Okay Phil I am very impressed with the Xbox Series X.
As I mentioned before one of the really cool features that it has is Quick Resume.
Quick Resume doesn't always work and there have been times when it doesn't work, but when it does oh boy..
So I use my XSX daily, mainly to watch stuff like HBO Max (since the audio quality is a lot better compared to my PS5 and stuff. I have not play stuff like Apex, Savage Planet and FH3 in like a few weeks to over a month or so...
I was able to get back I to Apex with quick resume after having been mainly using the video apps, that was not that impressive I guess. I then tried to play Savage planet and to my surprise it quick resumed the game after not having played in basically a month. Wow. Since I was having issues with Apex I decided to go into the Xbox settings and restart the system. I was under the impression that all quick resume data would be "lost" sort of thing which is to be expected.....but nope that was not the game, I was able to quick resume back Into Apex, okay that's pretty cool. For Savage Planet I though nah this will not quick resume ...but it did..... And then comes my biggest surprise, I don't think I have played FH3 in maybe almost 2 months now and not only did I restart my Xbox (this is not just "go to sleep mode") and BOOM it was able to quick resume that.....
The PS5 can't even okay 2 games at the same time and meanwhile you have the XSX over hear being able to juggle multiple games. That's very impressive. The PS5 may get an update to do something similar but I highly doubt that it will be able to do it to this good of a degree.
It's not without it's issues though, this feature works best on Xbox One titles. I have tried it with BC OG Xbox and Xbox 360 titles and it just deleted all the quick resume stuff so all your games just "closed"/exited.
I think I also mentioned the whole RDR thing a while back about how I have not played that game since 2013, I had my save uploaded online since I still had Xbox Live Gold at the time, I have not touched that game and stuff since and when I played RDR on my XSX it was able to use my save data from 2013..... Thank you MS for not deleting people save data....
Yes games are very important but so are features as well.
And so far the main sort of cool feature that the PS5 has that I like is the PS+ trophy guide that shows you a video on how to get trophies and stuff. I used it for Bugsnax and it was pretty useful.
It did have a steam banner but only a few days after Early Acess Launch when it had already sold quite a bit.
This I am aware of but the thing is I'm not sure how many days after it was. I think maybe it was like on day 2 of Early Access when it got the banner. At which point that banner would have given much greater exposure than Twitch views would.
Something else I remember there being talk about that Sony All Star Destructors game. Did that have high twitch numbers and then sort of fizzle away? Was Sony hoping to have a big multiplayer hit? Also has Ubisoft said anything about how their BR game is doing or that one durby game? And how does EA feel about Rocket Arena?
