Very fair, but Hitman or Tekken 8? Friends are bugging me about Tekken because it's cross-play now.

Hitman 3. Will last you a long longer after everyone but the hardcore bail on t8.

Someone pointed me towards this recently, it's by some of the devs of Burnout.

its garbage.

Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit Remastered is a direct 1:1 copy of the original game with 4k60 on new consoles and is the last racing game made by most of the original Burnout team.

EVERYTHING about this game is Burnout 3 but bigger. the tracks, the menu, the boost/drift mechanics. No Open World rubbish, just huge point to point or circuit races with huge sweeping turns. added bonus of licensed cars and incredibly good engine sounds.

This is the game you want to scratch the Burnout itch.

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.

is that a setting in the os somewhere? Or just a passive thing the headset does? I don’t think I’ve noticed it before.

You can tweak all those settings in the accessories app, and selecting the headset. You can adjust levels in there for a few different elements. I had complaints that people could hear me clicking my controller, and it was annoying them so I reduced the mic activation Sensitivity (can’t remember the exact name) and that solved the issue.

I played and enjoyed NFS Hot Pursuit on PC and Xbox360 and then got the remastered on PC/PS4/Xbox. It doesn't scratch the same itch as Burnout and Paradise had an awesome open world you could race others, beat their times and do crazy jumps from buildings to collect poo poo between races. It doesn't help that Paradise may be my favourite racing game of all time even if it's only to roam around chasing cars to add to my collection.

There's a rumor that Stellar Entertainment are working on a Burnout game, with speculation that it's either a remake of Burnout 3 or something new. It is the 20th anniversary of the game this year and they Tweeted about "take downs" and being rear ended so if it's real I'm guessing (and praying) that we get a fancy remake of Burnout 3. Apparently there's old Criterion talent at the studio too.

A leak revealed the PlayStation showcase thingy later is going to reveal a new Sonic game which is either a remaster of Generations or a sequel as well. It's got Shadow attached which has people thinking it may be an expanded remaster perhaps? Sonic x Shadow Generations is the title.

Yes, 3% increase in Xbox hardware revenue means people are not buying a lot of Xboxen. But they are playing Xbox games on other devices.

I mean a 3% increase over last quarter is still an increase. People are buying more Xboxen than last quarter. You don't buy an Xbox per game so of course content percentages are going to be way higher.

One day I’m going to write a dissertation about the parallels of the THPS and Burnout franchises.

1: Extremely bare bones but the framework is there for greatness.
2: Perfect refinement of the previous entry, an absolute master class of the genre.
3. Introduces a game changing new mechanic that completely alters how the game is played, making the game a lot more fun but also removing some of the purity of the previous entry.
4. Basically just a new version of 3 but not nearly as fun and it’s impossible to explain why. The magic was lost somehow.
5. Open world, filled with modern gaming tropes, a shell of what it once started as.

I didn't say that I don't like previous Burnout games. In fact I do own both Burnout Legends and Dominator on PSP, Revenge on 360 and Burnout 3 on PS2 but Paradise is easier to come back and it's on PC, Xbox and PS4/5. But hey, you're one of those people that act elitist about a dead franchise. Never mind.

New PDP Riffmaster guitar finally revealed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g7-CdvRhCUk

I bought a PDP controller the other day (my kids broke my Xbox controller and needed a temp replacement) and was just stunned at how cheap and lovely it was. Maybe they make higher end stuff? But I returned the controller because it was too crappy for even a quick replacement controller.

If I bought the Game of the Year version of Hitman previously, do I need to buy World of Assassination to have everything? Or would it be cheaper to buy the missing parts I don't have if that is an option?

The Deluxe Edition of WoA is $44.99 until tomorrow and I'm hesitant to buy it if I already own part of it.
