Pretty bad?
There are late ports, updates and DLC but as far as I know this is the first time ever that a console has launched without a single new 1st party game. Won’t even be one there in the launch window.
And personally I can’t believe they only had planned to have Halo there.
What if you don’t like first person shooters?
It’s really an astronomically badly planned launch, I know it’s out to cockblock Sony or something but it’s really not doing a good job at all since even multiplats run worse on the Series consoles.
And don’t take me for some trolling Sony fanboy here, I don’t have a PS5 and I’ll do my best to wait for the Pro before I jump in there. I’m really just a disappointed XSX owner. The officially unsupported retail RetroArch is it’s saving grace for me. Don’t think you can get that any longer though.
Fred, as much as it pains me to admit it, i have to agree (i mean, i've also spent 500$ for the Series X).
Also not a PS fanboy since, well, there's nothing in Sony's line-up so far that interests
me besides Demon's Souls remake since i never was into platformers (Sackboy Adventures/the upcoming Ratchet and Clank) and HouseMarque's games, being able to play Ghost of Tsushima, The last Guardian and Days gone at 60fps would have been cool though i admit.
You know what's funny ? That i (and 2 of my other friends) got a Series console mostly due to the BC feature, i mean, here i am playing again Lost Planet 2 (online is still active !), the Gaiden trilogy (1&2 might as well be remastered editions with the X enhancements) , the Zone of the Enders and MGS trilogies etc etc.Frankly, i'm having the time of my life, is this why i spent 500 bucks though ?
Which brings me to : where's that touted "double framerate" feature/option that was supposed to come out ? I'm not kidding when i say that this is one of the main reasons i got my series console so early on since i usually wait 1 year for launch hardware's kinks to get ironed out.
Also, what about some new BC games ? There are still so many titles from the original xbox and Xbox 360 era that should be playable, man, what i wouldn't give for Otogi 1&2, Kingdom under fire : Circle of Doom, Lollipop Chainsaw, JSRF , Gun Valkyrie etc to be playable on the series consoles and at 60fps to boot (for those that didn't support it).
What i don't understand though is if this "framerate doubling" will be a generic/universal feature like the "auto-HDR" one or on a selected/ per game basis or, if it's gonna be available for all BC games (i.e: including xbox One) or OG xbox/Xbox 360 games only.
I'm reading online that MS has an online event/stream on the 20-something of February - really,
really hope that they'll show some news about the whole BC thing.
