More ports and remasters. Great. My Xbox One can continue to sit unplayed.

Adam Tyner

The vast, overwhelming majority of games announced for the Xbox One aren't remasters or ports of previously released games. Why get your panties in a bunch over the tiny trickle of ports/remasters? I seriously think you bought the Xbox One just to have an excuse to bitch about it.

I'm not sure why you celebrate Wind Waker HD and decry this.

Michael Corvin

From the guy that champions Wind Waker HD as a watershed title for the WiiU and totally worth the $50.

Oh, yeah. Replied before finishing reading the thread.

The WiiU was a dumping ground for ports the first 6 months. Can I interest anyone in Mass Effect & Batman: Arkham for $60? Hello? Anyone there?

Gizmo

Thanks for reminding me why I don't post in this thread.

Is it because you get held accountable for your cognitive dissonance?

Adam Tyner

Almost everything you post in every forum is intensely negative. It's as if you see people expressing any sort of excitement or enthusiasm about something, and you have to swoop in and tell them how foolish they are for liking anything.

Moaning about the Xbox One's ports/remasters when your ideal platform, the Wii U, has so many, many, many more (even accounting for the difference in release dates) is baffling.

So one subpar Zelda game gets an HD makeover for $50 and it's totally worth it, but a presumably $60 set with FOUR Halo games redone in HD = my Xbox One can remain unplayed.

Tell you what Gizmo, send me your Xbox One, and I'll send you my Wii U. I'll even throw in a sealed copy of Mario Kart 8.

Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!

Classic case of 'you can dish it, but you can't take it.'

Heaven forbid you get called out for being hypocritical. I never understand why it's hard for people to just admit it they were wrong about something on the internet.

Spiderbite

Exactly. After reading most any post by Gizmo, I always picture a sad & angry little man constantly shaking his fist at his computer.

Supermallet

At least his avatar is appropriate.

I can understood "remastering"console games to Nex Gen to a point but it's not for everyone. In Gizmo's defense the same can be said for PS4 owners who will see "remastered' The Last of Us and possibly God of War series. Good chance many PS3 to PS4 owners won't jump at it.

But Halo well is Halo and has a strong bond with Xbox...the first to the 360 and even to XO eventually. Same could said for Gears...the game that got me to buy a 360 from the original Xbox. A remastered set could include far more than just the original game with fancier visuals which has happened with other games thru the years in S.E or limited sets. Be interesting to see how this Halo set would come about since most is Bungie and part 343 Industries. Behind the scenes artwork, early concepts, and possible seperate soundtrack would make it a wothy look.

But remastered game from 360 to XO (or for that matter PS3 to PS4)...something like trading in a 2009 car for a 2014 same make and model. More newer, better looking, updated features but pretty much drives the same.

Are you telling me you don't want to rebuy all of those classic Nintendo titles on the Wii U, especially after you already bought them on the Wii?

RichC2

But c'mon that was like the best Zelda ever! I used to play it every night (because it did a great job of putting me to sleep)

Supermallet

There are so few games that are truly worth remastering, it's not even funny. Just re-release the original versions through the MS store or the PSN or the Nintendo Network or whatever, and let our purchases transfer to future consoles. Now spend your resources making new fucking games.

Matthew Chmiel

Only Halo 2 would really need to be remade as the HD assets already exist for 3 & 4.

Adam Tyner

Probably not much of it, though. :-/ From an interview posted yesterday:So does that mean 2016 at the earliest?

chuckd21

Lame.

Dan

Maybe it went into full production recently because... they just finished Alan Wake 2, which will be released this summer because I said so and I know everything!!!!)@*!)(!!! OMG! BBQ!!!

mattysemo247

mmmm, Alan Wake 2 will be set during a BBQ. I'll play that.

chuckd21

Hunting thermoses will finally make sense.

Boom! Game over!

Great update. I wonder what's the max size (hard drive) it can support.

Good job Microsoft!
