Black Ops 2 being backwards compatible on the Xbox One and the fact that I love the design of that console. Still use it pretty much every single day and play Black Ops 2 on it here and there also.
I’d say thanks to Xbox for doing this but they’re the ones closing the store down. Still, It’s good they’re doing a sale and it’s a start. Let’s hope they add more to this.
Bad company 3 has to happen please. It’s hard to believe that Bad Company 2 was brought out in 2010. Also, I’d be up for Battle Royale if it’s done right.
I along with many other people would absolutely love them to do more backwards compatible games so it’s not such a big deal with the Xbox 360 store closing because you would still be able to purchase and play those games on Xbox One and Xbox Series. You’d have thought they would have done a sale before the store shuts down also?
‘Xbox and Meta teamed up last year to bring Xbox Cloud Gaming (Beta) to Meta Quest, letting people play Xbox games on a large 2D virtual screen in mixed reality.’
I don’t understand why you would want to play on a 2D screen with some VR headset when you can have an actual real TV in front of you?
Better than how it was before but I’d rather have the choice to customise the Dashboard. Think I’m probably the only person that would love them to bring back the original Xbox One Dashboard.
I’ve played through and completed Crash Bandicoot 4 single player twice now and I absolutely loved it. Hard to believe now that it was brought out in 2020. Hope there’s another one soon.
To be honest, Sucks to read people say that it’s not good because I was starting to get my hopes up when I seen this was going to be coming to Xbox. Predator deserves an actual decent game for once.
Do they let you play with the same people over multiple games online for MW3 because if they do then I’d like to probably get back into it because these updates look pretty cool to be honest.
Hope they do a modern day based Battle Royale kinda like a BF3 theme to it but after BF2042 I shouldn’t expect much or it to be anywhere near as good as that game.
They have not seen the names for some of the adult games on Steam? They’re far and beyond worse lol. Anyways, What’s the confusion about? It’s not that hard to say or to understand how to pronounce.
Should have been absolute remasters to be honest but it’s cool they are doing this and I hope it helps to breathe new life into these games. It’d be cool to play them online again and get decent number of people on to play against.
Don’t think this is the right way to go for COD to be honest because there’s plenty of people that aren’t ‘hardcore’ gamers and like COD for being pick up and play. Single player campaign has always been pretty short and linear with decent story and characters. That’s what it’s known for so why change?
Yeh I’d have thought a heads up would have been the right thing to do like others have already said. Perhaps they’re going to bring out a remaster soon and that’s why they’ve done this?
Wow it’s amazing to see this. That second video showing the multiplayer looks like some weird futuristic Modern Warfare. Love when we get to see things like this.
BF2042 is so frustrating to me because the Portal mode had so much potential and they should have added more classic maps from the series but for some reason they don’t bother to do so.
There’s nothing I’m playing right now so I’d probably end up getting this. Still have an Xbox store card to use and to be able to play the original Tomb Raider games but with better graphics would be cool.
Already played this on PC and got my ass absolutely handed to me. Far too fast for me to be honest. Didn’t last more than couple seconds each time lol.
It’s strange to me that this can happen and the character design no longer belongs to the original owner. Don’t really understand to be honest. Anyways, There’s no doubt Mickey Mouse character skins will start to pop up all over the place now.
Happy New Year and let’s hope there are even more amazing Xbox games brought out this year. Looking forward to some more remasters tho because I’m a sucker for retro games these days.
@Beetlebum91 Just be careful with that because I’ve heard about people getting their accounts banned by playing the games, even tho it’s not their fault when that happens.
Absolutely has to be for me, GoldenEye being brought on to Xbox. I, Like so many other people had been anticipating it for so long and when it was released I was as excited as when I played it on the N64 for the first time.
I only have an Xbox One so I’m happy that recent games which have been brought out are still being released on it like MW3 but I’d say because they don’t produce the consoles any longer then it’s over. Don’t forget that PS2 games were still being brought out in 2013 when the PS4 was released but I doubt people still thought of that generation as being ‘active’.
Happy Christmas! Hope that all you reading this have a good day and got what you wanted this year. Also well done Pure Xbox for another great year and here’s to another one.
This is probably more what’s your favourite Xbox 360 game rather than what’s the greatest, but for me it’s either Black Ops 2 or Modern Warfare 2. I’ve only played 3 games on that top 10 and I would say Red Dead Redemption is the best on there.
Thought it would be interesting to mention that F1 2010 servers have not been announced for shut down so they’re still going to be available. I’ve read people say they’re P2P so that’s the reason?
Let’s see what the other trailers end up looking like before we make our minds up and come to any conclusions only from this one. I’d say the only thing that bothers me is it’s not going to be released until 2025, and when exactly during that year also?
Pretty cool, Doing modern day Vice City is an interesting choice. There’s going to be people happy with that but others not so much and probably would have loved them to go back to the 80’s. Think the 2 protagonists look good and it’s nice to see female one for the first time.
Yeh not surprised with the Bad Company games being shut down but what does surprise me is that the online servers are still up for both. Like, I remember playing Bad Company 2 on PS3 when it was brought out and that’s 13 years ago now.

