You have the XBox version of PGA TOUR 2K21 don't you? I'd like to get your reaction to how it plays on the Series X, now that they've added an option to support 60 FPS on the Series X. If you try it, make sure you go in and change the graphics settings to "vsync - 60 Hz". It defaults to 30 Hz, even if it's being played on a Series X. I'll warn you if you haven't played 2K21 in a while. Over the last couple of weeks, they've implemented a swing change on the server side, that nerfs red fast tempos, and as of this past Friday, red slow tempos. You lose a lot of distance when you get into the red tempos... even on pitch shots

So I played a round in the DSP tournament, I really need to put some time in and be able to upgrade equipment and the thought of doing that is not appealing right now but anyway. I thought it played really well, no hiccups or lag, load times were great. It plays as well if not better then the PC version in my opinion. IU was expecting better graphics since my PC doesn't have a 4k monitor or HDR but I really didn't see anything impressive in that department.

The game that has given me hope is Madden, after playing a lot of it on the PC I could feel how differently it played. They could certainly do a lot more with it and knowing EA they won't but I can see the potential. Also really nothing on the X/S version that they couldn't do on the PC so they basically just crippled that version to have an X/S version.

I continue to really enjoy The Show, not going to lie I would play it 5 times as much on the PC because I just am more comfortable playing long games on the PC.

So what game really shows off the X/S at this point and preferably on Game Pass

Try Control, it uses Ray Tracing, The game Medium on Game Pass uses RT as well. Dirt 5 supposedly looks better on the X/S.

edit: Not sure about Medium if it's using RT but it does require a next gen XBOX

Figured this would be the best thread for this..maybe.

One of my favorite games from the PC, probably top 5 for me is coming to the Xbox One on June 23rd (PS 4 later). It is called Order of Battle WW2. If you ever played a game like Panzer General back in the day this game is like that. While there are a host of these type of games on the PC Order of Battle is by far my favorite. There are over 1 million active monthly players, a whole host of campaigns as DLC and over 1000 WW2 units. While the base game is free to download on the PC with a 4 scenario campaign, the console version will include the entire Blitzkreig campaign so will cost something.

If you like pushing units around on a map and like beer & pretzel strategy games this is a great buy.

Copped the PS5 disc edition on Amazon 20 minutes ago, seems OOS now.

Digital could go live any minute now.

Carry on.

Oooooh. Thanks for the tip. I loved Slitherine's Commander: Europe at War on the PC about 15 years ago.

Anyone using a Sony Gold or Platinum headset on the PS5?

I know the companion app is not available on the PS5, what profile are you using on the PS5? Is the 3d sound working?

Horizon Forbidden West looks ridiculously good. The first one was incredible on the PS4 This one is next level.

Battlefield 2042 reveal trailer dropped today. Looks very nice. Gameplay trailer is coming 6/13.

[MizzouRah]

I guess the future is multiplayer as BF 2042 has no single player mode.

I guess the future is multiplayer as BF 2042 has no single player mode.

Which suits me just fine. Hopefully it’s part of the gamepass deal.

My kids enjoy MP but it's not for me.

I've always enjoyed the Battlefield series when I play from time to time. I like the move to the near future, but man was that trailer over the top. I've always liked the somewhat realistic nature of the Battlefield games compared to Call of Duty. I hope this still has that feel and this was just an over the top trailer to get the kids excited.

MS is making it pretty easy now for me to decide between xbx and ps5.

XBOX KILLING IT AT E3 -

Good for you! I decided when Xbox Live went into beta in 2002 and never looked back. No regrets, especially after today's announcements!

The Halo Infinite MP deep dive today was “OK” today. Nothing really jumped out as next gen. Looks good but not ground breaking.

Xbox/Bethesda presentation was indeed great.

If my Series X hadn't been a dud when I received it at launch, I wouldn't have grabbed the PS5.

I've enjoyed the PS5 so far - Spiderman, AstroBot, Ratchet and Clank, Demon's Soul and some PS4 upgraded games like God of War.

But....with Flight Simulator, Forza Horizon 5 and Bethesda's games coming to Gamepass, I think I will crack and get the Series X.

Has anyone been able to justify both? I figure a Series X with Gamepass will cost about $20 (CDN) a month for the next 6 years (typical cycle). That's how I'm justifying it anyways!

I have both the Xbox Series X and a PS5. I am an Xbox first guy but also enjoy Sonys 1st party games…mainly The Show until this year. I purchased a PS5 back at launch and had every intention of keeping it but ended up eBaying it. Started it at a bit above what I paid for it and it escalated to a crazy price. It basically made the PS5 I purchased a few months ago free. I play the XBSX more than the PS5 but Horizon Zero Dawn, GOW and Spider-Man are sick games on the PS5 so i am on one of those games with regularity. I have the best of both worlds at the price of one.

Best of both worlds for sure.

If you only buy Sony first party games and nothing extra on Xbox besides Game Pass you probably have everything covered!

Don't forget the new Ratchet and Clank game. It's so incredibly fun and looks amazing. I'm taking my time and I already know I'm going to miss playing it after I'm finished. Insomniac has slightly surpassed Naughty Dog as my favorite developer.
