Re: Rare's Everwild Is Reportedly 'A Real Mess', Still Being Figured Out

BANJO

This dosen't sound very promising.
2022 release date seems like a pipe dream currently, 2023 also unlikely.
When developers so high up in the development of the game leave it's no wonder others still working on the title below lack direction.. Unfortunately I don't think I'm overstating when it seems like this game is in "development hell" currently.
I hope I'm wrong...

Re: Talking Point: What Have You Bought In The Xbox Countdown Sale 2021?

Redout dlc track packs, really enjoying the additional courses. I picked up Crash 4 also so looking forward to playing that.
Although not in the sale I'm really enjoying playing Timesplitter's 2 again via backwards compatibility. That along with some Quake and Forza Horizon 5 has me all set for a while Xbox wise.

Re: Talking Point: What Have You Bought In The Xbox Black Friday Sale 2021?

Nascar Heat 4 for £5.02 on Xbox. I might be English but I seriously enjoy Nascar so that's a great bargin for me.. I've also just managed to obtain a PS3 Super Slim for just £20, so have picked up a few of the must have games from Ebay (Motorstorm ,Wipeout Fury, Sly Cooper Collection, Uncharted 1,2 &3, Resistance, Ratchet and Clank, Killzone 2 & 3 and The Last of Us) Although that's nothing to do with Black Friday..

Re: The Dreamcast's Legacy Lives On With Xbox, Says Former SEGA America President

Always remember when I picked up my Dreamcast, that was a great day. Got it mid 2001 when the writing was already on the wall for the system. I purchased Sonic Adventure, Crazy Taxi, House of the Dead 2 and Soul Calibur with it. I was utterly amazed with it, and couldn't fathom that the system was on the way out. I made the most of it and quickly built up a library of 30+ games. I've slowly added to it over the years to have 67 games for it now, I still plan to pick up a few more.
A console I will never sell!!

Re: Here Are Your Xbox Games With Gold For October 2021

BANJO

That's a great month for me.. All 4 games are well worth downloading. Hover looks very like Jet Set Radio, not a bad thing, and Aaero interests me from the trailer..
Both Castlevania and Resident Evil Code: Veronica X are solid staple games...
Impressive month!!

Re: Xbox Claiming It 'Fights For Game Preservation' Is Met With Backlash

BANJO

I like my physical games but even many of these will be useless once the servers go down so they are no better than digital....
The disc's will often be useless in years to come..
Then there is day one patches just to make the game playable, once the server goes down and you buy the physical game down second hand for example the patch won't be available to make the game playable...
The future of game preservation is not looking good.
