Microsoft also keeping Postal 4 off Xbox. Now I’m curious about how many games they block.

When I got an Xbox One X, Game Pass was great! Numerous price increases later and the termination of Games With Gold from it and it's lost most of its value for me.

Meanwhile, on the Sony end, you still get your 3 games a month you can add to your library to grow it. Or I can use Game Pass and only play the games Microsoft wants me to with it...

So it's official then, Xbox Game Pass gets no CoD perks, just PlayStation Plus members...http://store.playstation.com/en-us/product/UP0002-CUSA23827_00-CODBO6PLUSPACK01

It looks like there are guns that make use of the mouse support.

Thank goodness, playing with a controller really wasn’t cutting it.

Each day is a different game or add-on for 24 hours only. So that's probably why everyone is coming across different freebies. A little disappointed PureXbox hasn't kept up with all of these, but thankfully I've found all of them thanks to Twitter. Final one if you're quick enough http://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/store/need-for-speed-unbound-palace-upgrade/9N8K1MBWP9MP/0010

@Prestige-worldwide They try to lock you into Ultimate. You can easily upgrade to it, but have to let it expire and then start a new core subscription to move down.

@Pichuka97 this is because you can still buy it via the website (for now) http://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/store/sega-vintage-collection-golden-axe/BRMVLDRVRTJ9/0001

Not sure how this warranted an article, but they are there because people want them. If no one brought them, they wouldn't bother making these bundles. The constant comparison to Fortnight is also weak since CoD has had crazy skins since before that game even existed.

Have had fun with WWE 2K24 so far, and also playing CoD MWIII mostly. Also sprinkled in a bit of Mk11 & Soulcalibur II HD.

I'm really disliking the push towards cloud gaming. I mean latency with our modern TVs (even with game mode enabled) is poor enough, how much more of an input delay do we want?

@vded If you haven't already played them by now, Returns was the 1st and Hong Kong was the last.

These games are awesome! Could do with larger GUI/text settings for TV screens though.

Heck, I rather more games added to backwards compatibility. But any remastered are welcome too.

I don't think anyone actually though the announcement was going to be Microsoft dropping out of the console business. It was what we expected, them testing the waters. Will those games bring in more money from platforms with bigger user bases? Probably, and then you'll see more and more games ported over.

The panic comes in when using even more foresight as eventually, the cost of hardware manufacturing isn't so appealing either if they make a big return on all of these ports. It won't happen this gen, or the next. But it can certainly feel like writing on the wall.

No way they knew it would be this insanely popular, so not surprised the servers struggled. Good on 'em, and for early access it's pretty fleshed out.

Well, it's about time.

I mean, if the digital-only X also has double the storage space, then that'll be the one I ultimately end up getting.

@IronMan30 Activision doesn't seem to see the value in renewing the Transformers licence... but I hope Microsoft sees things differently once they own Activision.

I'm not even that big of an AEW fan (I watched 1 PPV once) and have been loving this game! I tired of the WWE 2K games long ago, and I don't even buy them all. I let a bit of time lapse between purchases but still end up feeling like I've just bought the same game again and it isn't just myself, I can't even convince my friends to play those games with me anymore.

But this, now this is fun! I wasn't sure how good it would turn out, I mean yes No Mercy was the blueprint and you had wrestlers involved that loved that game, but that was also the same scenario for TNA iMPACT. Here though, you can feel the extra mile they went to, to bring that type of game roaring into the present day. I also love how each wrestler feels unique, something normally missing.

I never found Road to Elite as quick as people claim it is... but even then, when there are challengers to complete it multiple times with multiple characters... do we really want it much longer? Still, if they add more content and more paths to it down the road, I wouldn't complain.

Also have to say, this is the 1st time a hardcore (or Lights Out if you will) match actually feels like a hardcore match. Normally there is such a small number of weapons available I wonder why they even bother adding the mode.

So not only have I been having a blast, but I really can't wait to see what the future holds for this game.

