from the day I saw the trailer I was like OMG awsome. Cant wait for this game to get released, love TPS shooters.

Blaze9294910d ago (Edited 4910d ago )

God damn! When did that happen? Today? Dammit Ubisoft. Good thing I got rid of Splinter Cell: Conviction when I did - summer beta my ass. If I were to keep believing that I'd still have that copy which is only worth like $5 now.

Just better bring me a new Rainbow Six game soon after this Ubisoft.

irepbtown4910d ago

Yeah, Definitely agree with a new Rainbow Six.
But what i've seen from GR Future Soldier, looks brilliant. I cant wait,

Off-topic

2012 will also have real good movies releasing. And 2012 olympics. What a year, What a year. I cant wait.

Jack-Pyro4910d ago

Don't forget the end of the world!

That's a sure fire way to make the year go out with a BANG!

=D

AAACE54910d ago

This entire year of gaming has been fairly unimpressive to me! There were a few decent games, but nothing I got too hooked on. I hate that most of the games I wanted got pushed back to 2011. There was a lot available this year, but I wasn't interest in most of it!

At least 2011 will be a great year for gaming!

Is it me, or are huge date push backs becoming the norm for many major titles that aren't based on existing tech/are new IPs?

jjohan354910d ago

Yeah developers are finally realizing how shitty the unreal engine is for this generation.

I'm with Blaze, I'd rather see Rainbow Six than Ghost Recon. There's a much larger fanbase/community for Rainbow Six than Ghost Recon. Ppl are still playing RB6 games online, while hardly anybody plays any of the Ghost Recon games.

soundslike4910d ago

so right

honestly who actually thought ghost recon was anything other than a spinoff of rb6?

thehitman4910d ago

but those are both spinoffs of socom

hoops4910d ago (Edited 4910d ago )

You do know that Ghost Recon came out before Socom, so what game is copying which? Matter of fact, Rainbow 6 came out in 1998 and the first Socom game came out in 2002. So unless Socom pulled a Michael J. Fox and went back into time, Socom is a direct spin off of those games.
You might want to check release dates for games before you post

thehitman4910d ago

socom had was more in-depth then ghost/rainbow six combine and was the first one to go online.

I hope this fiscal year is still around April or May!?

If this game is delayed I'll be hurt almost to the point of crying!

ingiomar4910d ago

Delays are important to improve the game but DAMNNNN!!!! 2012??

jbiz3204910d ago

Meaning we could see it as early as April 2011.

Neo Nugget4910d ago

Or as late as March 2012, right?

joydestroy4910d ago (Edited 4910d ago )

yup. i'll go ahead and expect the worst, so 2012 man. that sucks. was really looking forward to this game

irepbtown4910d ago

April is early to you?

Me, Early = Jan/Feb. Anything past is not early. Thats just me.

m234910d ago

Son of a bitch! I was looking forward to this game so much, this sucks so hard. From the moment this game was announced I was anticipating the release, hopefully it will be worth the extra wait.

Reborn4910d ago

I was excited to jump on this with some friends.

Sigh.. well, it should be good when its eventually released!

STICKzophrenic4910d ago

Well, the beginning part of the year just became more affordable yet again lol.

Planned on getting: Dead Space 2, Killzone 3, inFamous 2, Ghost Recon: Future Soldier and Gears of War3, and now with the delays of this and Gears 3, I only have three games I'm probably gonna buy.

I'm disappointed by the release, but relieved for the money aspect of it.

Active Reload4910d ago

I got the feeling if you have a 360, you're probably going to want to pick up Bulletstorm. I'm thinking its going to have the Gears 3 beta code.

STICKzophrenic4910d ago

Good lookin' on that.

I'm not much of a MP player though. I definitely prefer a great single player experience. That said, if Bulletstorm reviews well and gamers like it, I'll definitely keep my eyes on it.

m234910d ago

I will be picking up Bulletstorm and the Gears 3 delay plays a big part in that. But i kinda doubt they will have the beta in Bulletstorm, since the games are from two different publishers. Who knows, maybe EA and Microsoft will work out some kind of deal.

Have there been any reviews for this game?

Akira20201668d ago

Wait till you guys see all the Pay To Win micro-transactions that are in this game!! Yes, everything from buying weapons (NOT just skins), to attachments, to skill unlocks, to "time savers", etc....and this is just naming a few. Check out the videos online for Breakpoint's Store!

I was so jacked for this game, but now it's a pass just like this year's COD.
I'm predicting that these greedy companies will soon be the death of video games as we know it.

Revisiting Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Future Soldier

Gamerheadquarters; "Ghost Recon: Future Soldier was a shooter that felt tactical, slightly futuristic and was a blast when played cooperatively."

This is the only game in the franchise that I’ve played

skycaptin52231d ago

I heard the latest entry Wildlands was solid, the Advanced games were enjoyable and the free to play that no longer exists was alright from what I remember.

