Any reports on if the XB1 version of Final Fantasy 7 has the same music bugs as the PS4 version? (Wrong music playing during various scenes, including one of the biggest moments in the game).
We won't know until it's out, but FFIX has the same issues as PS4 and Steam, so it must be the same version. Probably a safe bet it will be the same. As far as I've seen, the only console one of these ports that had a music issue fixed was FFX. On PC they had several patches for Chrono Trigger as well.

 
Is it crazy that I'm thinking about a second X1S just to have my two accounts/profiles on seperate consoles? When I'm logged into both on my current X1S and launch a game with my second profile I've noticed that it will switch over to my original profile. I switch profiles once I get to the main screen.

I know it would likely be easier to just log out of one and play games with the other. Now me remembering to do so is another matter...

 
oh, and I'm sure there's others on gamepass that impress, but Hellblade is also very impressive, and an absolutely amazing game experience.
outside of gamepass, Red Dead 2 might be the best looking. A lot of 'wow' ones out there. The thing I've noticed most is the realism of sunlight in games is a big difference with HDR.
Oh man I loved Hellblade. I might have to pop that on just to check out the upgraded graphics and hear the wild sounds again with the upgraded stuff.
 
Unlike other games, I've only bought FF7 2-3 times. I originally got the PC version because I only had an N64 back then. It ran like shit on my Packard Bell (remember them??) and the FMV when they escape from the frozen crater on disc 2 constantly crashed the game. I had to go into the files and replace the FMV with a dummy file to play through quickly to allow it to continue.

Bought the PS1 version on PSN. At some point, owned the original PS1 discs, pretty sure I sold them years ago once digital became such a viable option.

And yes. For less than $20, I too will buy this, may even pre-load.
Kids of this era who never had to do stuff like this (or blow on NES cartridges, or whatever) and whose first game is, like, Apex Legends or Minecraft have no idea how good they have it.

I've never played FF7, or any of the FF games beyond 6, but a not-terrible version of one on a console I actually own is tempting. Maybe I'll wait for a sale.

 
I wish you hadn't said that. I'm now regretting not buying FC5 gold last month and you're making it tougher not to pick up AC Odyssey.

I mean what's another 100 hours or so added to the backlog.
My backlog is gigantic (like most of cag users) BUT I recently poured 100hs of my life in AC Origins, it was THAT good, 100% achievements on Xbox AND Ubiclub (2nd time in my life after WatchDogs 2 which I loved too).

If you have multiple controllers, you can assign certain ones to sign in specific accounts. I've got 4 controllers and all but one sign me directly. The other is for the wife
 
You bastards talked me into buying ff7....again!


Why!!!!!???? I've played this damn game like 20 times.

Oh well least there will be achivements this time. There better not be one for getting the gold chockobo.
Seeing an HD splash screen of Midgar in the game store sure makes me pretty happy.

Its' ugly as sin but it has so much charm that after about an hour, you forget about it and just enjoy the ugly ride.

That would be a terrible pick-up line, though.

I'm fuzzy on the details because it's been so long, but I also had an FMV that crashed my game. I think it was something with the Weapons, maybe? I had to download a save past this point to progress, though your dummy file fix may have done the trick.
 
The EVO lineup was announced today. This is the biggest fighting game tournament of the year and is always hype as fuck to watch.:

1) Tekken 7  - Sunday Finals
 
2) Street Fighter V  - Sunday Finals
 
3) BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle  - Sunday Finals
 
4) Super Smash Bros. Ultimate  - Sunday Finals
 
5) Dragon Ball FighterZ 
 
6) Soulcalibur VI 
 
7) Mortal Kombat 11 
 
8) Samurai Spirits 
 
9) Under Night In-Birth Exe:Late[st] 
 
Takeaways:
-No Super Smash Bros Melee. This is likely a combination of factors but ultimately I'd wager it'd come down to the fact that Nintendo won't sponsor such an old game, the high cost of being the one game that need a lot of CRTs, and community really not gelling well with the FGC. There are currently extremely high salt levels from the community and some of the top tier players due to it's dropping. Personally I'm glad it is out. I like Smash, but Melee is 18 years old, generally has the same handful of players using the same 4 or so characters in top 8 every year. Four people account for 10 (out of 12) of the players in the Grand Finals in the last 6 years.
 
-No Dead or Alive 6. While it's possible they CORE VALUE'd themselves out of a slot, it's also possible they just never were going to get one. DOA hasn't been all that respected in the FGC. Not because of the fanservice existing but because it seems to be a much bigger focus that the developer uses to cater to non-serious players who only care about the series for the waifus. Personally I think the core values thing was ridiculous, I don't know how the man running the show didn't have any clue what the presentation was going to be, and the fact that they cut away to the ridiculous violence of MK11 combined with the apology really made a statement that wasn't great.

-Samurai Spirits. While this game does deserve a slot of EVO after all this time, it is a bit surprising that it is this year. This game has no release date and is currently slated for summer. EVO is in June. Aside from the worry about a delay or anything, other games (Skullgirls) were supposedly not put in because the game wasn't out long enough.
 
-Dragonball FighterZ. Slightly surprising it was able to return this year. The interest is certainly there but the past few months have seen some interference from presumably one the Japanese rights holders for whatever reason.
 
We can finally end the saga of when Phoenix Wright will release. April 8th at midnight, tweet does not have the date in it.

Cobalt is probably a filler game for something not available in their region.

 
I imagine this has to be real. A bit surprised we're getting two Star Wars games in a row, but Republic Commando is the one I've been trying to track down so I'll take it. Rising is great but I already own it.

In other news, Overkill's Walking Dead is officially cancelled for consoles.

