JSRF was an original Xbox game, not an Xbox 360 game, so outside of possibly some sort of revival of CXBX, with modifications because of how CXBX worked, youll be waiting for quite a while most likely.
Raytracing with cel shading would probably look prettt bad, by the way. It could be okay with reflections, maybe, but the style of cel shading helps simpler effects look better.
You can already emulate it in 4k with Xemu.
Still waiting on the return of Gungage.
Battlefield 4 was the last time Battlefield felt like Battlefield, but only after a bunch of fixes and DLC. Nowadays its a completely different game.
Battlefield is more about squad play and objectives than CoD is. CoD has much faster player movement, Battlefield has slower player movement but it has vehicles to compensate on the bigger maps.
Meaningless. Everyone knows this game is going to launch a mess, just like the last like, 5 Battlefield games.
Even a 25% tariff on the import value of a physical is still only like $0.20, even if it had a 100% tariff it would only increase the price by like $2 because tariffs are not based on final sale price, it is based on the import value which is way lower than MSRP. MSRP is set to give importers profit after paying import fees, tariffs, shipping from the port to distributors, etc.
If someone is paying 25% more based on MSRP “because of tariffs,” you are 100% getting scammed.
Some games were programmed with the hinge gap in mind, so squeezing both screens together can lead to unexpected timing when objects can move between both screens, for example Metroid Prime Pinball.
While I definitely agree the overall best design goes to the Atari 2600, this comes in close second for me:
This bad boy (or girl, rather) is the Casio Loopy. Yes, Casio, the company primarily known for making wristwatches. This console was only released in Japan, and when it launched it had a target demographic of girls and young women. The console came with a built-in sticker printer, and the games were woman-targeted games in genres like romance, fashion, and life simulation (like Animal Crossing). Only 10 games were ever made for the Loopy, by the way. Its biggest failure and reason for not selling well was being a console that had games that looked like the SNES but having to directly compete with the PS1 and N64, as well as the replaceable sticker cartridges being very expensive.
Now, I am a man, and I am clearly not a part of the target demographic of this console. The games are entirely uninteresting to me, except maybe the Animal Crossing-like game “I Want A Room In Loopy Town.” But something about the curved shape of the console and its cool purple hue speak to me. The black cover for the sticker ejection port has me imagining a newer version playing an animated logo on that part if a small screen was behind it. The absurdly massive Eject button just looks like it gives the most satisfying “kerchunk” when you press it to eject a cartridge.
In third place I’d have to give a shout out to the Apple iMac G3, even though I really dislike Apple products and its neither a game console.or made for gaming in general, something about the white and bold color combo just looks really cool. The mouse was really bad though. Got a bit of that Frutiger Aero look.
Helldivers 2 is different. The game already released, and then Sony tried adding PS Account requirement after many people had already bought the game.
Forza Horizon 5 has not released on PlayStation yet, and anyone that currently plays the game does so on platforms that they do have a Microsoft Account. For example, playing the game on Steam still requires you to link a Microsoft Account.
The Helldivers 2 things wasn’t that the game needed an account, it was because it was added on later. Its also different from games like Horizon Forbidden West or God of War Ragnarok because both of those are singleplayer games and should not require any kind of account to play the game as they do not have online gameplay.
