The series 2 elite controller is at the lowest price I've ever seen it today. Wonder if that means a series 3 is around the corner?

Can't see it, the Halo Elite 2 comes out next week, and it doesn't have any changes aside from the color scheme. Maybe Phil will bless us with a Elite 3 with a share button.

Microsoft needs to admit they hosed up and release a new Series controller with gyro. And then devs need to start supporting it. Haptic triggers and enhanced rumble can gently caress off, but gyro is missed more often than not.

Sony have had gyro in their controllers since 2006 and they couldn’t get any devs to use it

Oh right, then probably not. Which is a shame, the rubber came off one side of Elite Series I. I really want a new one, but I need the button that lets me take an accidental screenshot every time things get frantic.

Input latency can only be compared by knowing the exact TV models and mode they'll be using it on, neither plasma nor OLED have any inherent advantage there, it can go either way.

I don't see the rush to upgrade now unless they're really bothered by a specific shortcoming, or expect the overall quality of future TVs to decline instead of improve, or prices to go up.
In addition to the probably better motion resolution, another advantage of keeping their current display is that it probably doesn't have any smart TV bullshit, though I suppose the LG OLEDs are pretty great in that respect when compared to other current TVs.

Should have just bought an Xbox 360 then lol

Edit- I should mention I went from a Panasonic plasma to OLED like 4 years ago and it was absolutely a massive upgrade. Worst part is paying extra for Netflix 4k, but that’s like buying a Porsche 911 turbo and then not driving it because premium fuel is too expensive.

I know I said I'd stop pre-ordering games after I got burned the last few times but I pre-ordered this lol

San Andreas is on Game Pass, and it's my favorite of the 3, but I really love III and Vice City and wanted to replay those too. I can't wait to sink a ton of time into this collection. The tracklists came out today too and most of my favorite tracks are intact, which is a huge plus.

Got all 3 preloaded and can't wait for tomorrow!

So here’s a random question re game share. One of my friends I play with had game share set up with a another friend of ours who passed away this last year (his ghost is out here kicking our asses in FH5 at least). Her wife is going to be getting an Xbox and they were wanting to do game share, but not looking to sever that connection to Kevin. Any ideas on if they have to sever or can they just do the game share on the new Xbox (whatever model that is going to be)?

Correct me if anyone knows more please but: You can only share games (this isn’t what it’s meant for, sharing games is a byproduct of the ‘home console’ system) between two consoles at any one time, but this won’t affect drivitars appearing in forza. Drivitars are based on your friends list. I think as long as your friends handle is still paid for on Xbox live their drivitars remains. I’m not sure if their drivitar will carry over to 5 if they never played it though?

There’s no severing of connection, but you can only share between two xbox’s.

I've seen drivatars show up from people I know haven't played the game, but for instance now that I joined the goon racing group I never see them anymore, just mostly GRCC folks and the occasional random person who has a level indicative of them having actually played.

Beyond that I'm not sure how it determines who to pull from your friends list, I'm sure it has to be related to playing at least an Xbox one era Forza title if nothing else. I've never see my late stepdad's drivatar show up, for example, but I think the last Forza game he played was Motorsport 3 or 4 on the 360. By the time the very first Horizon game came out he was already pretty badly deteriorated from cancer.

gently caress, now I feel like I need to pull out my copy of Forza Motorsport 2 and see if I can still race against his times. :smith:

So unless it hasn't come out yet, there doesn't appear to be anything on Series that wasn't already available with the One X Enhancement + FPS Boost. It doesn't even show as a native Series App so it looks like they just unlocked the FPS and called it a day. I THINK on PS5 you could already hit 4K 60fps with a mod so the next gen upgrades appear to be... nothing.

E: it’s now showing as a series app after a restart.
