I think the devs from PiranhaBytes and Spiders should join together and form a new studio and create the jankiest Eurojank that ever janked.

I'd be there for it.

Take what Molyneux says and divide it by three and you'll have a better idea of what you're getting.

I'd bring back Kameo, but this time around she'd have DD's and wear nothing but glitter. She'd transform into Crash Bandicoot and Banjo and Spyro in order to solve puzzles. Instead of orcs she'd be fighting the Locust.

I don't care if it's exclusive or not.

I knew a guy once who had a perfectly symmetrical face. It was off-putting.

You can run each of these games on a potato. Literally. If you have even the most basic of laptops, you have technology capable of running these games. They are on sale regularly for pennies on the dollar. Please don't pay $30 each for these.

I hope Pearl Abyss takes my feedback into account and lets me strip down and streak bare *** nekkid through town and fly off a cliff. Who doesn't wanna fly nekkid? I bet it's liberating.

What if I have two different accounts for Xbox and PC because that's how ZOS made me roll for the past 12 years?

I would take RE Rev 2's RAID mode over Mercenaries. Just sayin'.

Is this like how everyone clamored for Goldeneye 007 then it came out and nobody played it

Would've been might fine if this were an Xbox Play Anywhere title.

FFS put this franchise on ice already.

TMNT is pretty good couch co-op

"Sweet! An Xbox controller with symmetrical thumb sticks!" shouted the imaginary person that doesn't exist.

Wow. If only this was completely optional.

Might give Space Marine 2 a spin on the Xbox. I have it on Steam but it makes my PC cry lol.

Seeing the Splinter Cell trilogy on that list is just further proof of how far Ubisoft has fallen.

I would really love for Xbox to do a "Never Been On Sale" sale. There are games that have been on my wishlist since Xbox had wishlists, and they've never once seen a discount.

Then there are games that are on sale so frequently, they might as well just list it at that price permanently. Batman should just be $5 by now. The Surge should just be $5. The guy trying to sell me ponchos at the flea market don't even drop his prices that often.

@Deadcorpse66 If they just made a game with the songs included, the game would have to be pulled completely when the licensing expires, even if just one song. By keeping the licensed tracks as seperate DLC, the game can remain while the individual tracks get de-listed.

Wait, you mean the more an OS has to keep track of, the worse it runs?

@Shy_Hallaman I do. My day don't end at 5. My day ends when the work is done.

It can be done. Small, efficient teams. Focused direction. Fewer suits. We've gotten so used to these bloated development times by gigantic studios with a ton of redundancies and red tape that we've accepted 5-6 year dev cycles as the norm. But it doesn't have to be that way.

And bring back crunch. Yeah, I said it. No, I don't care about your feelings. Companies tried to roll back the crunch so hard, they pivoted too far in the other direction. Now it takes them far longer to complete anything than it used to, which bloats the budget, which they then try to pawn off on us with $80 games.

To be fair, I don't think Katamari Damacy would have been successful had it debuted in this day and age, either. That's not to say weird or quirky games can't be successful, because we see it all the time. But the risk/reward is definitely a thing. You take your shot with games like this, and it's either going to hit or it isn't.

Amazon playin' dirty.

But, let's be real. Anyone that wants to play this game, regardless of what console they're on, is probably going to have to create this damn Amazon ID anyway. Just like my Nacon ID, my EA ID, my Battlenet ID, my Ubi ID, my Bethesda ID, my..........

I will be infinitely more excited for Fable if they can change that main character to not look like my cousin Mark.

Literally all I see is my cousin Mark wearing a red wig and it's disturbing.

Something about Mega Man with modern graphics just feels wrong.

I will only play this if I can change directions mid-jump.

Bring it to VR you cowards.

If I'm not pukin', I'm not playin'.

"Aw, man." -Somebody, somewhere.

To be honest, I was all for this game when it was going to be Dangerous Driving 2. Then they said they were going open world, and I groaned. Then they said it was going to be a build-it-yourself open world game, and I checked out. They should have stuck with what was working for them. Dangerous Driving was good.