This whole thing has been a shitshow, but the developer was actually arguing with people saying it was canceled due to the PS4 refunds. They're contract has actually been terminated which isn't that common. The article makes it sound like it's going to be delisted from Steam as well. I hope Skybound starts doing more research on future projects, they've made a lot of strange to bad decisions.

 
Before anyone complains about more original xbox titles, I'd like to say that SW: Republic Commando is one of my more memorable games from the Xbox era. Curious to see how it holds up today (or more likely doesn't). Also interested to see what Cobalt is the stand-in for if that's the real line up. 

 
If the list is accurate then I don't own any of the GwG games next month, nice. Been tempted to pick up the deluxe garden warfare 2 when it's been on sale, especially last time when it was the same price as the standard version. I liked the first one but only played the beta for 2.

In other news, Overkill's Walking Dead is officially cancelled for consoles.
Saw some confusing back and forth announcements about this last week saying it's cancelled then a day later saying it's just delayed. Based on the one trailer I saw it looked like it had potential but with dying light 2 supposedly coming out this year I doubt I would've picked up the walking dead game until there was a significant discount.
 
Nice, I wanted Republic Commando and I bought Revengeance physical when it went BC but haven't played it yet.
I’ve been wanting Republic Commando for a long time. I missed it on the original Xbox and by the time I wanted to play it, it was unplayable on pc. I’ve almost bought it but thought I’d wait til May 4th week.
 
Same for Republic Commando. One of the lead devs who worked on the squad mechanic also worked on Halo 5. It felt out of place in Halo, but I’ve wanted to try the original. Before going BC, it was somewhat hard to find at a decent price.

I prefer lurkers to the regulars who think they're entitled to other people property because they made a post about their favorite subject. I usually won't give codes on here because of the entitled .

If you buy games you don't play and brag about your backlog with 16 million children starving in this country.....leave it alone. I think you're sick and you need help...seriously.

It's usually given to regulars to stop bots but you do you. You clearly have a console and internet so maybe you're the rich asshole starving all those children.
 
I read somewhere that they expect the game that Cobalt is replacing to turn out to be Fallout 76 in the west. I don’t know if that is just rumor or if someone had “insider” knowledge, but take it for what is worth.
 
Why did Anthem get so much negative press? I just downloaded the trial and played through the opening along with my first multiplayer mission and I find the combat and movement really tight and their ability to create a new world and lore pretty neat. I don’t know what else it has to offer but I’m enjoying it so far.

FYI: I’m a big destiny player.
 
If that list is real, it'll be a good month for 360/OG Xbox games. I know I couldn't care less about Garden Warfare 2, but I have a nephew that has been wanting to play it.

I will say Republic Commando holds up far better today than Jedi Academy.
Yeah, have to say that Jedi Academy, while fun, has controls, combat and levels that don't age well. From what I remember of Republic Commando, it felt like a squad based version of Halo.

Thought I had Revengeance on 360, but it turned out to be the PS3 version with that wal-mart exclusive soundtrack. So interested to see if it will have any enhancements.

Those opening missions are cool and the flight is indeed awesome. But once you get into the mission structure, it starts to go downhill - long loading times, lack of weapon variety, unengaging story...

Don’t get me wrong. I actually still like it. It’s a blast flying around and looks gorgeous but it needs a lot to work. I’m not even sure I want to use the rest of my Access trial to wait and see if they make things better. Though I am tempted to jump in here and there to get that urge to fly out of my system, lol.

I will pick it up when it goes cheaper.

Bugs that cause players to lose progress/restart missions, microtransactions, and lack of endgame content according to YTers at least.

 
I still like anthem, but am definitely doing the best PM before my window closes from BB. Cause I’m sure it will drop, a lot.

EA even posted the roadmap that clearly stated (by accident I bet) the world was unfinished...
according to the roadmap there are 3 planned updates/dlc in the next 90 days adding more endgame content etc.

Game is fun, I see the lack of content is really going to hurt it though. For the more casual player that will probably get to endgame content about the time they release the next update.. the game is much better than the reviews state. For the more advanced player that gets to endgame content in a day.. not so fun.

Ea/BioWare kinda screwed themselves on anthem, over promised and under delivered. In 6 months the game could be great... if they don’t screw things up more with the new content. Not a great track record so far though.
 
Mortal Kombat 11 Kombat Kast today at 1pm PST. A new character will be revealed during the stream. Rumors point to Johnny Cage, but time will tell if that's true or not. Community still hasn't seen gameplay footage for D'Vorah or Kano yet, so here's hoping that shows up soon. Also hoping we get a solid date of when the beta starts for those who pre-ordered the game.

When I fired up Jedi Academy the other week, I was severely disappointed to realize it wasn't the game whose main protagonist was Kyle Katarn. My memory is failing me when it comes to which games I own, now I can't remember which games have certain main characters. Old CAG geezer indeed

Edit: Guess IGN just dropped a Johnny Cage gameplay trailer. Seems they spoiled the Kombat Kast reveal unless NetherRealm Studios has another character lined up to showcase.....love everything in this trailer. Nailed his attitude, spot on

Different companies that release Games As a Service games seem to put out content at a slower pace than others, to the dismay of their players. I think a balance needs to be struck with how much content needs to be released over how much time.

Beta starts March 28th, this was announced during the reveal event in January.

Now, I'm pretty sure another character is being revealed today. Just like D'Vorah was announced during the Inside Xbox episode that coincided and overlapped with the first Kombat Kast in which Kabal was shown at the start. Here's hoping for Cassie or Frost.

Also, that Johnny Cage action figure :whee:

It's hard to hear you from way up on top of that high horse.

Trials Rising has an 87 on metacritic! Is it really that good? It came out yesterday on Xbox.
