@thefly0810 not only that but the price difference between store fronts. Shovel knight is $20 more on xbox in my region than the playstation store. Also, some games like the Metal Slug aca games and Binding of Isaac are not available here but are on the same region store on switch and playstation. Starting to feel like I should have got a ps5 instead.
@NostromoXP I'm hoping it works with Indiana Jones. I couldn't play RE7 for some reason, I couldn't land hits, maybe depth perception problem. Although I finished RE8 without trouble.
Meh, I can understand people would like it but I just flicked through it and everything I liked had already been announced (Indiana Jones, fable). Just really want something unexpected like Banjo.
About to give up on ffvii and just buy it on ps4. As always, hoping for Banjo but if it happened it probably wouldn't be something that I want (like nuts and bolts). I had completely forgotten about fable, now I'm more keen for the show.
I already own all the Activision stuff I would want like crash, spyro, thps. Would have bought sekiro if it was on there. I really hope ms don't just push cod and nothing else with this deal.
@devil76 I'm surprised it was added, I think some modern audiences wouldn't be happy with some of the stereotypes in it. The gameplay is just really fun.
I'm hoping Disney starts porting their old games. It's a good sign when stuff like ps1 Star Wars Phantom Menace shows up even though it's not the best game. It would be nice to see some of xbox stuff like Punisher, Xmen Legends, Nightmare before Christmas, Obiwan, Marvel Vs Capcom 2, the list could go on and on.
I appreciate stuff like Blue Dragon being backwards compatible but would have loved other games like Ninety Nine Nights being playable on current gen systems. I know the argument that physical discs are an option but there's a lot of stuff that needs updates to function unlike say ps2 games and earlier. Also physical doesn't mean much to me, I went to trade in a bunch of 360 games last year and was told they wouldn't accept them as they all had disc rot, something I didn't even know existed and I kept those games in good condition.
That star wars day sale image annoys me. I saw it pop up on the store and thought "awesome, the force unleashed ultimate sith edition image is there, the dlc will finally be on sale" NOPE never is on sale, never will be.
I don't know if anyone else has already commented about it but I found an article elsewhere about this where Phil says the handheld is for gen z because they are used to having everything on the go with their phone. Don't count on this being any good.
The less barriers around home consoles the better? I know he might have not had much of a say in it but retail emulators were great until they got shut down. Also more bc would be nice.
@ChopperCampbell man that sucks, I didn't even try any space battles. I'll just play against bots on the bc version if I want to enjoy it. The online game I played had so much slingshotting I don't think I made a kill or even shot someone from the other team I think. It all just felt weird playing it and I compared it to the bc version of bf2 and something is off. Turning characters is really slow, aim assist on as default. I know it's not an issue for everyone but it's bizarre to get an achievement and then you go to the list and it says the game doesn't support achievements.
Got around to trying the online multiplayer and quit and requested a refund after one match, wow it was bad. Thanks for processing it so quickly. Should have bought dark forces instead I think.
@UndyingInsurgent95 I get that ea battlefront 2 is really good but I think the original releases were good, these are just pretty bad ports. I didn't know aspyr was doing these otherwise I wouldn't have bought it, still annoyed about the switch Kotor 2 undelivered dlc.
I don't know what the term is but there was some sort of audio cracking when a lot of stuff was going on screen that doesnt happen on bc version. The achievements would pop at launch but console said achievements weren't supported at launch, haven't checked back since. I haven't checked the online multiplayer yet. Its good but should have waited for a sale. Wish they'd make a third game in this style with the tv series stuff in it.
Achievements giving people a reason to fully complete a game or even buy/play games they usually wouldn't. Games like soul calibur 4, 99 nights, simpsons game were great, would be nice to see them in bc.
Thank you for the australian price change! Saving for Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth with the dlc. It's $180 AUD and I can't justify spending that much even though it's my favourite series.
@shoeses sure is weird. If I ran a big gaming company I'd be putting everything in the back catalogue up for purchase. One of the more positive things to see is disney putting up ps1 games on ps4/ps5. Games I thought I'd never see again like phantom menace.
@PhileasFragg thanks for explaining it. That e3 show they put up was painful seeing all these great games come back like Tomba but I think the only xbox one they confirmed was gex, maybe clocktower too.
Am I missing something? Limited run games publish stuff physical and digital but xbox doesn't sell enough physical for them to make money back but refuse to do an easy port job for digital? I don't understand how this is an issue to just do digital.

Re: Phil Spencer Would Like To See Other Digital Storefronts Appear On Xbox
@Gollum have fun! They had some amazing emulators on there. I can't be stuffed doing the dev mode installation either any more.

Re: Spec Ops: The Line Has Been Removed From Xbox's Storefront
@Scummbuddy it's just weird they have so many old star wars games on there still. You're probably right though.
