This game is going to be huge...I hope it takes the series in good new directions.

GWAVE5320d ago

I think it'll redefine the franchise, but will it redefine stealth and 3rd-person action like MGS4 and Gears of war have? I don't think so.

Go Gaming Giant5320d ago

I got a demo of it yesterday from an Ubi rep, it looked awesome

ShabzS5320d ago (Edited 5320d ago )

it is definitely tackling things diferently ... sc games in the past always have sam feeling "heavy" in weight and movement... but the way sam moves in the conviction videos its crazy... he's much faster and brutal.

Blaze9295319d ago

this game will be hands down amazing. Can't freaking wait for Feb.

I seriously think how the game will change the way that stealth games will be played in the future!

williamkenny5320d ago

Yep! The 'last know whereabouts' feature seems pretty cool. I look forward to exploiting it!

gameseveryday5320d ago

To gwave:
I seriously think that both of those games are very different.

gameseveryday5320d ago

@ williamkenny:
Not sure how that will work, but it takes away the realism factor from the game really judging by the demos!

williamkenny5320d ago

I guess it will, but even if it is more arcadey, it wont be suck a bad thing.

gameseveryday5320d ago

so folks what do you think will Sam finally get her daughters murderer?

williamkenny5320d ago

I doubt it. Or if he does, then something else will come up that makes sam want to go on another hunt...either way they are going to milk this franchise.

Nothing wrong with more games. As someone who just fundamentally hates xbox, I am pretty jelly that xbox gamers get real BC.

Finally ninja gaiden 2 is BC, I've been waiting on this since they announced BC.

Bane351834d ago (Edited 1834d ago )

Yeah i thought ninja gaiden was gonna get remaster because it wasnt announced for backwards compatible til just now tho i would've been up for joy if they announced max payne 3 for backwards compatible today instead

hiawa231834d ago

I am so wanting MP3 on BC and X1X enhanced

Bane351834d ago (Edited 1834d ago )

@hiawa23 i think R* has plans to remaster MP3 at this point

Z5011834d ago

You couldn't play your copy of NG2 before this announcement?

Bane351834d ago (Edited 1834d ago )

No it just became backwards compatible today

Movefasta19931834d ago

not everybody still has their 360, that's why

Z5011834d ago

Kept your game, but no console to play it on?
No one sells 360's anymore?

Ninja Gaiden 2 is the main game I wanted bcthen alone one x enchanced is this game is more fun than bloodborne

Gwiz1834d ago

No contest,souls games are overhyped for difficulty.

bluebenjamin1834d ago

Very overhyped just because of difficulty not because of fun

1834d ago
Movefasta19931834d ago

facts, once you beat a souls game and do ng plus, you have the game downloaded. Once you return to ng1 and 2 you still can get your ass handed to you lol, the regular enemies are a threat, still attacking even when they are on the ground dismembered.

Gaming4Life19811834d ago

Agreed dark souls, bloodborne, and sekiro are overhyped games and dont compare to ninja gaiden 1 & , ninja gaiden 3 sucks.

What does BB have to do with NG2?
Why not insert Contra Shattered Soldier while you're at it.

bluebenjamin1834d ago

Ninja gaiden was once considered one of the hardest games ninja gaiden 2 has rpg elements so does bloodborn they have similar combat but ninja gaiden 2 just looks better doing it plus its fast pace and flashy combos removing limbs of foes remember 360 put more enemies on screen than ps3 on this game 360 had more dismemberment of limbs than the ps3 vs.360 had a better gpu but ps3 still to this day has an awesome cpu the ps3 had the prettiest ninja gaiden because of native 720 p while 360 pushed 640p now the one X has both higher rez and 360 style dismemberment But Ok for you contra ps2 version and nes

Movefasta19931834d ago

I do think ninja gaiden 1 and 2 are better than souls games, but they aren't even comparable

Z5011834d ago

Again. Why'd you pick BB?
Ninja Gaiden has ninja dog mode = easy
NG2 has a jump and block button
BB has none of those.

You could've picked a Devil May Cry or Bayonetta game. They're more similar to NG2 than BB.

What does PS3 have to do with this announcement? Your insecurities are showing.

Gaming4Life19811834d ago

I think they are being compared because of difficulty but I dont even think that is comparable imo. Ninja gaiden games are better though that's just facts.

Hungryalpaca1834d ago

And Forza is Better than MARIO Kart!!!!!

See how stupid that sounds?

bluebenjamin1834d ago

No Mario Kart is the best racer ever almost anyone can play

timotim1834d ago (Edited 1834d ago )

Amazing news! NG2!?!? Three Splinter Cell games!!! Fable 2&3 (the first is already enhanced)!!! This is what separates Microsoft's version of BC from others...its that they enhance both the performance and visual quality of these titles to keep them current in a lot of cases, instead of playing them exactly how they played and performed back in the day. Whats even better...I don't need to do ANYTHING but download the new patch...amazing.👏

Keep it coming Xbox!

Are the free Xbox Games With Gold titles for July 2018 any good?

Neil writes: "Every single month we hear the same old thing about the Xbox Games With Gold titles. "We don't want that rubbish - we want decent games, we want AAA blockbusters, we want something different". Well, the free Xbox 360 and Xbox One titles being given away during the month of July pretty much tick those boxes. What's the chances there will still be complaints?"

Tom clancy and virtua fighter are great death sqaured is pretty cool idk about assualt

lxeasy2124d ago

Splinter cell conviction is great, vf 5 is fun. Haven't played the other two so I'm excited to try them out.

ApexWolf222124d ago

Great month for 360 titles, X1 titles remind me of early days when all they gave away were indies, I hope they dont start doing that again.

AG1002124d ago

at least you can play the 360 games on xb1 too lol

Goldby2123d ago

Now that there's gamepass, expect bugger AAA to have priority in that, more money for both the dev and Ms more likely

yomfweeee2124d ago

I though Plus was lackluster this month. Gold is way worse.

BQ322124d ago

Vf5 fs is the best fighting game of all time abd backwards compatible, so it is a huge win in my book.

annoyedgamer2124d ago

No these are pretty awful. Virtua Fighter is great and so is Splinter Cell but those are 360 titles.

lxeasy2123d ago

so what if there 360 titles it's still awesome

A new Tom Clancy adventure can be enjoyed on Xbox One due to Back Compat – Is it worth the return?

Carlos writes: "Xbox Backwards Compatibility has shown a strong start to 2018 with a number of top titles being made available to play on Xbox One, but whilst this week doesn’t bring quite as many new arrivals as the past few weeks, there is still one addition for us to get stuck into once more... and it’s one that’s sure to prove a popular addition."

No confusion at all. Just another game added to the list if anyone gets nostalgic.

Vectrexer2263d ago

Are we confused? We get games that we've been enjoyed before at no cost to us!

C-H-E-F2264d ago

"new"? an "old" Tom Clancy Adventure can be enjoyed on xbox one due to back capat is worth the return"
