The one I am looking forward to is Goldeneye I saw that it is going to Switch too

Really looking forward to playing this after so many years. Glad it’s going to be on game pass.

This is incredible news. I've been giddy for hours hahaha Just hearing that intro music again in the teaser got me excited beyond belief.

Oh man, just read that there's no online MP for Xbox. Apparently online multiplayer is a Switch exclusive??? I hate it.

Why would they do that? Switch isn’t exactly renowned for multiplayer shooters, even though the original was on a Nintendo console. Seems quite dumb.

 

[Wolvieboy17]

Yeah, I'm assuming it was part of the licensing? So it means Xbox will have the better looking remaster, but Switch has the online MP. Seems pretty lame TBH.

Must be. Licensing leads to a lot of lost opportunities later down the line for a time when the original contracts didn’t necessarily consider and for new media that wasn’t relevant (or even invented) at the time . A lot of games get removed for eg (songs seem to be a big issue) even though they could continue making money for all parties. Defunct companies also are often involved.

Chivalry 2 is loads of fun!

Chivalry 2 is loads of fun!

Yeah, I’d already played it quite a lot. Great with friends. It should see another nice boost in playing population with this.

Already a boost of 500k new players, apparently!

Wow, looking forward to getting back on. Hopefully some nice new cannon fodder.

Game Pass adds new Xbox horror game Scorn today

 

[Iceman]

72 metacritic for Scorn (pc version) so far.

[Teelie]

I was hoping for better but it definitely could be worse. Over half of them are positive with a chunk of mixed and 4 negative out of 50 reviews. Of course that is the PC reviews, the Series X are 1 positive and 3 mixed.

May be one for me to check out later once more Series X reviews are in.

 

[Silvermoth]

I played a bit of it. It’s a beautiful game but the puzzles are so boring

Vampire Survivors is a lot of fun.

What kind of game is it? Sounds like coop survival.

 

[Gee]

What kind of game is it? Sounds like coop survival.

It's a single-player survival, bullet-hell roguelite. Visually, it reminds of those Flash games back in the days.

Gameplay loop is quite simple: move around the map killing swarms of enemies, collect XP, level up, choose a skill or upgrade, rinse and repeat. Try to survive as long as you can. Eventually, more enemies spawn but you also become more powerful.

It's very addictive, though. One of those "one more quick run before bed" and you realize you're still playing two hours later... I sometimes start a run while my code compiles or during those endless online meetings where I'm not concerned but still get invited to for some reason.

Sounds like a very productive thing to do during meetings.

Thanks will try it. Saw a few friends playing it yesterday. I like vampires too.
