Eh, looks alright. The UI is soooo horrible, and I think it's weird to show off a game's progress like this. I mean, as a first impression, it's like going on a first date with someone and sending them a picture of you getting ready. They should stop with the dev logs and cut a real trailer when they're further along.

How easy was it to get into the beta (via the Insider program)? And is it too late??? I was hoping there'd be some beta keys on eBay for $2 to save me the headache and waiting, lol.

I bought 4 of those copies, lol. Fav game of all time, actually. Just wish they had supported it longer...I mean, the other FGC big doggs Tekken and SF5 have 4+ years content each.

Now we'll actually have to wait 3-4 years for MKX2. BOOOOOO!!!

I just wonder if the Bad Company 2 maps will be fully destructible (that was the only BF game I actually LOVED, and mainly for that reason).

I'm excited, although I'm fairly certain that the "Cut off their limbs" warning is still just written in stock horror font re-used from the original game.

Wonder how Glen Schofield feels about his new game (The Callisto Protocol) going head-to-head with his original work!

@Trmn8r I use the browser version on my PC laptop and it works flawlessly! I have no doubt there's something Apple has in-place that throttles the bandwidth or something.

Apple sucks haaard...I'd abandon ship on their phones if sending photos and videos wasn't a compression nightmare between iOS and Android.

Is it just me, or is XCloud total garbage on iOS? Works great on my other devices, just not the ones I would actually use this service on...

You guys got me excited when you said "arena shooter" (i.e. Quake, Unreal, Lawbreakers), but really this is a "hero shooter." Get your terms straight!

Looks a little bland, otherwise. I've got the feeling it will come down to just shooting each other TDM-style instead of using each class's abilities to complete objectives or something more strategic (i.e. Lawbreakers, Overwatch, R6S).

@InterceptorAlpha Maybe he means Ubisoft? Regardless, I don't mind it when companies re-use assets as a template for a new game...it just bothers me when they don't ADD to the template. In the case of COD, it doesn't feel like they've added anything new since bullet-penetration in 2007. No noticeable improvements to A.I. or physics or destructibility or interactivity, etc.

@NEStalgia I think it was more about "Prey 2" being teased years before that was a proper sequel to the 2006 game...the trailer for that game was so popular that once that project was cancelled, Bethesda capitalized on the hype by re-using the name for Prey 2017.

I'd LOVE a sequel, but in my experience, it's not worth getting your hopes up. Play what's in front of you and stop wishing for a sequel. Soooo many franchises I've loved have stayed dead for 10+ years and it's a shame that IP holders like MS never really put these kinds of classic licenses to use.

Only JRPG I've ever played where I didn't fall asleep at some point while playing (probably because of the time limit, lol). Definitely hope this turns out to be true...

@LocalPenguin Oh god, good point about F2P. I think MS is already doing a lot to make NEW games affordable to everyone (Game Pass) but yeah...as a mostly PC gamer, I'm worried about THAT crowd coming into the mix in-particular.

What would a sequel to these games looks like? Honestly I'd be fine with one that looks like an N64 game, lol. Low budget, low risk, and doesn't need to reinvent itself to compete with other big AAA games.

I love Xbox as a platform, but I gotta say...they reeeeally waste their acquisitions. They buy up a studio or IP and then maybe make one game and call it good (ie. all the Rare IPs). Even now, we get just ONE installment of their biggest IPs every 4 to 5 years (mainline Gears and Halo). I get quality over quantity, and that it takes longer than ever before to make a game, but this is Microsoft we're talking about. More funding, more man power, shorter development cycles please!

Nice, didn't realize this was a fighting game! It's too bad that every game in the "arena fighter" subgenre is a licensed game (aka seems to lean more toward a quick cash-in than a deep, balanced experience). This one seems like the competitive PVP aspects will take a noticeable backseat to the single-player mode, but I hope I'm wrong.

This is a big deal! Now let's see some Let's Plays where one person plays with a controller in each hand.

Love me some artbooks, although the "what coulda been" aspect of them can be kinda frustrating, lol.

Don't usually come over to this site...mostly on the sister site, Push Square. Good to see you guys cover non-Xbox news when it's relevant and don't just pretend like it doesn't exist!

That being said, Xbox design all the way!

Definitely my favorite FF (aside from XIII, lol)! Haven't played it since it came out, but Vivi's story resonates with me still. Beautiful game full of great moments. Amazing soundtrack too, except the main battle theme never, ever grew on me.

You can get the Kinect / Titanfall / Sports Rivals bundle (U.S.versions) on the MS website right now for about the same price ($499).

Wait...so this IS or ISN'T confirmed? I'd buy an X1 for this, since I've just never had any interest in Halo at all until very recently. Too bad I've had some key plot points spoiled for me >:0
