They've just announced support for multi-disk games, so titles like LA Noire, Max Payne 3, Lost Odyssey and Mass Effect 2&3 will start being added to the BC list... I'm pretty sure they're holding Redemption (and Undead Nightmare) back, so they can be included as pre-order bonuses for the next Red Dead - like the deal where Quantum Break came with Alan Wake and it's dlc, or Dark Souls 3 with Dark Souls 1.
Sorry, but LA Noire was actually developed by Team BONDI (as in Bondi Beach, Australia) - Team Bondage is an altogether different 'game'... That said, it's a shame we never got 'Whore of the Orient' - Shanghai would of made a great film-noir setting.
The first Xbox had a bunch of great Star Wars titles... the 'Knights of the Old Republic' games were brilliant, as was Pandemic's take on 'Battlefront' - not to mention 'Republic Commando' and 'Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy'.
One could argue it was the golden-age for Star Wars games - Last-gen's best Star Wars titles were Lego-based and DICE'S current-gen 'Battlefront' was not the game I was looking for... That said, Bioware a...
50/50?
You sure you're not confusing Shinobi with Tidux or Thuway? Cos those guys are guessers, but Shinobi is almost always right... As to 'his' identity, my theory is 'he' doesn't exist - it's just a really elaborate marketing ploy, designed to float 'controversial' news and make hardcore gamers feel 'clever'.
Green dragon, Blue dragon... a metaphor for the console wars?
Might explain Blizzard's 'diplomatic' approach to Overwatch's marketing... or nothing at all.
Either way, Blizzard have done an incredible job with these shorts... establishing characters in such a time-frame has gotta be tricky, though I guess a lot of this stuff is 'salvaged' from the MMO - which is even more impressive, considering they've already recycled that MMO into a t...
I've been looking into it and Molyneux says he'd be happy to come back for another Fable... once he's 'finished' his current projects - which, knowing him, could take years.
Fable 2 wasn't perfect, but it did have a whimsy I've only ever encountered in Zelda games, along with a darker, more twisted side... returning to your character's family after spending a decade slaving in the 'dark tower', seeing how the world had changed, playin...
Yeah, they've had more than enough time to ensure that the XO 'version' of RDR is the best one available (performance-wise), but I reckon they're holding it back so it (and the Undead Nightmare DLC) can be included as a pre-order bonus for the next Red Dead (which R* are SO CLOSE to announcing)... Similar to the deal with Quantum Break coming with Alan Wake and it's DLC, or Dark Souls 3 with Dark Souls 1 - which I think is a great incentive, with regards to pre-orders. <...
Why would anyone care about that?
Do you have shares in Microsoft?
Also, Hololens isn't available at retailers, just as dev kits.
I guarantee they're not... Red Dead still isn't compatible, but we know they're working on it (they 'accidentally' released it a few months back), plus they've just announced support for multi-disk games, which means titles like Mass Effect 2&3, Lost Odyssey and Max Payne 3 are on their way.
Speaking of stuff that's on it's way, do you have any idea when Akito the Exiled is getting dubbed?
Attack on Titan's been delayed and I...
Oh, it exists - there's WAY too much evidence to suggest otherwise... Personally, I'd prefer they announce it soon, if-only so the hard-core gamers know when to start saving (or get a second job!).
I get the feeling Sony aren't delighted by these leaks, but they should at-least say something - I doubt I'm the only person who was waiting for Uncharted, only to now be waiting for the Neo... That said, October makes sense - PSVR is set to release then, and Chri...
Was he?
I assume your referring to the Uncharted posters that listed Horizon as a 2016 game? Because those were almost-certainly produced before Shinobi's announcement - which was just a couple of weeks before the promos released - and it's not as though Sony's going to announce Horizon's delay on an Uncharted ad... Shinobi's track-record speaks for itself, so I'd hold-out 'til E3 before denouncing him.
Scalebound will be there - I always figured riding around an open-world on a dragon was one of those unattainable 'holy grail' gameplay mechanics, plus it's being made by Platinum, so it's bascially guaranteed to be unique... and ReCore looks like it could be another action/adventure RPG type of game.
The Fable series straddled similar lines, but I wouldn't want another one unless Peter Molyneux returns... as much as people diss him, the series was at it...
Dark Souls loads way faster on XO - you don't even have time to read the loading screen's lore tidbits... the frame-rate still stutters in the same areas as the 360, but that's almost-certainly due to FromSoft's engine, which is by-far the most poorly-optimised engine in AAA gaming.
Aside from that, all the BC games I've played have loaded faster and ran as well or better than their 360 counterparts... Mass Effect is a good example - higher frame-rate, l...
You mean 2&3... Mass Effect 1 is already compatible.
Pressing the 'don't kiss Triss' button was harder than anything in Dark Souls, but worth it in the end - unlike my buddy, who made his Geralt behave like a whore (which he kind of is) and ended up all alone... Can't wait to see CDPR's inevitably weird take on sex in Cyberpunk.
Here's hoping they can outdo Yennefer's sex-horse... What a woman!
I'm not defending Nintendo (I haven't owned anything of theirs since the N64), I'm just curious about their new console... Check your blood pressure - check it often.
Considering Zelda will be releasing on both, I'd expect they're probably sticking with that... Before the 'exodus', games like Assassin's Creed 3 and Mass Effect 3 ran fine on the Wii U, plus Nintendo's first-party devs would be used to it.
I won't pretend to know how porting works, though I can't imagine they'll make it more difficult than the PS3/360 days... but you're right - that is odd.
Does the Wii-U use x86 architecture? Seems to me the multiplat devs' issues with that machine were related to it's lack of power, as-opposed to it being 'finicky' like the PS3.
I think it's safe to say two of them will be the new models from MS and Sony, but if the third isn't Nintendo then it's anybody's guess... have any of the Steam machines launched yet? Are they still a thing?
I was pleasantly suprised to see the KOTOR games referenced after the extended-universe's 'reboot' - in 'Rebels' and in the lore surrounding 'The Force Awakens'... they're still my favourite Star Wars games, so it was especially nice to hear Bioware are working on a new SW project.
