"Limiting Xbox One Preview access at a time when backward compatibility is coming also takes away some goodwill Microsoft had earned. The system and company aren't doing badly, but they are second this generation. Suddenly giving users something good, but then limiting the number who can try it first, doesn't seem like a smart business decision."
First and foremost EVERYBODY on xbox gets BC in november. This becomes a non issue in the next two months.Secondly i...
"the absence of Metal is also mostly notable."
The music industry follows the trends set by youth culture. The reason you dont see many metal acts in UK charts anymore is because most british youth dont really listen to it. rolling stones or kiss can still sell out wembley stadium, but the audience will be made up mostly of people over 40. And they dont buy records like they used to, if at all.
Beyond that, metal is doing nothing fresh or innovative, to ...
"So basically because it's an OST it's not suppose to be in the pure Official Classical Artist Albums Chart, but it can be in the The Classic FM Chart or Official Soundtrack Albums Chart."
Yup. I work in the music industry,and have produced both popular and specialist music for other forms of media. and after reading the article...while I do sympathise, because it fits into classical music charts. I fully understand why they withdrew it.Perhaps if they released...
"us PC gamers "
Speak for yourself..and maybe the small number of core steam users of which less than half have a descent enough rig to even play a game at satisfactory settings. Ill buy PC games wherever I get the best deal.
And given that W10 is already in tens of millions of PCs..all of which have that store front and center, giving all those people access to fable legends for FREE..I dont think they will lose out much.
"What I am angry about is the bold face lie it was to say they were going to support Steam."
*sigh*.... get over it. Not like they been moving mountains for PC gamers these last few years. And given that you said yourself that you dont trust them and expect as much....why are you surprised and then angered about it?
Just let it go. Not like you cant play the game on PC. But as you said you were not buying this anyway...which makes this whole exchang...
"But I guess if you're all up in Microsoft's behind lying doesn't even phase you."
LOL..it doesnt phase me because I was getting for XB1 anyway. It doesnt phase me because I dont work for valve. But yeah..your pointless reasoning to my comment makes perfect sense too...I must be up MSS ass, If I dont care that they are not publishing their games on rival service.I didnt care when they said they were going to support steam...was I up MSS then, too?
I am not even remotely surprised. Its their IP so they can make it available where they want. And if you have yur own storefront why the hell not make it exclusive to your storefront?
"however, since UC4 has been delayed, the exclusivity doesnt make sense...."
Im sure the money made sense to them. Dont presume to know what these companies are thinking. What does not make sense to you as a PS gamer makes sense to the guy doing the books. by the Time UC4 comes out, TR will still be xbox exclusive so its not entirely wasted. Not like every xbox owner is going to buy TR this fall, with all the other games coming out. So that means they have one year of ...
"All of a sudden it's just a HD remaster?"
Its assets are redone..not upscaled. its a remake NOT a remaster.
"So funny how none of these commentors comment on reviews praising this remaster yet flock to the lone negative one and say "seems legit". "
Bingo! funny how the countless reviews that gave this game 9 and above didnt seem to sit at the top of the page, yet the two reviews that gave it low scores did...and with it a boat load of comments from PSfanboys who were absent in ALL of those other positive reviews.
How do people think this goes unnotice...
Agreed. aside from sales, what else does MS need to "catch up" on? The upcoming games are looking great and the future looks even better as an owner of an xbox.
Yh I heard of giantbomb. I wouldnt call them a big site either.
Not really concerened about the score. More like just having a chuckle about it. Gears is great I know it. Most people agree. And most of the reviews have been 9+. Not bothered by 5 or 6 sites I never visited anyway giving it a low score.
I think TR will do fine. It only has to worry about selling well on XB1 anyway. I am sure it will do well and I am sure it will find its way under many Xmas trees. MS were smart to give away a TR game on XBL this month.
I remeber this game. It was awful. VF2 was king of 3d fighters at the time, followed by tekken. This game was just one of many pretenders.
This is going to be a heavy month for me.
FM6, MGS V, and I pre ordered destiny taken king bundle, so Ill be joining my friends on that finally.And Ill finally play tearaway!
@gravv
You...trolling...get out.
"unfortunately that requires an always online console. That was MS goal and is seems they are slowly implementing it through "cloud" compute titles."
My console is always connected to the internet. I dont have a problem with it. I also tend to play MP games more than SP games.
"The problem is that not everyone wants to be always online (some can't) and the gotcha's that come with it."
And MS dont sell the xbox in...
"It is apparent that Gears of War Ultimate Edition has been put under the knife by a skilled team of surgeons to make a nine year old title look like it was made for the current generation. The make over is not only skin deep but goes right to the core of the gameplay with tweaked controls, new acts to discover and also a more beefed out multiplayer experience."
Add to that the,redone assets.the 5 extra chapters. The 1080P-60FPS output and dedicated servers and its pr...
"Either remake or GTFO."
...Or just make the old one backwards compatable. dat options, baby!:)
"How can it draw in new crowds or generate interest when it's not even given the benefit of the doubt."
Crazy as this sounds, it is given the benefit of the doubt. Rock and metal artists face far less hurdles than electtronic and urban arists, but the general public simply isnt really interested in it anymore.Its the buying audience that decide if labels should invest. Its all supply and demand. And that demand comes from innovation...love or loathe hip hop/R&B...
