So, not fully on GP then but this is a pretty nice bonus for members who want to try the game out or get a head start 😁

The trailer did nothing for me at all but I'm still excited for it!
Gameplay reveal, 13th June you say? Same day as the MS show you say? The plot thickens 😏

I'm a massive fan of Cory Balrog, an amazing talent and a top bloke.
We all love Phil obviously.
This is a great story to start the week 😊

This is a real shame.
I understand that certain pads are exclusive to certain people, but a pad celebrating Pride should most certainly not be one of them.
A rare miss by MS here.
I'd have bought one in a heartbeat ☺️

I love stuff like this.
Looking forward to trying it out when I get there in the remake 😁

I'd love to see this mode added to the game by Capcom themselves. Never gonna happen but it would be an awesome addition to the game 😁

My friends and I play a lot of Halo and nothings more annoying than saving a clip of yourself getting an Extermination only to find it impossible to see! It happens to all of us, all the time 😒

Hi praise indeed and certainly not isolated. I've seen a load of similar articles and reviews 😊
I just don't see it though? My friends and I spent a couple hours playing and came away thoroughly unimpressed. Seems like something we'd really enjoy too!
Sorry to sound like a negative nelly. Anyone else out there not feeling it? 🤔

@WCB hahahaha glad it wasn't just me 😂

Dogma 2 has been at the top of my most wanted list since finishing the original!
Absolutely seminal game and a sequel cannot come soon enough.
If the flexibility and movement displayed in Monster Hunter Rise is anything to go by, the RE Engine will be a dream match 😍

I can totally get onboard with your love of this game mate, I had it on PS1 and absolutely loved it! 😁
Another random (should be rubbish) game I hold in very high regard is Toy Story 2 on PS1. Great game ☺️

Haha yeah, things like this are great ☺️

Downloading now.
This game is looking fantastic so I can't wait to try it out 😊

Wow, yeah, colour me impressed!
It's looks like it might be pretty dam good 🤔

I wasn't day one I have to admit but I bought one shortly after. My friend brought his over to show off Halo and I was sold. Bought the console with Halo and fell in love 😊

@Dezzy70 Same mate, I too am old haha

Colour me excited 😁

@BionicDodo It's well worth it I'd say mate. It's far from my personal favourite (and you've arguably played the pinnacle of the series) but it's worth playing for the soundtrack alone 😊
I'd also recommend FFIX, it's an absolute masterpiece 😍

@InterceptorAlpha I'm the same. Never played it back in the day so really looking forward to having a go now 😁

Yeah, I was a massive fan of these games back in the day ☺️

Imagine a remake of VIII 😍

Looks interesting.
The kind of game that could really sing on Gamepass 😊

I bought a new TV at the same time as my Series X so I could really take advantage of the new console.
I'm so glad I did, it's been a fantastic experience!
I've been hugely behind the tech curve for years so it feels exciting to read all these articles and be able to enjoy the benefits they talk about 😁

I've had a pre order down for ages but just recently cancelled it.
I'm super excited for the game, I'm a massive Resi fan, but the sheer volume of awesome Gamepass games right now means I already have so much to play! I have my sensible hat on it seems.
It makes me wonder how often this happens to other Xbox gamers? 🤔

I absolutely love The Division 2, it's a fantastic game!
This is such great news 😁

No mention of Hollow Knight now running at 120fps??
One of the greatest games ever made now even better is a thing of beauty ☺️

Please, make it so 😁

I'm just happy to see Superman 64 get a shout out. What a game 😂

Amazing news 😁
My friends and I still play regularly (we love SWAT) and have a blast.
4k 120fps Halo is a thing of beauty too 😊

@SegataSanshiro Certainly makes sense 😁

I wonder if that includes campaign progression too? 🤔
Not a major issue if not of course ☺️

A couple friends and I are looking forward to this one.
We're not expecting greatness but it looks like a decent amount of fun for an evening or two 😄
Who knows, may end up GotY 😂

On a serious note. I was a MASSIVE fan of the original Lost Planet. Huge.
But when the sequel got panned I decided to skip it. Big mistake.
My friend and I decided to play through it at the very end of the 360's life and boy oh boy did we have fun! With some friends that game is incredibly good

Superman 64. What a game 😂

I've only played solo and stuck to WT4 but I'm having a really good time playing it! It's a lot of fun with all the classes but Trickster is incredible

@Krzzystuff They added a 'Maiden Voyage' which you can launch from the title screen. It's a lovely little intro to the game and definitely worth checking out even for long time players too!

I just recently hit level 100 on Season 1, it was an absolute blast!
Cannot recommend the game enough, it's just so much fun with a mate or three

Don't sleep on Hard Corps Uprising people, it's an absolute gem of a shooter!

@InterceptorAlpha I'm exactly the same in that regard. Halo 2 and particularly the Arbiter are one of the real highlights of the Halo franchise 😊

I have a save horror story that still haunts me to this day.
30+ hours into Tomb Raider The Last Revelation on the Dreamcast.
I was right near the end and just missed a jump. As I was falling to my death, I hit pause seconds before impact and hit Load.
By this point I was very quick at the reload process. Too quick.
Navigating the menu like a speedrunner I hit Save instead of Load.
The horror.
CRUNCH
I loaded my game.
CRUNCH
Again and again I reloaded, hoping for a different outcome. There wasn't one.
All my progress lost and to this day I can't face going back to finally finish it haha

@InterceptorAlpha Sorry to hear you didn't enjoy it mate. Personally I preferred it to the original. I can understand and appreciate being bitterly disappointed by a sequel though (Ni No Kuni)

My friends and are all over this tonight. We won't sleep until we've completed it all
Such a great way to honour a fallen pirate.

Very tempted by that Guardians Edition I must say 🤔
Looks like the kind of game I could really get into.

One of the jewels in Xbox's crown.
My friends and I have played this regularly now for years and we have SO many incredible memories!
The game is an absolute joy.
Co-operative, sandbox gaming just doesn't get any better than this

@everynowandben How long have you got?? Haha
The gameplay is smooth, tight and flawless.
The setting is beautiful. The story is fantastic. The soundtrack is stunning. It makes you really think. Chasing all the endings is an incredibly enjoyable challenge. Some wonderful humour too!
I absolutely love it. I don't drop the word 'masterpiece' about often but I feel it's utterly warranted here

I cannot recommend Nier Automata enough. It's a seminal game
I'm looking forward to giving Star Wars Squadrons a bash.

Really? REALLY?? A year?! Where on Earth did that go?!
That seems insane haha
It's been amazing, what a year for a comeback.
Like many on here, I check the site at least half a dozen times a day. It's the only site I use for my Xbox news.
Thanks for all the hard work Fraser and the rest of the Pure Xbox family this year, here's to many, many more!

I'm off! I've heard there's a riot over at Push Square!!

@Dezzy70 I never upgraded to a One X and never bought a 4K TV. I was well behind the tech curve so for this gen I decided to go all in and get myself bang upto date with it all.
A great decision so far.

@Senua Amazing mate!
I'm lucky enough to currently be enjoying a Series X and a next gen ready TV.
I've had a couple hiccups but ultimately it's been a pretty phenomenal experience so far