Cool, just really wish there was a non-streaming option. Even if it was a paid pro feature or something... I mean modern games aren't the best for streaming so hate to think how bad retro games will fare.

Thank goodness. Since putting the PS4 away, I've missed Guilty Gear, so really happy to see I'll finally be able to play it again on my Xbox.

Okay, I'm starting to really look forward to this coming out.

This is really cool of them.

Maybe this is why Project Zero (Fatal Frame) was never made backwards compatible, if they had plans to rerelease them. I’m fine with that, as long as we get them. Totally pre-ordering this one! Can’t wait to play this one at last.

Scrolling through and then I see Rabbids: Party of Legends. Holy crap, when was the last time we got a Rabbids game on Xbox?

I really haven’t had any issues with the game and my wife and I have been enjoying it since release, so this story is a bit of a surprise.

@CrazyJF I agree, Advance Warfare and Infinite Warfare are the ones I enjoy most and would like to see get sequels. The other problem is any game after these has shrunken down the HUD so much you can barely make out anything in split-screen, killing the fun right there.

Holy crap! This just changed everything.

Super happy we finally have more backwards compatible games!
Also, super sad that they have now said this will be the last of them when still so many great games never got the backwards compatible treatment.

After feeling let down (and just plain ripped-off) by Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl, this is some good news. Looking forward to this one.

Really happy about this.

God, please be true, still so many older games that never became backwards compatible. Now the backwards compatible team doesn't need to work on backwards compatibility for the Series X/S anymore, let's see more games added. Still really want to play The Last Remnant, Splatterhouse, Scarface: The World Is Yours, and the Project Zero (Fatal Frame) games on my Xbox One X.

Have to say, the review pretty much nails it. It's just so bland right now, and despite the common defence of "limited budget" they haven't priced it as a budget title. At this very point in time, just get Smash, or if you're after a cheaper smash alternative Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Smash-Up or Kung Fu Panda Showdown of Legendary Legends are both cheaper more polished alternatives.

That said, I've got a lot of good memories with the licences in this game, so do want to see them really try and succeed. Voice acting is the biggest issue by far, then music, upping the player limit from only 4 could also help as well as the introduction of items can add a bit more chaos and fun that it is currently lacking.

So while I don't think it's worth the buy just yet, keep an eye on it if you haven't already purchased it.

@Wakkawipeout Not this remaster... but the original is still on Xbox through backwards compatibility.

Reading the other comments, it looks like I don't have to add much, as everyone thinks it's stupid to claim Game Pass prevents or destroys game preservation. Not to mention, games featured on Game Pass are all discounted, so if you want to own it forever, that'll be the time to buy the game.

Really cool, I also love that they went with the classic Ninja Turtles. Going to pre-order this little title for sure.

I don't know, I almost feels like it is going out with a whimper. When Ultimate hit, if they made this announcement then, sure, fine. But that was over half a year ago, then all just goes quiet until now and this is the announcement.

I already have it for Wii U, but it'll be cool to play through it again and more convenient to have all my games on the one console, so I'm sold! Now fingers crossed we'll get the earlier entries added to backwards compatibility.

Have been playing Xboxs since the original, but the One X is the 1st I've owned personally. With this 20 year celebration, I hope they really celebrate by giving us a ton more backwards compatible games, now that would feel like a celebration of the past 20 Xbox years.

While I do hope the art style has a bit of added realism by the time of the final product, the most important thing is a fun wrestling game since we haven't had one of those since All-Stars.

This is the main thing I'm interested in, the majority of my Xbox One library are backward compatible games rather than Xbox One games. So really want to see even more titles become backwards compatible, especially hoping for Fatal Frame 1&2 (Project Zero 1&2) and Scarface: The World Is Yours.

When people said WWE 2K20 was the worst looking entry 2K seems to have taken it as a challenge rather than criticism and shown us all that they can make something that looks far worse.

@Link41x That avatar, that name, I was thinking could it be, and it is you! Good to see ya!

Hopefully the visuals were completely overhauled and that's why we haven't heard anything before now...
