Prototype 2 launched just 3 weeks ago and was the top selling game in April. For performing so well, Future Shop discounted the game to $39.99 on Friday. Well, every other Canadian retailer has reacted to this and now you can pick the game up for that price, complete with a copy of the original Prototype at Wal-Mart.
Get EA Play, over 100 AAA games available, free games every month, free perks on games, and more with three months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate for only $24.99.
The amount of quality games you get with the service is insane. Especially on Xbox, where there's a bunch of past gen titles. Everything there for you to download. No need to stream, unless you want to. Definitely the best gaming service on the market; especially for a console gamer.
As a PC guy, I'll happily admit that. I wish they found a way to have access to the 360/original Xbox titles without streaming, but it is what it is.
"only" $100... many are still paying 2$/month and enjoying gamepass. Atm, 100$/year is a bad deal, imho.
@Brazz
I mean it depends. New, fairly new, and ofc all of mcsfts first party AAA games make it on gamepass. Really though you should just buy a single month for specific games you want to play and then once your done with those games, go ahead and cancel.
I love how people talk about how great Game pass is when its $180 a yr (which is the one I'd be interested in) or $120 a yr for it with XBL (WHICH IT NEEDS!) was is not cheap!j. When I was averaging like $30 a yr for XBL. And I also dont like how the games are rotated out.
look for deals, they are out there, you dont have to pay the full 180, im set for 4 years with ultimate for that price basically. its a steal, if they release 4 good exclsuives a year it more then pays for it and everything else is a icing on the cake and theres a lot to play with, over 350 games to choose from
Whats really funny is how "good" it supposedly is yet all you ever hear people say is that they'll repeatedly cancel and re-sub later if something they like comes a long. Doesn't sound like that great of a service if you're frequently canceling and re-subbing. Also trying to convince people they're going to get to do that for a dollar forever is ridiculous.
@dbcoops
That's what happens when you believe all the internet try hards and associate that with an entire install base.
If you believed everything people said on the internet, half of the people here on N4G would all have a series X/PS5 since launch, and are running 3080ti on their PC.
At the end of the day, if you need to create a new gmail account every month just to circumvent a $10 - 15 monthly fee for new games, you probably shouldn't be gaming. I'm going to assume that's a vast minority though. Like Netflix I'm sure the majority just subscribe and let it do its thing.
To address the narrative you're trying to create though, people circumventing the system says nothing about the quality of the system. It just shows you how cheap people can be, if anything. Though, again, I think you're attributing the actions of a minority to the whole.
Xbox Live didn't give you day one 1st party releases. Same as 3rd party games, as well as those that released just a few months prior.
It also didn't allow you to stream games on almost anything with an internet connection.
There's a bit of a difference there.
You're a fool if you're paying $180 a year. I've routinely gotten 3 months XBOX Ultimate for $20-30. It just depends on the time or major titles releases. I have almost 3 years worth and I don't think I've spent more than $200. I'm good until August of 2024 on both PC and Xbox. Last year CD Keys were selling 3 months of Ultimate for $20 each. The 1 month was under $10 so I snagged a few of those. All said and done I added over two years in addition to my 1 year after I converted Xbox Live Gold to Game Pass.
Probably but I can't confirm. I've just being doing yearly for $75. My year is up in March so I'll find out for sure around then.
Yes the conversion is still working. I wouldn’t be surprised if you could get 3 years for less then $181.
Buying gold and converting with 1 month GPU is still the cheapest way but for people looking to extend current subscriptions then $25 for 3 months is a good price.
In an industry that grows increasingly reliant on remasters, few were worth complaining about, making the original versions preferable in most respects.
Not sure what happened with FFCC. They really bungled it big time. It's a shame too.
I really wanted to play that one too, but after the demo I was disinterested in buying it.
Glad Square really likes putting out demos. It can help you dodge a bullet. Lol
To this day, the Crystal Chronicles remaster still left me with a sour taste. I really wondered how Square reacted to the feedback.
I thought the Prototype games had terrible graphics even when they first came out. Pretty crazy that the remasters essentially got nothing in the way of visual upgrades. A resolution bump. Yay.
Let alone Activision kept those prices at release price for a year before they even thought to reduce them in a sale.
To me, this topic is pretty easy to answer as I recall laughing at loud when Bethesda announced that PPL on consoles (Xbox1 and Ps4) would need to buy Skyrim Special edition and it would be free for existing pc Owner because it was basically the same game at max setting.
I often gave this answers to numerous ppl who where happy about paying 40$ for cheap remaster that would have been free on PC by saying everybody wins PC players gets the upgrade for free because they never paid in the past for quick fix that a mod of graphics card could do and Consoles players get to pay because they love paying and defend the practice of paying (like the numerous I have a VHS tape of the movie why don't they give me a free DVD version).
So for me, any crappy Remasters that deserve to be on this list are the ones that only give a frame boost and resolution boost for a full-price experience from the previous generation. Now ill exclude compilations like Batman, Uncharted Trilogy, Bioshock Trilogy, etc. because they were actually giving you more than 1 game so I'll count them as a collection instead of remasters Nor should I included games that have complete remade graphics or add new playable elements (Metro 2033 Redux, Quake, Gears of War Ultimate)
Since there are too many games ill give some example that comes to mind: Heavy Rain Remaster, The Last of US remaster, God of War 3 remasters, Burnout Paradise city Remaster, Tomb Raider Definitive Edition. Baja: Edge of Control HD, etc.
Again my main complaint here (has it was last gen) is that these kinds of remastering are now free (called performance patches now) but were sold at a premium price despite having almost no work to put in.
Walmart’s unannounced cloud gaming service, codenamed Project Storm, has been detailed in new confidential emails. An exhibit in the Epic Games v. Apple trial reveals Walmart’s efforts to pitch its cloud gaming service to Epic Games and get Fortnite on board.
Based on the behavior we’re seeing come out this week via the courts - they will fit in perfectly & be right at home.
It’s funny how all these other companies just think they can come into gaming and succeed.
Nice deal + 1st game free, not bad at all!
I just got mine last weekend.
