Perfect Dark announced for Xbox

I hope it's a LOT better than the 360 installment. Multiplayer was ok but the campaign wasn't much cop at all.

Let's hope the Initiative can pull it off and match the original for gameplay.

I see flight simulator was confirmed for a summer console release and only on Series consoles.

Yakuza 3-5 HD Collection and Yakuza 6 are coming to Game Pass on Xbox and PC as well as solo releases next year

Hope they nail Microsoft Flight Simulator as well because everything about the PC version suggests they have a monumental task on their hands getting the build quality up to scratch by launch to be worthwhile on console.

Ark is getting a sequel and animated series in Ark II but it probably says a lot how much focus on Vin Diesel. It's coming to XSX and PC.

The trailer for flight simulator was all taken from Series X and it looked pretty good from what I can tell, going off a youtube video.

I don't want to poo poo on this but Perfect Dark hasn't been good since the original on N64, and has aged badly. It's just riding on a name people recognise.
As for Flight Sim, it does nothing for me.
This is Xbox being Xbox all over again.

I'm still to be impressed by Perfect Dark after the poor 360 game but I think as an IP it is ripe for a remake. There is so much you can do with it in terms of bringing it up to a next gen level that I am hopeful but you're right, they're coming from a place where the name holds weight but the last iterations have been wanting.

As for Flight Sim, it looks great but I hope they add some distinguishing features to the console outing. Someone on here mentioned a Pilotwings type campaign and the more I think about it that is the perfect thing to add. Even if it was just a laundry list of quick levels to master different disciplines and aircraft it could be very cool.

I'm hopeful largely because MS's teams seem to do astounding work when it comes optimising their XB/PC titles, I'm just wary because the rig required to get consistent non-issue gameplay out MFS batters the XSX so presumably cutbacks will be made.

I’ve only tried Flight Simulator on my friends PC but I though it looked great and ran pretty well across three screens with a Ryzen 3600 and a GTX 1080. Surely a tightly optimized Series console version can cope?

[Neon Ignition]

It's a bit all over the place due to the differences in specs bit it doesn't take much to topple the game particularly with high density areas, there are also some regions that are less focused on over some key aspects. Presumably a lot of focus will be switched to the console versions ahead of launch, it just seems a bit premature as it's still a title very much being actively updated. With a fixed spec and the right balance the X might do a reasonable job of it, not sure I'd be expecting much from the S especially as the game continues to bloat and develop in the following years.

I don’t understand the interest in just flying a plane about unless you are going to blow stuff up, no matter how pretty it looks! Still, that’s one flight simulator more than PlayStation will get.

Some of us here are awaiting our import arrivals of a train game on PS4. Balance restored
