Interested to see what changes this makes to EA as the years fly by, but I don't think we will see any massive differences in the immediate short-term.
Good to know. This should give the series a much needed boost in addition to SH2. Let's hope that it continues to bring new games in the franchise as time goes on.
@jesse_dylan Yeah pricing has always annoyed me for digital games. Same as returns. It's such a bonkers system that needs better regulating. Thanks for the lowdown though bud, I'll download it and give it a smash after E33.
@Markatron84 Lmao! I've given up waiting on that. May as well beg for a quick remaster before expecting that game to find its launch - just like Beyond Good and Evil.
If it hits GP I'll definitely give it a spin. That said, the PoP trilogy is the best there ever was. I hope they remaster the collection at some point.
With a 7 in the title... of course this is going to be an issue at some point. I personally think they need to step away from Black Ops now and start a fresh sub-IP. Blops 1 worked so well because it went back in time, which is a setting that's universally loved in games like this - same as WaW.
@wildcat_kickz Haha, better late than never! Thanks man. I assumed that that would be the case. Can you imagine spending hundreds of hours in the game and accidentally loading up a mod... O_o
I'd rather they released for the PS5 as close to launch as possible. This is the perfect game for cross plat release and given how popular FH5 was on PS, FH6 will no doubt smash records.
This may be the first FH game I play in a long while. The setting is going to be amazing, and the gameplay (if they strike a solid balance between modern Japan and cultural Japan) will be sublime. Certainly hope the release date for PS5 isn't too far post launch though.
I agree, the reveal is ridiculously weak, but it's nice to see it getting announced all the same. This could easily be the best FH in a long while if they balance the setting correctly.
@Fiendish-Beaver Thanks man. I'll take a look and see if they have digital copies that are lower than the cost of the Xbox Store copies. I'll get it either way as I loved the OG SH games, but that is a pretty high price for ten hours of play. I mean, FF7R is only $40 and I believe that comes with a copy of FF7 OG.
@Decimateh Based on what I've read, you'd only need a long afternoon off to play it through haha :/
@DonnieTACO I think there was a decent amount of interest about it after its initial reveal but everything seemed to go south after the first gameplay reveal.
@EdgarTheBug Well now that we're getting a Buffy soft reboot series, I'm hoping someone like Aspyr or Nightdive get ahead of the demand and remaster Buffy and Buffy Chaos Bleeds.
What a reveal. This (as I said in the other thread) has me pretty excited for a Kojima game. I can absolutely see the PT vibes. I reckon this will be multiplat day one (I certainly hope it is, at least).
I'll be picking this up. My only issue with the game is that the run time seems quite short. I don't mind ten hour games, but ten hours is a short time to get too invested in the cast and the plot :/ SH2 was closer to 20 hours...
@FraserG Oh man! You're in for a treat if you play Moonlighter. It's essentially Discounty - only you get your goods (for the store) from treasures you find in dungeons. It's super addictive. I already picked up Discounty and hope to get some time on it this week!

Re: Four New Games Added To Xbox Retro Classics In September 2025
Never even heard of these. Truth be told I don't really utilize the retro feature as much as I thought I would.
Re: Report: AAA The Lord Of The Rings Game In Development With Third-Person Gameplay
I'm willing to give it the benefit of the doubt. Hopefully it pans out a hell of a lot better than Gollum lol.

Farmbotic and The Relic look right up my street.

Re: Xbox Game Pass Adds First-Party Game To 'Leaving Soon' Section, But Don't Panic
These games don't really interest me to be fair. I just don't have the mental capacity to suss out all the systems lol.
Re: Silent Hill F Hits Impressive Sales Milestone Just One Day After Multiplatform Release
Good to know. This should give the series a much needed boost in addition to SH2. Let's hope that it continues to bring new games in the franchise as time goes on.
Re: Xbox Game Pass: All Games Coming Soon In October 2025
@Decimateh Me too lol! I just hope it's not in preview for too long. Slime Rancher 2 spent forever in there.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (September 27-28)
@BattleMonkey Thanks brother!

Re: Xbox Fan Gets Physical Refund From Bethesda Over Cancelled Redfall DLC
@EdgarTheBug Lmao! Man, what a classic. I'm gunna have to watch the trilogy again now. We can safely forget about the fourth movie... O-o

Re: Talking Point: So, Did You End Up Pre-Ordering The ROG Xbox Ally?
Too expensive for my blood, but, it clearly seems to be selling well.
Re: Xbox Game Pass: All Games Coming Soon In October 2025
Very solid month, and we haven't even had the full reveal yet.
Re: These 20+ Games Are Coming To Xbox Next Week (September 29 - October 3)
Alien has me intrigued, but I'll wait for other players to leave feedback before I jump the gun.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (September 27-28)
Finally finished E33 so just got post-game content to work through.
Re: FF7 Remake Director Talks Developing For Xbox Series S, Praises The 'Solid' Hardware
Day one for me. Loved the OG version.
Re: Ubisoft Might Be Bringing Prince Of Persia To Xbox Game Pass Soon

