If true, definitely called Horizon coming in 2021.

Finished Yakuza Kiwami 2.

Already made a pretty big post about it so I'm keeping it short.

Far better graphics, better combat system (blocking still sucks), while triggering a street fight you can actually run away or fight them where you want instead of a small confined area that is blocked off by pedestrians, far better skill and attribute system, cutscenes aren't that terribly long in comparison to Yakuza 0, much more variety during story, you can actually set custom markers on the map this time around.

Money is pretty much useless though. Spent 10 million yen during the whole game while I made 75 million by completing the hostess minigame. I bought food and drinks all the time and also equipment and weapons yet I still have this absurd amount left. Also the bonus for completing the game is 1 million yen LOL thanks for that.

Twists are not that terrible this time even when some of them were quite obvious. Not all lines are dubbed and there's once more no English dub included.

In short, the game is far superior to Yakuza 0 which may be troublesome as it's just a remake (and from what I've seen a very faithful one) and Yakuza 0 was brand new at the time...

8/10



I got my Series X yesterday. I only got to play Ori and the will of wisp so far but my gosh is that game gorgeous. I'll start gears tactics and a new gears 5 campaign with Batista Marcus next.



Hmm, Horizon news is intriguing. If they can make FH4 in 2 years, a cross gen Horizon 5 would be especially well polished. Depending on Starfield and Forza Horizon 5, 2021 is better then expected.

High Profile 3rd Party Timed Exclusive (4): The Medium, Scorn, The Gunk, Stalker 2

1st Party (8): Halo Infinite, Flight Sim, Psychonauts 2, As Dusk Falls, Grounded, Age of Empires 4, Forza Horizon 5, Starfield.

Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

So why did MS announce Motorsport before Horizon when the latter is releasing out first?

Because Sony already announced GT7 and they wanted to show that the graphics on the new ForzaTech engine were as good as the graphics on GT7 I'm guessing. In that one interview with the Forza Motorsport reboot technical director, he hinted that they rushed to get that in-engine teaser trailer for the game ready in time for the July show, which implies they started work on that trailer after Sony announced GT7 in June.

If Horizon 5 is 2021, then it is most likely cross-gen running on a lightly modified build of Horizon 4's engine, graphics won't be amazing as a result, so MS wanted to show the next-gen Forza graphics in Motorsport Reboot first. And of course Motorsport reboot only entered full development between September and December 2019, and since they're starting over from scratch with new car models and tracks, the chances of it releasing in 2021 are slim I'd say. 

Visuals in the last two Horizon games were already ahead of the field, so just at that level in 4k60 with the right setting (Japan) should already make it a killer app.

Plenty of people here want Japan... am I the only one who wants Russia or Argentina? There's a lot more variation in those two to be had.

Yeah Japan is cool  ut Russia, Argentina,  Brazil, South Africa would be better imo.



Xbox Series X|S sold 15K in Spain at launch and is sold out. Microsoft only sent units to 6 retailers.

I have XB1 having sold 15K as well back at launch, which would make this the third country where XBS matches close to what XB1 sold initially

UK

XBS: 155K
XB1: 150K

Spain

XB1: 15K
XBS: 15K

Japan

XB1: 23.6K
XBS: 20.5K

Won bet with t3mporary_126 - I correctly predicted that the Wii U's LTD at the end of 2014 would be closer to 9 million than 10 million. http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=6673287

This works. Instead of one 20 hour AAA game every 5 years we can get one 5-6 hour AAA every 2 years. This can pad more years of the gen, and I mean that in a good way. Keep the Game Pass beast fed with more AAA 1st party content. Give fans more games and confidence on social media. 

I hope they'll sell these games for 40$ if this is the case. Otherwise the backlash would be enormous. Call of Duty is probably the only franchise that they can sell 4-5 hour games for 60$ and get away with that

I must say, the current-gen version of Cyberpunk looks way better than I was expecting:

Resolution seems a bit fuzzy on XB1 X, but improved on Series X BC, which presumably means there is a resolution scaler in place. Some noticeable pop-in while driving, but it's not too bad. Lighting and reflections look quite good considering they are pre-baked instead of ray-traced. Framerate looked stable to me even during heavy action scenes. If the current gen version already looks this good on Series X, imagine how good the actual Series X optimized version will look when it releases in 2021. 

Dude, I'm loving the promotional content for this game lately. Those people from a few months ago who were lowering their expectations seem to have jumped the gun:

Spoiler!
