Starting to seem like generation exclusives matter more than platform exclusives. The upgrade between PS3 to PS4 / 360 to X1 didn't feel significant to me until about 2017, and we have even more diminished returns. Even RE4-R was on PS4. Modern games cost so much to make and the install base...

Basically. It's got some jank, especially around precision jumping and object boundaries, but it rarely interferes with the game. I did get stuck in an environment and had to load an autosave. So far it doesn't look like autosaves are specific to your actual location, so even if you get stuck...

Beyond any short-term cash that Sony might throw them to keep something exclusive, it's hard to imagine exclusivity being good business for third party publishers when you think about the cost of development for a game like FF7 Rebirth. Especially when the architecture of both consoles is so...

I somehow forgot about FF7R when replying earlier. Rebirth is so huge that I don't think making it into three parts hurts the experience, but there are definitely folks waiting for all three to be out before diving in. I didn't realize it wasn't charting anymore on PSN though. All of it makes...

Of all the things they could / should have updated on the 360 OS, it's the digital library management. PS3 is just as bad and it just astonishes me. Pretty crazy that wasn't something they had a clear vision and understanding of when considering purchasing A-B, given that the biggest benefit is...

I just hope they are making decisions about studios and games based on more than just retail sales. There's no way hi-fi rush cost a whole lot of money to develop, at least not compared to a lot of other games, so to have well reviewed games on Game Pass as content in the same way Netflix...

There are definitely too many options, and the best competition to the Steam Deck don't compete on price. Valve is taking a very Nintendo approach to the Steam Deck, the sweet spot between good-enough performance and price. Digital Foundry did a video recently on all the Deck competitors, it...

That's cool but I won't pick it up again until they add moonbuggies / hover bikes / whatever for exploring planets.

Dark Void was alright, but it's janky as hell. I think everyone was hoping it was going to be Uncharted-with-Tony-Stark, but the controls and quick-time events were so cumbersome that it was more like Uncharted-piloting-a-flying-bus. It's still worth $3 IMHO if it's being delisted, just.... be...

I agree, my 'surprise' is not at people losing interest, but at Bethesda putting out a game that had so much hype and was such a step back for Bethesda and the genre.

Pretty crazy how quickly Starfield fell out of the collective consciousness of players in six months but Fallout is having a renaissance. I mean, I understand why, one is mediocre and one is very good. But just watching videos of the current gen upgrade for FO4, it has so much more interesting...

I have to assume / hope this is also in part due to the Activision-Blizzard acquisition. Even if they just found a way to get all those licensed 360 games on Game Pass, I'd be pretty happy about that. Maintaining servers and updating security can't be cheap, and the storefront is essentially...

Assuming you can put it down after a single run or achievement. I'm embarrassed by the number of hours I have logged in that game.

The console streak bonus for me this week is 275. I'm actually fine with this replacing the weekly thing, and I like that the mobile app and the console rewards totally match now. It was weird and confusing when they didn't. Well my apologies to keep you waiting! Work in family stuff prevented...

Considering they did Simpsons and TMNT Arcade with very short licenses, this is disappointing but not terribly surprising. I wonder if it's specific to the Japanese market just not being as nostalgic or if this will happen in the US. FF6 had some unofficial co-op where the second controller...

P Yeah, I'm officially planning to use auto-redeem to get the 360 versions for XIII-2 and XIII-3 before the universe conspires to make that impossible. At this point, if I'm going to play them, it'll be on Xbox with the enhancements. Mine are taking ~9 hours but eventually show. I launched a...

FYI 13 Sentinels is on Switch.

I've actually prefer controllers like the backbone over a controller mount, they are just way more ergonomic, although there are many options out there and most of them feel really cheap. My favorite option remains the Logitech G Cloud, I use it almost everyday, it does local streaming for...

Price increases on Rewards stuff is annoying, but I'm still getting about 500 points every 48 hours, so I can't complain too much.
