Getting it at launch for the sole reason that prices only seem to be going up. Better buy it now for RRP than to potentially pay more later.

The repetitive combat and samey gameplay dragged down an otherwise great game. If they make something similar, and manage to get a truly great combat/action director on board they could have a masterpiece on their hands.

@Ricky-Spanish Well, I know they've been helping some of Microsoft's other studios out. Redfall got some help to get the game to run better for example via people from both Rare and The Coalition among others.

@Elbow Story is a bit all over the place, but the core gameplay loop is fun!

@Vordus All I want from THQ Nordic is a new Darksiders game!

I've been trying to buy stuff from the marketplace, but for some of the titles, the site just locks in a sort of loading animation whenI've chosen my credit card. I've tried different browsers, but it's the same in all of them.
Thing is, SOME of the games work just fine to buy. I did get Exit 2. Choplifter HD or the Meteos Wars DLC however just don't work, I can't pay, which is frustrating, but oh well. I have most of what I want...

@dreadful They are commited, but it's up to third parties to renew expired licenses if they want the games available again. This isn't really on Microsoft. They've done pretty much all they can with the titles they're allowed to work on.

I'd highly recommend the 360 version of Underworld for anyone who hasn't played them, as I believe it's still the only version that has the two DLC-episodes, which both are good! Therefore making Underworld 360 the definitive edition of the game, just like how the console version of Prince of Persia beats the PC version as it has the exclusive epilogue DLC.

I too want PlatinumGames and Microsoft to revisit Scalebound. When I bought my Xbox One S, that was THE game I wanted the most. Was so gutted when it was cancelled.

"Let’s work together again " he says, then goes on to release his latest game, Sol Cresta, on everything BUT the Xbox...

Haven't had any playback troubles, but the disc drive is LOUD. I have to use headphones when watching movies because the noise is so distracting.

Finished it a few minutes ago, and it was indeed great. Just wish it would have received a performance boost, as the low resolution, pop-in, low shadow quality etc really hurt the experience and immersion. Highly recommend this one.

That would be Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League for me. The latest trailer had me floored!

How big are these updates exactly?

@LocalPenguin Dark Souls Remastered already runs at 60FPS. If you want a 120Hz mode then no, it hasn't been enhanced.

@GunValkyrie The PS5 exclusivity window for FF7R was extended to at least December this year because of the new Intergrade release, so I wouldn't count on seeing that until next year on Series X at the earliest.

I LOVED this section, but it also freaked me out. The combination of the fetus' laughter, crying combined with those eerie monster sounds made me so uneasy. The feeling of helplessness and the nightmarish design of the baby almost gave me a panic attack.
But considering I seldom scare, this one really got me, and that gets a thumbs up from me. Job well done!

Missing soooooo many!
I got myself an OG Xbox last year along with all the games I wanted that aren't backwards compatible, just in case they never show up, but it would be a shame if all of them were just left as is for a small market of collectors...

Do we know of any games that are DV optimized yet, or will that be patched in?
Still hoping for DV support for UHD Blu-ray as well...

This makes it sound like Gears 6 is still a loooooooooong way off...

FOMO - Now on Xbox!

@Xeno_Aura Well, they gave the original Forza Horizon on the 360 4K support on the One X AFTER it had been delisted, so I wouldn't count Horizon 2 & 3 out just yet.

@stancratcha5 They're getting more and more common, and this is a great way of future-proofing games for when the adoption rate gets higher, insuring that consumers will have a plethora of supported games to play.
But yes, I'd also like to see more 60FPS games. Maybe in the next update...

Titanfall 2's campaign is GOAT material, and I'll happily replay it in 120FPS!

The RE games I always buy day one physically either way, so this doesn't bother me in the slightest.

Assassin's Creed Odyssey and Origins would be swell, as I haven't played them yet.

@XBOT cool. Guess my opinion is completely invalidated then.

