@JayJ I think the only thing that could make me consider a new Xbox console if if it played the whole 360 catalogue, not just Backwards Compatible titles.
@Luminous117 Same. I have a Frame (2020). Cloud gaming could make boosting achievements with myself easier. Won't replace my Series X but could be a rare addition. I don't like to use my laptop to play games.
I use Apple Music over other services so I welcome this, but I doubt I'll use it much due to preferring game audio. Hopefully, it is better than the Samsung Smart TV App, which does not find auto-playlists.
Would love for them to test out Unreal Engine 5 with a few remakes like Red Dead Redemption/Revolver, maybe GTA Liberty City/Vice City Stories.
Honestly, I actually like this era of remasters and remakes. I wish a lot of my old favourites get remastered, anything from the 360/PS3 era downwards. I see a lot of new games as a service, never anything special. Played GTA 3 Remastered recently and I am currently on GTA VC Remastered and I am having so much fun.
Would love to see classics get huge remakes: Oblivion and Morrowind (never played Morrowind) Dark Cloud Hogs of War GTA Liberty City Stories and Vice City Stories True Crime series Classic Yu-Gi-Oh games (loved Forbidden Memories)
@OliverOwen - GTA V showed that going back is OK, when there is a huge gap in the time period for the setting.
IMO, it will be in Vice City. Look at how they can label it:
GTA VI:CE CITY...
There's no way they would leave the US setting, it is key to the game since the 3D Universe. I could see GTA Americas though, with travel between the US, Canada and Mexican cities.
I never got my refund for a Darksiders bundle. When III was announced, it was added to the War & Fury Pack and went on sale, as a pre-order addition. This was added as a mistake, and I purchased it, expecting them to either honour it or refund it when they realised.
When the game was released, the knew they messed up and the Darksiders III should have had the War & Fury pack to that edition. Should have been something like £80, but I paid £30 for III and the remastered additions of I and II, plus all season passes. On release, I did not have access to III.
They refused to refund me, as the contents of the product had changed, plus I waited months for the pre-order to be released. Sent them evidence of the original listing - I paid for a certain product and never got it.
Left a bitter taste in my mouth, haven't ever played III now.
Football Manager 2022 Xbox Edition is 8pm on the 8th, according to the Store (already installed).
Football Manager 2022 (Windows) is not Game Pass PC / Ultimate Day One, as it was released 21/10, achievements live 28th. On sale and is in beta until the 9th. I've almost finished it.
You are missing Football Manager 2022: Xbox Edition. Like last year, there will be two versions released, with differences between them, including the price. Both are released on the same day this year, unlike 2021's two titles.
I avoid remasters of games that were released within the achievement phase unless it was a huge graphical improvement say Morrowind would get but I am buzzing for these remasters or remakes. Just hope they get a physical release.
My annoyance with GTA V was it was announced as coming to 360/PS3 exclusively, and they stated it was not coming to next-gen (X1/PS4). Now, that was false. Additionally, in their initial Take-Two shareholder reports, they stated they had an additional single-player story DLC planned in the first year of GTA V's release. That was also false.
Played it on 360, won't play it again. Too long to complete or play again when there is so many other games I am yet to play. If you want to remaster something, remaster the ones that predate the achievement era.
Need for Speed Hit Pursuit Lambo DLC (not the remaster). It has been several years since I played this game, just never done the final DLC pack. My driving needs a refresh.
I was a PlayStation player until 360. Hated the PS3 controller. Red Dead Redemption was the game that got me into Xbox, and achievements. Moved away from always playing COD and FIFA.
Developers would be better not announcing release dates until it is actually ready. Just looks bad delaying things, leads to crunch. I do understand delays with COVID, but this has been a problem for years.

I prefer the news here but stats on TA.

@Elbow The list on TA, I made that. Thanks for sharing.
Re: Xbox 360 'Cult Classic' Lollipop Chainsaw Returns This September For Series X|S
@Arcticpandapopz The end of the video says a digital release. I bet Limited Run end up making a physical.

That alpha footage makes it look so easy to dribble past players. Not good.

Re: Soapbox: Tomb Raider Deserves A 'Resident Evil-Style' Remake
Agree. I'd love a lot of older games to get full remakes. Praying for Hogs of War, Dark Cloud and Yu-Gi-Oh Forbidden Memories.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (October 15-16)
Resident Evil (Xbox One).

Re: Poll: Did You Ever Buy The 'Chatpad' For Your Xbox Controller?
I have the X1 version. Don't use it for messages, just use my phone app, but still use it sparingly for games that need a lot of typing.
Re: Talking Point: How Often Do You Use Your Xbox To Watch TV In 2022?
Quite often for Sky TV and MUTV, as my Samsung Smart TV does not have apps for them. Netflix, BT Sport, BBC, ITV, Disney, and Prime - all have apps.

Re: Red Dead Redemption Remake And RDR2 Next-Gen Reportedly In Development
@Agnostic I thought the same.

Re: Microsoft Could Be Set To Release An Xbox Streaming Device Within The Next Year
Haven't bought a Series X yet, barely used XCloud. My TV is a Samsung Smart TV so this might be a way to play new-gen console exclusives.
Re: EA Is Still 'Likely' To Ditch The FIFA Name, Says Report
@VOODOO85
Only one current target: eFootball (Pes) getting the rights, which is possible.
Re: EA Is Still 'Likely' To Ditch The FIFA Name, Says Report
@homme_parametre
Wasn't there an affiliation deal back in 2009, when they started to merge awards? Swear I remember that.
Re: EA Is Still 'Likely' To Ditch The FIFA Name, Says Report
@homme_parametre FIFPRO is affiliated with FIFA, they won't make that deal.
Like the article says, they will go with a non-partnership name. They don't need the partnership.

Bought it on release and completed it. You can play this on W10 and if you want the fuller, fatter version, that is also on Game Pass.

His points were valid, just a bad idea in the position he is in.
