Xbox Takes Action After WipeOut For PS1 Gets Ported To Series X|S

I Bought Wipeout XL back in January I thought it was to good to be true, but just found out it's actually been taken from my Library and I can't download it even though I paid money to buy it.

@TojoDragon84 hi same i asked for a refund which was granted after about 2 days

I stopped listening to Digital Foundry awhile back. They show no interest in how the gameplay is. All they care about is visuals and performance. They should cover paintings.

With that said, those are important things but holy ***** does their bias show. When I did listen they came off as snooty and pertinacious with little to nothing positive to say about the Xbox platform. In the end I found little value from their work.

Even in this post there is ZERO mention of how the game actually plays/handles. Again, if all you care about is visuals and performance follow their work. If you care about gameplay and, looking back to GamePro reviews, the fun factor-look elsewhere.

I got in touch with Microsoft and the refund was approved because it's been removed from the store and removed from my profile 👍

@RZ-Atom because it’s an emulation of a PS1 game that is 30 years old. You don’t need a comment on the gameplay. It’s the same game. They did highlight all the texture and asset changes that had been implemented. They’re also a great channel for tech analysis. They don’t often review gameplay because that not what they do. I mean if you go to a brothel looking for love you’ll be disappointed. But most importantly, they never claimed to be a gameplay review channel did they.

Or you could just buy a Nintendo Switch 2 and play Fast Fusion, it's great! Some people say it's the worst game on Switch 2, but I think it's actually second best out of every one of the two games that have released so for for the console

@RZ-Atom
It's a channel about doing Tech analysis, not game reviews...

@GameOverScreen
They have been called Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo and Nvidia fanboys, depending of what fanboys have been butthurt last time.

Guess you missed all the times they praised the Series hardware and games like Hellblade 2 etc?

@Exerion76 @AliceInChains Exactly. They don't talk about the complete games themselves. The art, sound, controls, playability, etc. They care about framerates, performance, and the like.

It's not a full representation of a product they are advertising. At the end of the day they are advertisers and the majority of their comments are not about the complete product.

People can watch whatever they like, clearly, but they need to remember they're not getting the full picture for, again, the majority of the advertisement. Make no mistake, any text, audio, or video about a product you can buy is an advertisement.

@RZ-Atom
"They care about framerates, performance, and the like."

And THAT is the point of the channel.

@GameOverScreen they aren't biased at all they simply report their findings on how it runs on particular hardware. If it runs better on an Xbox they will say and they have done many many times in the past. Just because you ignore those times and are for some on reason annoyed that they dare point out a game runs better on something other than Xbox hardware doesn't make it true. You are the one that comes across as a fanboy hoping they get shut down because the information they have gathered doesn't say what you want it to.

@RZ-Atom they aren't reviewing the gameplay and the game itself though that isn't their purpose they are doing tech analysis that is literally why they were set up. You are criticising them for not doing something that they aren't aiming to do in the first place.

@Zenszulu I'm not criticizing them. I said I don't listen to them anymore because I want a full representation of the product they are advertising. I also said "those are important things" that they cover.

It's fine if others want to only know about a portion of the product they're covering. You people need to learn how to read the context of comments on here.

@RZ-Atom you very much are criticising them for not showing an interest in how the gameplay is. They are your words. That isn't their focus. It is solely about the tech power the games. You can want full representation on everything about the game but you are obviously going into watching their videos knowing you won't get that. I read the context of what you wrote perfectly fine you just don't seem to realise that what you said is what would be considered criticism of it for some reason.

Makes me wonder how much the "devs" made before this was pulled from the store lol.

@Grackler Honestly. Some of these comments are absurd. They'd be stupid even if they weren't entirely beside the point.

The real story here isn't that MS removed this hacky, broken, copyright-infringing product from their store. It's that they allowed it to be there to begin with. Imagine running a brick-and-mortar business and being surprised to find that you're selling something months after you started putting it on shelves. Why do we allow this kind of thing from digital retailers? Just because you can effectively maintain infinite inventory shouldn't absolve you of the responsibility to curate it.

This isn't unique to MS, either. These digital marketplaces have completely abandoned any vetting of the software that they sell. Just look at the piles of low-rent digital trash clogging up the Nintendo eShop, rendering the "upcoming releases" tab completely useless. Sony and Steam have plenty of garbage available as well, although I do feel like they at least do a better job of shoving it into the background.

Best to make the money now and sort out the problems after they happen, apparently. Despicable.

With that said, those are important things but holy ***** does their bias show. When I did listen they came off as snooty and pertinacious with little to nothing positive to say about the Xbox platform.

This is pure comedy. There has been a ton of anti Xbox sentiment in the gaming press since its launch in 2001, but it sure isn't at DF. Richard has been one of the most pro Xbox voices in all of games journalism.

@CallMeDuraSouka don’t know who that is, but he sounds like a good guy! Sure eurogamer has tried to be less biased now but in the past man it was obvious. And btw nothing anybody will tell me about this will change my mind. Their websites dead to me!

I don't know about all the guys at DF. but Richard Leadbetter is a legend in gaming journalism. been following him for years.

He knows his stuff

@CallMeDuraSouka sorry got too emotional on this one! Hahhaa

@Grackler Could not agree more. They need to do several things to keep that storefront clean (especially if people can make a quick buck and run) and if you ask me, it wouldn't kill them to hire someone or have someone on point to sort out the reviews on the store either. 9/10 most reviews are about someone's nan lol.

@RZ-Atom
Digital foundry literally ONLY EXISTS for technical reviews. If you want actual GAME reviews go read this literal site, or IGN or literally any other gaming site.

@RZ-Atom

You utter plonker!

Of course Digital Foundry only cares about graphics, THAT'S WHAT THEY DO!

What you are doing is the equivilent to crying that PureXbox doesn't cover Sega Master System games!

Digital Foundry entire reason for being is to chart grahpics tech!

You utter and complete clown!

@dodgykebaab @HardRockGamer Yup
