last gen buying up studios so I'm certain it'll get actual good exclusives in time. Otherwise I'm gonna spend most of my modern console game time on PS5 at this point.

Yeah I skipped last generation and want to try the Series S as a non-4k streaming media box + Game Pass machine. Sorta old games are fine with me!

Does Yakuza 7 count? Only the Series has a next gen version as for whatever reason the PS5 one is super delayed.

Otherwise I think the only true next gen exclusives on both systems right now are a demo game and a remake of a PS3 title.

well there are two really buggy ubisoft games in both xbox and ps5 but yeah, for the moment the new xbox is just a super xbox x and the ps5 is a super ps4 pro.

which isn't bad as the later was quite low specs/

The new Series S/X controller is on sale for $40 if anyone needs one. That's a pretty steep discount for a recently released controller (normally $60)

Yeah I'm just playing through all the Game Pass backlog I was playing through on the One X only everything runs a helluva lot smoother. It's more like a big PC upgrade than a new console. ;)

Hope we see more games getting Series X enhanced patches though.

I was too impatient to wait for my Series X to arrive so I went ahead and bought dev mode and set up Retroarch on my One S. I wasn't expecting much but some less demanding PS2 games run at full speed. Jaguar emulation was very poor, unfortunately. Switching between dev mode and retail mode really isn't that bad even on a One S. Can't wait to try this all out on more capable hardware.

If they can get King's Field IV running at full speed (lol it's a very slow game) on a Series S I can finally retire my PS2 slim.

I've got too much of a backlog to get into emulating, but i'm a little worried the apps going to get taken down with the amount of attention its getting at the moment - so i might get the app now.

You say this when Xbox's main competitor just released their brand new console with a remake of an 11 year old game as their flagship title. Nintendo is going nuts with bringing old games to Switch, Sony was going crazy with remakes/remasters until the huge success of Xbox BC pushed their hand into bringing back BC for their new console (which had everyone hyped about possible improvements to an old game called Bloodborne) and meanwhile other major publishers are re-releasing old games frequently as well.

If there is one defining trait of this industry, it's that people love to play old games. It's also one of the main reasons people praise PC gaming so much as well. People like to pretend they don't care about old games but then Final Fantasy VII Remake gets announced or whatever and suddenly they're going wild for it. I just bought the Tony Hawks 1&2 Remakes and I'm hyped as hell to play them, same with the remaster of 2010's Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit. Good games are good games forever. Hell, GTA5 has now been going for three whole console generations and shows no sign of stopping - Rockstar recently announced some new DLC with a heist on an island and it looks fun.

What makes this tragic is the insane prices that scalpers are charging as they flood eBay with these consoles. Imagine spending double retail price and then playing the same-old janky Ubisoft game. I'll wait for PS5 to at least have that amazing-looking Ratchet & Clank game and XSX to get Forza Motorsport (I really hope the track list doesn't suck).

Correct. Neither console has a flagship release.

The backward compatability features and game pass is why I bought an X instead of a PS5 and I haven't owned an Xbox since the OG. It's worked out well too with the lack of AAA games, thanks to covid.
