Honestly, what's the track record of Jeff Grubb? Using words like "probably" and "I'm thinking X" is more indicative of opinion, not fact.

Long, long, long, long overdue. Bring it over so we can see it sell very well, making Activision look like braindead morons for ignoring Switch for so long.
Expensive shipping, 6+ months wait times, manufactured scarcity, exclusive partners with Wayforward, and now bowing down to Konami, Bethesda, Ubisoft, Deep Silver, etc... LRG is truly terrible.
@UltimateOtaku91 Um, Nintendo doesn't ship non-functional, incomplete 1st party games that require a download to start. ๐ Unless by "Nintendo" you meant third party releases like LA Noire and GTA.
Enjoy Timesplitters, everyone! I still have my old GameCube discs but will get both digitally now that they've been patched. And we still have a new, official sequel to look forward to down the road! ๐
@Jsb5150 Haha, that's always the way. ๐ I haven't played the new BWC versions, so I can't say if it's actually worse, but TS2 always had aiming sensitivity trouble. ๐ค
M$ does deserve a lot of credit for their BWC efforts ever since they did the whole 180 damage control manoeuvre before Xbone came out. Old games really do deserve preservation.
Nintendo used to be the kings of BWC up through the Wii U. The loss of VC on Switch, and being unable to use Wii U discs with Switch really pains me. ๐ข
@jrt87 Timesplitters 2 always had an overly sensitive crosshair. It's not a "generational" thing. They fixed that problem with Future Perfect. Honestly, 2 is great but Future Perfect is the much better game. Why these writers always overlook #3 is whack. ๐คฆโโ๏ธ
@InterceptorAlpha ๐ณ I played all 3 maxed out on Steam. Lol, remastered is much more than a "lighting update". The new re-texturing is a night and day difference.
@themightyant Sorry, I wasn't trying to imply everyone was terrible. Certainly not the case. However when articles like these get posted, one side gets game x where the other doesn't, it often devolves into a cesspool of tribalism and ignorance. I strongly dislike it, but I understand it, cause I was that way in my teens, and I can't believe how dumb I was back then to hate an entire platform and miss all of its positive offerings.
@themightyant Agreed. All these fan sites are toxic. Sony's show was really good. Xbox has some excellent releases this year. Metroid Dread is coming in a month. Good times all round. ๐
That's actually awesome to just include 2 discs. Like how 4K bluray movies include a regular BR disc as well. I'd wish Capcom had done this with RE Village. ๐ข
I grabbed Daytona USA recently. Sega Saturn classic Guardian Heroes is 50% off now too. Seeing all these XBLA retro classics still available in 2021 and BWC makes me so happy. โบ๏ธโค๏ธ
Saints Row 3 was over the top goofy. This Reboot still looks like it'll be goofy to some degree, and unlike many, I won't pretend I've mastered the game based on a couple minutes of footage while spewing dumb, modern buzz words.

@RevGaming
๐ค Use the traditional pro controller then? It's virtually identical to a PS/XB ๐ฎ.
Re: PlayStation Is Going Down The Xbox Game Pass Route With Shadow Warrior 3
@RevGaming By that logic, PS and Switch are also consoles, and would be of comparable similarity. Better to have the option than not.

"It's unnecessary".
"This will ruin gaming".
This psychology is so bizarre.
Re: PlayStation Is Going Down The Xbox Game Pass Route With Shadow Warrior 3
Sony fanboys: GamePass sucks! Terrible business model! It's all fodder!
Also Sony fanboys: Wow! For one low monthly subscription fee, I can play a slew of new and classic titles together?! Awesome! Sony rocks!
