Microsoft Xbox Series X | S OT - Power Your Dreams, update: FTC case unredacted documents leaked, including XSX mid-generation refresh, new gyro/haptic-enabled controller, and next-generation plans for 2028

I've had the X/S badge on games in my library since launch. The other stuff sounds nice, though it's not really a November update now that it's December.

Can't wait for them to sell them to facebook!

New Rumor on one of the Studios MS acquired, and it'll be shown at the Game Awards

 

Don't ask me what this says, but I guess it was in a Spanish Magazine.  Have no clue any of its credibility.

 

[Keyser_Soze]

@Joe what does it say?

[jaethos]

It says basically what @JPDunks4 posted with the article, it's just really flowery about it. They say that MS will announce they are acquiring Kojima Productions at The Game Awards and that there will probably be a trailer of the new game they are working on. They say their source is Keighley, who hinted at it to them.

 

I guess we'll see if they're full of it next week, and whether they just destroyed any relationship they have with Keighley.

I love imagining the megaton meltdown of MS acquiring Kojima Productions and then funding the development of P.T./Silent Hills.

I don’t think Kojima owns them... they are Konami properties, and that split was ugly.

True, but P.T. didn't really have any defining franchise characteristics, so I think it would be easy to just run with whatever that was and just not tie it into Silent Hill.

[Dodger]

Resetera Will melt down if MS buys Kojima Productions. 

[JPDunks4]

I really don't think I've ever played a Kojima game before, so its whatever to me.

 

Wasn't a rumor Sony was a bit upset with him after Death Stranding didn't do so well.

[skillzdadirecta]

I think Kojima is one of the most overrated creatives in ANY medium but I'm more looking forward to seeing the Sony fanboys meltdown, then turn on Kojima.

[Keyser_Soze]

Xbox fans before Kojima comes to Microsoft: Overrated, never played it

 

Xbox fans after Kojima comes to Microsoft: OMG best games ever. How could I have never played these games?!?!

P.T was published by Konami too, so they may share in the rights for it.

 

I still have my base ps4 (gave away my pro) and my launch ps3, literally just because I have P.T. on them. The atmosphere of that is one of the most incredible I’ve ever seen in a game.

My Xbox Series X is being delivered today.  Should I stand it up or lay it down?

It looks better standing up, but I have my horizontal because it won’t fit vertically in my entertainment center

My issue is the opposite!  I don't think it'll fit horizontally in my entertainment center.  I can probably put it either way next to the TV though.  I'll have to see how large it is.

Diagonal, the best of both worlds!

[The def star]

I have mine standing up. If you have the space I say have the vent shooting the air up. I should be receiving my Series S today. Got it for my brother so he can gift it to my nephew but said he wants to get him a Series X. So I might just keep the Series S for my office.

I have it vertical. I like the green accents on the top. 
 

Microsoft has done a tremendous job designing this console. It is legit silent. Playing Valhalla on it for hours and it’s relatively cool when I’m done. I know because I rest the controller on top after I turn it off. The disc drive is much quieter than the PS5 too. 
 

[ShreddieMercury]

Just plugged it in, the setup was completely painless through the Xbox app.  I was genuinely amazed by how easy it was.

Thanks!  I was luckily able to get it from the Microsoft Store on launch day, but it took until today to be delivered.

Yeah I didn't know what he was talking about because it works with everything I've been throwing at it.

I have been using it with Valhalla, Call of the Sea and Impossible Lair. There are times when I switch to Valhalla the game state is gone. Not sure what happens but it only happens to Valhalla.

That might be an issue with that game. I've used it with several games and apps and haven't had any issues at all. I've gone from Resident Evil 3, to Netflix, To Amazon Prime, to Cyberpunk to RE3 again with no problems... that's what prompted me to make that post 

 

There's something weird going on with Ubigames this fall... Watchdogs had a lot of weirdness too... I think it has something to do with these games always needing to communicate with Ubi's servers or something.

[Spork3245]

Games randomly closing instead of staying in the quick resume state is common - IGN and others brought it up in their XSX review. It’s happened to me in AC:V, RDR2, and Yakuza (Zero?). It’d be nice if there was a way to see what games are in a QR state or even to be able to “set” games to the state. It works most of the time, however.