Re: Call Of Duty Dev Admits 'Worry' About Franchise Fatigue With Black Ops 7

Re: Forza Horizon 6's Map The 'Biggest Yet' As Dev Confirms Tokyo City Location
Genuinely excited for this, but I hope they get some stunning country in there too - not just neon and lights.
Re: The ROG Xbox Ally Is Rapidly Selling Out At Retailers Around The World
Glad at the very least, that it's at least meeting their initial demands. I assume this will put the 2027 model back on the drawing board
Re: Xbox Fan Gets Physical Refund From Bethesda Over Cancelled Redfall DLC
@EdgarTheBug You're more than welcome. I have to say though, all I hear in my head when I see your profile pic is "more sugar" lol.
Re: The Witcher 3 Is Getting Mod Support On Xbox, But It's Been Delayed To 2026

Re: Two Games Are Available Today With Xbox Game Pass (September 25)
@DonnieTACO I've heard that too. Someone told me that it's a good RPG, but not the best Mana game.
Re: Capcom Is Bringing The First Two Monster Hunter Stories Games To Xbox In 2025
@jesse_dylan When you say the gameplay is different, do you mean the core loop of killing monsters > getting loot > killing bigger monsters? Etc...
Re: Aniimo's Latest Xbox Trailer Has An Everwild-Meets-Pokémon Vibe
@Lup Lmao!!! THAT, is absolutely magical!
Re: Xbox Fan Gets Physical Refund From Bethesda Over Cancelled Redfall DLC
@Nintendo4Sonic Me and you both. Hunter the Reckoning, Nightmare Creatures, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and more.
As for Redfall, it's well worth a try to see if you enjoy it. It's not as bad as people make out IMO.
Re: Review: Silent Hill F (Xbox) - A New Front For Konami As Silent Hill Makes Its Return
@Decimateh Yeah the be fair that's true.
Re: Xbox Fan Gets Physical Refund From Bethesda Over Cancelled Redfall DLC
@EdgarTheBug I agree. So long as one of them do it, I'll be happy. Those were really good, fun games. Especially for fans of the IP.
Re: Two Games Are Available Today With Xbox Game Pass (September 25)
I'll be downloading Visions. I hear though, of the two Mana games that came to Xbox last year, that Visions is the weaker one...
Re: Aniimo's Latest Xbox Trailer Has An Everwild-Meets-Pokémon Vibe
I bet Nintendo will be watching this one very closely lol.
Re: Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge Of The Seven Is Shadow Dropping Today On Xbox Series X|S
The price is great for what you're getting. I loved the OG version and if this manages to live up to that, there's a lot to unpack and enjoy.
Re: Xbox Confirms Forza Horizon 6 Will Come To PS5, But Not On Launch
I'd rather they released for the PS5 as close to launch as possible. This is the perfect game for cross plat release and given how popular FH5 was on PS, FH6 will no doubt smash records.
Re: Capcom Is Bringing The First Two Monster Hunter Stories Games To Xbox In 2025
Are these any good (I only played World and Rise)?
Re: Forza Horizon 6 Devs Discuss Why Japan Was 'Right Fit' & When To Expect Gameplay
This may be the first FH game I play in a long while. The setting is going to be amazing, and the gameplay (if they strike a solid balance between modern Japan and cultural Japan) will be sublime. Certainly hope the release date for PS5 isn't too far post launch though.
Re: Roundup: All The Reveals From The Xbox Showcase At Tokyo Game Show 2025
Lot's a neat reveals and showcases here but Fatal Frame steals the show for me. That's gunna be one hell of a solid game.
Re: Forza Horizon 6 Heads To Japan In 2026, Day One On Xbox Game Pass
I agree, the reveal is ridiculously weak, but it's nice to see it getting announced all the same. This could easily be the best FH in a long while if they balance the setting correctly.
Re: Poll: How Would You Grade Xbox's Tokyo Game Show 2025 Event?
I'd go a solid C/B. It wasn't earth shattering but it was decent enough.
Re: Free Play Days: Try These Xbox Games For Free (September 25-28)
None of these really do it for me this time round.
Re: Deus Ex Remastered Is Making Its Way To Xbox In February 2026
I hope Aspyr go back and remaster Headhunter. That, was one hell of a great game IMO.
Re: Roundup: All The Xbox Reveals From September 2025's State Of Play
Halloween looks pretty cool, but I hope it leans more towards F13 than Texas.

Re: Hideo Kojima Shows Off Xbox Game OD, And It Looks Insane
What a reveal. This (as I said in the other thread) has me pretty excited for a Kojima game. I can absolutely see the PT vibes. I reckon this will be multiplat day one (I certainly hope it is, at least).
Re: Microsoft Store Tells Xbox Fans To 'Check Your Chat' For Free Money
I doubt I get anything lol, I never do with these.
Re: Xbox Leadership Looks Genuinely Thrilled To Be Working With Kojima Productions On OD
I'm not usually into his stuff, but this may well be the first game that I try out of his, in a long long while.
Re: Xbox Fan Gets Physical Refund From Bethesda Over Cancelled Redfall DLC
Redfall had such potential. That said, I sure hope Buffy (yes, I know I've said this a million times lol) gets a remaster of the first two games.
Re: Deals: Xbox's Tokyo Game Show Sale Is Now Live, 400+ Games Discounted This Week
Suicide Squad has another generous discount.
Re: Review: Silent Hill F (Xbox) - A New Front For Konami As Silent Hill Makes Its Return

Either way, I'll definitely grab it.
