@MaccaMUFC Now corrected.

To be fair, it was about 4:30am...

Oh well. Sometimes we forget things after 1,000s of articles.

@Red620Ti Oh yeah, cos THAT'S what was stopping me from playing it...

@Ryno I'd be massively surprised if that ended up being true, but it matters not. As long as the games comes out, I'm happy!

@andrew20 Very reliable.

In fact, my launch day original Xbox from 2002 still works absolutely perfectly!

@ShadowPandora It does indeed. There was a bit of confusion. Now fixed.

@A_BabyRed_Yoshi Hmm, might be a regional thing...it's working for me.

@stylon Looks to be US and Canada only, from what I can see looking at the stores. US and Canada is $6.60, Europe is still EUR19.99, UK is £15.99.

That's strange...

(For the record, turns out the Outlands Pack that you get with the Season Pass for TRON RUN/r was released on 31st May...no announcement.)

@stylon Pretty much summed up my feelings on the genre with that last couple of lines. I feel pretty much exactly the same way.

@Falco1863 What ShadowPandora said...give it a spin during E3. NHL 17 isn't all that far off, so it might be worth waiting anyway.

@stylon At the new pricepoint, it's probably worth a shot. There's been no new season pass content released as yet and absolutely nothing mentioned about it. I have a feeling that it isn't going to turn up at all at this rate, but that's just a guess...

Aaaaaaaaaand the winner is Twitter user TheRPGDud3 - congratulations to you! Thanks for entering, folks! More contests coming soon.

@MegaKillScreen I was working around the annoyances too, but as you fear, the loading screens combined with the amount of times I had to sit through them due to bugs or failures that weren't necessarily my fault made the last three tours of the single player campaign into an absolute chore.

The fact the penultimate level is a few levels in one, linked by warp zones, means that it takes three to four times as long to load, too. I was lucky - genuinely, I've no idea how I sunk the putt - and managed to get bronze on the second attempt. I'm glad I didn't have to reload that one more than once, for sure!

@liamistheking Nothing. You're already registered.

@manu0 No. Load up the Xbox Preview Dashboard app and you'll see if you're registered to "Preview - Latest Xbox One Experience" or not.

If you are, you're set.

@Tasuki Absolutely God, that match was dire...

@Grawlog Goldberg hasn't been around since 2003, but he showed up in a couple of independent shows in 2015. That, and this WWE 2k17 announcement is leading folks to believe that he might show up in WWE again soon.

@KelticDevil "And there is no excuse for Platinum not delivering on this game. Anyone that tells you any different, tell them to.......nevermind."

As a software developer, I would say there are a number of reasons why this hasn't turned out the way it should. Not making excuses as I don't know their development policies, management practices, staffing levels, budgets, or anything like that.

But I know that I've started software projects for clients and had management constraints, budget cuts, and moving deadlines restrict the scope of what I was making and eventually the software was worse as a result. If someone said there was "no excuse" and that I wasn't good enough at my job because I couldn't do 12 months work in 3 weeks, I wouldn't be best pleased.

@Captain_Chao5 Yup, that's where it suddenly gets a lot more difficult, I found.

@jongred Awesome! Glad you're enjoying it!

Once again, if we're going to be posting walls of text, let's move it to the forums, eh?

@Souldin That reminds me that I need to renew my Retro Gamer subscription...such a great mag!

@jongred Absolutely agree. Releasing two games in a month based on the same thing (more or less) is absolutely nuts. It's probably safe to bet that they'll be identical games with different menus.

@stylon Updated the release date.

As for price, the only price we have is £39.99, but the press release doesn't state if that's RRP, physical, digital, or what. I'd assume its the RRP so should be that price when it hits the digital store.

@Tasuki Ah, I didn't see that one. Fair point.

I agree with you that someone needs to sit 'em both down and have a chat. I don't think they'll ever get together on anything otherwise!

@BAMozzy I see what you're saying, but I guess it depends on the target market. If they release an Xbox One "Slim" this year for £199 or something, they'll hit that portion of the market that hasn't upgraded yet and also look like a nice option at Christmas against a shelf full of £299 or even £349 PS4 Neos that - to the non-hardcore player - look like they run very similar games.

I agree that it wouldn't be the decision I'd make if I was in charge if I had a new console ready to go within the next 12 months, but I can sort of see their thinking. Sort of...

@andrew20 Indeed we will...

@Captain_Chao5 They'll be separate so you can get them again, since the new games are remasters so counted as entirely separate on the achievements list.

@Tasuki When did Sony say that, please?

I might be wrong, but all I've seen is that they said they'd be "happy to have the conversation with any publishers or developers who are interested in cross platform play."

That could be "we don't have a problem with it" but could just as easily be "we don't have a problem with it if you pay us a $ 2million licence fee per player."

@Grawlog I guess. It appears to be the first thing that comes into my head when I'm thinking of non-specific header images. "Hmm...deals...money... HERE COMES THE MONEY, SHANE 'O MAC! Done. Time for a bagel."

@crippyd I don't have it, but I'd assume if you select Dark Souls in My Games and Apps, and choose "Manage Game" it'll show up in the Ready To Install bit in there...

LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean is on my list this week for sure. Cheap as chips.

@TwilightOniAngel Given that a lot of the games from last gen aren't "garbage" and that a lot of people already own these games and releasing them isn't impacting on new game development at all, I think you're on your own.

@Utena-mobile Both available on Xbox 360, as far as I remember.

@stylon "Seems to be a bit of profiteering going on as I'm sure it wasn't that expensive when the news first broke?" - Undoubtedly. The prices are all from third-party sellers, as opposed to Amazon themselves.

As for the "2 games" thing, that happens when you're playing a B/C title, since you're logged in to the Xbox One and the Xbox 360 at the same time, technically.

Many thanks for entering, prizes have now been sent out. Our winners are:-

Congratulations!

@A_BabyRed_Yoshi Afraid not...still waiting on a date for mods.

@Dawntracker Amen, brother...amen.

@A_BabyRed_Yoshi Midnight tonight, I believe.

@narcoss "So now i think you understand how £6 would not a lot."

I understand how £6 is "not a lot" compared to Super Street Fighter (which I paid £79.99 for.) That doesn't mean that we review games based on what games USED to cost.

We review games based on the current marketplace. If a game is unplayable and costs £1.00, it doesn't get 10/10 because once we paid £99.99 for Samba De Amigo. It gets reviewed based on the quality of the game, along with consideration of what other games are available - and their prices - at the time that it was released.

@narcoss "£6.00 what do expect"

I expect a game that's as playable as many of the other £6 games that are available.

@frito I'll have to check out the updates! Thanks for reading and have a good weekend yourself (though there's not much left of it now!)

@EternalDragonX Nobody has been let go, and Project Spark was a game creation tool, as opposed to a game.

@Ps4all Nope, it's open to all.

@stylon Any game that contains Dr. Beat by Gloria Estefan is an instant classic, for my money...

@stylon I can't see that it would be any more repetitive than anything else, to be honest. I've got faith, especially since the devs were behind Burnout and Burnout Crash!, the latter of which was relatively one-note but still managed to be excellent fun.

@Tasuki Me either. Fortunately I've got Daytona USA 2001 on the Dreamcast, but it ain't the same. Daytona IS available on Xbox Live Arcade for 360 though...

@Beardedgooslaps Rooooooooooooolllling STAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAART!

@A_BabyRed_Yoshi I imagine the kind that knows they'll shift millions of copies of all three.

@Beardedgooslaps eBay, if you're incredibly lucky
