* XBL worked when PSN didn't, in the beginning of the cycle In the 360 timeframe, a few things came together: You have to exceed your competitor significantly to have people jump over. RTS may be, if they stick the Halo brand on it. I guess I just prefer to appreciate games rather than critique them, I don't know what else to say.Īs this point, I think it's pretty clear Xbox players strongly favours FPS games. There was no digital library for Xbox until the 360.

I know it was present when it came out, but since then has gone offline and this will be the only way to play it online. That's the entire point of them adding Xbox Live functionality. You wouldn't even be able to play the game online if you bought the game and an OG Xbox right now. I'm not changing that fact that it'll be native 480p. I am guessing, but it's a pretty solid guess. All except for this one and Steel Battalion. I played tons of those super niche Xbox OG games when I was in my teens - Gunvalkyrie, Otogi, JSRF, etc. It's finally an opportunity to play this game. Of course those are the standards, but the fact that they're taking this old, super niche game that didn't sell very well **at all** and giving it to us on a new console is what matters to me. I hope you enjoy it - really I do, but this game is not worth more the £5 in the state its strongly suggested to be released in. >I for one am super excited because I never got to play this game when I was 14, around the time it came out. Always wanted to but my small town Wal Mart didn't get any copies or they were sold out. Well, the only feature we'd be missing really is achievements. >If you bought the original game and an OG Xbox right now, you would not have any of those things I listed above. This means that this re release isn't meeting an expected *standard* for nowadays consoles. We have had many re releases come in 1080p. Not only that, the X1 will most likely upscale the game to (obviously non-native) 1080p. > It's the original game, that's the entire purpose of a re-release.

That comes free with the extra horsepower of the Xbox One vs original Xbox. I would argue that they're not new features at all.įixed framerate means nothing. None of the microtransactions are necessary.>They added achievements, Xbox Live support, and the framerate has been improved and fixed. Watch out for Will-O-Wisp! Purchase the $6.99 skill pack to support the developers. Some of the missions are a slog, but they are skippable now! After that, head online and collect the online skills! They are incredibly unique. Play through the single player at least once, and avoid spoilers! The story is actually quite special.

No more building an arsenal just to use 1 pointless skill to finish one mission. Failing a mission three times allows you to skip it entirely. The load times are virtually non-existent now. The game holds up incredibly well when brought to 4K. That reboot ended up falling through, but that paved the way for this release! This is a HUGE improvement over the original. When a new Phantom Dust was announced at E3 2014, I ran out and bought an Xbox One. On 4K and better than ever! A classic lives again! Phantom Dust is one of my all time favorite games. That said, Desctructoid is a site I frequent and definitely agree to the general sentiment that 'your mileage may vary' when it comes to review quality and reviewer. In no world does this game deserve a 2/10.

That said, Desctructoid Let me address the Destructoid review: It was certainly overly critical. Let me address the Destructoid review: It was certainly overly critical.
