So, I downloaded Vampyr on Game Pass and I'm liking it but it runs very poorly. My PC isn't a beast but can run most games from medium to high settings. I have to play Vampyr on low settings and still the cut scenes are choppy and the gameplay isn't much better.

Has anyone played it on console? I'm debating getting it on PS4 but if it isn't going to run any better I'll pass.

@Splat I played it on an OG Xbox One via Gamepass and it ran good for me. I wouldn't pay $60 for it, but if it is on sale I'd say it's worth it.

So this is pretty funny.

@WanderingBullet
😆 The correct choice is obviously to get the lower one and then not play fallout 76.

@Ryall Yeah, I don't understand why the non-bundled one is more expensive.

@WanderingBullet 😂 It's not even a small difference!

@WanderingBullet probably because no one is buying it as it has Fallout 76 in it and no one want's that

they gotta shift the stock somehow

@FullbringIchigo I don't think it's that bad even if they sold it for $499. It's the same price but with a free game. Consumers can then do whatever they want with the game. $100 off is crazy. lol

@FullbringIchigo @WanderingBullet I would say it's on sale due to E3 but why that one and not the other. It's probably like what was said earlier they just need to move stock cause they need the room for something else.

Yeah, if I see it on a PSN Flash sale I'm going to get it. I had to give up on it on PC. It runs poorly enough that it was ruining the experience.

@Splat That's understandable. I remember reading somewhere that it ran poorly on PC but consoles it ran good. Myabe you will get lucky and it will be a PS+ Game one month

After playing Battle Chasers for a few hours on Pass I bought it for PS4. I just prefer playing on the big screen over my laptop.

@Splat Are the games different in Europe or something?? I look for Battle Chasers on the Game Pass on my Xbox One and didn't see it at all. I would like to try it out as well

@Tasuki I'm in the US but playing on PC. I think the games available are a bit different.

@Splat That's odd, I wonder why PC would have a different list then the Xbox

@Tasuki Availability and licencing could be some major reasons why. MS may not have the same permissions to bring certain games to PC and, like Xbox, games can come and go so its possible that some games may of come and 'gone' on Xbox already and now on PC. The two, whilst MS has control over their games, would still have to rely on publishers agreeing on titles for each format. Obviously, a PC only game won't appear on Xbox's list of Game Pass titles. Maybe things will become more aligned in the future...

Publishers may not want a game that's selling 'well' on PC to be in Game Pass but on console, it could see some new sales as those without Game Pass may buy to play with friends that have it free on Game Pass. There could be other reasons too but I don't think its 'odd' myself...

So looks like there will be only one Xbox console at launch next gen with the less powerful Lockheart being scrapped. Apparently developers were finding it difficult to work with two different consoles. Makes sense as it could have proven a bit of nightmare for consumers too.

@JohnnyShoulder i didn't even know MS was even thinking of having 2 different consoles next gen?

i mean i can kind see why this gen they released enhanced systems so many years after the launch of the original but it makes no sense to release 2 different systems of different specs at the same time

@JohnnyShoulder There was a rumour that it was scrapped because of Stadia. Ether way, I couldn't see it being a good idea and who knows the real reason it was cancelled. For all we know, it was just an idea or even something to throw off Sony...

@FullbringIchigo Phil Spencer said they had multiple consoles in development at E3 2018. One of them was rumoured to be codenamed Anaconda and one codenamed Lockheart.
