If it didn't have to compete with Expedition 33, South of Midnight would have been my game of the year. I'm not suprised it didn't sell well, it was in Gamepass. Plus for people like me, no physical release no buy.
I'm pretty sure there is old Gears footage running on a PS3. So who cares. The consoles are so similar, if you have a dev kit and the right code, you can make it happen.
I've only played 4 and 5 so I'd say 5 is my favorite. I live about 2 hours from Mexico so the settings were very familiar and the right lane driving was nice. I also discovered more songs I liked in 5.
They should make a digital edition for people who like to throw money away and a disc version for those that what their money spent to actually hold value. I have so many physical games worth 5x what I paid for them.
If the Xbox goes the way of Dreamcast I am going to be rich! I don't think I own a Dreamcast game that isn't 5x what I paid for it, and I have hundereds of Xbox games.
I remember buying my Xbox in the Sega GT/JSRF bundle at Best Buy. The whole reason I got an Xbox is because Shenmue 2 was coming out on it. We didn't get a Dreamcast Shenmue 2 release in the U.S.
I put my One S in my sons room and he uses it everyday. Rarely for games though. When we go out of town I will pack up the One S and bring it wherever we go.
