Looking forward to this. Really enjoyed replaying the first trilogy.

Looking forward to the direct. Excited to see what they have in store for the three titles and curious what the “surprise” title is.

@Bionic-Spencer I played the last day but I wasn’t there at the end. I had to work the next day otherwise I would have been up playing till the servers shut off. I’m not a big fan of online games but there was just something different with this one. It would pull me in and the community that played was great too. Played games with some really fun people. So heart broken at the moment. I knew it was coming but it is what it is.

I played this game on day one and I played on its final day. Yes, it was buggy. Yes, it had issues, but I had a blast playing it! So many fond memories playing this game. It wasn’t for everybody but I am so sad to see it go. It’s the same feeling when a loved one dies which is stupid because it’s just a game, but it’s how I’m feeling. Farewell F13. How I miss you already. 🥺

I think we’ll see something this year. I don’t think it’ll come out this year, but I think we’ll see a trailer on it sometime this year. Not sure about this month though. I’m going to guess no on that.

I played Friday the 13th this weekend. I know it’s a buggy game, but it’s the last weekend before the online servers are shut down for good. I have great memories playing that game. I’m going to miss it very much! 🥺

Very nice to see. Xbox needed this. Hopefully this gives people more confidence in the Xbox brand and congratulations to MachineGames, they did a great job on this game. Well deserved, even if it is just a week of sales.

I’m intrigued by this game. It’s a big mystery and I just want to know more. Last I heard, they were thinking of going more in a route of Viva Piñata. Curious what they finally came up with.

I am still early on in the game. Haven’t had much time to play it. Overall I prefer 3rd person, but so far I’m loving this game. I’m not bothered it’s in 1st person. If I had the option, I probably would have chosen 3rd person, but I think some of the actions I had to do might not have translated as well in a 3rd person view.

Came home from work and got a chance to play it. So far I’m loving it. The game is beautiful! So much detail went into this game. The voice acting is done very well. The atmosphere is on point. The story so far is great. Im very happy with the game. Im not rushing this one. Looking forward to playing some more tomorrow after work.

So excited! I’ll be getting this for sure!

I loved the first two games back in the day. I played a little of the third. It was okay, though I would like to see it on Xbox. Maybe I’ll get through it this time.

Their games weren’t terrible. I could appreciate what they were trying to do. They are a young team with some good ideas. I think they nail the atmosphere really well. Where they lack is usually the story and combat. I see potential in this team. They tend to crank out games faster than a lot of other companies, if they take a little more time with some of these games to focus on combat and get a good story, they could have some pretty good games.

The original SH2 was a PlayStation 2 exclusive back in the day and then later ported with the “Restless Dreams” extra on Xbox. I wonder if/when this remake of SH2 gets ported to Xbox, if it’ll feature another extra like Restless Dreams.

I would agree with many things said in this article. I don’t think a pro system was needed this gen and this is not about bashing Sony. I’m too grown to be playing in the system wars. These are just my opinions. Visually there’s not much of a difference between the PS5 and the PS5 pro. It was different last gen after the consoles came out, many people were picking up 4K TVs. They wanted to see that higher resolution. There’s also not many games taking advantage of the pro system and then the 700 dollar price tag on top of that. The one thing I hope all console manufacturers get out of this is we don’t want to pay 700 for a console. Maybe it’ll deter them in the future from pricing a system that high.

I quite enjoy the game. There’s a new update coming with a new mode this week. Instead of the 3 killers vs 4 victims, it’s going to be 1 killer vs 6 victims. From the trailer and description of it, sounds like it will be similar to Friday the 13th. I’m looking forward to it.

Not a glowing review but I’m looking forward to this very much. I know it’s not for everybody but I’m glad to hear the timer is still in there. Makes it more of a challenge. Yes, I would like players to have the option to turn it off, but maybe something like that can be updated in time. I loved the original and I’m excited to play this one.

