My Friend can't seem to play driveclub because it's offline :( Looking like a BF4 tier launch here

Based on the reviews, looks like it's yet again another genre where xbox has the better games

Looks like theres a Ryse bundle out too, still better off renting or waiting for a black Friday sale though imo:

Doesn't Halo Anniversary already run two engines you can switch between at will? And it runs at full 1080p? 343 really are the most incompetent aren't they

hahah holy gently caress

It's a choice they had to make to run the interchangeable engines concurrently at 60fps. I guess it's a valid alternative to something like the tlou:remaster where the fluctuating frame rate at 1080p meant they needed to include a 30fps lock option. Perhaps 343 could have gone that route, but who wants to play halo at 1080 x 30fps?

My friend can't get on either, I guess their servers are sucked again. One benefit of delaying the review embargo is that my friend bought driveclub before he knew it was crap. My poor friend.

I just got off the phone with my friend and he's reporting some truly hideous visual bugs too, dashboard aren't meant to float! :cmon:

So I just looked it up. Only the H2a campaign runs at that sub 1080p resolution.

Halo:CE full 1080 peas
Halo 2 full 1080 peas
Halo 3 full 1080 peas
Halo 4 full 1080 peas

Halo 2 anniversary multiplayer full 1080 peas
Halo 2 anniversary campaign 1328 x 1080 peas

Not too shabby for sixty bucks

Snap it as the big window or the small one?

Works fine as the "big window", not as the small one.

I don't have any of those games and I don't believe you can buy an anniversary version of halo 2 currently.

The most important part of MCC will be the dedicated server multiplayer. Sure the higher resolutions and double frame rate, and reskinned halo 2 multi maps are nice, but adding a few million scrubs to the player base for me to shoot is the best thing about this release. Also looking forward to co opping through campaigns I haven't played in ten years :)

Didn't forza horizon 2 have a hosed up launch because for some reason in 2014 the xbone needs you to be connected to their servers to unlock a preloaded game?

Also didn't live go down multiple times over the destiny launch while PSN was rock solid?
