I supported Sandrock in Early Access on Steam but was severely disappointed when they unified their rendering pipeline, resulting in a downgrade of the PC version. It was so pretty before. In any case, I look forward to seeing how Evershine develops.
I had been waiting for TDU: Solar Crown for years but the game appears unready for primetime, so I'm going to get the Dead Rising remaster. Looking forward to it!
Haha. This incident is one thing and I get that people like their fantasies but the worst is when people go around saying stuff like "put so and so on THIS and them on THAT." Maybe the developers don't want to make that stuff.
I have it on 360 so I don't really care to spend all that money on the remaster if it's only okay anyway. Maybe once it's a lot cheaper as I do appreciate bumps in performance and resolution.
That YouTuber and the community that made noise about this for months really made a difference. They may not have been able to change any laws, but they must have had an influence on the behavior of the company itself. Now I feel much more comfortable about owning these games!
I hope they get a chance to improve the game because it looks like it has potential. I've been waiting years for this game but I will wait longer if it means a much superior experience. Let's hope the servers stay up that long.
While I think the game has some major problems, I really enjoyed it and plan to go back to it to play Shattered Space and use the new vehicle. It's all paid for since launch.
I've been waiting for this since Hasbro mentioned their interest in bringing these games back! After Activision clarified that they had the code, I knew it was only a matter of time!
I just realized that this game scored extremely close to Jedi: Fallen Order. That one is well-regarded. Hopefully as the dust settles on Outlaws it will be thought well of.
Because of misleading marketing and unrealistic expectations of static/aging hardware, people will continue to complain about this. I mean, Microsoft misled people. Have you seen Mad Men? They lie! I'm not disappointed because I knew better, but for those that didn't, now you do.
I guess you can argue for performance over graphics but then there will be a huge contingent that will complain about graphics not getting better. Damned if you do, damned if you don't. I wish realistic expectations were set for the beginning of this generation, but oh well.
It doesn't make any sense. I'm gonna wait for an update from Microsoft before I buy the remaining games I want. If they don't say or do anything about this then I'll just get Riddick and Crash Wrath of Cortex and call it there.
Ohhh no! I've already bought too much lol. Actually, if it turns out well, I'll have to get College Football 2025. We haven't had one from EA in 11 years and impressions so far are promising. We'll see.
I have it on my shelf. It's the greatest football game ever made. And you know what? It was only $20. EA just couldn't have that. We need greater competition in sports gaming.
I'd give them a C so far and say that the best thing has probably been FPS Boost and the continued support of backwards compatibility.
But I believe they're bound for a B or better through the rest of this generation due to all the big games they've got coming. They all have serious potential.
It's the one thing I wanted from the showcase that I didn't get. Well, that and Everwild. Anyway, I think it's easy money for everyone involved and the fans surely want it. I know I really want to play War For Cybertron and Fall of Cybertron on my Series X!
Although Elden Ring had a huge hype cycle (quite fairly) as well and sold many copies in part because of it, I have to wonder how many bounced off of it versus Witcher 3, which is a more accessible game. I don't know, I bounced off of both of them. I'd like to take on Witcher 3 and complete it and its DLC and then maybe retry Elden Ring.
Starfield is a good game but it can certainly use more features and content. I look forward to Shattered Space and that rover they're adding, whenever that is added!
I started Cocoon today and I'm about halfway through. It's a beautiful game with a great ethereal soundtrack and some fun brain teasers! I'm not generally into puzzle games, but I like this one.
Oh my goodness, maybe they were trolling? At the end she says that no one will stand in her way, then they are in the forest and someone literally stands in their way. Seems like that's YOU.
I think the game looks very good. There's still more I want to see, including the character creator and exploration. Though it's not an open world game, which is fine by me.
I really hope it's true that Fable will be at the showcase. I want to see a few minutes of gameplay. Yeah, we know what the game looks like, and it looks great. I just want to see it in action proper.
Wow! So glad to see Yooka Laylee get the remaster treatment. There were things about that game that people didn't like and this is a chance at fixing at least some of that.
As long as I can play the game alone, I'm fine with any online features. I hope it is what I think it is and it's basically Viva Pinata with exploration lol.
My wildcard is KOTOR Remake getting some kind of trailer at the showcase. I'm being a bit "out there" on purpose!
And thank you for sharing a photo of Banjo Nuts & Bolts, one of my favorite games! I know we're not getting a sequel to that, but this did bring back nice memories. I'd be very happy with a platformer. Just get the fur shading right, devs! After Rare's work, I'm spoiled with the fur effects.
I'd love to see KOTOR Remake re-emerge at the Xbox showcase. I have no reason to believe that it will, but it sure would be cool! And of course things like Banjo, Fable, and hopefully a further-improved Avowed!

