What's wrong with the death animations?

Nothing is wrong with them from a technical sense, they're just painful to watch. Reminds me of the death animations in the Tomb Raider reboot, those were painful to watch too.

Heh, I guess it depends on the perspective. I love those death animations, fit very well with the tone that Friday the 13th established on the movies themselves. Moderating themselves would only give angle to a weaker monster here.

MS should release Conker: L&R HD for free on XB1 especially the Multiplayer portion IMO it's basically free money just sitting there.

Hopefully ReCore was just below 50k retail and hopefully it did well digital since it was the first Play Anywhere game.

With it's lower price point and  it been the  first Play Anywhere title I think Recore will be above 50% digital ratio. Hopefully I'm right otherwise it would be dissapointing.

funny, how no1 here is talking about the biggest gaming news this year:
http://wccftech.com/spencer-xbox-play-anywhere-doing-well-adoption-big-third-party-publishers-will-come/

CoD, Fifa / Madden, BF, next Red Dead, or whatever ohter games could possible become play anywhere titel and will be playable and sold on windows 10

Probably because we've known that since E3

We also already have two 3rd party games (The Ark Survival Evolved and Everspace) 

It will probably be tough convincing the bigger 3rd party developers to do it though.

I didn't know that, I thought it was just 1st party titles.

That makes Sept 2016 the Xbox Ones biggest non-holiday month.



Are third parties really losing sales by offering "Play Any Where"? What is the percentage of people that buy the same game twice? I'don't think the extra money they get from selling it digitally is bigger than the money they lose from people who'll buy one copy instead of two. Hence, more profit.

Anyone had any problems using disc for BC at all? I used my Mass Effect and Fable II discs when it was first avaliable and just inserted the disc and it started to download and install, I'm now trying to get my Fable III and Lost odyssey disc to work but nothign happens when I put them in. I dug out my actual 360 to try them and make sure the discs still work and they are fine.

One I put the disc in nothing happens and and a "Install disc" tile shows and nothing happens when you click it, Anyone got a suggestion?

I have been playing LO for 18 hours until now and I never experienced this. I'd recommend contacting Microsoft.

I tried LO a few more times on 360 and I think it could actually be my Disc 1 not reading properly and only working about 1/5 times on the 360 so I visited GAME website and purchased a copy for £2.99 which seemed a bargain :) Not sure why the Fable III doesn't work though as that is wolrking completely fine on the 360.

I think they won't lose sales. I mean, like you said, who would buy the game twice otherwise?

It should rather help devs. It can increase the amount of digital sales since it only works for digital game purchases if I understood it correct. There will be some who buy it only digital instead of physical because of this and that is obviously much better for the publisher. 

Only real problem is for Ubisoft and EA (well, and Blizzard) who have their own services and don't want to sell less on thier own one b/c of the Windows 10 store. But at least Ubisoft already releases games on Steam.