RE6 is a good game, and even a good Resident Evil game, and I will stand by that until the day I die.
Sure, it tries to do a bit too much of everything, making it a "jack of all trades, master of none", but it still is really fun, especially on modern consoles. The 360/PS3 couldn't really handle the game the way it was meant to be played.

Would rather have a raytracing mode at 60FPS with 1080p or 1440p tbh. 45FPS isn't really optimal.

I bought an original Xbox last year for the games that still aren't backwards compatible that I want to play, and picked this one up for almost nothing. Still haven't played it, but it seems like a ton of fun.

A little less conversation, a little more action, please.

How would these "platinum" trophies even work? If I get 1000 gamerscore and get one, and then the game adds more achievements... will I still get to keep it or will I lose it until I complete the new cheevos as well?

@IronMan30 Well, PS Now is usable on PC. The most recent God of War was there for a while sometime ago, but not for long.

I don't like Kojima, not really. But I can still recognize that he is loved in the community. Wouldn't surprise me though, if this turns out to be true, that we see a lot of Sony fans saying "He was never that good anyway!" or the like, sort of what happened when Microsoft bought Ninja Theory.

In a way, it feels like Sony realizes they can't compete with Game Pass, so they're putting everything they've got into PS+ instead. These last few months have had some great exclusives on PS+, while Xbox are trucking along as usual with GWG. And to think they wanted to raise te price. Good thing they backtracked on that immediately...

I already have it, but Hard Corps Uprising is AWESOME!

The Artful Escape!
I want a release date dangit!

Every time I read a new Activision news story, I feel more and more glad that I've completely boycotted them since 2009.

@Would_you_kindly I'm guessing you'll get a choice who you chose to save in Gears 5 at the start of Gears 6, and then they make small adjustments to the story based on who you picked, but on the whole, it's probably more or less the same.

Gonna try out Squadrons for sure!

@Bmartin001 do you also refuse to use a game controller when playing on PC?
Just seems like a weird stance to take. If it suits the game better and you have the equipment, then why not?

So this comment section escalated quickly...

ReCore is SO underrated. Sure, the load times were horrible on the XB1 and the performance wasn't the greatest, but the platforming was TIGHT!
Think I'll return to it soon and finish off the DLC.

And Microsoft actually wanted to raise the price for THIS?

Recently got this for my original Xbox (that I also picked up last year). This is gonna be a summer game for me!

@Dezzy70 You do know that new people discover gaming each and every day, yeah? Giving them an opportunity to explore the legacy of what's come before, and giving them a better experience than what was possible back then I find really awesome! Or for someone like me who still has a huge backlog. Getting to go through that while at the same time getting a better-looking experience is really just a cherry on top!
Also, Microsoft have invested HEAVILY in new studio acquisitions, and all of them are working full-time to bring out NEW gaming experiences as well. You know, that thing YOU want.
Also, this doesn't take any time from the developers at all. This is Microsoft's backwards compatibility team doing this, and you want what, to put these people into game development when that is clearly not their area of expertise?
Also, we're in the middle of a pandemic. OF COURSE it will be a while before new games show up all things considered.
Your comment doesn't really make a ton of sense. Microsoft is investing heavily in new experiences AND also working to make legacy gaming better for all. One does not negate the other, and I think it's incredible that we're getting both.

Do we know if these have the extra content from the Vita versions, or is this just the PS3 versions ported straight up? I want the NG2 gore retained!

There are parts of the second one that I like more than the first, but on the whole, the first one is the better game.

@themightyant DS3 has an uncapped mode on PS4 Pro so that the game can reach 60FPS. The Xbox version however never got that.

Some that I want to see...
-The Dishonored games
-Assassin's Creed Origins and Odyssey
-The rest of the Far Cry games
-Sonic Unleashed
-Darksiders 2, 3 and Genesis
-Prey (the new one)
-The Evil Within (The first one)
-Resident Evil 1 & 0
-Yakuza Kiwami 2

...just to mention a few.