The one thing I’m curious that wasn’t mentioned in the review was the voice acting. I loved the voice actor from the original, I would have liked to of known what they thought of this one.

I had a feeling something negative was going to happen in Xbox land. It seems anytime PlayStation gets some bad press like with the price of their new Pro system, Xbox comes out and steps right in it. All they had to do was lay low…

Though it is a lot of money, I think it will still sell. No where near as much as the PS5 and I know there’s plenty of stock now, but back when people were trying to get their hands on a PS5, they were buying them for more than the Pro price. I personally won’t be buying one, but it’s going to sell.

I love Double Fine and I love Banjo and Conker. I get why people think they should make a game in the series but I’m glad to hear Double Fine is going to make what they want to make. They are so creative. Looking forward to see their future projects.

I will not be picking one up. I can’t justify that price at all and no disk drive or stand? No thanks.

Interesting. Looking forward to see what they come up with on this franchise. Also curious what’s going on with the rumored Friday the 13th game in development. Love horror games and seeing some of the classic slashers come back is exciting.

I think the game will return to gamepass. It has helped the game in terms of player count and giving players the opportunity to experience it. I’m not a fan of multiplayer games, but this is one I actually like. I’ll be okay because I own the game, and looking forward to the update coming soon. I hope the return to gamepass isn’t long and I wouldn’t mind if it came to PlayStations subscription service as well. The more players the better.

I’m very excited for this game. Love the movies and I think this game will fit in nicely with his adventures. Looking forward to playing this one.

I’m so glad to see so many reports lately on Dead Rising. I already own these games so I won’t be helping them stay at the top of the charts, but seeing people excited for the remaster gives me hope for the series future.

No surprise it’s not coming to Xbox. It will sell better on Switch than Xbox unfortunately. Would have liked to seen it announced for all platforms but it is what it is.

I love the series and always thought Terence Rotolo did a great job as Frank West. I would have liked to of seen him return but I’ll give this new guy a chance. From what we heard, I thought he did a decent job.

I’ve been hopeful for a Dead Rising 5 for some time now. Super excited for the remaster. In terms of 5, I hope they bring it back similar to the first 3 games. I had a blast with those. With the role Capcom has been on lately, they can end up with a really amazing game with DR5.

Looking forward to September to get the remaster. I loved the original, will be fun to jump back into this one!

@Ricky-Spanish what did you think of of the other three games? I will have to get back into 4. Maybe I’ll start it over and give it another go. What I wasn’t fond of in 4 from what I remember (and forgive me if I get some of this wrong, it’s been a long time) was it didn’t feel complete. The zombies looked pretty generic. The timer was gone so it was less strategic when saving survivors. I don’t remember having to bring the survivors to a “safe” zone. There weren’t any psychopaths. It just felt flat to me, but I’ll try it again. I’m itching to replay the first game again since seeing the trailer for the remaster so hopefully I can get into the fourth one.

This is tough to pick. I LOVE the first three. If I have to put them in order, I would have to say 2, 1, and then 3, but that order can change on any given day. I also liked Off the Record, Case Zero, and Case West. Nice twist and additions to the story. I wasn’t a huge fan of 4. It felt incomplete and it’s the only game in the series I never completed. Maybe one day I will.

Been busy this past week and then ran across this article. I was hoping for a full on remake of Dead Rising but I’ll take the remaster. I absolutely loved the first three games. They were a blast to play. They can do so much with this series. Glad to see they are giving it a second chance. I loved the original voice actor, we’ll see how well this new actor does but I’m looking forward to this one!

I wasn’t a fan of the state of play and not excited about any of the games there that are coming to Xbox. I’ll be looking forward to what Xbox has in its upcoming show.

Interesting. I’ll be looking forward to seeing what they are cooking up.

I was a SEGA fan and had all their systems. I was crushed when the Dreamcast came to an end. I looked at the other consoles at that time to see which franchises were going to which systems from SEGA. They heavily supported the Xbox and I went with that. I miss those days. Lots of great games.

