Did not expect Kunitsu-Gami to have tower defense and management stuff in it when they first showed it. An odd mix from Capcom, but it looks interesting - like one of those smaller experimental games you'd see in the PS2/GC/Xbox era.

Kunitsugamai looks like a way better Orcs Must Die with army squadrons so I’m sold. That and Frostpunk 2 bein Gamepass were huge for me. Rest of the presentation was just whatever, I don’t need anymore soulslike or metroidvanias, wish companies would draw more from Devil May Cry instead of Fromsoft games already

"The Hero of the Age..."

The hero of all ages
For S.T.A.L.K.E.R., it looks like $40 for the whole shebang or $20 for individual titles according to Xbox Wire:

quote:

Today, during the latest Xbox Partner Preview broadcast – as a surprise for Xbox gamers everywhere – GSC Game World launched the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Legends of the Zone Trilogy for Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S (via backwards compatibility). That’s right – it’s available today!

The Legends of the Zone bundle – available on the Microsoft Store for $39.99 USD — includes all three iconic games that make up the original S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Trilogy: Shadow of Chernobyl, Clear Sky, and Call of Pripyat. – or you can pick up each of the games individually for $19.99 USD each. Every element from the original games has been maintained and faithfully ported to console thanks to the hard work of GSC Game World and their partners at Mataboo. This all makes for a great opportunity for Xbox gamers everywhere to get some foundational knowledge of S.T.A.L.K.E.R.’s universe in the lead-up to the launch of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl, coming day one to Game Pass on September 5, 2024.

Sounds like a Series X/S patch will be coming later with mod support and enhancements.

"The version available today for Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S will be close to the original version of the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. experience on PC. Xbox One players will finally be able to dive into the franchise, and those on Xbox Series X|S can enjoy the game in a high-fidelity mode via backward compatibility. Later this year, the team will release a patch for Xbox Series X|S version that will bring additional graphical enhancements and other features. The console versions will also have mod support via mod.io, but this too will be a feature to roll out later as the team continues to tweak things a bit, so keep an eye on GSC's social media channels on when these features will roll out."

Mods are coming to the Xbox version eventually, along with proper S|X enhancements (currently it’s just resolution and FPS). For the love of God support the drat devs.

Alters looks good until you get to the dialogue parts. Games have just got to get better about that. Weird pacing, dead eyed mannequins, bad voice acting. It completely ruins the impact of anything emotional goodwill they build up.

I couldn't tell if were doing some kind of artsy thing with the faces or it was just really bad. Also it looks like a game that could have a lot of big ideas but skimp on the execution. But I can ignore the faces if it has some depth.

The STALKER trilogy is £33.50 but the individual games are £9.99 on the UK store for some reason

E: and the trilogy is £15.99 on PS4? Phil needs to sort this out

Right! It's all about execution and that's what I'm talking about. When you have this moment that feels technically stunted (annoying repeated idle animations, long unnatural delays between speech modules, subpar animation etc) it just draws me right out of it.

You're paying a little extra for the satisfaction and comfort of getting three classic games with one single press of a button instead of having to add them all to your cart individually. A deluxe shopping experience.
