PS4 and Xbox One

The Scalebound gameplay video was so incredibly stupid it's no loss.

Yep it looked bad. Scorpio sounds great on paper - but what games will there be for it? Xbox exclusives lineup seems fairly week, and unless they have a ton of stuff in the works, I have a feeling
that people will upgrade and then wonder why... reason being that most third party developers are going to develop for both the PS and Xbox platforms at the same time, thats just how it works financially, so it seems like the only major advantage to Scorpio if it doesnt have major exclusives would be improved framerate and resolution on those cross-platform third party games - which is great of course... but why not just get a PC?

crackdown 3 is the only thing i'm looking forward to this year, but i'm looking forward to it a lot - the first game was one of my favourites of the last gen

is there a good all purpose xbox one thread? trying to find out what's worth playing on the Game Pass.

(currently installed: Witcher III, Outer Worlds, Outer Wilds, Forza 4, Nier Automata, Doom, Gears 5, the 2nd Ori game)

forza horizon 4 is the best exclusive

i think yakuza 0 is on there now which is one of the best games of the past decade

some good indies: yoku's island express, steamworld dig 2, lonely mountains downhill

Some random ideas:

Two Point Hospital
Rocket League
Fallout New Vegas
Untitled Goose Game
Subnautica
A Plague Tale: Innocence
Bridge Constructor Portal
Hollow Knight
Life Is Strange 2
Minit
Slay the Spire
Ori 1
Astroneer
Children of Morta
Wargroove
Doom
Wolfensteins
Void Bastards
Steamworld Dig 2
Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night
Dead Cells
Dishonored 2
Monster Hunter World
Tekken 7

I played thru LIS 1 on the PS3 but have been wary of LIS 2, is it comparable in terms of quality?

I forgot to mention I installed and played thru the first hour or so of Yakuza 0...seems ok so far but not totally sold yet

I've only done episode 1 of both Life Is Stranges. I know the second one didn't resonate as much with fans of the first, but I found it pretty moving. Maybe too corny for some.

Yakuza 0 really shines with some of the goofier side missions and mini games, IMO. The cabaret club game totally derailed me from the main storyline.

yakuza 0 is god tier

I feel like this chip shortage might end up giving my xbox one a slightly longer shelf life in terms of developers not wanting to release stuff only for next-gen consoles :)

Yeah they’ll release games for the prior gen and they’ll run badly and then they’ll apologize to the small number of complainers or whatever

Dear gamer, we are so sorry, please accept 400 game bux which can only be spent in the game store, in the hat section

I sold my XBox One X thinking I could get a PS5 this spring to play Tony Hawk and MLB.

Oooooops.

I know they couldn't have predicted the chip shortage (is this the same shortage hampering car production?), but it really feels like they rushed the release of PS5 and nu Xbox. Like, it could have waited a year to have the same impact, imo.

i believe it is the same chip shortage affecting cars

it seems like 6-7 years in the standard gap between Sony systems ('94, '00, '06, '13, '20). I agree one extra year would've been fine

for comparison
Xbox was '01, '05, '13
Nintendo was '83, '90, '96, '01, '06, '12, '17
