Re: Konami Is Open To More 'Silent Hill' Pitches After Announcing PS5-Exclusive Remake

EVIL-C

@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)

Re: Could We See GoldenEye 007 On Xbox Game Pass This Month?

@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.

Re: Need For Speed Unbound Brings Stylized Street Racing To Xbox This December

"Express Yourself to the Full Extent of Your Abilities – Go to meet-ups and show off your style with a host of items from the world’s latest fashions, including exclusive gear. "

WTF does this have to do with racing?! I love the visuals, but it's the same damn Urban Street racer/homies/hip-hop infused crap that's never appealed to me.

Re: Saints Row's Future Is Under Evaluation Following 2022 Reboot

Going for the whole Fortnite vibe/aesthetic really hurt it. The game has a massive identity crisis going on, not knowing what it wants to be or who its' target audience is. They saw the backlash during the reveal, and they basically said "lawl f you guys, we're not backing down". Kinda like when EA told you "If you don't like BF5, don't buy it". And many listened.

Im only gonna get it when it's like $10-20 at most.

And as an aside, If you're really feeling jaded like me, check out some indies or some smaller budget/less prominent games, like Stray, Axiom Verge, A Plague Tale, etc.. I've been having way more fun recently with this type of stuff.

Re: Reaction: GoldenEye Is Finally Coming To Xbox, But It's A Rare Whiffed Shot For 007

EVIL-C

Where did it say the Switch version lacked local multiplayer? I haven't read that anywhere.

I'm very disappointed that it's relegated to essentially a rental-only option (on NSO) , you cant buy it. It's the same issue I have with stuff on GP; at least it's assumed one can buy the Xbox port, or at least buy it via Rare Replay. They really have left a lot of details unclear here for both ports. 🤔