Re: Microsoft Unveils New Xbox Accessibility Controller, Pre-Orders Live
That looks proper cool but yeh the price is ridiculous to be honest. How’s it accessible when you need to be rich to buy one?
Re: Xbox Begins Discounting Lots Of 360 Games Ahead Of July Store Closure

Re: Xbox Appears To Be Getting Ready For Crash Bandicoot On Game Pass

Re: EA CEO 'Couldn't Be More Excited' About What The Team Is Making With Battlefield

It’s no problem for me because I don’t have any Friends.
Re: Talking Point: Almost A Year On, What Do You Think Of The Current Xbox Dashboard?

Re: Sony's PS4 Exclusive 'Predator: Hunting Grounds' Is Finally Coming To Xbox

Re: Talking Point: In Your Opinion, What Made The Xbox 360 Era So Incredible?
Starting to get kinda depressed with the articles to do with how great the Xbox 360 era was. Like, Xbox isn’t that bad today is it?
Re: Battlefield's Next Entry Will Reportedly Include A 'Free-To-Play Battle Royale'

Re: Star Wars Battlefront Returns To Xbox With 64-Player Online Battles This March

Re: Report: Call Of Duty 'Black Ops Gulf War' Will Feature An Open World Campaign This October
Don’t think this is the right way to go for COD to be honest because there’s plenty of people that aren’t ‘hardcore’ gamers and like COD for being pick up and play. Single player campaign has always been pretty short and linear with decent story and characters. That’s what it’s known for so why change?

Re: Battlefield 2042 Outlines New Update Arriving Next Week, Here's What's Included
BF2042 is so frustrating to me because the Portal mode had so much potential and they should have added more classic maps from the series but for some reason they don’t bother to do so.
Re: Microsoft Hits Historic $3 Trillion Valuation On Same Day Of Xbox Layoffs
Bet the people that lost their jobs do more work and contribute more than those at the top. That’s probably how it is in most places to be honest.
Re: Palworld Under 'Investigation' As Pokémon Company Issues Statement
What about Digimon? I’d say that’s closer to Pokémon than this and that’s been around for about 20 years now or so.
Re: Call Of Duty: MW3's Online Multiplayer Is Now Apparently 50% Less Toxic
Perhaps it’s to do with more people not bothering to play the game any longer lol.
Re: Don't Forget, It's Almost Time For Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered On Xbox
There’s nothing I’m playing right now so I’d probably end up getting this. Still have an Xbox store card to use and to be able to play the original Tomb Raider games but with better graphics would be cool.

Re: Free-To-Play Football Game 'UFL' Delayed To 2024 Following Recent Alpha Launch
Yeh I’m not surprised about this either considering the fact that it’s late December. Let’s hope it won’t be too much longer before it’s brought out.
Re: Talking Point: 10 Years Later, Would You Consider The Xbox One Era Officially Over?
I only have an Xbox One so I’m happy that recent games which have been brought out are still being released on it like MW3 but I’d say because they don’t produce the consoles any longer then it’s over.

Re: Talking Point: If You Could Bring Back Any Old Xbox Feature, What Would It Be?

Re: A Bunch Of Xbox Games Are Closing Their Servers In 2024

Re: Poll: What Is Your Xbox Game Of The Year For 2023?
Is it bad that I put a 26 year old game as my top choice?
Re: It's That Time Again! Your Xbox 'Year In Review' 2023 Is Now Available

Re: GTA 6 Launches In 2025, Watch The Official First Trailer Here

Re: Soapbox: 'Xbox Developer Direct' Needs To Return In Early 2024
I would also love for Xbox to do another Developer Direct. Actually can’t believe that was back in January. Be nice for them to do one every year.
Re: Pick One: Which Of These Xbox One Launch Titles Is Your Favourite?
That’s a pretty strong looking launch to me. Plenty to choose from and not too many I would say are bad games.
Re: These 10+ Xbox Games Are Shutting Their Servers This December
