so you could say that retail is losing its relevance in comparisons which was already fairly obvious

I'm not rating this year until I've played Halo.

Year one is a 6/10. Only major exclusive was Forza but their E3 was pretty good and the future is bright.

Quality mode on FH5 is indeed poor and basically unplayable for me. 30fps makes it look and feel awful when driving. Performace mode on the other hand is absolutely gorgeous!

Thank goodness for that, Xbox games on PC have been an absolute nightmare for me. Refusing to change install from C to D drive, games not installing/uninstalling correctly and taking massive amounts of data. It's crazy how the creator of windows literally had the worst functioning client for installing their games.

Microsoft might want to look at their browser. Edge is literally telling me not to buy from their own store and get a used copy from ebay instead. I didn't click on anything, this massive popup appears on it's own when I go onto their site.

It's also saying "$" instead of "£" but let's ignore that.

Only 365 days till Starfield.

The problem with all these games being leaked so early, still being "codename: X" is the amount of cancelled projects we know about this generation is going to be much higher lol.

Wish they wouldn't leak it at all.

Yeah, most of the time a project being cancelled isn't really related to budget, they just get so far and then decide "Well actually this is kinda crap, we don't want you to keep making this." and bin it, then the studio has to get something else greenlit.

Like the Fable game on XBO that was cancelled, that got far into development but was canned probably because they thought it was bad, I doubt it was monetary reasons.

Disco Elysium style of a game with writing as masterful as Kurt Vonneguts's omg that would be something!
