Just the fact that he writes remake/remastered tells me that it’s a remastered. A remake is a huge undertaking but it would be awesome to see the first game with the same graphical quality as the sequel.
I find the difference between XSX and PS5 quite big, much more dramatic than Cyberpunk for exemple. Sony have begin rolling out their VRR update on their TVs so the PS5 itself shouldn’t far behind but I still think that falling back on VRR to have “steady” framerate just excuses poor optimization. Fromsoft games are always all over the place in term of framerates when they come out (not counting remastered and remakes here) and they don’t really care about really fixing it. They are master artists and game designers but they have a ***** engine to work with it seems
Going by that list I now realize that I'm not a big fan of the games Activision publishes. Beside the Spyro remakes, which I have not played, none of these interest me. Compared with the library we got with the Bethesda's deal, I really don't care if any of these come to gamepass.
Like 99% of third party games I still will get it on XSX over PS5 because Microsoft let me use the controller I want to use and for a game like this I need my back buttons
@Richnj yup, at first it will be enough for the people owning these to just "own" something nobody else does but after a while, if this thing really catch on, people will demand owning items that really make a difference in term of gameplay and the publishers will gladly make it so.
I remember all too well when Deus Ex Human Revolution came out, the only way to have a sniper rifle with a silencer in the game was via a preorder dlc AND it was exclusive to amazon if I remember correctly. That gun, for me, changed how I played the game in certain circumstances and opened gameplay possibilities not available without it. So yeah, *****
It sucks for people with slow/limited internet connection. Maybe the game is all there but microsoft made it so that it needs an “unlock” on the 8th just so people can’t play in advance
Still don’t get why no dishonored 2. They did death of the outsider and it’s a standalone expansion of D2. Weird. AC: Origins might a boost from Ubi themselves since they did it for Odyssey but I’m not holding my breath
@NotoriousWhiz yes this is why people are frustrated. XP boosts are common that’s not the point. It’s making sure people feel forced to buy one if they, at least, want the same xp rate they’ve been used to for months. THAT is ***** scummy
Liked what I was seeing in the trailer until the timer feature appeared, then it was a big nope. If I had nothing to play, maybe but it’s sure isn’t the case right now
Am I the only one who’s getting invisible menus with the update?
Just at the beginning after pressing A. I can hear the options being selected when I press the D-Pad but the menu itself is invisible.
I downloaded it twice and also restarted my console, still happening.
EDIT: Ok, looks like it’s a widespread issue and they are investigating it just so you all know
@Enigk a score alone is meaningless, it's the why that counts and in this case nothing is worse than a boring open world and quests structure, no matter how beautiful it might be
So now we have Dishonored Def. Ed., Death of the Outsider but not Dishonored 2? That sucks, it is the one game I wanted to be included. Well, maybe next time
@Relygon I fully finished it and all the way through this is all I was thinking about. Give me 60fps over that low quality RT any day. Still, I enjoyed the game a lot but I'm not touching the upcoming story DLC until we get that update

Re: Roundup: Saints Row Reboot Impresses In Early Previews
I think because it's coming out during summer that it has a chance but if it gets pushed back to oct/nov then it's DOA.

Re: Waiting For Tunic On Xbox Game Pass? Don't Get Your Hopes Up
I'm always happy to pay for great indie games when they are not on gamepass. But if it's more than 40$ I'll wait for a discount

Re: Xbox Exec 'Doesn't Know' If FPS Boost Will Return In The Future
I just can't believe they didn't do Dishonored 2 after doing Death of the Outsider.
Re: Poll: Which Xbox 360 Era Halo Game Are You Playing This Week?
None because I’m playing Fallout 3 (for the first time) with the fps boost 😃
Re: Bad News, Stalker 2 Has Been Delayed To December 2022
@DrJamesOxford now I start believing a date just after two delays
Re: Pick One: Which Is Your Favourite Game In The Mass Effect Trilogy?
A version of ME2 with the updated combat of ME3 would make it an 11/10

Re: Rumour: Assassin's Creed Valhalla Getting '40-Hour, God Of War-Style' Expansion In 2022
@Nerdfather1 no it means supernatural like the dlcs for odyssey et origins before. There’s been a lot of leaks pointing to it already
Re: Halo Infinite's Disc Reportedly Doesn't Include The Full Game
It sucks for people with slow/limited internet connection. Maybe the game is all there but microsoft made it so that it needs an “unlock” on the 8th just so people can’t play in advance
Re: Xbox Exec Clarifies Why FPS Boost Is Finished On Series X|S For Now
Still don’t get why no dishonored 2.
They did death of the outsider and it’s a standalone expansion of D2. Weird.
AC: Origins might a boost from Ubi themselves since they did it for Odyssey but I’m not holding my breath
Re: All Games With FPS Boosts On Xbox Series X And Xbox Series S
No Dishonored 2 or AC: Origins?
The only two games I wanted to replay with fps boost, damn it.
Re: Marvel's Avengers First-Look At Its Upcoming Raid Is Met With Backlash

Re: Rumour: Seven Original Xbox Games That Could Be Getting Backwards Compatibility
I won’t be replaying any of them but damn I loved the Full Spectrum Warriors games back then
Re: Ghost Recon Frontline Is Met With Tremendous Backlash On YouTube
It’s just PR, bad PR. But you’ll get much more attention if you make huge changes to an existing franchise instead of a new game with a generic title.
It’s like changing the race or sexual orientation of an already established character in comics.
But yeah, it sucks. Just imagine what we could end up with with the next assassin creed.
Re: The Official New Xbox Stereo Headset Is Now Available
Does it have the same noticeable lag the wireless one have though? Because that’d be a deal breaker right there.
Also, do you have access to the equilizer settings with this one as well?
Re: Video: Sable Gets A Gameplay Trailer Ahead Of Xbox Game Pass Launch Next Week
Demo was alright but I hope the final release will have a 60fps option because nothing in this game demands a 30fps cap on next gen.

One of my favorite games on last gen. Played it twice but this update will make me go through it once again with my NG+ save file
Re: Bandai Namco Denies Scarlet Nexus Will Launch On Xbox Game Pass
It would have been great. Liked the demo but not enough to buy it full price.

@Krzzystuff I really hope we get a release date for the Ascent. The lack of updates since they delayed it into 2021 scares me
Re: 10 Games We'd Love To See Get An FPS Boost On Xbox Series X
@everynowandben yeah I know NOW but the way they phrased it was sounding like they had to work with them to achieve it
Re: Random: Power Your Dreams With This Todd Howard Xbox Packaging

Re: 'Handful' Of Bethesda Games To Receive FPS Boosts On Xbox Series X|S
@TimG13 YES, YES AND YES.
At the very least Dishonored 2
Re: These 20 Games Will Be Available On Xbox Game Pass Tomorrow (March 12)
I just want a XSX upgrade for Dishonored 2
Re: Poll: Do You Think The Elder Scrolls 6 Will Be Exclusive To Xbox?
I guess so but we don't know if there's already something signed with Sony behind close doors for that game
