@Anti-Matter I'm not sure anyone here actually had a Kinekt let alone tried cross region games.... It wasn't very popular, and almost everyone here had a Wii for motion type games. You may have to try a bigger forum than nl to find someone whose tried things like that (and no, pure xbox is pretty small... Something like reddit or something where a lot more people hang out might be necessary.)
Is anyone downloading or going to try Call Of The Sea on Series S/X? I'm playing through it now and it looks gorgeous with the ray tracing and the puzzles can be quite challenging. It's on Game Pass so if you've got it, it's worth a try
@Anti-Matter The answer to your question is no, unfortunately. I think you need to remind yourself of your own, VERY specific taste in games, which should make you understand that basically none of us here play these types of games, much less games from other regions, so in all honesty we, the more hardcore and serious Xbox gamers (lol), wouldn't be able to give you any kind of sensible answer.
I can understand you wanting to know, but I also think that you've been given some good advice, to look elsewhere than here, because you're not going to find the answer you look for in this place.

@ThanosReXXX
I think i will dare myself to pick Body and Brain Exercises PAL version from my local online shop as they are quite cheap (almost $10) and i believe the PAL version will likely playable on USA machine as i got information the USA version playable on USA and PAL machines (i checked who is the developer / publisher first).
I got another information too about Kinect Adventures, Disneyland Adventures PAL version were playable on USA machine.
I got covered for almost Kinect games i want to buy (got the information of region compatibility to be played on USA machine), just only Body and Brain Exercises i have to test it out by myself.
@DarthNocturnal
Wish me luck.
I will dare myself to buy that game on PAL version from my local game shop.
If it not playable on USA machine, at least i still can find the USA version from play Asia. But if it playable, I don't need to find the USA copy.
@Anti-Matter Just check before you buy that you can trade the game back in case it doesn't work. Any good game shop should offer you that option, in my opinion and experience.

If anyone wants to play Cyberpunk today instead of tomorrow just set your language region and location to New Zealand! I just tried this and got it to load It hasn't downloaded the day one patch though so am leaving for a while to see if it updates
I've been playing Cyberpunk this morning on Series S and it looks "ok" - I mean, it runs smoothly but you can tell it's based on the One S version. It would have been nice to have some proper enhancements but I think I might wait until it gets upgraded next year to play it through properly. I'd just like it to look like a next-gen game
Interesting early comparison here. Xbox One/PS4 versions are both blurry as hell. PS4 hovers around the low-to-mid 20s framerate-wise, and the Xbone S can barely crack 20fps most of the time, apparently.
This is running significantly worse on last gen home consoles than TW3 runs on Nintendo Switch.
@gcunit
I don't know, it's a very ambitous game and to be honest it probably shouldn't have been developed for the older consoles but the PS5 and Series X versions are just the backwards compatible versions anyway with slight enhancements. Remember, The Witcher 3 was a very buggy game at launch but it's now considered one of the best RPGs there is and CD Projekt are always good at adding free DLC.
@Magonigal I didn't mean that they're just going in the bucket with EA, but for a while they've sat on a pedestal above most other AAA game developers, basically due to Witcher 3. This release for PS4/XB1, by the sounds of it, just undoes that elevated status somewhat.
You guys had me at blood and semen.
What better way to celebrate than firing something out of the pipe?

Yeah I just booted it up. The Series S version is a bit disappointing as it is. There seems to be no performance mode option, like there is on the Series X, so it's locked at 30fps as far as I can tell.
It also seems to be locked to sub 1080p. The image is very blurry. Almost as if it's 720p or something. I think we're getting the resolution they had to use for the previous gen console.
I'm thinking I'll just wait until they've significantly upgraded it. 1080p 60fps frankly should be the bare minimum on a new console.