That said. I'm confused. I thought a publisher's job was to pay for stuff. If they were funding it themselves? Why have a publisher take a cut?

But I thought Xbox dead????

I played through Avowed and it wasn't nearly as bad as some people would claim. Some of those character designs were dumb as hell though.

I play video games to play them. Not have them play for me. I also don't need game advice or insights. That's what sites like this are for. I really feel like these corporations use and development of AI is somewhat misplaced. What they should really be working on is AI that can cook my dinner, mow my lawn, and wipe my ###. Let ME do the fun stuff.

Is every episode going to be them re-capturing the same outpost they just captured the previous episode?

yeah it has. I am slowly trying to phase out my consoles and move toward PC. But my PC at the moment is average at best. So it's great to be able to buy games and play them on console now, and have them for PC later when my rig is a bit more capable. Plus, if the future Xbox is a hybrid, then all Xbox games going forward are going to essentially be PC anyway.

South of Midnight had fantastic art direction and a kickass soundtrack. The level design, while absolutely beautiful, was simple as hell, and the combat was bad. I liked the game a lot, but it was not GOTY material.

That said, I absolutely think it should have gotten recognition for art and sound.

I could totally understand the need for a re-release of Graces f and Xillia... this one is... less important. Other than the fact that it never released on Xbox. It is still readily available on PC and PS5, and probably looks the same.

I will say that Velvet was one of my favorite characters from the series though.

Dropped down to Essential, because I still play games online.

I don't believe half of the poll numbers that say they outright canceled, for that reason alone. They just gave up on playing any of their online games? I don't buy it.

Forza Motorsport was half-baked at best. They focused so much on the physics and the graphics, they forgot to make fun tracks. Racing on Laguna Seca for the billionth time is fine (i guess), but they left all the fun fictional tracks on the cutting room floor, while at the same time the only NEW tracks they offered were just more boring licensed tracks, some of which are barely distinguishable. It got real boring, real fast. I played the **** out of every FM before that, and I could not stay interested in this one at all. I played about ten races and I was done.

I own GT7 as well, and honestly I don't think it plays nearly as well as FM. But that game has a style and a soul that keeps it interesting, and FM was just lifeless.

I'm not going to reward Sony for their sloppy seconds.

Truth is though, I have a PS5 as well and I didn't buy it there either.

@MetalGear_Yoshi I'm okay with it. Let the people looking for "that kind" of experience go have fun. That'll have the remaining audience in Conquest being the ones that actually want to play Conquest.

@Coletrain You also reply to articles on video game websites. You're not the person they're trying to attract. They already got you. And me. And everyone else on this comment board. Their "competition" is short form video because the audiences of potentional NEW gamers, the ones that are not gaming (and not growing the market) are the ones glued to their phones.

Short-form video has created an entire generation of ADD and people with extremely short attention spans. Which is bad for gaming and audience retention.

Don't care. Seriously, literally, do not care.

That's the cost of doing business. They can write it off on their taxes like every other expense. Why is this even news?

Why does anyone care?

Literally... why?

I've been playing on Xbox since 2002. I literally couldn't care less about any of this. Maybe I'll buy one. Maybe I won't. I honestly couldn't give a rat's furry *** who made it or what it's called. The fact people are debating this so furiously is... sad.

Why would I care what the sale price was the last time I missed it? It's not like I can go back in time. If the sale price on something isn't currently to my liking, I'll just wait until the next time it's on sale to see if it's any lower. Simple as that.

Yes but will it consist of a train that is traveling at 100 miles an hour for like, three hours, yet crashes a half a mile away from where they started?

Arrr, ye mateys. I be decidin' whether I own somethin' or not.

Only in gaming would having the option to try many different types of things to see if you like them be considered a "bad thing."

lol this industry.

I play most games on Easy difficulty these days. I ain't even sorry. I'll play this on normal until it annoys me then I'll activate the 9999 HP damage and call it a day.

I liked the first Dying Light and The Following way more than Dying Light 2. So if they go back to what worked, I'm down.

Interesting that Team Ninja is heading up the Fatal Frame II remake. Hopefully it doesn't turn out like the last two Fatal Frames, which were.... Eh...
