AFAIK this was only made possible due to a deal being struck between Microsoft (being the owners of RARE + the code/assets), Nintendo (being the license holder for the original game) and Amazon (current owners of the James Bond franchise).

Basically, MS couldn't release it without Nintendo, Nintendo couldn't put it on NSO without MS, and neither of them could do anything without Amazon (but that's less important when it comes to game platforms I guess).

'Games' (used loosely) like this.

Lots of shovelware appearing on stores this generation. Past generations these people would've never been given devkits.

The industry is going strong - still moving over 1m total HW units per week, despite the economy.

Also, the Switch continues to absolutely kill it - nearly outselling PS and Xbox combined.

Somebody didn't actually read the article... but darth already pointed that out.

Also, Starfield is a 2023 game🤷

"Because the switch it's an hybrid console."

Which makes it no less of an achievement.

Oh Boy. Remember when it used to be hard to get approved for console devkits/stores? Nowadays Nintendo, MS and Sony will basically let anyone put anything up on their stores.

Are you trying to talk about the Series S? Weren't you just in another thread defending Forspoken, saying its visuals were awesome, the 720p game...

"they’re reusing the same car models as Forza 7 with no updates to them at all"

Source? That seems highly unlikely. Those models look too good to be models from 2017 games.

Higher resolution support, reworked textures, achievements and reworked controls. Emulators can't rework the game control mechanisms.

"Emulators have done this ages ago."

Most people don't have access to an emulator / the ability to set one up.

Also, it's not like they're charging $70 for it. It's included in game pass, and anyone who has Rare Replay from 2015 gets it for free.

No requirement to own a Series X to partake in Xbox discussions. Plus you can be an Xbox customer without an Xbox console - PCGP, Xcloud, etc.

I bought a PS5 because I game primarily on Sony platforms and have done so since PS1 🤷

I will no doubt own an Xbox before the end of the generation though.

So now we're pretending Forza doesn't look great? 😂 It looks better than any other console racer out there. DF are even floored by it: https://twitter.com/dark1x/...

"So I can't understand those graphics."

Apparently not, because you think they're worse than Forspoken, meanwhile anyone with basic eyesight can see they're bett...

You know it was a good presentation when the best criticism levied against it is:

"The show was too long and should have cut the music."

DF are 'floored' by it too:

I'd imagine the team that worked on Ghostwire is probably on, or moving onto a new EW. Leaving money on the table if they don't.

1124d ago 7 agree19 disagreeView comment

If you watch the event/video, it's a separate team and leader etc. - not Shinji.

That plus they just launched Ghostwire + you have no idea what else they're working on...

Anytime!

This looks breathtaking - but Forza games always do. Such an impressive game engine to be able to deliver these visuals, with real time raytracing at 4k60.

Welcome to next-gen racing.

Not sure which part appears unserious. But none of it isn't meant to be serious.

Starfield was never going to show up - they said this when they announced the event - Starfield has its own entire/dedicated event coming up. Heck, that game is huge and with the amount of hype behind it, they made the right decision to give it it's own event.

1124d ago 7 agree28 disagreeView comment

Didn't you watch the event? They showed the platforms at the end of each game.

Redfall and Hi-Fi are not coming to Xbox One.

So yes, they are next-gen games, not that that really matters. By your logic above, GoW Ragnarok is a bad game because it's cross-gen, and Forspoken is awesome since it's next gen only. See how broken that logic is?

Overall I thought it was a good presentation - and they still have the big hitter that ...

You're thinking of Dungeons - the dungeon crawler. This is a PvP strategy game.
