Xboxes have always been close to PCs - the first one used an Intel CPU and an nVidia GPU that were practically off the shelf (almost literally a Pentium III and GeForce 3) - but the issue with backwards compatibility is that they then switched to a PowerPC CPU and ATI GPU for the Xbox 360 (I remember hearing that it…

Yeah, I see the differences now that I’ve had time to rewatch the trailer and look at some comparisons - although, according to Kotaku, there was a remastered PC version in the works in 2013 to be released in Japan, but I can’t find any information on whether that was ever actually released. I wonder if that…

I’m sure there were lots of differences, but they all had Power PC based CPUs and ATI/AMD GPUs, and the Wii’s CPU was derived from the GameCube’s, the Wii U’s GPU was derived from the Wii’s, etc., so they are all essentially the same architecture.

Different how? Increased resolution isn’t the same as retouched graphics. You can already turn up the resolution on the PC version, so you could get a higher resolution just from a port. Retouching the graphics would involve remaking and replacing the textures - which maybe they have done, as they’re calling it a…

For Scarlett to be 100% backwards compatible it would have to have the same architecture as the Xbox One - i.e. essentially just the same console but upgraded. It’s not unheard of (e.g. the GameCube, Wii and Wii U) but it generally doesn’t work that way - each successive console represents a leap forward in…

I never completed it because I started with the PC version, thought ‘This doesn’t feel right’, switched to the PSX version, then got told that I’d done it all wrong by levelling up too quickly, because that makes it exponentially more difficult. Years later I tried to go back to it, only to find that the particular EU…

To me it looked like the PC version, just like the version of VII that’s been released on current gen consoles. So I don’t know what exactly has been remastered but I’d love to hear all the technical details.

It says remaster but it looks like a port of the existing PC version, just like VII is on current gen consoles.

Same here! I’ve been watching the Square Enix livestream and finding it massively underwhelming (lots of trailers that have been shown before, some for games that are already out) and then I heard the opening notes of Liberi Fatali and couldn’t help shrieking in excitement. That’s a grown man shrieking at 3am level of…

Do you mean streaming app? Or there a rumoured or upcoming streaming service that I'm not aware of?

They're completely unrelated in terms of plot so there's absolutely no need to play the first one first. Although, yes, it's looking like the remaster is coming to the PC as well.

I think the answer is right there in the question. I mean why wouldn’t you prepare it in advance? Wouldn’t you want to double check it was all there? Wouldn’t you want to make sure it loaded properly? If you had a big presentation to prepare, would you wait until the morning of to start putting the PowerPoint…

You know Xbox streaming works pretty well these days, right? All they'd need to do is port the Windows 10 app to Switch and I'd be pretty happy if it performs as well as it does on PC.

I'm not sure about Xbox games actually running on the Switch (although I guess that depends on the Switch Pro's hardware), but surely it wouldn't be difficult to bring Xbox streaming to the Switch - basically port the Windows 10 Xbox app to the Switch so that, if you have both consoles, you can stream anything from…

It's a black and white image that was scanned from a negative.

Yeah - and how did he manage to take pictures of all of those specific things, especially the fleeting Stan Lee cameo? Either it was his second or third viewing or he was basically recording the whole movie.

1) I only got my 3DS 2-3 years ago, so I started with a huge backlog of games for it, plus inherited a backlog of games from the DS that I never got around to.

I didn’t get a PS3 until 2012, so by then the first three Uncharted games had already been released and I’d missed out on them. They were always on my list but I didn’t get around to playing them until late 2016. The way a lot of games are these days, it was really nice to play a few games that were really tight,…

Yeah - if you put a ‘2' in your title you’re basically guaranteeing that your audience will not be larger than the audience of the first movie. As in, the maximum number of people who will go and see ‘Movie 2' is everyone who saw ‘Movie’, but there will probably be some drop-off from people who didn’t like ‘Movie’ or…

It also tells you a little bit about what the movie is about - which can say a lot if it’s based on comics and you’re familiar with the source material.
