DrDamn https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2025/05/05/gears-of-war-reloaded-release-date/ Gears of War reloaded - just the first one for now - also on PS5. (Just Halo to go really). Further GoW / GeoW confusion incoming!
Alex Wow, what a disappointing final game from the showcase. They really set it up to be something spectacular and it was just the new COD. š
Brave Yeah that soured it a little. Otherwise though, really bloody strong. Very interested in Clockwork Revolution.
Gordon It looks nice but I canāt see me buying Xbox hardware again since I can get the games on PS5 now.
Jogort Purely a streaming device though isnāt it? Stream from cloud or locally from xbox. So just a PS Portal. Think Iāll stick with the deck until Sony release a proper handheld again.
DrDamn Jogort no - they are decently specāed machines: ROG XBOX ALLY X is AMD Ryzen AI Z2 EXTREME - 24GB Memory and 1TB Storage ROG XBOX ALLY is AMD Ryzen Z2 A - 16GB Memory and 512GB Storage They are running a stripped down Windows OS.
Brave Jogort yeah itās a full blown machine with a modified and streamlined version of windows that basically takes you straight to an Xbox interface.
Jogort Ah fair enough then, I just read a small snippet that said streaming from cloud & locally from an xbox. Reading another article now that says it plays natively also and does sound like a solid machine, still think Iāll wait for the PS one though.
DrDamn One interesting aside, particularly if this is the direction future Xbox regular consoles take. It can play all the PS Studios games which have been released on PC. An XBox branded machine with The Last of Us available on itā¦
DrDamn Gordon If itās basically a ROG Ally itās going to struggle with high end games. How are they going to address that? DrDamn particularly if this is the direction future Xbox regular consoles take š Also the ROG Ally is running full windows isnāt it? This should be leaner ā¦ I know, I know.
Gordon If itās basically a ROG Ally itās going to struggle with high end games. How are they going to address that?
Brave I think itās a new chip on the expensive one though. Z2 extreme I think? Iām not a chip nerd but from what Iāve heard people seem to think itās pretty good.
Alex I tried to play The Alters on game pass, which has been getting solid reviews, but it was so broken I couldnāt get passed the opening section.
