Beyond the marketing buzzwords though, what it essentially meant is that Blinx could control time - he is The Time Sweeper, after all. This meant slowing time down, speeding time up, recording a moment in time, reversing time, and stopping time entirely, all in service of a war against some evil pigs. That sounds kind of rubbish, and it is - but it's the best rubbish. The sort of rubbish you absolutely need to be a part of. When it joins Game Pass, grab yourself a little slice of gaming history.
Not every video game mascot can be a Mario or Sonic, and these guys definitely aren't either of them. They aren't even Gex.
The service needs a big year, and some big games, if it's going to shape Microsoft's future.
I don’t agree with ‘make or break’ at all. Very sensationalist headline. It’s already pretty successful as it is. Not to say more big games wouldn’t help of course but hardly going to break the service if they aren’t there.
One year can be great but the next year could hurt it . It’s needs to make money long term and 1 year won’t make too much if a difference in the end . MS has had a a decent year here and there just to screw it up for a few in a row adlfrer that . MS needs 5-10 good years in a row
lol right when they already knew a huge game from Bethesda is coming to the service day 1, they came up with this atrocious article. there is no such thing as make-or-break for a service like GP with the backing of MS's wallet. they will just throw money at it because this is the basket that they've decided to put all their eggs into going forward.
The Steam Deck is one of 2022's greatest pieces of gaming hardware, but its integration of Xbox Game Pass is severely lacking right now.
It would be nice to have indeed, the issue is just how exactly they would be able to do it. Microsoft wouldn't require developers to make sure their games are compatible with Proton, meanwhile, they themselves wouldn't do that work and Valve definitely wouldn't either.
So the only thing that I could see happening is a streamlined app for the cloud version.
I've thought about this a lot. I doubt it'll happen though. Valve loses money on each deck sold. They recoup that money with software sales. Adding other platforms natively to the steam deck would cut into their profit. Just my thoughts of course. :)
I dunno if it'll hit gamepass unless it's been confirmed and I'm missing something. Even if it does hit the service it all ultimately wouldn't matter because MS dumped the IP back in 2015 anyway.
Making any future installments none existent. It was no Mario, Sonic but MS needed a mascot. They did spawn 2 games and I guess ppl didn't ultimately Care I guess. MS needs a mascot/platformed this gen with all their studios they have now.
It was a good game and the music was really good too. It was just a little to slow unless you were using Fast-forward powers.
No thanks, I like Blinx as a mascot and I hope they someday revisit it, cuz the gameplay concept is cool but it needs more polish.
Microsoft during the original Xbox-era tried to create a mascot for the platform with Blinx and Voodoo Vince. Master Chief essentially became Xbox’s mascot, despite not being designed to be so.
No, I really don't.
