Play Magazine writes: "Q: ATV Offroad Fury was a milestone for me as a racing game fan, and while visual fidelity and deeper gameplay have made each passing game better, Reflex strikes me as the first truly innovative off-road racer since, due to the true deformation and separate rider bike controls. Beginning with the deformation, we've all seen residual tread textures, but in Reflex every groove has actual collision, meaning the entire game has a kind of living topsoil…it's truly remarkable. How did you achieve this? Is it 100% proprietary?
Elliott Olson – I'll answer the 2nd question first, yes it is 100% proprietary which leads me to answer the first: we can't say. Seriously though, we leveraged some technology we had prior on top of new tech to make what we have now. All things engine-related were built from the ground up and completely new. New physics, new terrain, etc, we are extremely proud that we were able to pull this off. We didn't want this to be smoke and mirrors, but the real deal. That's why it is fast, and that's why it affects you and stays around while you are in the level.
A number of games are leaving Xbox Game Pass before April 16. They include Prey and Guacamelee for console.

Backward compatibility I'd pure greatness. Might ass well add a Motocross game to my collection
Whoop there it is, BC strikes again. Ok cool, I'll try it out. Sadly I haven't played a motocross game since like PS2/Xbox days.
Hope its good.
Been a busy week for Xbox bc...
Neil writes "October. The busiest time of year for new game releases. And this year is no different with a huge number of titles releasing over the next 30 days or so.
So you can't really blame the team back at Xbox HQ for delivering a bevy of Games With Gold titles that really do fail to enthuse many. In fact, whilst the free Xbox One and Xbox 360 games given away during September were pretty damn decent, October's free titles will quite possibly go down as one of the worst combination of Games With Gold titles this year."
Where are the fanboys previously calling out PS+ as indie+ etc for many months this year, to complain about Octobers GwG indie line-up? Hypocrites.
Well, it's decent offering. But it's just lackluster this month.
I noticed that when Xbox has a major release like Gears of War, MS releases weaker games on Games with Gold to get you to play Gears. While Sony gives you better games to stop people from playing Gears. Both Sony and MS do this.
No but stop complaining about the monthly courtesy games. Complain about the £40 games with microtransactions.