This is no surprise. Xbox hasn’t been selling well. I’ve been a fan of Xbox since the beginning, but Xbox’s own worst enemy is itself. I’m always hopeful they’ll turn things around and at the beginning of this generation things looked bright. This past year though has me thinking differently about them.

This was the decision that hurt the most for me. Incredibly talented team. So much potential.

I no longer think the heads at Xbox are making these decisions. Not that they themselves are innocent, but I really think it’s those in charge at MS calling these shots. Not even giving some of these studios time to showcase what they can do. It’s really sad. At this point, PlayStation needs to send Xbox a muffin basket as a thank you for distracting from their disaster of a weekend.

Out of all the closures, this one hurt the most. I’m still in surprise over this closure. Not a good move at all.

As an Xbox gamer, I cannot defend this decision. I was excited for their upcoming showcase, but it’s not going to matter how good that is. This decision to close these studios is going to overshadow that showcase for me. There was some serious talent in these studios. They needed to give them sometime and nurture their talents instead of shutting them down. Very sad and upset with Xbox at the moment.

@Kieduss sounds good! I’ll put them back on my list of games to play. Thanks!

@Banjo- I haven’t played Evil Within 2. I started the first one, then ran into family issues and stopped playing. Now I don’t remember much about it. I’ll have to try and restart it at some point.

I wouldn’t mind if it was more “open world” like a Silent Hill setting. Maybe it takes place in a town or a city but there’s still the tight spaces RE was known for.

I wasn’t the biggest fan of 7 or 8 either. 7 was too gory and 8 was too much action. I miss the slow paced horror elements in the older ones. I’ve enjoyed the remakes of 2 and 3. I have yet to play the remake of 4. I know I’ll like it, still upset they skipped over CV to make that one.

I wasn’t expecting RE 9 anytime soon. I’m expecting them to do another remake of some sort (hopefully CV) and then the announcement/release of RE 9. Not sure what to think about it being open world. I don’t know how this would work in RE. The best ones were in tight hallways and rooms to help create tension. Something like that could be done in an open world, but I think it could end up taking away. Either way, I’m looking forward to what they are doing next.

I loved the first game. Beat it quite a few times. I played part 2 and lost interest halfway. I’ll give these remakes a go when then come out though.

I know there’s a lot of love/hate relationship with Phil but I don’t think he’s a bad guy. I think it’s a tougher position than most believe. All the decisions made for Xbox are not always his decisions. He unfortunately ends up being the punching bag for some of those decisions. I do think he means well and I do think at the end of the day he wants what’s best for the brand. Xbox just needs to find where it fits in with this ever changing market.

If this opened the door for something like Steam to have a storefront on Xbox, that would allow players to play PlayStation games on the Xbox. That’s of course a big “IF.”

Not sure how I feel about this. Love the RE games but I don’t think I want it open world, but maybe they are thinking something like Silent Hill where it takes place in a larger city, but the different buildings you have to go into have a bunch of narrow hallways and rooms. Something like that might work, but I’d rather they didn’t make it too large. They’ve been doing so well lately on the RE series.

My guess the “new agreement” game is Spyro. They hinted at it when they announced they were going indie. However, I do wonder if the new game is Banjo. Microsoft has mentioned they were looking for the right studio to create a new Banjo game, so that’s a possibility, but my guess is a new Spyro game.

This is about what I was expecting the score to be. I’ll give it a shot when it comes down in price.

“the deal that was offered at a certain point in time may not have been the deal that was actually signed."

I didn’t follow the story as closely as others because I’m not a CoD fan and I don’t get into the whole fanboy console wars. I had heard Microsoft’s deal with PlayStation was to offer Activision games for the next ten years. That PlayStation wanted Zenimax games included with that? Again I didn’t follow this closely so I could be wrong, but if that was the case, PlayStation ended up with a worse deal with just securing CoD for the next ten years?
