How about celebrating by making an emulator on Series X/S that will allow us to play EVERY 360 game!

I don’t think it was free on all platforms. Wasn’t even brought up as a possibility on PlayStation. In any case, glad they finally got it fixed on Xbox.

@101Force Just went free tonight.

@FraserG This is finally free.

I really need to know what their full next gen hardware picture looks like before I would even consider this one.

Will be curious to try out To a T on GamePass. Always up for something new and different.

Personally, I never, ever expected Atari games as part of backwards compatibility on my Xbox. Streaming may not be the optimal way to do this but there may be licensing issues or other things we aren’t even thinking about. It’s cool that they even are doing this at all.

We’ve gotten games like Expedition 33, Doom The Dark Ages and Oblivion Remastered. So now we’re given a nice little bonus and, yet, people have to complain about it? Welp, that’s the Internet for you.

If the ONLY way to make a game backwards compatible is through streaming due to legal issues, etc. it’s better than nothing at all. Say a game like Blur can’t be given BC because of music licenses. But it would be okay to stream. Wouldn’t it be better to have that option than nothing at all?

@Neither_scene No it doesn’t. I was just surprised that it was exclusive.

Also appears to be Xbox and PC exclusive for the time being!

@carlos82 That’s a shame. It must depend on where you are in relation to their server’s or something because I just had the opposite experience. Ran nice and smooth and little to no lag. Nice to have these to relive some memories!

Maybe it does depend on where you are in relation to the servers but tried tonight and worked perfectly for me. No lag. No stuttering. Played wonderfully for me. Great addition!

@Fishticon Surprised to read that. I’ve had Antstream in the past as well and it worked beautifully for me.

@GeeForce I may be wrong on the technology part but I’ve played Antstream before and it always felt like I was playing it locally. No lag. Where GamePass or PlayStation streaming of newer games was inconsistent. It was a big difference IMO.

Don’t let streaming keep you from checking this out. We are talking such small games that they take almost no bandwidth. I’ve played games on Antstream and can’t tell the difference between streaming and if they were downloaded. It’s much different than streaming games that were made this gen.

Been looking forward to Monster Train 2, another great day one add. Metaphor, Symphonia and Crypt Custodian are all fantastic games. Nice adds!

@Neither_scene Rockstar would be increasing the prices. Not MS.

Indiana Jones is my favorite but that, South of Midnight, Avowed and Doom would all be at least a 9 for me. Great group of games!

For me, I was playing it then Expedition 33 took over. I’ll get back to it though.

I’m absolutely loving it so far. Expedition 33 is still my GoTY at this point (and one of my favorite games of all time). But this is a nice counterbalance when I just want to blow some ***** up. I actually like the changes to the combat. I thought Eternal was getting a bit too fast paced for me.

@Ricky-Spanish But their next game may be something completely different and since they said they’ll control it 100%, it probably will be a different IP that Sony will have no say in where it goes.

I still need to get back to the original. Too many games!

The funny thing is that it’s going to take me the rest of the year just to finish the bangers from the first six months!

As part of it’s earnings report today, Capcom said 90% of it’s game sales were now digital and it’s expected to increase even more this year.

As much as collectors love physical, I think its days are numbered.

What?!? You get a “Loading Screen”?!?! That doesn’t sound like a very good bonus.

Graphics look fantastic but not sold on the story yet (or lack thereof presented in the trailer at least).

Glad Little Kitty Big City is staying. Aside from the date, I thought it was gone for sure either it also being put on PS+ Extra this month.

Hoping it shows up at the June showcase with a fall release!

@Valhura Clearly you don’t understand a statement made in jest. That’s why there’s a big smiley face at the end of my comment.

Of course people have different tastes.

I can’t help it if my opinion is the right one. (Yes, that’s also sarcasm).

Those people who bounced off Clair Obscur have no taste! 😀

Some good games in there for PC. Wish they’d give away something for Xbox that isn’t already in GamePass!

It’s not like they didn’t have time to promote the game before the shadow drop and I had never heard of the game until the dev came out with this complaint. So they failed to make the game known to begin with.

Played Towerborne in the Xbox preview test ring. It’s pretty fun. Gives me a Castle Crashers vibe. Wasn’t happy to hear it was going to be F2P when it fully releases (this preview is likely paid). But apparently the only micro transactions will be for cosmetics. And maybe they’ll be perks for some of that. So I’ll give it a shot.

But hard for anything to pull me away from Clair Obscur right now!

I expected it to be good but being the dev’s first effort I thought it would be pretty rough. But, nope, it’s very well polished. Great graphics and atmosphere. And the soundtrack may be an all-timer for video games. Easy 10 from me.

And even though I’m playing on GamePass, I have no doubt that I’ll be buying it to own at some point.

They’re probably doing this just to make sure PlayStation gamers know it is coming to PS.

GamePass totally is enough for brand loyalty to me. It rocks and 2025 is its best year yet!

So no New Zealand trick…boooo!

It’s fantastic aside from some framerate dips when out in the open world (on a Series X). Looks beautiful and plays well. Just happy to have a modern version of Oblivion, which is my favorite ES game even over Skyrim.

Played for about an hour and am honestly pretty happy with the performance so far. Looks fantastic as well. Can’t wait to dig into it more!

Was surprised there was a live chat for the reveal on Push Square but not on Pure Xbox for a first party game.

Anyway, downloading!!!

Surprised that Push Square is doing a live chat for this but Pure Xbox isn’t even though it’s a first party game.

Need to get back to this. It’s a great game. Just too much to play!

Devs on X say they’re looking into it. It definitely was meant to be free but they set it up incorrectly.

@Kaloudz I’d say this is the best of the series but if Exodus bored you, not sure if this would be up your alley either.

@Kaloudz You should play it if you haven’t. Great game!

Really hope this is true and not just for MP. I would love a sequel to the phenomenal campaign in Titanfall 2.

I think it was part of the initial deal to buy Bungie that they would have some independence and still be multiplatform.

@Kaloudz Yeah, that’s the only reason I asked Nate is because I trust him. Would never do the same with Jez or 90% of the other “insiders”. They’ll come.

You quoted me! I’m famous!

I personally prefer OpenCritic and an 80 sounds perfectly fine. Looking forward to playing it!
