Rare on Replay: as gamers we lose the past too easily

GR:

"There's nothing quite like dusting off an old console, struggling to work out if it'll actually work with your considerably newer TV and finally letting all those memories and over-sized polygons wash over like a retro rain. Sadly, with modern machines being the powerhouses that they are, dialing back the hardware clock is fast becoming a lost pastime."

some of us can't let go.. There are certain games that still haunt me that I've got to revisit. Thank MS for Backward Compatibility.. :D

ChronoJoe3210d ago

I would say, most of the rare replay collection is better off kept as a memory. Only Banjo Kazooie (1&2), Conker, Nuts and Bolts, Kameo and Viva Pinyata are really worth the replay, on the replay collection.

The ZX spectrum games are relics, and do not hold up today in respect to their design, or controls. They are pieces of history that have been far outclassed by their modern day counterparts. Meanwhile, games like Perfect Dark Zero, were never good games to begin with and titles like the original Perfect Dark, and Jet Force Gemmini are very simplistic in comparison to modern day shooters, while at the same time crippled by counter-intuitive control schemes that don't map nicely to the XBOX ONE controller.

Overall the bundle is decent, but it's not quite as amazing as some make out. It's very unlikely that most consumers will get much entertainment out of the majority of titles on the rare replay collection.

Cant wait to see Cinderella at the ball now because it's pure spin spin spin. Pure talking from Microsoft for years and years but they never have anything to show. -Spinderella-

AngelicIceDiamond1784d ago

Or..Or you can just simply mind ya damn buissness. I know what a revelation. I mean think about it, if you want nothing to do with these devs or MS you can simply look the other way and enjoy what you like. I know its a break through in psychological science. Well I'm passing on this knowledge on to you....

The first 4 commenters nobody gives a shit what you have to say. Just shut up its not hard.

MajorLazer1782d ago

Do you have any actual interest in MS products, other than hating? I keep an eye out because although I haven't owned an Xbox product since about 2010, I do hope they figure their shit out. You on the otherhand are purely here to hate.

I love my Samsung products, won't catch me on forums actively chatting shit about Apple though because I have no interest in their products or what they do.

UnholyLight1782d ago

Don't you guys know it's the internet, people are always out there willing to talk down on stuff and waste everyone's time. Plus it's N4G where being a Microsoft troll the last 4-5 years earns you God tier praise and approval.

Legend has it, she’s still spinning to this day.

Yeh I've heard this before. Last e3

And the one before
And before
And before that.

Double_O_Revan1782d ago

But just wait till NEXT E3!! ;)

rainslacker1782d ago

And to think, Peter Molyneux left when MS decided to double down on spin and undelivered promises.

thatguyhayat1782d ago

Yeah limitless like how Phil says wait till next E3

Kaedro1782d ago

That is exactly what I keep saying. Every e3 they are always making promises and showing very very few gameplay. Then, when their games come out (if they are not canceled) most of them end up disappointing.
