First 'Games on Demand' titles launch

Console Monster writes: "The first titles have launched for the Xbox 360 Games on Demand. The seven titles are now available to Xbox Live members that were fortunate enough to obtain a place in the Preview Program. What's interesting about the titles is the game's pricing, which is listed in pound and pence, rather than in Microsoft Points. The titles currently available are as follows:

Call of Duty 2 - £19.99
Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion - £19.99
Need for Speed Carbon - £19.99
LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga - £19.99
Mass Effect - £19.99
Viva Piñata - £19.99
Assassin's Creed - £19.99

The remaining Games on Demand titles, revealed yesterday, will be rolled out over the next few days, before the new dashboard update is available to all Xbox Live users on the 11th August..."

Wow this got hot and no one commented .

militant075378d ago

anybody know if this games is reigon locked ?
I mean i cant download movies/original xbox..etc from the US marketplace outside the US, is it the same?

juanvan5378d ago

And is that price right 20 euro? that would be like 40 US.. I think something is wrong with that pricing.

You guys can't download those games over seas. It might be the same that would suck, but you will know for sure in 4days.

Grown Folks Talk5378d ago

are $29.99 US. A few, like Mass Effect & Carbon are $19.99. Only credit card for purchase at the moment, no points. Largest files I've seen are just over 6 gigs.

dragunrising5378d ago

I hope that most of the releases are $20. $30 is a little too much. Also, I may need a larger hard drive than 120 GB...:-p

Mass Effect is $20...buy it

Grown Folks Talk5378d ago

For those that don't like to buy used, some of these titles are hard to find new any more. Plus, there's those who just don't like being around other people. Already have Mass Effect. If Assassin's Creed was $20, i'd probably get it.

Grown Folks Talk5378d ago

I just noticed below the purchase info that you can hit the y button to switch between cc & points.

Assassin's Creed
GOD Price: £19.99
Play.com Price: £8.99 (Disc based, so can be re-sold)
Saving: £11

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
GOD Price: £19.99
Play.com Price: £13.48 (Disc based, so can be re-sold)
Saving: £6.51

Lego Star Wars : The Complete Saga
GOD Price: £19.99
Play.com Price: £14.99 (Disc based, so can be re-sold)
Saving: £5

Mass Effect
GOD Price: £19.99
Play.com Price: £11.50 (Disc based, so can be re-sold)
Saving: £8.49

I think I can see a major flaw in this idea.

riksweeney5378d ago

Yes but your method requires me to have to rely on the postal service and considering there's a strike on I'll download it and have finished it before your copy even arrives.

Granted, it costs a little more but it does mean I can play it immediately.

Scarfy5378d ago

They're not exactly small downloads, though. So I hope you have a good provider, otherwise it could take just as long.

Who are you with?

If this is true, I hope it leads to Morrowind getting remade next.

-Foxtrot8d ago

I thought they’d go for Morrowind first to be honest but this is a welcoming surprise to tide us over before ES6

TheColbertinator8d ago

Well said. Exactly my thoughts too.

Tedakin8d ago

Unreal Engine isn't efficient for open world games, so I question the reliability of this story.

isarai8d ago

Yeah, 1st thing that came to my mind too, although i CAN see it being likely for ease if use, but it's not going to run very well if so

Tacoboto8d ago (Edited 8d ago )

I'd wonder if it would just be exploiting Unreal for graphics but the underlying engine/logic is still the original framework.

Like how we had the graphical remakes of Halo Anniversary, Tomb Raider I-III, and Demon's Souls.

Could also end up a disaster like the GTA Trilogy

mkis0077d ago

I have heard that too but even if it's modified isnt arkham knight UE?

Fragslayer7d ago

"remake will run both an Unreal Engine 5 project and the old Oblivion project. For instance, new graphics are rendered in the Unreal Engine 5 project, but most of the gameplay and physics are still done on the original Oblivion engine"

So with this logic it'll run just fine using UE5 tool sets on top of Gamebryo's engine or maybe even Creation Engine, who knows.

Hopefully modders can fix the aged combart in this game if this is true. Enemies leveling up with you broke and defeated the whole purpose of leveling up.

Fragslayer7d ago

Yeah it could use some tuning for sure hence the need for a Remake not a Remaster. I'm surprised it's even a conversation within them group which makes me skeptical it's Oblivion. I wouldn't say they shouldn't level up at all though maybe just a leave them a couple levels behind to appease the masses.
