Re: Feature: X15 Media Showcase Event Review

@Gamer83 Yeah it was very understated in terms of promoting it, there were plenty of people attending though. Very much felt like a different focus to the PS Experience, it was more a case of putting Gamescom builds and upcoming releases in the hands of more gamers.

Re: Review: Gears of War: Ultimate Edition (Xbox One)

Been playing this (for the first time) and really enjoying the campaign so far, now I see why it was a big deal, whilst third person shooters have taken a lot of what was new in this and run with and iterated I still think this stands as an interesting footnote that still stands up. It very much took the corridor shooter and made it more interesting with it's cover mechanics, coupled with the claustrophobia caused by it's tight camera , juddering camera as you roadie run and large than life characters models really helps to hit this home.

Re: Review: Mega Man Legacy Collection (Xbox One)

hmmmm I think the intentions are different here somewhat....Capcom have come out and said through Digital Eclipse's Eclipse Engine their intention is for such games to be preserved and provided as they were. I'm surprised with that in mind they even provided the challenge modes. There's two ways of taking this...great digital versions that will always exist in some form or another for the day every NES cart dies or it's a cheap as chips cash in....Unfortunately it's easy to side with the second given that it's Capcom...

I really think beneath all of this there is a good game just perhaps not as well executed as it could be. Glitches aside from the Xbox version the Wii U version did not get incredible reviews either.

Re: Resident Evil 2 Remake Confirmed

@A_BabyRed_Yoshi I do kind of feel the same BUT like I said in the article Resi 2 is somewhat under utilized. There was the N64 and Gamecube ports but past that but not much else.

Re: Review: Rare Replay (Xbox One)

@EternalDragonX Yep I'm with you on that I wold have preferred you stayed in the game and they were somehow wrapped up in that but perhaps it's truly down to how the 360 virtual machine runs. Perhaps even just having Rare Replay running in the background is even too much.

Re: Games With Gold for August Brings Ground Zeroes and Three More

aducky84

Hmmmm am I only one who thinks there is something fishy here? After they just announced Xbox One will follow the 360 model of two titles available for half the month each. We get one month of being like that before we see them change their mind and we get MGS for the whole month of August and then How to Survive until September 16th? I wager we don’t see a second game in September….

Re: Rise of the Tomb Raider Exclusivity Deal Is Only Good For One Year

aducky84

@Captain_Chao5 Current gen though Sonic is yet to appear on Xbox One and PS4 due to their deal with Nintendo.

@KelticDevil so that is due to change with this release...they've said the original disc is the only one you will ever need and that all the DLC will be free. This won't stop them from releasing renamed versions however your quite right but at least early adopters won't be forced to either buy it or upgrade by a lesser fee (which happened on Steam with IV)

@KelticDevil @Anthinator I will definitely play Banjo again, we played the hell out of it as kids but pretty sure we didn't actually finish it.

I'm intrigued about Kameo it was one of those games I wanted and wasn't able to play.

As for PDZ well Perfect Dark was one of my favourite games on N64 (man that Chicago level) and it reviewed well at the time but I guess people really do hate it I'll still play it and beat it!

@TeslaChippie hmmm I'm not so sure about this. Do you feel the same way about Streetfighter V even though Sony are helping finance it's development? I think timed exclusives are kind of joke but if a developer wants to make is given enough incentive to make an existing franchise exclusive why shouldn't they?

It's also funny how you only hear the uproar when it's franchises people care about no one is bothered that Sonic only appears exclusively on Nintendo platforms.

Re: Rare Replay Installation is One of the Largest On Xbox One

It's kind of annoying. I was looking forward to having a disc with all that content. I wanted the disc version from a collectors point of view. I think the method they are using with issues digital copies of the 360 games is kind of sloppy to be honest and will they also fill out your apps and games collection or can they only be launched from Rare Replay, are you getting the digital licenses so that you can launch them separately without the disc in? I'm sure there are tech reasons why this is happening , as has been mentioned emulation is still a work in progress and bundling all those games and the emulator wrappers on a disc that's presumably already being pressed may just not have been possible.

I don't mind that much hopefully the game can play part installed because I want to play Knightlore first it's been so so long since I played that game!

Re: Review: F1 2015 (Xbox One)

aducky84

@A_BabyRed_Yoshi I think unfortunately their name isn't what it once was. As big a company as they are they haven't been able to keep up with biggest publishers and that's why we see below par releases like this. It's a real shame I've loved numerous F1 games down the years and this isn't going to be one of them.
