Lollipop Chainsaw remake reveal.

Ninja Gaiden 4.

@Green-Bandit I would love a Quake reboot but also a Quake 4 remaster. I didn't really understand why it was never part of BC.

Semi-interesting fact: Xenon was actually going to be the name of the console before they decided on Xbox 360. I managed a Game store in the build up to the 360 launch and we had tons of demo videos and marketing material that referenced it as Xenon. There was also a DOA4 demo video that had a message from Team Ninja in the background of a fight saying 'Congratulations on the Xenon launch from all at Team Ninja'

@Stormageddon Thanks for insight your honour.

I expect you'll be able to explain (in legal terms) why Microsoft are still pushing forward if it's already over???

@Kaloudz Intelligent? Nope. I just Googled 'Saturn's Moon Titan' and copied and pasted. 🤣🤣🤣

@Kaloudz Whatever. I guess some of us just like our moons with clouds, rain, rivers, lakes and seas of liquid hydrocarbons like methane and ethane.

With the number of franchises Xbox own, it always surprises me how few get used.

They're not quite as bad as Nintendo in that regard but it's still very frustrating.

@Kaloudz @UnusedBabyWipes Apparently Jim Ryan has been having lots of dialogue with Saturn's moon Titan and is fairly confident they'll reject the acquisition.

If they go against it then the other 123 moons are likely to follow suit.

As a UK gamer I'd be absolutely gutted if Xbox withdrew from the market or reduced what's available in any way. Hopefully the deal gets pushed through despite the incompetence of the CMA.

@x3King84 You stole my avatar!!! ☹️

Why do things like this take so damn long??? Just hurry up and fix it!

@JayJ Don't get me wrong, I own a PS5 and a Switch too. I just find it really depressing when people act like pathetic children over loyalty to a machine they bought.

There's a lot of comments here from PlayStation fan boys.

Just have six squares and a customisable background.

IT'S NOT TRICKY MICROSOFT!!! PLEASE!!!

@Xiovanni It was and still is fantastic. I still play it regularly. It's a shame they went backwards a little with Team Sonic Racing.

Such a shame. It looks wonderful and I've been after a genuine Mario Kart competitor for ages. Sonic All-Stars Transformed came closest.

That will sell for an absolute fortune in a few years time.

I really like this game and am glad to see there will be further support.

I am really enjoying this so far. I actually prefer the slower pace of this compared to some of the more trigger happy FPS games out there.

I'm a big fan of Rick and Morty humour but even I was slightly surprised to be offered a big fat line of cocaine in the first 2 minutes. 🤣

@Would_you_kindly He doesn't do the exact opposite. Xbox exclusives are available in more ways and on more platforms than PlayStation exclusives. That's a simple fact.

Sunset Overdrive X Lollipop Chainsaw X Jet Set Radio X No More Heroes X Viewtiful Joe

And I love it!

I'm one of the only people in the world who loved Devil's Third. I really enjoyed the mixed gameplay mechanics and cannot wait for this game for the same reasons.

Including mobile and PC does massively skew those numbers.

I really wish that platform holders would create some kind of trade in programme though.

I ordered this on PS5 but didn't realise it only came in a steel book so I returned it. I really hate steel books. Hopefully this will be in a standard case.

I own consoles from all 3 platform holders so think of myself as platform agnostic. However, there's just something about Jim Ryan's pathetic, hypocritical, whining that makes me like PlayStation less as a brand. Nintendo isn't the biggest gaming brand in the world. Xbox isn't the biggest gaming brand in the world. It's PlayStation. Yet he acts like he's president of a tiny start-up being bullied in the playground by the older kids.

I've also said this before but, Sony bought EVERY single studio that makes their wonderful first party games. Just because Microsoft has the wallet to do so on a bigger scale, in one hit, doesn't mean it's not the same thing.

From my own experience, I've bought plenty of games I wouldn't have gone near if it wasn't for the ability of playing them first on Game Pass

This is an absolute joke.

@ymo1965 Charles Martinet for 90 minutes??? No thanks.

He actually is listed in the credits of the trailer but I didn't bother to search who he plays.

It should be MGS 1-4 and Metal Gear Rising.

Bizarrely, I could see Microsoft seizing this opportunity to reduce the price of the Series X. It would be a massive statement to have an £80 difference between both consoles.

This is an updated PS1 game. It should have maximum output on both X|S surely???

Luckily I also have both. I use my Series S solely as a Game Pass machine and any disc or digital games are stored on the HDD/SSD attached to my Series X. I wanted both and had to justify purchasing them to my wife.

What a massive disappointment.

@Beermonkey If it's a remake then I'm assuming it will use the same script and therefore no involvement with Gunn is needed.

Such amazing news! I'm so looking forward to this.

I'd love to see this on console. I was gutted when it wasn't made available via backwards compatibility. The scene on the conveyor belt still haunts me.

I'm not keen on the name. Not very catchy or memorable.

Did anyone else think that the frame rate was pretty poor?

I actually thought this looked bad. Yes, the cars were shiny, but I thought the trees and water looked terrible.

I do hope that Code Veronica gets the remake treatment at some point. Capcom seem to have completely forgotten that game exists.

The thing is that nobody is buying a PlayStation for PS+. Plenty of people are buying Xbox consoles for Game Pass.

@russbeer The Original Xbox wasn't up against the Wii. It was PS2, Dreamcast and GameCube that generation.

@themightyant Do you mean Series S?

The Original Xbox for me. I worked in retail at the time and it really annoyed me how many customers would completely ignore the system in favour of the PS2. It didn't matter how impressive the first party games were or how much better multiplatform games looked and played, they just blindly wanted a PlayStation. To be fair, it was a masterclass in marketing from Sony, which is why the Dreamcast, despite having an amazing catalogue of exclusives, sadly never stood a chance either.

Thankfully things have changed since then.

@mousieone They didn't need to have anyone internally to work on it. They could have done exactly what Sony did and partner with Insomniac.

I could see this working if there was some kind of trade in centre. Maybe a retailer takes the games in and gives you codes for the games. Either that or sending them to Microsoft directly. I could be a good PR move from the point of view of removing plastic from the environment.

About time. This whole last gen thing needs to end.

I almost bought Hydro Thunder a week ago because I loved it on Dreamcast. Glad I didn't but am annoyed that I can't download it. What's happening Xbox???

This really isn't important. Does anyone actually care about getting 100% achievements for games? Surely that's not the reason to play a particular game. Ubisoft should not be expected to pay to run servers for the few people who still play their legacy games.
