Interested in Alan Wake Remastered and FC6, but holding back a bit and wait for some reviews first. The Far Cry franchise do tend to copy and paste similar assets and even the games seem the same to me. I want something new. No more honey badgers thank you :/
Have it on Steam and liked it a lot. But I think an increase in res or some such increase won't be enough to double dip. Great though if you don't already have it. The remake of Dead Space however is worth my pennies! bring it on.
@Fiendish-Beaver Not the first time EA has ruined a perfectly good franchise. The first and second game very very good, but I really didn't like the direction they went with the third. I really hope this remake is a good one. I'm sure they will slip up here and there with it. People find fault with everything. Especially when it's something that they're fond of. Not holding my breath.
@Monkeyofthefunk Yeh, it was kinda trashy. Much preferred the Alien vs Predator game. Incidentally, I tried the Jaguar emulator years ago and forgot just how basic all the games were on the system. Nothing really that had a wow factor. My faves however were Rayman and Jeff Minter's 'Tempest 2000'.
Ironic how EA screwed the franchise over and dissolved Visceral Studio's. Now they're bringing the game back. I'd wager the other 2 games will be re-done as well at some point.
If they make another JC game, I hope it's better than the god aweful effort that 4 was. Nothing like the 'much better' earlier ones. JC 2 was excellent fun. Every one since then seems to get worse.
@OliverOwen I wouldn't say "I can't wait" but having got it in December and not even tried it, I am curious. If only cause it cost me £45. Lesson learnt.
Doesn't show it here but I picked up Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen. I don't normally double dip as I have this on PC, but for just over £6 I couldnt resist. Also noticed that Steam has a sale on for Japanese games too.

Will it have Felicity Kendall and Richard Briers in it? sorry couldn't resist.

Re: Video: EA Shares A 'Very Early Look' At The Next-Gen Dead Space
EA better not get up to their old tricks and fill it up with MicroTransactions.
Re: The First Two Of September 2021's Xbox Games With Gold Are Now Available
Will skip them. Hope next month is a bit better.
Re: Microsoft Rewards Is Giving You A Chance To Win Xbox Game Pass Ultimate For Life
@Generik Awesome. That's what I'm talkin' about!
Re: Microsoft Rewards Is Giving You A Chance To Win Xbox Game Pass Ultimate For Life
I've wasted so many points on these draws. I know you have to be in it to win it, but I'd rather keep the points and put towards a game or something.

Re: The Atari VCS Might Be Getting Support For Xbox Game Pass
The Jaguar was the last thing Atari related I've ever owned. And I used to think it was better than the SNES. Stupid boy!

