Sonic Origin is just another cash grab from Sega to ride on the release of Sonic movie

since basically all of the newer 3D Sonic games bombed, they've no choice but to keep milking the the old sonic games

come next gen... I'll bet my left nut that Sega gonna re-release another compilation of old Sonic games laugh.gif
and there will be another re-master of GTAV and Skyrim as well...

The last full priced sonic game i bought was Sonic Adventure for the dreamcast.. so i'm probably not the target market for this new release. Having said that, i realise that I did buy the Genesis mini which came bundled with sonic 1 and 2. Now this is really a case of rose tinted glasses because the games (in their original form with simulated scan lines!) did distract my kids for about half an hour before they went back to roblox/minecraft.

Is it a cash grab though? the games individually which are the 360 versions are worth $5 so $20 for 4 - The 360 versions havent aged well, by that i mean the menus, rendering etc. With the re-release they have done a bit of work on it..are rereleasing it with the usual remastered collectibles, improved graphics, classic modes, save states and other modern bells and whistles for $40. That's not too bad is it? That's the price you would pay for that sort of game on the switch...

You know what, we've probably been spoiled rotten by backward compatibility lol. You would probably have had to buy the game 3 times over on nintendo/PS platforms.

I guess YongYea agrees with this oldfag here too. Unless, YongYea is considered "whining" too?

Dunno lah, I dont have any skin in the game, didnt spend a single sen on a "remaster". For others whose thinking of getting their skins in the game thinking of purchasing it, have a listen to Yong here, what you're buying into, what you're getting, and what's not included in the "remaster". I'm just not a fan of paying more to get less, remastered or not, particularly when your only option is artificially restricted by Sega to get is only the "remastered" version now, after Sega delisted all the older classics on other online stores.

No idea who Yongyea is but he is entitled to his opinion. As are you. In any case the games are not yet delisted. If you really want to get them you have until the 20th of May to get them. That's sufficient warning for anyone who was planning to get those games. If you are not, I don't really understand your outrage over the delisting.

I'm also not a fun of paying more to get less but the base game is demonstrably more than the 360 versions. Whether it's $20-25 depends on whoever this game is marketed towards. At least after the 20th of May, the only versions left will be the more feature complete ones.

To be fair, I really don't know anyone who is interested in getting this remaster but I'm willing to bet that this game is perfect for gamepass. The price structure seems designed to take into consideration gamepass + the extra $5 for the DLC as extra monetisation fodder for the full experience.

Didnt know who embracer was and i came across the kotaku article https://kotaku.com/saints-row-tomb-raider-d...acqu-1848868558

They seem like a fairly ambitious 3rd party publisher. Who knows maybe they'll do something interesting with the IP. If they don't it's no big loss. However cool the IP, after 40 years of gaming, I've learnt that a developer is only as good as its next game and it's pointless to let nostalgia get your hopes up.

Had no problem playing on my non "home" xbox during the weekend but I think it was a real problem as it was acknowledged by MS.

Also Isn't steam just as stingy with their DRM? When i share my library with my son through their family settings, he's locked out when i'm on a game and vice versa.

I'm glad MS actually rewarded their existing XBL members by offering cheaper upgrade path to GPU

unlike the other side  dry.gif
existing PS+ members who stacked their membership using discounted offers are asked to cough back the savings if they wanna upgrade doh.gif

I just saw your post in PS forums. So basically they're not honouring what they said about conversion earlier? That really sucks man.

they are only honoring the conversion for those paid the full price, but for discount suckers like us?  Sony asked us to cough up the discounts they've given us previously

it's like you bought a new game at 50% discount, but when you wanna get that new DLC, you'll need to pay for the DLC + the 50% discount you've gotten last time

that's a very low ball from Sony
*
Yeah that's some first class corporate bull shit. It doesn't make sense at all. They never said anything discounts subscription not being included when they announced the conversions.

Meanwhile - on MS side I've already got 5 and a half years GPU for the price of XBL gold - and they don't mind at all as long as you pay something to them.

Indeed.

PR wise, MS is doing a fabulous job in reaching out to their current and potential customers. They've learned from their past mistakes as far as communication with games are concerned.

However, equally they are also being a hypocrite when it comes to problems. They've swept all issues with Gamepass on PC under the rug. The Xbox app has not worked properly for months now, the gamingservices.svc that the xbox app is required to run with is a bitch uninstall, reinstall and get working. You can complain until the cows come home, they don't bat an eye about it. Of course nothing to do with console since that's the majority of where GPU subs are, but they're still related in one way or another.
*
Don't forget that it's only recently that MS have decided to recognise that Malaysia exists and that we are actually paying customers.

you got game with 100% gamerscore?
i only got 4 games with perfect gamerscore.
others, when completed the main story, uninstall and move on to the next game.  tongue.gif
sad cannot import x360 gamerscore last time, cannot remember which email/account login.

Yeah I have quite a few completions.

https://www.trueachievements.com/gamer/K1d+lcarus/games# sort by %age.

I also have quite a few where they add DLC after I 100% it. These days a lot of games I cannot be bothered and some games I don't even complete the story mode but some I like to do because they're difficult. Sekiro comes to mind.

Depends on mood - sometimes I can get OCD and just spend months playing one game to get that 100%. These days I blame my kids for starting all those games and not finishing them.

xbox got no games.

Seriously though. Looking forward to diablo 4, forza motorsport, horizon hot wheels DLC and all the random indie stuff that'll be popping up on gamepass. During the show, everything was basically available to play day 1 on xbox gamepass. It's like they're saying you already bought that shit!

Also,anyone else caught Menara TM in the Flight simulator footage?

2. Looks interesting - might get it when it goes on sale.
3. Wow. Day1 purchase.

Now.... it's like, I don't even have to like it but i can play everything they showed and It helps there was plenty that looked good.

Never gonna happen since the rights are tied up in legal hell, especially since Nintendo is one of those parties

Go get a jailbroken Xbox 360 to play the HD remake of GoldenEye... it's so much better than the N64 original smile.gif

Actually.....

https://www.trueachievements.com/game/Golde...07/achievements

It's one of those things that's been rumored for a while. New achievements were recently uploaded and people have been earning achievements! Also devs recently updated the names of some of the ahievements. So yeah.... Things are moving and I was really hoping for an announcement on this.

My prediction is that it will be stealth dropped on gamepass at some point.

Potentially a true remake, rather than a remaster of the N64 game?

The problem had always been Nintendo, because they own the source code for the original game.

This was the reason why Activision developed a new version of GoldenEye for Wii, and later PS3 and Xbox 360 (as GoldenEye Reloaded).

I won't pretend to know what type of licensing hell goldeneye is facing.

All i know is that in my Uni days - We had a N64 in our house and we spent many nights on couch pvp bouncing grenades, using mines and slapping each other. I'm just curious to see what rare will do with 25 years of hindsight.

But is it really necessary?