Re: Review: Star Wars Outlaws (Xbox) - Robust Stealth & Immaculate Vibes Make For A Super Star War
I subscribed to Ubisoft+ so I could play this one. The reviews are in the range of what I thought. A good game!

Re: When Will The Xbox Summer Sale 2024 Be Revealed?
I'm hoping Forza Horizon 4 goes on 80% off as it did on Steam. That would be $16 in Canada.

It looks like it could be fun. I will check it out on release.
Re: Forza Motorsport Gets Big Visual Upgrade On Xbox In Update 9
It looks a lot better. Much more vibrant and clear.
Re: Talking Point: What's Been The High Point Of The Xbox Series X|S Generation So Far?
I'd give them a C so far and say that the best thing has probably been FPS Boost and the continued support of backwards compatibility.
But I believe they're bound for a B or better through the rest of this generation due to all the big games they've got coming. They all have serious potential.

Re: BioWare Explains Why It Changed The Name Of Dragon Age: The Veilguard
I think the name change makes sense. Things do change during development, sometimes drastically. Similar to rescoping, that's normal.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (June 22-23)
That monster looks like Chris Hemsworth.
Re: The Witcher 3 Dev Concedes 'Best-Rated RPG DLC', Congratulates FromSoftware In The Process
Although Elden Ring had a huge hype cycle (quite fairly) as well and sold many copies in part because of it, I have to wonder how many bounced off of it versus Witcher 3, which is a more accessible game. I don't know, I bounced off of both of them. I'd like to take on Witcher 3 and complete it and its DLC and then maybe retry Elden Ring.

Re: Xbox 360 Sales Continue As Microsoft Discounts Another Batch Of Games

We've waited a while for this one. Looks pretty good!

Re: Xbox Apparently Could Have Shown Much More At This Year's Showcase
@Nic-Noc20th-C Can't forget Brute Force 2 and an Azurik prequel!
Re: Star Wars Outlaws Game Length Revealed Ahead Of August Xbox Launch
It seems to be right in the middle in terms of open world game length and I'm all for it. I think this one is going to delight fans.
Re: Preview: Dragon Age: The Veilguard Is A Confident Return for BioWare
Quite the comment section!
I think the game looks very good. There's still more I want to see, including the character creator and exploration. Though it's not an open world game, which is fine by me.

I buy a lot of "indie" and smaller games, but I hope these unknowns are AAAs. That's usually most exciting to me.
Re: Rare's Everwild Is Still In Development, But Will It Show Up At The Xbox Showcase?

Re: Our Predictions For The 2024 Xbox Games Showcase
My wildcard is KOTOR Remake getting some kind of trailer at the showcase. I'm being a bit "out there" on purpose!
And thank you for sharing a photo of Banjo Nuts & Bolts, one of my favorite games! I know we're not getting a sequel to that, but this did bring back nice memories. I'd be very happy with a platformer. Just get the fur shading right, devs! After Rare's work, I'm spoiled with the fur effects.
Re: Xbox Games Showcase 2024: Date, Start Times, Rumours, Leaks & More
I'd love to see KOTOR Remake re-emerge at the Xbox showcase. I have no reason to believe that it will, but it sure would be cool! And of course things like Banjo, Fable, and hopefully a further-improved Avowed!
Re: Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown Preview Showcases Brand-New Extended Gameplay
The graphics aren't great (at least in this build) but if the gameplay is similar to TDU1 and 2 then I think it could really do well.
