Re: Talking Point: Could You Ever See Microsoft Selling The Xbox Brand?

EVIL-C

Anything can happen, but I don't see Xbox as a device or brand dying off anytime soon. I feel like we've had these discussions before, 20 years ago, just replace "microsoft" with "nintendo". I'm old enough to remember during the GameCube days, endless articles suggesting that Nintendo will likely leave hardware and go software only.

Very interesting to see how times and the discussions have changed, and yet are still the same in other aspects.

Re: Microsoft And Sony Fail To Make Activision Blizzard Agreement At EU Court Hearing

@Green-Bandit OMG, the cross play fiasco. 🤦‍♂️ Granted, from what I recall Microsoft was initially against it, but then came around to it. Nintendo came on board, but then Sony shifted against it after the competition was doing it. I was always for the idea since friends often play on different platforms, but many of Sony's users were equally against it, saying how awful and terrible cross play is/will be. Pure partisanship nonsense. 🤦‍♂️

@UltimateOtaku91 *1997. N64 wasn't out in 95.
Also as others have said, they're keeping the original blue hinge to a small degree, I guess? I get its more "authentic", but the differences in the two ports is annoying to me. Should've been uniform across both.
That said, I'm having a blast with it on Series X, as I did with the leaked remaster on PC 2 years ago. Amazing game.

@Kaloudz In actuality, most of my third party games these days I get for Xbox, cause I like the platform/ecosystem more than Sony in recent years. FF5/Maiden of Black Water was fun, and I really hope the entire series gets remastered. That said, I'd say FF5 was the "worst" title, so for people who maybe started with 5, the older titles are much better. 😃 (not counting 4 as that's new for me)

@FatalBubbles Someone like myself is a massive Bond fan, and the game was and still is excellent. When the leaked XBLA port released 2 years ago, it was even better going through it again with the enhanced textures and controls.
I guess it depends what one means by "better" shooters now. Sure, the underlying technology is better, modern graphics are better, but since spy themed games are so rare, combined with most shooters being online multiplayer-focused now and have awful campaigns, I yern for a resurgence of objective-based shooter campaign design that you could approach in several different ways, like GoldenEye, like Perfect Dark, like Timesplitters, etc... hell even the older Medal of Honor games had great campaigns.

I really just want a high quality, modern spy themed FPS, lol. Hopefully Perfect Dark 202X will fulfil that. (or Agent 64 on Steam when it's finished).

@FatalBubbles An HD re-release to one of the most beloved games of its era, selling over 8 million copies at the time, from when Rare was in their heyday, that influenced an entire generation of shooters and proved their viability on console, and it's not only the best Bond game ever made, but one of the best spy themed games; a genre in desperate need of a comeback. Millions of players have fond memories of playing endless hours of multiplayer with their friends, on top of the game having an absolutely Stellar campaign.

That's just a quick summary of why GoldenEye is so deeply desired for re-release. I'm right there too. It's ridiculous we're still waiting.
