Have wanted to give For Honor a go for ages so definitely jumping into that one!

Pretty cool to get Forza Horizon 2. It's a good game that perhaps got a bit overshadowed by the sequel. So it's good that more people get to try it out. Although the last time they put up a Horizon game for GwG it was shortly followed by that game and all of its DLC being delisted from the XBL marketplace. So I wouldn't be surprised if the same is about to happen to FH2 as well.

These days thay are more likely to just bump it over to GamePass. Have to say that service is proving very handy. I don't think I would have tried Graveyard Keeper without it, and that game is really rather good! Plus I finally get to play HITMAN and see if I am any good, and it saved me a good chunk of money on Sea of Theieves, which I would otherwise have bought, and given how little I've played that's worth the subscription right there.

Was trying to curb my enthusiasm for Horizon 4, as I'm still playing through 1 & 2 and probably don't have the cash to pick it up new.. Then saw the add that of course that too is coming to Game Pass as it's in-house. :D

Shows how quiet MS have been of late, had to go digging down to the third page to find this thread...

Microsoft have resurrected their XO event this year, and there’s a special live ‘inside xbox’ from Mexico City this evening where... well... who knows?

There’s talk of something concrete about crackdown 3, something pubg to try and overshadow the fact it’s coming to the PS4 soon... but there could be anything really.

9pm uk time on mixer.

I just got an X again this week and I'm hoping some good stuff will come to Game Pass tonight. Shadow drops, etc. It's essentially worth it for FH4 for six months but I'd love something else on there. SoT isn't doing much for me so far, sadly, and SoD2 ain't, either. Most of the cross-plat stuff I've already played. Not actually complaining, rather than looking forward to some other stuff.

This is a weird presentation, I don’t think the live and loud crowd is helping them get across what they want. So much echo, so much Oohrah chanting from the crowd.

People were actually whooping over Phil's Hellblade announcement so I didn't hear it properly. Unless he was deliberately chucking the announcement away as a statement of Billy Big Bollocks intent, they need to throw a few of these hired goons out on the street. Thin the crowd a bit. Anyone putting their hand up gets a night in the cells.

Hellblade has a physical release this December, and will also go on gamepass, basically.

Cheers. I'll look forward to that and then I'll jump on the C&R show.

The rent-a-crowd of hepped up fake partying zealots is just awful. The sort of plastic adulation that Bandana Dave Perry craves.

Hellblade coming to GamePass is great since I don;t have that yet, and then Mutant Year Zero is a game I've getting rather hyped about so glad that is there too..

And then they've gone and picked up Obsidian Studios! Interesting indeed!!
