Completely agree.. and with anyone who has one ad that's all you got, damn my heart goes out to you all... And for the series x owners as well.. as black myth: Wukong can play on it.. but the series s is bringing the x down.. ouch!
In theory, I understand wanting to make a cheaper console for people who have a more limited gaming budget, but when it starts to limit the games you can play, it’s not such a bargain.
@@AshApocalyptic series S has nothing to do with black myth wukong not being on xbox, more demanding games run on series S, and black myth wukong run on hardware worse than S, some pcs and steam deck, its just an excuse
@@adamjohanssonn oh shit.. well damn.. I've heard that 'excuse' quite alot with the series S.. so if it can run fine on it, then damn they need to jump in that shit now for the Xbox gamers.. I've not played it yet on my PS5.. but i will soon! I'm going to look up the hardware for the series S and just see what's up with it.. but yea I don't play on Xbox and that pisses me off for their consumers.. damn.. thanks for letting me know!
@TurdFerguson-td9nx And it took Sony 1 week to realise it and all the people who bought it were refunded. When will Xbox realise their mistake? And what about the millions of Serious S owners out there? Will they be refunded?
- I've always said that XSS is just an upgraded XB1X console, not a next-gen one - I have almost 700h in DS1, so you can imagine the hype for DS2 - KCD had more than 20h of cinematics. I expect KCD2 to have even more. Imagine how much time you'll need to make a proper review for it
XSS is actually weaker than the xbox one x, it has a better cpu but less memory and a weaker gpu by all acounts unless you take raytracing into account which literally 5% of games use on Series S and those that do look horrible.
@@Guillemod no, they're not! Starfield crashed every 2h of gameplay on it. When I've switched to XSX, the crashes happened way less, around 8-10h of gameplay!
@Itz_Turbo Ok xbot he's talking about issues developing modern games on an essentially last generation console: the series S. Yes it's a great value for those that like gamepass but it's holding up development of games that push the current gen to its limit. Now go sit in the corner for a few minutes because you're obviously a child.
@Itz_Turbo as I do agree the ps5 pro is over priced and nonsensical, it does not change the fact that the series S was the biggest mistake of this console generation. The amount of throttling that has been done just to appease the series S in excusable. Xbox is essentially getting sloppy seconds on games coming out that require more memory, and I highly doubt under any circumstances that's going to change moving forward.
The series S can't be if it's better than the ps4 pro and Xbox one x that devs still makes game for, not saying it's not the series S alone but the devs of wukong too....the game is a mess it's not optimized not even the ps5 pro do a stable 60 in 1080p, you'll literally need a 4090 for 1440p max 60+fsp
@MMA-watch-point seems you don't see the news, I said MAX SETTINGS, my Rx 6600 can do 1440p 60 fps too but that does not mean it's max settings and that's not including RT
The series S was a complete waste of resources and money. They should’ve just released the series X and a disc less series X version. Especially since the price of the series X came down significantly within two years.
Yes please cover Eternal Strands; the detonation system looks like a true innovation that frankly I wish Veilguard should have moved toward even though still think Veilguard is great.
CES is going to be huge for gaming, the 50 series are being announced on Monday and based on all the leaks, the 5090 is going to be a monster. They probably will have Witcher 4 announcements to go with the launch as well.
It's unfortunate about games being unable to be brought to Xbox due to the Series S. The Series S makes up most of Xbox console sales. I firmly believe it was a good decision to have it since gaming has become too expensive to get into for a lot of people and it decreases the barrier of entry somewhat. And if this little machine is able to run GTA VI for me whenever that drops, it would well have been worth it.
Eternal Strands could be excellent... could be a full bust. Performance and tight gameplay will tell the tale starting with the demo... Good stuff Jor.
DS2 is going to be so insane, I cannot frickin' wait. DS is easily one of the best games I've ever played and I'm so excited to see the new QoL features, biomes, characters, bases, and make some awesome deliveries with the new vehicles.
The series S was a terrible decision by Microsoft. It holds back the development of games because of the weaker hardware. And as it seems now, even games are not being released on xBox because of the existance of the series S.
Series S is hampering game devs & consumers suffer , why on earth if I'm a developer would I hamper my development with a basic console that cannot run my game?
Imagine small games coming out from Sony Old franchises Brough back from the dead, 10-12 hours max to complete 100%, they’d make money back in smaller increments on games like Jak, Spyro, Sly, Ape escape and the like. Bring the ps3 gen back. People underate killzone, Resistance and Socom cause they didn’t sell as much as uncharted but the thing about the industry now is that these games would sell so much more given the PS ecosystem needs them and how much it’s grown.
@@Rex-ww4cw Yes, iirc the Series S has 8GB dedicated to games while the Steam Deck is 1GB that can be boosted to 8GB if needed. The Series S would probably be a decent console if Developers were bothered to optismise games more, I'm not going to crucify the console when current games bring a RTX 4090 to a stuttering 30 fps. Black Myth still has memory leaks on PC and PS5 lol
lets be honest Alan Wake 2 and Hellblade 2 are both UE5 AAA Games and they run decent enough on the Series S and i bet that they req the same if not more memory to run
And GTA VI will run at like 12 fps on the series S. It will not even run a stable 30 on the Series X or the PS5 or the PS5-pro. Still remembers when GTA V was released on the PS3, it was fucking horrible and it took until the PS5 until it ran at 60 fps if one does not count PC.
Series S is value console, people need to stop sh*tting on it. It's cheaper, so it's less powerful - obviously. Yes, it would be smarter from Microsoft to release game at least on Series X when possible, because that would also work as insentive to buy X instead of S BUT if they can make games like BG3 run on S without any major hiccups, it *is* doable, I don't see the problem.
Same didn’t play the first one, and not going to play the 2nd nobody wants to be just walking around all day and doing nothing. Definitely not a game for me maybe for some people but not for me!
Fuck i heard about eternal strands years ago... And to know its not out just yet.. means i didnt miss it... But i hope it des come to consoles.. bwomp!
Owners of the Series S will _of course_ defend their purchase but... screw the Series S Regarding the Microsoft parity decision - the console was a terrible idea and the idiots who went for a bargain would have epic tantrums if it wasn't in place.

