Has anyone else's wishlist completely emptied itself? I had about 40 things in it but now its empty. Wondered if it was a glitch across users.

[Robbo-92]

Yes, mine has vanished as well, tried re-adding some of the items and when I went back to it 10 minutes later, it had emptied itself again.

WTF is a Nexus card?

WTF is a Nexus card?

According to Google:

NEXUS is designed to expedite the border clearance process for low-risk, approved travelers into Canada and the United States. By paying one fee, NEXUS members have crossing privileges at air, land, and marine ports of entry that support the program.

WTF is a Nexus card?

...I'm not sure! Searching online, the only reference I can find is that the controler Xbox button is *sometimes* known as Nexus...

WE'RE GOING INDIE!


February 29, 2024

BY Paul Yan & Avery Lodato

We’re thrilled to announce that Toys for Bob is spinning off as an independent game development studio!

Over the years, we've inspired love, joy, and laughter for the inner child in all gamers. We pioneered new IP and hardware technologies in Skylanders. We raised the bar for best-in-class remasters in Spyro Reignited Trilogy. We’ve taken Crash Bandicoot to innovative, critically acclaimed new heights.

With the same enthusiasm and passion, we believe that now is the time to take the studio and our future games to the next level. This opportunity allows us to return to our roots of being a small and nimble studio.

To make this news even more exciting, we’re exploring a possible partnership between our new studio and Microsoft. And while we’re in the early days of developing our next new game and a ways away from making any announcements, our team is excited to develop new stories, new characters, and new gameplay experiences.

Our friends at Activision and Microsoft have been extremely supportive of our new direction and we’re confident that we will continue to work closely together as part of our future.

So, keep your horns on and your eyes out for more news. Thank you to our community of players for always supporting us through our journey. We can't wait to share updates on our new adventure as an indie studio!

Talk to you soon!

If we are to get a next gen Xbox at the end of next year what do you guys think is possible?

Will they manage to get 4090 level power but with much more hardware AI integration?
Microsoft have claimed it'll be the biggest leap in power ever but can a 4090 level unit fit into a console and can it be made at a price that is actually able to sell consoles?

£178! Blimey, you could buy a real Xbox 360 for that. With a copy of Project Gotham Racing 4, obviously.

Yeah, it looks pretty neat, but... one-hundred-and-seventy-eight quid?!? I'll make do with my real 360 .

[Frank]

I was comparing it, and per-brick it's actually more expensive than Star Wars-licensed Lego Mega Bloks used to be CHEAP.

[rinks]

Wait... does it really cost that much?! It looks like it would be disappointing for £20.

[KK]

No, I tell a lie, it’s actually £177.99.

That one won't red ring though.

A 4090 costs £1800 on it's own, so no

That's some good news the laid off workers have this going on - best of luck to them

Just to set expectations they're going indie (with a possible partnership with Microsoft) there's no chance they'll be able to do anything with the Crash [and more importantly] Sypro IPs under this set-up, right?

"Exploring a partnership with Microsoft" sounds to me like they would like to make Crash and Spyro games for MS.
