Incidentally you could spend that amount and buy an authentic Middle Kingdom Ushabte or other arttifact  that will really hold or increase in value as opposed to this Chinese made amulet that will sell for half this on eBay on two years.

Obviously we al would but this doesn’t take away from new games or hinder MS from bringing new games to the console. The engineers handling this aren’t involved in game development anyway.

I don’t know. That trailer still doesn’t tell me enough. I have to believe it’s quality of Nintendo allowed them to use their IP like this but who knows. I’ll wait for GameExplain to do a sadistically in depth analysis

In the grand scheme no it’s hardly a critical feature but it’s certainly nice and sends a message that digital purchases will have longevity.

Skull and Bones is the biggest deal to me although Transference looks pretty neat also. Although I wish I were more psyched BG&E 2 but I am just not for some reason

PS4 also has a better exclusives library to go on. I’ll also point out that the Wii Outsold the PS2 at certain points in its lifespan but that doesn’t mean it was the better system. And the PS2 ultimately won. Again BC is a feature and the Xbox is behind in sales so adding more can’t hurt and can only help.,

yeeeeeeah, I jsut don’t care anymore. At this point O’m ontent with the HD remake. This jsut doesn’t seem interesting at all and the “seamless online world” thing scares me even more.

So the fact that literally every toys to lfie franchise floundered within a few years wasn’ enough to scare them from doing this? Hell even skylanders is all but dead.

Devs must have really learned new tricks to making in game water on the past year or so as between this, Sea of Thieves, Yhe Crew and others it seems water effects are the name of the game this year

It will happen and I’d wager they will be among the earlier titles with Crimson Skies and PGR

My guess is it will be game by game not full BC. That would require far too much tech and would be hard to get right. But unlike Nintendo MS does good releasing new titles fast instead of a trickle

Yes you can use the discs. I read this elsewhere yesterday m(I’ll look for the link(

This. It shows dedication to try ganbase. Sony has a FAR better back catalog to work with yet they e basically said “fuck you” when it comes to BC even for the titles they sold in PS3

That’s not the point. This helps give customers peace of mind when buying current titles digitally knowing odds are good MS will keep supporting them on future consoles. This is marketing and it’s working

Uhhh Crimson Skies .

Wow that’s......actually really impressive. Not only are they doing BC but it seems theyve taken it to 11., I’m honestly impressed that it’s Microsoft if all people doing this also. The profit potential here isn’t great either so this is fan service above all else and I’m actually pretty appreciative of it. Kudos…

Never said they didn’t. But the percentage of their library that are freely rxclusife is low.,5 that’s not a knock on Sony and is a keg up over Microsoft but it’s also simply reality. Exclusives aren’t as prominent as they once were

Nintendo maybe but Sony? Meh I guess they’ve got a few

W O W. color me interested. I had never even heard of this but now it’s way up my list

Yes they’re all RPGs well Dragon Force is an SRPG similar to Langrisser/Ogre Battle