Re: Xbox Game Pass: All Games Coming Soon & Leaving Soon In August 2021
Just picked up the first Psychonauts game for 91p today in the sale (only a couple of days left I think). Hoping the 2nd one is just as good.
Re: Random: A Broken Bee Almost Ruined Skyrim's Iconic Intro
@SplooshDmg Yeh, must admit that some do have a certain entertainment value.
Re: CD Projekt Red Outlines What's Coming In Cyberpunk 2077 Patch 1.3
Bought it in december and not even fired the thing up. I won't until these lazy a$$ devs put it in a decent state.
Re: The Xbox Series S Is A 'Genuine Engineering Marvel', Says Analysis
Great price yes, but m$ knew they'd make money back on games sold. Just like printer makers and ink.
Re: Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice Is Now Optimised For Xbox Series X, Series S
Good in VR as well.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (August 7-8)
Control. Great game. Played it before when it was on GamePass. Picked it up it with M$ points before the sale ended!
Re: Hands On: The Ascent - A Gritty Cyberpunk Action-RPG Shooter That Will Keep You Coming Back
Had a go, but was not for me. Quality certainly there but I'm not one for isometric stuff really. Glad others are liking it though.
Re: It's Official, A Dead Space Remake Is Coming To Xbox Series X & Series S
Ironic how EA screwed the franchise over and dissolved Visceral Studio's. Now they're bringing the game back. I'd wager the other 2 games will be re-done as well at some point.
Re: Avalanche Studios CEO: 'Xbox Game Pass Has Been Really Great For Us'
If they make another JC game, I hope it's better than the god aweful effort that 4 was. Nothing like the 'much better' earlier ones. JC 2 was excellent fun. Every one since then seems to get worse.
Re: Xbox Is Releasing A New Firmware Update To Improve Controller Disconnect Issues
Haven't had many issues. A few controller hiccups and the odd quick resume crash but that's it. Not bad for less than 9 months.
Re: Here Are Your Xbox Games With Gold For July 2021
Nice collection for a change lol
Re: Xbox Cloud Gaming Is Now Officially Powered By 'Custom Xbox Series X Hardware'
Psychonauts loaded up within 5-10 secs. Bloody amazing tech.
Re: Xbox Cloud Gaming Is Now Available For All Windows 10 PCs And Apple Devices
Just tried it with Psychonauts and started within about 10 secs. Impressive. Keep it up M$
Re: Lawn Mowing Simulator Is Already A Surprising Hit With Xbox Fans
Jeff Minter's 'Hovver Bovver' brought up to date We just need the 'English Country Garden' as BGM
Re: Stalker 2: Heart of Chernobyl Enters The Zone On Xbox In April 2022
Looks so good. Nice to see quality lip syncing too. Game looks lush. Roll on 2022.
Re: Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit Remastered Is Coming To Xbox Game Pass This Month
@OliverOwen Already paid for it in the store. People should do the same. It's a classic.
Re: Video: Here's Your First Look At Far Cry 6 Gameplay, Releasing This October
@Hexamex-Tex Only saying. They did tend to re-use mechanics and assets.
Re: Video: Here's Your First Look At Far Cry 6 Gameplay, Releasing This October
Will it have towers to climb and liberate? will it have dodgy A.I that can spot you through bushes from a mile away? will it have honey badgers?
Re: Video: Watch Today's Far Cry 6 Worldwide Gameplay Reveal Here
Will it have titanium coated honey badgers?
Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Reportedly Has A New Game Director
@OliverOwen I wouldn't say "I can't wait" but having got it in December and not even tried it, I am curious. If only cause it cost me £45. Lesson learnt.
Re: Dying Light 2 Officially Gets Its Long-Awaited Release This December
Definitely on my shopping list!

Will it have titanium coated honey badgers?
Re: Xbox And Obsidian To Control 'Future Iterations' Of The Outer Worlds
Playing it again now on XSX (1st time on pc) and still liking it.
Re: Lies Of P Is Basically Pinocchio Meets Dark Souls Coming To Xbox Series X, We're Serious
@OliverOwen Same here
Re: Shadow Of The Tomb Raider Is 'Essential' With FPS Boost On Xbox Series X, Says Analysis
Have Shadow on Steam, but might double dip. Better sitting on the sofa than perched in front of a monitor. Especially when you have a 65" tv.
Re: Microsoft Kicks Off Its 20 Years Of Xbox Celebrations
Joined in 2008 when I got my 360. After a few years I didn't use it much. Kicked off again last December when the XSX arrived!
Re: Guide: All Current Xbox One Games Getting Series X Upgrades In 2021
Another reason I dont regret buying XSX over the PS5
Re: The 'World's First Xbox Controller To Include Dolby Atmos' Is Heading To North America
Would rather have the app and use the genuine wireless controller. Just like I did. This seems a more expensive way of doing it.
Re: Reaction: FPS Boost On Xbox Series X Just Keeps Getting Better And Better
@AFCC Not really. I got an LG with 120hz for £650 from Curry's. Good set too (LG 65UN85006LA 65"). It's £700 at the moment.
Re: Holy Moly, It Looks Like 50+ FPS Boosts Are Coming To Xbox Series X Next Week
M$ are on overdrive. Sweet!
Re: Deals: 'Golden Week Sale' Now Live On Xbox, 100+ Games Included
Doesn't show it here but I picked up Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen. I don't normally double dip as I have this on PC, but for just over £6 I couldnt resist. Also noticed that Steam has a sale on for Japanese games too.
Re: Hands On: Second Extinction Feels Tailor-Made For Xbox Game Pass
No single player campaign? that sucks
Re: Hood: Outlaws And Legends Will Feature Ray-Tracing On Xbox Series X
Hope it has a single player campaign.
Re: Random: Here's Zelda: Twilight Princess Running On Xbox Series X
@FraserG I don't think it's worth it. If I want to do anything like emulation, my pc is more than capable.
Re: Random: Here's Zelda: Twilight Princess Running On Xbox Series X
Would this muck up your guarantee?
