"There's Loads of Madden 21 News Soon ... But Here's The Best Part"

[onegroove7]

"...When you buy Madden 21 on Xbox One, you get it free on Xbox Series X."

Is this an early sign Madden 21 will be a major disappointment? If you buy one and get one free, that would mean both copies are the same price, right? I thought I remembered in years past where there was a crossover between systems, EA would have two very different games and the previous generation game would be much cheaper since it wasn't really an improvement.

I have a bad feeling Madden 21 on Xbox Series X will be the same game as its Xbox One counterpart.

There's already a catch. You have to buy it by December 31st this year and redeem it before the end of March 2021.

Judging from that very short clip it does seems like Madden 21 on next gen will just be a current gen port. But that has nothing to do with cross gen, other games are doing cross gen too.

That doesn’t make it any better. I’m really disheartened that Microsoft is pushing cross gen so hard. We are making such a big jump in CPU and SSD drives and games won’t be putting them to good use.

Games will definitely be putting next gen to good use. Honestly, I could care less about graphics at this point, Madden 20 looked great.

The thing I'm looking forward to most for next-gen is improved load times and performance.

LOL It has nothing to do with how good the game will be. That's an emphasis of the Series X marketing that current gen games will get the free upgrade. That's why they mentioned it and made a huge deal about it.



And the reason he said that's the best part is because it was an Xbox Show that released that footage. It's not literally saying that's the best part of the game... it's just Xbox marketing.

Don’t get me wrong, those are definitely things I’m looking forward to also. But where things are really going to shine is in game design. Smarter CPU, many more things happening on screen in bigger environment, physics and destructive environments.

This gen is bigger leap than PS3/360 to PS4/XOne.
