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.
@Son_of_Hades Looking back, I too wish I'd picked up my multiplatform titles on 360 instead, cause most of them are BWC, unlike their PS3 counterparts. π
There was no reason or need to kill off the 360 games. Gamers should smarten up and stop demanding less for what they pay for from these multibillion dollar firms that, at the end of the day, are not your friend.
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.
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. π€
Awww, cry us a river, Ryan. He's a terrible, out of touch CEO that should've been fired ages ago. Focus on improving the problems within Sony first and foremost, with software and studios.
@BBB if you didn't play it back in the day then of course you wouldn't have the same experience and memories as someone like me who did. Like, duh... π€·ββοΈ However, nothing would stop you from trying the re-release, if it ever does come out. Or you can do what I did and download the ROM of the leaked XBLA version. I did in early 2021 and had an absolutely fantastic time with it yet again.
GoldenEye is a masterclass in how to adapt a film to a game faithfully, while taking just enough liberties so as to flesh out the adventure a bit more.
It's also excels in its mission design, adding additional objectives to higher difficulty levels encouraging multiple playthroughs, plus allowing for most levels to be approached in multiple ways. Not to mention the challenge of unlocking all the level cheats as a bonus. It's a masterpiece, and blows away any crappy COD or most other modern FPS titles as a whole package. Look at Activision's 007 Legends or Quantum of Solace by comparison. They're terrible, and the GoldenEye reimagining is just "Call of Bond". π«
@Grail_Quest How about just keep discussions/critiques/reviews on point and don't devolve into irrelevant, personal attacks? A crazy concept for some, I know. π
Awww damn, I thought this was an official MS effort. Still sounds cool though. Also, how could they not have Timesplitters 2/3 as an initially supported title? π
@Banjo- Yeah from what I've seen, the game benefits from the series X performance in general. I'm generally not super hardcore nit-picky about missing visual effects. Me too! Shattered Memories was my first SH game, and I freaking loved it.
@skaarj217 I grabbed SH: Homecoming while it's on sale! π
This is just corporate garbage speech for saying "we don't want to give away free 360 games anymore, so hurry up and get GamePass". There's no convincing reason to end this service.
@Banjo- Wow, I remembered incorrectly. The 360 patch was cancelled. π€¦ββοΈπ’ But I did watch some footage of the game played on a Series X, and at least in terms of performance, it looked alright to me.
@Banjo- @Dusk_Actual Konami did "patch" it, though. It just still doesn't visually resemble the original release, as was the main complaint from players. There's videos on YT comparing it with and without the patch. Also, it helps to play on Series X/S over the PS3 version.
