Halo 5 did have at least one remake I recall off the top of my head. It was a remake of Midship from Halo 2. Forget what it was called in 5.

For some reason I remember that being a DLC map, but you may be right that it was in at launch. |
It was definitely in at launch. Hell it was basically in there twice, cus it had one of those remix versions too...

I had avoided even looking at it until you just brought it up because I knew it was going to be filled with hate and bile, but wow, just wow, it's even worse than I thought it would be. Some of these people are just downright deranged in their attacks against Xbox and Gamepass. And it's always the same few people in every thread doing it, I could have listed the names of everybody in the thread bashing gamepass without even looking at the thread, and I would have been right. The worst of the bunch is the armchair industry analyst, that dude has proven to be downright insufferable in multiple threads now, both on Gamepass and on other topics. |
Game Pass is a trigger for these people. They can't stand the idea of it being successful, even though it is already. Sony already wins in pretty much every category, so Xbox actually being better at something unnerves them.
Haven't posted any impressions in a while.
Flynn: Son of Crimson
Good platformer and action game that's included in Game Pass. It has some Metroidvania elements but it consists of separate levels instead of one bigger world where you need a map and frequently go back to previous screens to reach a place that wasn't accessible before getting a certain upgrade.
7.5/10
eFootball 2022 (PES)
Possibly the last nail in the coffin for the series. The change from Fox Engine to UE4 was a huge mistake. The game has a big problem with streaming textures, even on Series X. The technical issues seem to be even worse on other platforms.
The F2P mode is a joke. They announced it like it was something new when there has been F2P (Lite) versions for years. And no, the F2P version of eFootball 2022 is not better than those. Only a couple of clubs to choose from (9-ish) and the worst of all, only one AI difficulty option.
It's already the worst rated Steam game of all time and looking at Metacritic, where there are still a lot of reviews missing, the scores are abysmal. 2/10 seems to be the highest so far. User reviews are even lower.
Only positive thing to say. It has an incredibly easy achievement list. 1 hour for 1000 Gamerscore. Needless to say there was no point in keeping it on my SSD any longer.
1/10
Final Fantasy XV Episode Ardyn
Is currently on sale and might just be the best DLC episode. A little short like all of them but has some great fights. Also I can finally get the motivation behind his rage. Why they kept all this extra story suff for the DLCs and not the main story is maddening. It's crucial for the whole plot.
The Artful Escape
Great visuals and world design. Gameplay-wise it's pretty simple though. Lot's of platforming even though it's not meant to be challenging. The rythm gameplay is more like Simon Says than truly being based on rythm. Dialogue consists of mostly made up bullshit. I am the amazing XXX from the planet YYY which is known for portals and shit. No you're not, You're Francis Vendetti from Calypso.
7/10
Marvel's Avengers
Played about 3 "levels". Lot's of scripted events but thus far pretty awesome. Combat is really fluid and the punches feel heavy. Good visuals (even great in some places).
Even though it's totally different, you can't help but notice similarities to the Tomb Raider series, especially during platforming and the aforementioned scripted sequences.
It’s a game mode and there is an achievement for said game mode. Makes sense.
How strongly do you guys feel about the Kojima and Xbox game rumor? I hope it's true, but I also don't have a lot of confidence either. Seems more unlikely than likely, unless some concrete evidence comes out.

Jeff Grubb is the guy behind the rumor and said that they have a letter of intent to do a deal so it’s possible that he has seen some documents, let’s see if he adds more to the rumors because of what Nick said on Saturday.

I don't mind if we get new BC or just more FPS Boost, but either way support for old games is great! I've missed so many.
The new browser opens a lot of options. I used parsec to stream a game from my PC to my Xbox. No noticeable input lag, was running good on a 30mbit 1080p 60fps stream. There was slight audio delay however and some micro stuttering which makes it seem like it's running at 50-60fps rather than solid 60fps.
Even at much lower bitrate the frame problems were the same so wasn't a processing power issue, seems more like a framepacing or syncing thingie. Perfectly playable and enjoyable though.
Quick PSA that you can get Ghost Recon Wildlands DLC for free at the moment. You don't need to own the game so if there's any chance you'll play it in future...
