Double check in www.blu-ray.com when buying discs from UK, EU, Australia, or Japan, as they are Region B.

No problems if bought locally or from US, since we're all Region A.

Audio delay issue seems to be very selective on my Series X. It's connected directly to my Yamaha RX-A3050 receiver with the provided HDMI cable, and a Ugreen 48gbps cable is used between my receiver and my TV.

It was very apparent in Halo 5, but other than that didn't really see it on other games

It's a bit mild on Halo MCC and Marvel's Avengers. No problems at all with other games.

Yes, everything set to direct.

Plus have no lipsync issues with other consoles or sources. Only isolated to Series X, and even then only obvious on Halo 5.

Lack of VRR doesn't matter since my LG OLED E6 doesn't support it either.

Almost all games I select Resolution mode over Performance, so most of the time I am playing at 4K30

Never gonna happen since the rights are tied up in legal hell, especially since Nintendo is one of those parties

Go get a jailbroken Xbox 360 to play the HD remake of GoldenEye... it's so much better than the N64 original

Wah PS3 and PS4 games so expensive locally?

I always import my PS3 and PS4 games from Amazon or eBay last time, rarely pay more than RM120 with shipping if wait a few months after release

Same now with Xbox One discs, rarely more than RM60-RM90 per game

Most expensive Xbox game I paid for was RM110 for Red Dead Redemption II

Forza Horizon 5 and Microsoft Flight Simulator at the same price range as PS5 games though

Potentially a true remake, rather than a remaster of the N64 game?

The problem had always been Nintendo, because they own the source code for the original game.

This was the reason why Activision developed a new version of GoldenEye for Wii, and later PS3 and Xbox 360 (as GoldenEye Reloaded).

Best news when I saw this on YouTube last night

Definitely downloading it this weekend haha

Rare 100% completed the Xbox 360 HD remaster of GoldenEye 007, under the assumption that Microsoft would figure things out.

EON Productions is the owner of the James Bond intellectual property.

Activision had exclusive video game rights for James Bond at the time. This was before the disastrous release of 007 Legends.

Rare owns all the design and gameplay elements of the N64 GoldenEye game.

Nintendo owns the N64 GoldenEye source code.

As far as I can understand, Microsoft was able to work a deal with Activision for this game with Microsoft publishing and releasing it on XBLA, and Activision gets a percentage of revenues.

Unfortunately Nintendo declined to allow the release since they own the original source code.

Based on the Bond that walks in at the end of the video, this looks more like an upscale of the N64 original versus the Xbox 360 remaster

Will definitely give this a try once released on GamePass. Hopefully I am wrong.

I agree with this.

PS3, PS4, and PS5 has proven to be successful for Sony Malaysia... and PS3 successfully staved off piracy for many many years.

And piracy is no longer an excuse for Microsoft, especially since the Xbox One NEVER had piracy.

On the other hand... in discussion with most of my gamer friends, nobody really cares about Xbox. Even when Xbox 360 piracy was rampant, practically everyone I know (including myself at the time) stuck with PS3 for some unknown reason.

Until today the Xbox still has a reputation as being a 'first person shooter[I]' machine, which is a turn off for those who don't play such games, even if such a reputation is no longer valid today.

Everyone I know is hard up for a PS5... but no one is willing to pay for a Series S or Series X console.

I went for PS3 over Xbox 360 cos I felt it was more value for money since it was also Blu-ray player, and a standalone player cost as much or even more than a PS3 at the time. Plus I REALLY wanted to play Metal Gear Solid 4, and finances limited me to choosing only one platform to support.

Also, the 'shooter console' image still applies even to the Series X. Many of my friends still consider I wasted my money getting a Series X, despite the fact that it is home to so many games from various genres.

My argument is that now both Xbox and PS have the same number of first person shooters anyway, but the stigma remains.

It's going to be moot in the next 10-15 years anyway when consoles go away, and everything is in the cloud.

I truly believe the next generation (PS6/WTF Xbox) is the final console generation... although I guess consoles will still live on in emulation machines and retro releases.

Sony's recent dabbles in the PC market and even releasing MLB 22 for the Xbox are signs that gaming platforms will go away. Everything will be unified - PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.

Digital only games will cause problems with game preservation in the future.

Preservation of games for previous platforms is solely on the efforts of fans and hobbyists, as the major game companies have shown little interest in proper preservation.

While this does not appear to be a problem with PlayStation, since their discs and PSN downloads are in compressed PKG files, this will be a problem with Xbox as XB1 games and above are barely dumped.

This is more than just about piracy but in ensuring the original games can still be played accurately in one form or another in the future... and this is something Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft do not care about as we go full steam ahead into the digital only world of cloud gaming and distribution.

Well, I completely skipped the Xbox One consoles, so there's a lot of games new to me on the Series X that I missed out on in the PS4 era.

I still can't get my hands on the PS5, so I can't say, but on first impressions I would definitely use that for 1st party Sony games... and multiplatforms I will just refer to Digital Foundry and see whichever is better.

One thing I love about the Xbox platform is the lack of regional restrictions for DLCs and digital games

I'm neither a PlayStation nor Xbox nor Nintendo fanboy - I just love 'em all from the 1990s until today. And that's why I have 14 consoles hooked up to my home theater right now.

God of War is a Sony IP so it will never be available on Xbox... however, at least GoW: Ragnarok will be released on PS4

GTA V is readily available on Series X, you can opt to get this year's enhanced version, or the Xbox One version.

Microsoft owns Call of Duty.

As for racing games, Microsoft's Forza games are absolutely spectacular... and Forza Horizon 4 and 5 are some of the best Dolby Atmos showcase in games.

Super Nt, N64, Wii U, PS1, PS3, Xbox, and XBox 360 are connected to a 8-port HDMI switch, which is connected to my Yamaha receiver.

Wii, PS2, and Saturn are connected to a 3-port component switch, which outputs to the RetroTink 5X, which shares a 3-port HDMI switch with the GameCube and MiSTer, and are connected directly to one of my TV's HDMI inputs.

PS4 Pro and Series X are plugged in directly to my Yamaha receiver.

It's a good idea to buy an SSD to store the XB1 games. I got a 2TB Crucial MX500 SSD and it works fine. I also have a 1TB mechanical hard drive to store smaller games (i.e. Streets of Rage 4, TMNT, Killer Instinct).

Don't understand

Not your own home?

Hey thanks man! Didn't know its available.. just ordered and paid haha

Which platform?

For Xbox, there's Halo: The Master Chief Collection, Forza Horizon 4 and 5, DOOM, DOOM Eternal, As Dusk Falls, Cuphead, and there's all those 4K remasters of old Xbox and Xbox 360 games

For PlayStation, there's Uncharted, The Last of Us, Spider-Man, Horizon, God of War

I haven't seen such a deluge of quality games since the 6th gen era.

Thanks for the heads up!

Confirmed devs Cellar Vault Games are indeed Malaysians https://cellar-vault-games.itch.io

Will buy the game to support... not sure if I would play it though lol