Suicide squad is worst triple a game I play ever is disgusting. I was think may like it buy for 3 euro early on big sales and refund I need my 3 euro back. Never play worst game then this is so cheesy gameplay is not responding and repeatable even I can't stand this game
Be honest to yourself Starfield can run on every hardware the game is very outdated only openworld this gen that still have loading screen even Baldur’s gate 3 devs have a huge problem of running the game on the S and the game is top down rpg Series S was trash
@@sakuragi1062 I never have any problems with my S serie once a while i play in it. I heard other games crashes but never had a issue. They also want Black myth as a exclusive thats the problem not the serie

Why would ypu have bought an xbox😅
@emmaelstad341 just bc i use a xbox one as streaming platform for a non smart tv aka point proven 😂
Incels
@Itz_Turbo media console yes, gaming strength na
Same. Dude I felt like I was getting played. All the games I was playing on Xbox I could play on PS5 plus all the exclusives.
omg I'd love to see Sly Cooper return, that was my childhood
My most anticipated: Avowed, Outer Worlds 2, Ghost of Yotei, South Of Midnight… and release dates/windows for Exodus and Mass Effect 4.
Sony needs to bring back Warhawk.
The online monetization could be insane. That's the only way to convince developers to explore it.
This. That game was pukka
Happy new year 🙏
you too!
when will they release next article on assassin's creed shadows
Yeah waiting on it
very soon

At a monster price
@Guillemod very true haha.
They should just put the games on X. There’s no need to require it for both systems. If they want it for S, then Microsoft can foot the bill.
I’m personally really excited for DS2, the first one was a great, and unique game that I thoroughly enjoyed.

Hey JorRaptor why not covering one of the biggest contenders for game of the year 2025 Monster Hunter Wilds?
Who says we aren't covering it?
The Series S is to Phil Spencer what Kinect was to Don Mattrick.
The series S was a terrible decision by Microsoft. It holds back the development of games because of the weaker hardware. And as it seems now, even games are not being released on xBox because of the existance of the series S.
Not true. Stop making excuses. All top games run great.
@@GuillemodXbox has the least amount of games of any platform on the market.
8:48 Could someone tell me which game that is? ^^
Ubisoft dont say not more about ac shadows think the things is going to well
There is I believe one way to play Black Myth Wukong on Xbox, and that’s to use GeForce now
Yeah, that's why people bought a gaming console. To stream games
Series S is hampering game devs & consumers suffer , why on earth if I'm a developer would I hamper my development with a basic console that cannot run my game?
the sad reality
Money🤑
Killzone 1-3 remastered is my vote. 🗳️
Naughty Dog should let Bend Studios take over the Uncharted series, as they already did The Golden Abyss and worked with ND for Days Gone
If Xbox is done with Xbox, why should devs be different🤔🤷
I swear I use to watch a vr youtuber with the same exact voice
My hope:
1. Less new console games being REMASTERS but new games or sequels/spin-offs
2. Less Live Service games
Imagine small games coming out from Sony
Old franchises Brough back from the dead, 10-12 hours max to complete 100%, they’d make money back in smaller increments on games like Jak, Spyro, Sly, Ape escape and the like.
