Aha, Need For Speed Hot Pursuit Remastered is locked behind "EA PlayPro", a monthly subscription tier on top of whatever this free perk to a subscription is supposed to be. I officially have no idea what the gently caress is going on anymore.

Daric posted:Halo MCC is the ultimate answer I tried revisiting Halo 1 with my wife and was absolutely shocked at how much I require games to hold my hand these days. I got turned around after rescuing one of the groups of marines when you first arrive on Halo and we ended up wasting like 10 minutes figuring out where were supposed to go. It was honestly embarrassing.

I’ve never played a Halo game before except a little bit of 3 so I played through Halo 1 a few months ago. That Warthog race to the exit at the end was absolute garbage. Can I expect more of that in the sequels?

Can I expect more of that in the sequels? Halo to me is one of the most overrated FPS franchises ever. I’ve been playing through the MCC and the single player of every single game except Reach is massively boring. I remember having fun with 2 playing it co-op on the original Xbox and 3 has great multiplayer that I played on 360 loads but the single player campaigns just don’t hold up if you’ve played basically any other big FPS series.

No way, 95% of the Bungie Halo games are all still top-notch. It’s only the later 343 stuff that’s aged like milk.

Playing the Halo 1 campaign when it came out blew my mind. That first big outdoor area was insane, I never experienced anything like that in a shooter back then. Also the very first encounter with the flood, the cutscene where you find the helmet cam footage and then you start hearing the noises, that was absolutely chilling. I have no idea how all of this holds up these days, I haven't played the campaign since then.

Every Halo campaign up to reach was pretty great for its time although they probably havent held up too well. god drat if that Halo infinite trailer get me right in the feels though. this will be a good year for games.

Can someone convince me to keep the series X I got off Target if I already have a PS5 and RTX 3080 equipped PC? Not really interested in current gamrpass offerings, I could see myself playing cross platform games on it as the most convincing argument to myself.

Halo 1 came out 10 years ago so yeah, the campaign may not hold up when compared to modern FPSs but it was also the first game I played with outdoor portions like that and with vehicles. And the multilayer is still great.

I said come in! posted:Ooh snap, is Prodeus out of early access tomorrow? I am really excited for this game. Holy poo poo I had no idea Prodeus was coming to Xbox, I thought it was Steam-only. This is awesome news  Just need them to get Spelunky 2 to be ported over as well, and ideally the original game as well and Downwell would be pretty nice. They're some solid indie gems that really should be on Xbox by now. Also lots of news today about Phil Spencer saying they want to make a new Killer Instinct game. Our prayers have been answered. Apparently it's something they're talking about a lot and just waiting for the right team, which is the odd part of the news since the team that took over for the original developers were excellent and it's odd that they wouldn't be the go-to for a sequel. They did such a stellar job of elevating an already excellent game even further so why Xbox hasn't just thrown money at them is unusual, they're perfect to continue the franchise. Was hoping they'd bring a new entry out and generally keep things the same since it works so well, and just build on the KI roster of characters and expand on the guest characters even more adding characters like Doom guy, Corvo from Dishonored, Senua from Hellblade etc. and maybe a new mode that's tag-based would be fun?

343 just put out new/updated mod tools on Steam for Halo 1 yesterday. I’m interested to check in on that in a few months and see what’s going on. Hopefully some of the other MCC games get them, too.

Mods in general make a ton of sense for supporting Gamepass engagement so hopefully we see more of it. First though they need a store that can work with them at any sort of acceptable level. I guess maybe we’ll know more about that in a few hours whenever they talk about Windows 11 or whatever it’ll be called.

Give the Series X to a friend who has nothing. Or sell your RTX 3080 and retire early.

Sell the 3080 and retire. Edit: /\/\/\  Barudak posted:The team that took over has other work to do or you believe renewed rumors that with EA getting WB's former mobile games the meats back on the menu with netherrealm (it is not) Last I heard was NetherRealm was working on a Marvel Versus fighting game with the X-Men license back in Marvel's hands. That combined with the Suicide Squad game we saw a while back has me fairly sure that WB are holding onto everything now. If that rumor about NetherRealm is true they're actually in a really interesting position where if all parties could somehow come to an agreement, they may actually be able to make a Marvel vs. DC game which would be great. Think the chances of that happening are close to zero but WB is in a pretty good spot right now, I think. EA possibly gobbling them up would really suck though. The Kins posted:The studio that handled the programming and such on Spelunky 2 is currently busy with porting the series to Switch, but I suspect that a homecoming to Xbox is on their list for down the line since they've developed (and are developing) Xbox ports of other people's games. That's good to know! Do they not make the games in GM any more? They had a pretty good system for compiling builds for different platforms but they may have gone with something different, I haven't kept up. Reading how Derek Yu approached somewhat random level generation was interesting and utterly genius, though. Never would have thought of trying that approach in a million years but mixing handcrafted segments with layout randomization like that works so well. I wonder if that inspired Bungie's 'Infinite Forest' in Destiny 2 before they removed that and a bunch of other content from the game? On the topic of indie games, wasn't Fez 2 announced years back? I wonder what happened to that?

I can *absolutely see* how it won't hold up now if it's your first experience of it... but back in the day that poo poo was pretty amazing and new.
