ReCore Definitive Editions has arrived as a free update for all who owns the original and as a part of Xbox Game Pass giving it to us with improved visuals and some of the bugs fixed. Let’s compare both versions running on Xbox One S and see what kind of graphical upgrade we can expect.
Of course Sunset Overdrive gets a nod. It's Insomniac!
I personally think there's better on gamepass then what was listed. State of decay imo is better then anything listed. Recore seemed alright for what I played on there also.
Odd that he specified 'Game Pass Ultimate' instead of just 'Game Pass' just so he could include a relatively weak choice comparably in 'Alice: Madness Returns' which is available with EA Play. SoD was a far better overlooked game to have listed.
Omar Banat: Xbox Game Pass is one of the most ingenious services that Microsoft has come up with, but for these five games, it didn't come soon enough.
Game Pass certainly could have helped Sunset Overdrive which was underrated, imo.
"But the focus of the day is Remedy’s 2016 critically acclaimed Xbox exclusive, Quantum Break, and how Game Pass could have given it a much-needed bump."
Quantum Break received overall good reviews. Not great, but good. Critically acclaimed? Sorry, no. That's hyperbole.
"And fast-forwarding a few years, we saw what a boon Game Pass was for Gears 5. Not only did Game Pass help get the game into the hands of more Xbox and PC players, but it also helped it exceed Gears of War 4 in sales."
Gears 5 was launched on Steam day one. Gears of War 4 still isn't on Steam. I think that's important to point out if you are going to allude to reasons why one game outsold another.
There’s no denying how good Gamepass is but I’m still foggy on how it benefits developers/publishers. Like, do they just get one lump sum of cash to put the title on Gamepass? I mean, I personally canceled my pre-order for Outriders when I saw it’s going to be on Gamepass day 1. Judging by that I’m not sure Gamepass helps with the sales of games, rather it does expose games to more players, but how much of that equates to sales down-the-road?
The Humble Store is running a Microsoft Studios Sale with games up to 80% off all week long. Right now you can get Quantum Break for $9.99, Recore: Definitive Edition for $9.99, and State of Decay for $3.99. The sale ends in six days.
I'm watching this on my phone but I cannot tell the difference outside the def has darker colors
Your copy of ReCore is only definitive for as long as Microsoft keep offering the update on their service. Unless they release a new version on disc then no one really owns the Definitive Edition.
I think we might be able to see any difference if there was 4K quality in the options of the video.
The hdr effect is very nice. Good update.
