The Xbox One

I'd add Titanfall and DR3 if you didn't play them (can't remember off the top of my head) but otherwise that's a pretty solid list.

Subject: Re: The Xbox One Sat 14 Feb 2015 - 13:44

I played Titanfall and actually I bought the season pass when I had a ONE but never actually played any of the extras, So I could re-pick it up as it's cheap now but I've got Halo MCC (let's say I've just bought a ONE) do I need another FPS and I do have Destiny on PS4.

I hated DR1 & that weird Demo game of DR2 but I do like the look of that Super Hyper Turbo Ultimate Mega DR3 Edition EX+ Alpha, do I need to core game for that also what about Ryse that has to be dirt cheap now right or still not worth playing.

Subject: Re: The Xbox One Sat 14 Feb 2015 - 14:19

I'm no fan of the old DR games but I did really enjoy 3. It is DLC for the main game so yeah you need it. Not tried Ryse so couldn't say.

Subject: Re: The Xbox One Sat 14 Feb 2015 - 14:41

I guess DR3 is cheap though, so might be worth it still.

Thanks Andy I might see you on Live end of this month, also no good indies then.

Subject: Re: The Xbox One Sat 14 Feb 2015 - 15:17

Off the top of my head there's nothing special. Looking forward to picking up Escapists at some point but most is eithercross platform, not great or non existant.

Subject: Re: The Xbox One Sat 14 Feb 2015 - 15:22

So Ori is likely to be the first great indie then on ONE.

Also looking at prices Ryse & Dead Rising have held there price which was surprised about thought both be like £15 or less not £20+ still used. I don't see me getting either of them but saw project spark is cheap, from that longest BETA in history I know I'm no hood making stuff but some of the made stuff was decent.

Subject: Re: The Xbox One Thu 5 Mar 2015 - 10:27

Tomorrow I might be picking ONE up depending on funds but a few offers have gone but at work I can get the X-Men Blu Ray Console Bundle, Halo MCC, Horizon 2 for £314. That seems the best out there with games I want and I'll just pick up Sunset there as well most likely.

Seen the at GDC Phill Spencer who has certainly help turn the ship around has shown some great looking indies (most first on Xbox) including Elite Dangerous which like we talked about in the podcast is similar to No Man's Sky & Star Citizen, NMS looks the best to me due the aesthetics mainly but could be a great time to be a gamer.

I don't know if this is the best place for this; technically a Microsoft console-related issue, but, er, feel free to move/destroy as appropriate.

We've seen Conker cameo in Project Spark, the Battletoads hiding in the XO Shovel Knight port, and Banjo and Kazooie in a one-off interactive thingy. It seems that Microsoft our bringing out Rare memories, and the response has been positive.

But...

None of these are proper things. I think this is a bit naughty.

Subject: Re: The Xbox One Wed 25 Mar 2015 - 22:18

Like how there are F-Zero and Metroid sections in Nintendo Land? Razz

I take them as a toe in the water: if there's the right amount of positive response from the fans, someone might consider something more at some point. Even that might be wildly optimistic. Shocked

Subject: Re: The Xbox One Wed 25 Mar 2015 - 23:58

Mr Spencer has been hinting about stuff for ages to do with RARE but that might of been the things you bring up Jim.

Subject: Re: The Xbox One Tue 23 Jun 2015 - 22:47

A good few months have past since the last time I was going to get a XBONE then didn't, anything changed any games I should go get as I'm getting Batman with it for £225 if I do buy. I've got like £35 in vouchers to use in GAME as I won't get Batman on PS4, so I've got £35 to get some other games that aren't Batman.

I could get 12 months Xbox Live for one thing, then looking on there website I'm thinking
Forza Horizon 2, £33
Sunset Overdrive, £20
Halo: MCC (but I thought this was packed in with all XBONE's now), £23

Credit for the Store for likes of Massive Chalice, Nero, Lifeless Planet, State of Decay, SMITE, Neverwinter, Forza Fast & Furious, Penuma,#IDARB, Magic 2015, Volgarr, D4, Ori and the Blind Forest

I don't know if all the above are good and if all code money as Neverwinter has to be F2P, right

Subject: Re: The Xbox One Thu 25 Jun 2015 - 17:36

I'm back on the ONE.

Subject: Re: The Xbox One Sat 1 Aug 2015 - 10:25

We will being see more of Xbox One's 2016 (hoping 2016) games this week at gamescom with Scalebound being the big one

Subject: Ugh. Fri 21 Aug 2015 - 18:34

In the general, the eighth generation onwards will see nothing but shooters and other franchises from companies other than Nintendo, I think.

Subject: Re: The Xbox One Fri 21 Aug 2015 - 20:09

On the XBox One, we've got Rare Replay showing that Rare are returning to real games, and now they're working on the new Sea of Thieves. There's also the all-new non-shooters Scalebound and Recore from Hideki Kamiya and Keiji Inafune respectively. That's ignoring the likes of Cuphead, Unravel and other semi-indy games. On PS4 we've had Bloodborne and we're looking at The Last Guardian and Shenmue in the future. I love Nintendo to bits, and as long as they're putting out machines I'll be buying them. But the myth that the other two big platforms are exclusively selling gritty, brown games about shooting, punching and annual franchises really takes a lot of deliberate ignorance.

Subject: Re: The Xbox One Fri 21 Aug 2015 - 20:44

I can only agree with Drunka, yeah most Xbox line up will be gun heavy which I don't mind, I knew that when I bought an XBONE. I wouldn't be surprised if Recore has guns as it is from most of the Metroid Prime team but certainly shouldn't be gritty, brown game and Sony have there mixture of stuff like always.

Along with what seems a bit of a comeback from Japan with RPG's.

I'm not sure I'm a fan of the mini disc-less xbox one rumours I'm hearing about though.

Subject: Re: The Xbox One Fri 21 Aug 2015 - 21:23

That's the first I've heard of a disk less Xbox, but that is the shape of things to come. For those with the broadband to match, at least.

Subject: Re: The Xbox One Sun 6 Sep 2015 - 20:13

Just in case it's still there, the Xbox Store had a discount on Witcher 3 at roughly £32 for the core game alone, which is cheaper than most second hand stores. Well worth a download if you haven't already, or are wanting to rebuy it for cheap.

Subject: Re: The Xbox One Mon 9 Nov 2015 - 17:42

First lot of BC games coming this week:

Out of that list there is only one game I want to play and that's Stick of Truth which is £8 used in GAME

I wonder how long they will support this as is similar to the BC with the 360 and that dried up and PS3 totally scraped it.

Subject: Re: The Xbox One Mon 9 Nov 2015 - 22:23

I'll probably start playing through the Mass Effects on XBone BC. Doesn't look like we're getting a remaster.

Disappointed not to see Reach.

Subject: Re: The Xbox One Mon 9 Nov 2015 - 22:26

They've confirmed it's coming at some point and wars is as well.

Only ME1 at the moment, I still hope for a remaster though.

Subject: Re: The Xbox One Sat 30 Jan 2016 - 15:10

Sorry to post on an older thread, but who actually has a One?

Subject: Re: The Xbox One Sat 30 Jan 2016 - 21:27

Me! Also Andy and Mas.

Subject: Re: The Xbox One Sat 30 Jan 2016 - 21:54

Subject: Re: The Xbox One Sat 30 Jan 2016 - 22:06

Sold mine Drunka, there is Dead Lemon as well.
