Microsoft has always pushed the industry. First with only an Ethernet port, no dial up. Yet gamers cried and whined, thankfully there wasn't social media at the time. First HDD on a console, first with Achievments, first with Party Chat.
Had they fixed the 24 hour check in and been on the same page as a company, who knows?

Kotaku posted not 1, but 2 articles today about Xbox One exclusives they were "worried" about. People still don't believe that the games "media" panders to the vocal minority like NeoGAF?

Quantum Break looks amazing, and Remedy haven't let me down yet, and Halo 5 looks amazing. I wish these sites would stop pandering....

Actually, he says they wouldn't do it. The rumor earlier in the year was that another developer would do a new game in the series. Rare has so many IP that it's obvious they wouldn't be able to revisit them all in house.
I mean Iron Galaxy has done brilliant with Killer Instinct, I believe Rare are probably working on a new Battletoads and of course Sea Of Thieves.
Rumor was Insomniac Games working on a new Conker, maybe get Twisted Pixel in on a classic Rare IP?...

Congrats Rare! I love that this compilation serves as a reminder of great things from the past, as we eagerly await the future and Sea Of Thieves and whatever else you have planned. Amazing game!

I'd actually have to turn on my PS4 within the last 3 months to get this error....sadly, I haven't.

Nah, who wants to play games you already bought? It's all about paying again to stream those games via a DRM service.

Thanks, we appreciate it. We have a good time, and it's nice to know we have some fans in a hostile place like N4G. #XboxIsTheBestBox

Frank is the man, I think he and 343i tease these fanboy sites like Digital Foundry, which thrive on the insecure console war kids. At the end of the day, when you need machines to measure pixel counts or FPS, does it really need measuring?
Glad Halo 5 is shaping up to be the masterpiece we all knew it would be, and that leaked music is absolutely phenomenal.

Spring release per Microsoft. Spring comes before Summer, yes? :)

Next summer can't get here fast enough, good thing I'll have Halo 5, Forza 6, Rise Of The Tomb Raider, Fable Legends, Gears Ultimate, Battlefront, Recore, Quantum Break, Killer Instinct Season 3 to tide me over until then ;)

This looks like so much fun! Cannot wait to get my Halo 5 on!

This gen? Destiny, The Order 1886, DriveClub, COD AW and most indie games that people hyped up.

Not really, I haven't even played staple JRPGs like Final Fantasy. Action RPGs are definitely more my thing, with the exception of South Park The Stick Of Truth, which was a fine turn based RPG.

Hello third Xbox One! I guess the office can use a TV and Xbox....

3864d ago 12 agree11 disagreeView comment

I'm not big on traditional JRPG games, but since this isn't turn based and it has co-op I'm thinking it looks fantastic. can't wait for it to release next year.

This is such an added value! Mass Effect Trilogy, Dragon Age Trilogy, Dead Space Trilogy and more!

I'm not allowed to talk about it, but there's a FAQ on the Lionhead site.

This is a fine one, two buckle your shoe. First they skip Gamescom (the biggest EU gaming event) and now they're raising prices for PSN+. A service that has been spotty at best.

They've done a really poor job at explaining it. Probably because they've focused too much on the 4v1 multiplayer.
You can play offline and solo-
The game is an RPG with story and quests-
You have 3 companions, either AI or friends-
The multiplayer is optional-

I never heard it as a "win" for Microsoft when they had this deal. To me the DLC never mattered and I bought every COD on Xbox platforms since COD2.
I think people will continue to buy it on the platform they prefer, but don't count out the stability of Xbox Live as a reason people buy Xbox versions. No scheduled maintenance, less downtime than the competition.
