Sucks that no cross play is possible as that would have increased the player pool. Prolly the old players would have destroyed the X1 newcomers, so maybe it is a good thing.
Very good, comprehensive trailer, with a good mix of exclusives and multiplats, of recent and upcoming games. Thankfully Scalebound's delay will give me even more time to think and save.
Call me an ignorant but Gears 4 is something I have barely heard of. That sounds interesting. I still wish they remaster the other installments.
Yes, if I get an X1 it would, as the Wii U, be used solely for exclusives. I have to admit the PSN Store content has been underwhelming so far and I have felt like getting nothing there yet.
I do have the Wii U demo of this, played it this weekend with a friend and it was surprisingly fun, so I will probably get the full version, as it should be discounted.
They should have bundled Lego Dimensions in a deal similar to Sony scoring Bobba Fett in Disney Infinity. Just one game, and an old one at that won't cut it.
This actually sounds great. The only doubt I have is when it says you can play all Gears games with BC. Does that mean downloading them or do I need to hunt down the discs?
I frequent all three sites and yes, this one has the smallest and nicest community. The bigger the site the worst it gets. That is why I left IGN years ago.
If this was the whole trilogy, buying an X1 would be a no brainer, but still this puts up a good case. Since my bro likes couch co op shooters, this would fit the bill. And possibly Halo MCC too.
Capcom also said SFIV Arcade Edition would be the last SFIV iteration. And RE4 was a Gamecube exclusive...
They have a long history of not being true to their word and releasing new versions of old games. And with Xbox Live being more reliable than PSN and SFIV living or dying on online gaming, I expect to see V sooner or later on One. Capcom is too greedy to let go of that market.
Hey Dave, I did what you suggested and the dev actually replied back! They said they would not be able to implement it, since they have many versions, but that they could do so in a (if possible) sequel.
Weird thing that so few color based games actually care about us. It is as if the dev is sacrificing those sales. What I find odd is that in the first set of levels the rugs have set patterns so I can base myself on that, but not later in the lab since those are like clear colored panels.
BTW, I saw that you took my friend request on Wii U, thanks!
"which allow the game to be challenging, but also inviting to all gamers."
Unless those gamers are color blind. I am at the lab stages, where there are no textures so I can't tell green from yellow. Never picked up the game again.
Wow, great job guys! I never see Mountain Time as part of any schedule, so nice thinking on your part.
Besides Nintendo's I don't think I will watch any of the others, so I will be happy coming to see all the announcements and videos when you have them. Same for Push Square.

Re: So Long, And Thanks for All the Clicks
This really sucks. Thank you Ken for not selling out to the almighty clickbait. Your integrity will be sorely missed.
Also thank you to the rest of the staff and readers. I didnt spend a lot of time here but I enjoyed it.
Best of luck on your future projects!

Re: Get Excited for Xbox One's 2016 Lineup With This New Trailer
@DesignateTurian
Thanks. Maybe after seeing Halo MCC one expected to have more than one Gears remastered, but yes, the BC is an option to play the others.

Re: Review: A Boy and His Blob (Xbox One)
Loved this one on Wii. Those slowdowns sound unfortunate, as if they didnt optimize the game for the much more powerful X1.
Re: TMNT: Mutants in Manhattan Officially Announced...Finally
@shonenjump86
Same as Korra or Devastation. Seems Activision only cares for Wii U for their Skylanders.
Anyway, I see online co op, but no mention of offline or couch co op. Hoping it is there.

Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue Seventy Nine
Got a brand new PS4 thanks to @JaxonH so I may try downloading a few games off the PSN.
The rest will be Splatoon and the perennial Uncharted 3 with my bro. Wish the remaster had multiplayer.
Re: Review: Extreme Exorcism (Xbox One)
I do have the Wii U demo of this, played it this weekend with a friend and it was surprisingly fun, so I will probably get the full version, as it should be discounted.
Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue Seventy Five
I uploaded my third Mario Maker level and I played a little DI 1.0 to compare it with 3.0
Re: Here Are Two More Xbox One Bundles to Entice Buyers This Holiday
Man, is it really that hard to make a 1TB white console?
Re: Everything Is Awesome In This LEGO Movie Videogame Bundle
@Anthinator
The bundle links in the article do not seem to be working for me.

Re: Microsoft Stuffs Three Exclusive Games in New Xbox One Holiday Bundle
@Red620Ti
Thanks. Since I never had a 360 I am very interested in Gears so it is nice to just get a XBO and download the old games.
Re: Microsoft Stuffs Three Exclusive Games in New Xbox One Holiday Bundle
@TitanReCore
I also want a white XBO. I just love how it looks, and the SSO bundle was hard to find thus very expensive.

Re: Phil Spencer Finds the Console Wars "Distasteful"
He makes a great point.

Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue Seventy Three
Splatfest today so Splatoon. My new copy of Mario Maker arrived so maybe I will pick it up. Also have DI 3.0 on my plate.
Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue Seventy Two
Splatoon. And Disney Infinity. I got a lot of toys yesterday and today I am getting the Merida and Stitch Base.
Re: Review: Disney Infinity 3.0 Edition (Xbox One)
Hey guys, nice to see you managed to review this. Thanks!
Re: Out Today: Disney Infinity 3.0 Edition (Xbox One / Xbox 360)
@SuperKMx
Thanks for replying, I hope at least either Nintendo Life or Push Square try to review it.
Re: Out Today: Disney Infinity 3.0 Edition (Xbox One / Xbox 360)
Guys, can we expect a review from you?
Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue Seventy
@flameboy84
Did not know about Nintendo fund it Runbow but makes sense. Game is a gem and not sure other platforms could handle 9 local players.
Besides that one I will be playing Splatoon, Shantae 1 and 3D Gunstar Heroes.

Re: Ubisoft Announce Just Dance: Disney Party 2 for Xbox One and Xbox 360
Love the sarcasm on this one.
And for the record, that was not sarcasm
Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue Sixty Nine
I will continue with Shantae 1 and I may pick up Gunstar Heroes 3D and the Bridge on Wii U.
Hopefully the amiibo gang will be ready to play Splatoon in squads.
Re: Rumour: Microsoft Planning Disc-less Xbox One Mini Console
This should need to be like $150 for me to part ways with something as big as physical media compatibility. If it is even true to begin with.
Re: Review: Q.U.B.E: Director’s Cut (Xbox One)
I assume no concessions to color blind people here? It would be a shame because it looks great.
Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue Sixty Seven
Splatoon, Shantae 1 and Uncharted 3 co op.
Re: Hideki Kamiya Implores Fans Not to Judge Scalebound Protagonist Drew Just Yet
IMO I am finding this one more annoying and cliched than Dante, who was created 15 years ago. Plus an impressive backstory wont make him likeable.
Re: Gamescom 2015: Halo 5 Guardians Custom Console and Controller Shown Off
I feel the price a bit on the high side. Would rather get the white Halo Xbox.
Re: Attention! Capcom Wants Fan Feedback for Possible Resident Evil 2 Remake
Have the 4th Survivor unlocked from the start.
Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue Sixty Five
The original Shantae on 3ds. Uncharted 3 and Killzone 3 in mp and Splatoon.
May go to a friend's house for some Nintendo themed couch mp.
Re: Rise of the Tomb Raider Exclusivity Deal Is Only Good For One Year
@flameboy84
Capcom also said SFIV Arcade Edition would be the last SFIV iteration. And RE4 was a Gamecube exclusive...
They have a long history of not being true to their word and releasing new versions of old games. And with Xbox Live being more reliable than PSN and SFIV living or dying on online gaming, I expect to see V sooner or later on One. Capcom is too greedy to let go of that market.
Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue Sixty Three
I need to go back to Splatoon as there are 2 weapons and a map I havent tried. On 3ds I will start 3d Space Harrier.
@Jairo_MC
Seeing your avatar reminds me I need to open Revengeance. If you want to add me for Splatoon my NNID is sinalefa.
Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue Sixty One
Splatoon on Wii U, Uncharted 3 on PS3 and Harmoknight and Curtain Call on 3ds.
Re: E3 2015: Xbox One Backward Compatibility Confirmed
Yes, this is huge to me too since I never had a 360.
Re: E3 2015: Gears of War: Ultimate Edition Is Official and It's Coming Soon
I wanted a trilogy but I won't really complain. I could still play those with BC.
Re: Rumour: Former Wii U Exclusive ZombiU Currently in Development for Xbox One
If it is true, I hope Ubisoft takes the time and effort to fix the plethora of bugs and the lackluster graphics.
Re: Microsoft Officially Announces 1TB Xbox One, Controller, Drops 500GB Price
Wow, I missed this announcement. Nice to see Pachter wrong as usual and to have a bigger X1 before I took the plunge.
Re: E3 2015: New Unannounced Title from Platinum to Be Shown
That collection is already available, so I don't want that.
Knowing P* it may be another new IP. Hopefully on PS4 and X1.

Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue Fifty Nine
I will be playing Splatoon and Hyrule Warriors, I bought a Pro Controller for the latter, so no more losing juice mid game.
And I have this itch for finally trying Revengeance on PS3.

Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue Fifty Eight

I will also be knee deep in the inky Splatoon. I will be sure to send you an invite. My NNID is the same as here: sinalefa.
Re: Review: Wolfenstein: The Old Blood (Xbox One)
You managed to make this review. Way to go team!
Re: Out Today: Spy Chameleon (Xbox One)
The game is nice, but should be nicer on us color blind people. All colors should have textures on them.
Re: Limited Edition White Xbox One Master Chief Collection Hardware Bundle Announced for US
I want one of these. Love the White X1 and MCC would be a great game to start with.
