Rare Replay Installation is One of the Largest On Xbox One

Does that mean even if you buy the physical disc that you don't get every game on it? You'll need to download the 360 games from the marketplace? Or are you simply saying download from the disc to your Xbox? I know all games on the Xbox one and ps4 require the full game to be installed on the hard drive but the term used of download makes it confusing.

Good thing I'm ordering a 3TB external harddrive.

@jbrewer99 it's confusing I know, but I'll try to clear it up.

On the disc alone is every Rare game released before 2005 and that takes up 11.26GB. When you buy the physical copy and insert it into your console you'll also get the digital licenses to every Rare Xbox 360 game and these will be added to your download queue.

I guess it wasn't possible to fit everything on one disc so they're making the 360 games download only. You really shouldn't be able to tell when you play the game.

@Anthinator thank you for the quick answer. Makes sense although as a collector it's frustrating to think of buying a physical copy without all the games on it. At some point years from now the servers won't be available for you to download those 360 games again. Oh well I'm pretty sure I have physical copies of all their 360 games already anyway so for me it's not a deal breaker. It still would have been nice of them to just put them on two discs if needed. Dlc we all know won't be available for ever, but the actual games should be included if at all possible.

Thanks again for the answer though.

@Anthinator I'm a little confused by this because at around 45 seconds on the video it shows them playing the original banjo kazooie, but when it loads it says xbox 360. Banjo was released before 2005 so why's it say its a 360 game? Is banjo on the disc or no? Or is it counting as a 360 game becuase the rerelease was in 2008?

Grr.. this is annoying. Just put it on two discs if you can't put it on one. People with bad connections don't want to have to download 40GB's worth of data That will take me days. -_-

@Rezalack

I miss the days of double discs (or quadruple for that matter). They were particularly prevalent on the Gamecube too. While they have their benefits they can also be an inconvenience of having the games split up.

But I admit, I do like the idea of having all the games on disc.

@JaxonH I honestly wouldn't care if I had a better connection, but come on. You buy physical for a reason, so you can avoid the large downloads.. It's frustrating. ESO had a 20gb patch day of launch and I bought physical, imagine my disappointment. My thought with this game, maybe I'll take it over to a friends house and we can play some of the games already installed while it downloads there. Still a major inconvenience when the games should IMO be on the disc. Oh well..

@dok5555555 With Banjo-Kazooie they're using the Xbox Live Arcade edition that was released on Xbox 360, not the original N64 one.

I believe this one is on the disc though. I know, it's still confusing. Lol

Rare have got a disc coming out
I would have thought that this was start of Microsoft having 2 week selling digital copies
Then disc
Coming back to rare I would wait and get for it cheaper

50GB is not excessive or too much for 1 bluray disc. It doesn't matter if its 1, 30 or 100 games - its still within the storage capacity! I think its disappointing that some of the games are not on the disc!

Good to know, I will not be purchasing this now.

It's kind of annoying. I was looking forward to having a disc with all that content. I wanted the disc version from a collectors point of view. I think the method they are using with issues digital copies of the 360 games is kind of sloppy to be honest and will they also fill out your apps and games collection or can they only be launched from Rare Replay, are you getting the digital licenses so that you can launch them separately without the disc in? I'm sure there are tech reasons why this is happening , as has been mentioned emulation is still a work in progress and bundling all those games and the emulator wrappers on a disc that's presumably already being pressed may just not have been possible.

I don't mind that much hopefully the game can play part installed because I want to play Knightlore first it's been so so long since I played that game!

This is semi-annoying but won't stop me from purchasing it. Too fantastic of a deal and an experience to not pick it up. Hopefully we can uninstall single games that won't get played (cough Perfect Dark Zero cough) to save hard drive space...

While all games should have been on disc (pre 360 games on 1 disc, 360 games 2nd disc), & I would normally be furious about this as this is one of my biggest pet peeves......the collection is only $30. That's still INSANE value.

Plus, most of their 360 games kinda sucked anyways. I have no intention of replaying the dreck that was Perfect Dark Zero. Or that underwhelming Banjo game. I will give the two Viva Pinata games another go, though.

Still......it's hard to complain (even for me) about getting 30 games for $30.

@KelticDevil I'm surprised to hear you say that about Banjo. I know there were a lot of naysayers when it launched but then ever since I've heard it referred to as the "secret best Banjo game" by more than a few people.

@flameboy84 @KelticDevil I'm very excited to replay all the Banjo games in this collection. I remember initially being underwhelmed by Nuts N' Bolts and never bothered to finish it, but that was a long time ago now.

@Anthinator @flameboy84

I will probably give the N64 Banjo's a shot again. But I am not sure about the 360 one.

Kameo is the 360 game that I want to replay to see if it holds up, Since I am replaying a lot of the 360's catalog right now, I would've already done it. But then they announced this collection, so I will just wait on all the Rare games.

Except for PDZ. That single player is just something I can't go back to. Ever.

@KelticDevil @Anthinator I will definitely play Banjo again, we played the hell out of it as kids but pretty sure we didn't actually finish it.

I'm intrigued about Kameo it was one of those games I wanted and wasn't able to play.

As for PDZ well Perfect Dark was one of my favourite games on N64 (man that Chicago level) and it reviewed well at the time but I guess people really do hate it I'll still play it and beat it!

@flameboy84

I remember Kameo being a good, but not great game. The graphics were fantastic, at the time. And it had a wanna-be Zelda thing to it. I think it's worth giving a shot.

Perfect Dark Zero was a HUGE disappointment to a lot of people. It didn't get awful reviews, mostly due to the multiplayer. I will admit, I did have a lot of fun playing the game online back in the day.

The problem with the game is the awful campaign. I won't bore you with some long review (as I am sure you can just check out the reviews on Metacritic), but a lame story, awful checkpoints, horrific difficulty spikes, lame characters & voice acting, etc. After the original & awesome N64 Perfect Dark, I was expecting WAY better than what we got.

But as a game in a $30 bundle, I would say it's worth it for the multiplayer alone if people actually fill the servers again. If it was $60 by itself again......um no.
