@happygaming My experience with it is limited to one 360 game and it works great. Although is not comparable to something like Gears 5 that probably has the best implementation of HDR on a game. Eurogamer/DF has a good article on the subject https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.eurogamer.net/amp/digitalfoundry-2020-xbox-series-x-auto-hdr-what-works-and-what-doesnt

Sid Meier's Covert Action 1990 Covert Action places you in the role of a CIA agent going after criminal organisations around the world. You'll try to solve active cases trying to get those involved before the plot is successful. You'll collect clues, gather evidence and arrest the suspects through several game modes that go from (but not limited to) decoding text messages, solving logic (circuit) puzzles to breaking into buildings to gather evidence or arrest suspects. It offers infinite replayability as cases are randomly generated and the number of variants are plenty (yet some repetition is inevitable the more you play it). Although the idea of randomness might sound off-putting in truth Covert Action feels incredibly dynamic as once on a case, it evolves in an organic way with the player being able to approach it in a number of different ways without compromising success. This is an incredible well designed game with near perfect pacing. Each case is fairly quick to solve with every step until completion satisfying enough to keep you going for that sweet satisfaction of successfully closing a case and thinking to yourself... ok maybe one more, until all bad guys are in jail. I would kill for a modern remake. No need for a big budget facelift just bring it to 2020 technical standards. You can get it on Steam https://store.steampowered.com/app/327390/Sid_Meiers_Covert_Action_Classic/ GoG https://www.gog.com/game/sid_meiers_covert_action

Apparently Phil hinted at another event coming in August. I wonder if we'll have the Series S announcement and prices too. It's about time both Sony and MS stop playing chicken.

@happygaming Thanks for listening. I use Reason then I have some hardware. Got a MS20 that I use a lot. For this recordings I've used a Retroverb Lancet with the MS20. Also used a Drumbrute Impact just to make some drum samples. Got some more gear but haven't used it here. Used to be more of a analogue purist but right now I love to experiment with both digital and analogue.
