£27.99 on Amazon for the Switch day one edition today so got this bought.

I'm still hoping for a price drop on this before xmas so I can get it for my son. I guess its doing quite well since the price hasn't gone anywhere yet.

Is this still streaming at 720p or have they increased it now?

I haven't used it for a while, but I always used Chrome on MacOS and it worked ok with a paired Xbox controller. Im tempted to sign up again for a quid to play FH5. Although if I wait a bit I guess I could split my one pound month between Halo & Forza.

I just finished it after adding it to my watch list when the trailer first came out. I enjoyed it, like you say entertaining but not earth shattering.

There’s a dedicated thread for Apple Arcade with loads of recommendations.

I still have one as well. It expires on the 19th

I also got a VIP code through today valid until the 19th, although mine only seems to be valid for bundles: PlayStation 5 Disc Edition with additional DualSense Wireless Controller in white, black or red £499 PlayStation 5 Disc Edition with Ratchet and Clank £499 PlayStation 5 Disc Edition with PULSE 3D Wireless Headset £529 PlayStation 5 Disc Edition with Spider-Man: Miles Morales £489 PlayStation 5 Disc Edition with Demon’s Souls £499 PM me if you want it. Edit: Looks like you have to redeem it in-store as well.

Is this 60fps on Switch?

They’re just as bad.

I was about to say the same!

Oh right, that’s the one I was thinking about then. Thanks for the correction

It’s Bike Turismo right? I’ve also never really heard of it before. Looks lovely but no way I could play with that bobbing camera, that must be from a replay right?

Are you using the Stadia pad or the XBox pad? The input latency would be better with the stadia pad but otherwise I don’t see why you’d get any difference.

They’re just shifting the old chromecast ultra devices. They obviously have quite a lot sat around somewhere.

You can see the road ahead though due to the elevated camera, I'm not sure what use the notes would be.

No pics?

I’ve just started playing through the first game in the collection and haven’t noticed anything out of the ordinary. I’m still quite early on though so lots of jungle rather than enclosed tombs.

I think the three of them have free rein to make whatever they like with Amazon. See James' cooking show(which was quite amusing) and that god-awful shipwrecked thing Richard did.

My nephew has a PS5 and he has an external drive with a load of games on it which seems to have died. The drive was originally used in a PS4 if that makes any difference. I got a message from his mum asking if his all his GTA cars & minecraft worlds would be lost. I replied saying I thought that stuff would be on the PS itself, and he shouldn’t have lost anything as he’d be able to download the games again from the store. Am I correct? To have games on an external drive they’d have to be digital copies right? I’m also assuming he doesn’t have PS+ so no cloud saves. His saves will be on the PS5 ssd right?

Given the amount of chat in the FS thread about downloading, patching & content packs it seems like the perfect game to stream.

I thought they added it in the recent update when it became available for all in the browser. Edit: They didn’t, they talked about using it to allow new games on old xboxes. Interestingly Flight Simulator isn’t available on xcloud yet.

I had another go with this last night and after a quick go on that being a cloud game the graphics were nice and clear and the input seemed responsive so thought I’d try Forza Horizon again. What a difference! I was able to navigate around some corners without fishtailing into oblivion. I splashed out on a Ferrari and spent 45 mins cruising around the map and even completed some events. The encoding in this really struggles once you get any decent speed up though. Driving slowly it looks ok, but speed up a bit and it quickly turns into a blocky mess which is a shame.

This feels like it would be perfect for streaming with all the patching and content packs installed, only it's not available on xcloud.

Thinking of getting this for my son after I got the Lego minecraft type one and it didn't really click. I assume after the opening you're free to just mess about in the city? Does it run ok on Switch? That would probably be my preferred platform although its currently full price there (£49.99!!!) vs £11.99 on the Playstation Store.
