It arrived earlier this week: an Xbox Live redeem code for one of the most ambitious remastering projects ever undertaken, offering four complete classic Halo titles brought across to Xbox One, spread across 44.5GB of data. Halo: The Master Chief Collection is in the house - the single-player elements final, with multiplayer and co-op currently being fixed up via that forthcoming 20GB Day One patch. With embargoes firmly in place and the multiplayer modes still being polished off as we write, what we can tell you about this fascinating package is limited but enlightening nonetheless.
The newest From Software game is just around the corner. These are five excellent games to play while waiting for Armored Core 6.
With the release date being just a little over a week away, it may not be a good idea to burn yourself out on mech games until then.
Surprised that the article didn’t mention Mechwarrior 5: Mercenaries if we’re talking about mech-related games.
These are some of the best and most popular video game franchises now owned by Xbox Game Studios and Microsoft.
Microsoft was involved with Halo, Gears, Forza, Ori, Flight Simulator and Fable from early development, I will give them credit for those franchises. Fallout, Elder Scrolls and Doom were established franchise before being acquired by MS.
Ah yes, feels like forever ago since Microsoft created Skyrim. So much so, I had actually forgotten they had created it and the other Elder Scrolls games! 🤔
*They really shaped my preteen years w the original Doom too!
I fully expect all these popular franchises to be killed off by Microsoft. Just a matter of time.
Unless they take a huge distance approach which pretty much means they don't ba e anything to do with the games being made ...in that case the franchises should be fine. But then...they shouldn't really get credit.
Soon Microsoft will be known for making Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, Candy Crush, Call of Duty etc. Lmao they know what they're doing. Especially with the archiving issue the gaming industry has.
You mean any studio Microsoft could acquire to flog last gen games on game pass ... What happened to HD-DVD that Microsoft pushed so hard ...
Non-playable characters in certain games are meme material, thanks to their foolish behavior. These are the big-budget games with the dumbest NPCs.
Bethesda makes the most consistently stupid NPCs, like really bad... yet I still can't help but love playing their games. Guilty pleasure, I guess. *sigh* 😩
Every Bethesda game and Every Halo game. This list needed to have Cyberpunk somewhere.
This is THE game that MS has. If this doesn't sell consoles nothing else will. Hell even I want an xbone for this game. I think I might fire up my good ol xbox for the original games on there. Halo 1 and 2 are quite possibly the best games on the series anyway.
Glowing preview and really hanmers home just how big an achievement this is. For all intents and purposes, a package as comprehensive and generous as this, should not exist but this HD Remaster will most likely be the best of its kind for many many years to come.
Assuming everything works fine day one, very few people can be left with any doubt that Halo is back and with a bang. Hail to the king!
Every video I have seen is stunning will pre order this week.
hmm i kinda agree with them maybe have an option to run the games without the 2 engines side by side
i mean its a cool feature but if its causing some hiccups
idk
This looks really nice. :O
Dammit, MS are doing a good job of making people want to buy X1s. I told myself I'd only get one once the slim comes out. (partly because the damn thing doesnt fit in my TV cabinet, lol). So I'm going to have a long wait probably.
Good job MS anyway.
It's still a shame this isn't coming to Windows though, but I can totally see why haha.
