Re: Microsoft Xbox news and discussion thread
By all accounts it's, at best, a copycat survival game with an interesting venir. But it got terrible to middling reviews at launch, and people were generally pissed it was marketed as more story-driven than it really was.
Re: Microsoft Xbox news and discussion thread
It already was on there, but only in MS authored games. Now the tools for it are available for other mobile developers.

What does this mean in practical terms? I'll be able to download my purchased XBLA games to phone and play them?

Re: Microsoft Xbox news and discussion thread
It's more that the online multiplayer, party chat, etc can be integrated into none XBOX games I would think. Perhaps Achievements too, although they might want to keep a tighter hold on them.
Playing your games on a mobile device via streaming solutions is on it;s way too though.
Re: Microsoft Xbox news and discussion thread
You know how you can use your Facebook account to sign into games and have progress saved to the cloud? It’s like that, only you can use your Xbox live account instead. And there’ll be achievements.
Go play something Wordament on mobile to see an existing game with Xbox live integration.

Ninja Gaiden 2 is now backwards compatible with Xbox One X, which apparently alleviates a lot of the frame rate and freezing issues.
Legit considering buying one of those just for that. Probably won't. But still...

I must admit, I don't really keep up with Xbox news, but whatever happened to that Gears Of War funko pop spin off thing? Wasn't that announced like two years ago (or was it only last E3, I forget?) It's not actually come out or anything yet has it?
Re: Microsoft Xbox news and discussion thread
Still in soft launch, though I think getting close to global launch soon (friend of mine is working on it).
It’s also not an Xbox game, it’s for mobile.

Re: Microsoft Xbox news and discussion thread
The discless Xbox One S has been confirmed for May 7th release. £200 with three games.
Re: Microsoft Xbox news and discussion thread
Oh cool OK, that's interesting, I'll actually be able to play it then! I thought it was literally just a GoW game with the big head characters, but looking online it seems more of an arena based multiplayer thing?
Re: Microsoft Xbox news and discussion thread
It shows how technology has advanced.
Sadly though it's Microsoft trying to kill the used game market and push people into Game Pass and to buy games from the overpriced digital store.

Re: Microsoft Xbox news and discussion thread
I had a quick look on german amazon.
Xbox 360 500GB with Forza Horizon 2 costs EUR 320,00
Xbox One S 1TB with Forza Horizon 4 costs EUR 252,68 (??)
Xbox One X 1TB with Forza Horizon 4 & Forza Motorsport 7 costs EUR 399,00
Xbox One X 1TB with Shadow of the Tomb Raider costs EUR 495,00 (??)
Suffice to say, I don't really understand how pricing works.
Re: Microsoft Xbox news and discussion thread
I've seen Xbox One S with a game for around £160 odd.