Zjet2230d ago

Future Soldier is damn good.

Advanced were also great.

Wildlands is really good.... It's like Open World SOCOM

PUBG2230d ago

Ghost Recon: Jungle Storm on PS2 and Ghost Recon: Island Thunder on Xbox were also awesome games.

2pacalypsenow2230d ago

You should really give Advanced Warfighter 1/2 a try.

TheColbertinator2230d ago

Ghost Recon has gone in all kinds of directions but I've enjoyed them all

icerob2230d ago

I have been waiting forever fór GRAW2.. please please please!!!

Elwenil2230d ago

You are a bit late, GRAW2 came out in 2007.

COZMIC2230d ago

I loved this game back in the day. Played multiplayer a lot with my friends. Only complaint I really had was how overpowered the auto turret was in multiplayer. Good times.

3 more arrivals hit Xbox One via Xbox Backwards Compatibility – Are they worth the return?

Carlos writes: "Once again, the Xbox Backwards Compatible library is expanding and with 2018 already proving to be a great year for the program, even in these early months, new titles can only be a good thing right? With that in mind, let’s jump into this week’s additions to see which Xbox 360 titles have hit Xbox One and whether or not they are worth spending time with once more."

Still waiting on Splinter Cell Blacklist

LucasRuinedChildhood2231d ago

Badass game. Way better than Conviction. Cool split screen co-op too.

mikeslemonade2230d ago

Are they worth the return? No.

BC not needed.

Grown Folks Talk2230d ago

The entire series please. Either a X enhanced Chaos Theory, or a remastered Chaos Theory in the Blacklist engine will do.

ULTp0ltergeist2230d ago

Wouldn't mind it at all especially with some enhancements.

chris2352231d ago

no. no backward compatible game is worth anything. i looked at playstation now the other day because finally it‘s available in switzerland. but the only thing that emerged by browsing the old unaltered titles were question marks. it is beyond me who uses this service or prefers to play something very dated instead of playing the actual versions.

starsi3602231d ago

Not everything has to be about how up to date the graphics are.

There are many games from the 360/PS3 era that stand head and shoulders above their current iterations from a gameplay perspective.

Halo 3 campaign versus Halo 5 campaign for example. Halo 3 for me is a very enjoyable game, I found 5 to be bland an uninspired (the multiplayer was good though)

Gaming_1st2230d ago

I thought Halo 3 campaign was not very good. It had rehashed audio, terrible AI, irritating story telling, continued backtracking, very short and the list could go on. Between Halo Ce, Halo 2 and Halo 3. Halo 3 is by far the worst.

timotim2230d ago

And that's just it....every BC title for Xbox is altered in some way. Better performance, smoother visuals, can use system features like screenshots and video clips and even others are completely enhanced to look damn near current gen.

PS Now is actually worse than owning the games because it downgrades the visuals slightly, while its performance is always on a delay and has lag due to it streaming nature. Nothing about PS Now enhances the titles.

In terms of playing old games...well, a good game is a good game. Geometry Wars will forever be good, Zuma will forever be good, Ninja Gaiden will forever be good...the fact that I can play them on my X is a major plus. Look at all the people excited for Sega's Genesis Collection for X1/PS4. If I already bought game in the past, why shouldn't I be able to play it whenever I want?

fathertime44642230d ago (Edited 2230d ago )

@Timothy
I agree with ya, but just want to correct one part of what you said
The game code isn't touched for bc to work on Xbox . It running or looking better on the x is all because of the emulator programming and better hardware.

Wasabi2230d ago

@fathertime

"The game code isn't touched for bc to work on Xbox . It running or looking better on the x is all because of the emulator programming and better hardware"

I agree with ya, but just want to correct part of what you said,

In the case of several Xbox One X backwards compatibility titles

Assassin's Creed
Crackdown
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
Fable Anniversary
Fallout 3
Forza Horizon
Gears of War 3
Halo 3
Mirror’s Edge
Skate 3
The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings

The games have actually been tweaked to run at 4K on the X and/or at a higher framerate. MS actually altered the games code and assets on a per game basis to mark them out as Xbox One X enhanced BC titles, these games feature enhancements not provided solely by the emulator.

fathertime44642229d ago

@fragnum
MS didn't touch the game code on those games. It's a 9 time sampling algorithm specially designed by MS that takes every frame multiplies it by 9. Look it up. It's why not all games are why not all of the games are 4k.

NeoGamer2322230d ago

Not everyone thinks that only new games are worth playing.

A great game is not only based on its graphics but the quality of story, gameplay, controls, music, multiplayer, and environmental setting. There are many great games from previous generations that I would rate higher than most games released this generation.

This generation has been high on beauty but lacklustre on innovation. Especially innovation for single player games.

Pickledpepper2230d ago

I've been having a blast on dead space on my X played through 3 times to get all achievements, now playing dead space 2 on my 3rd run still think them games hold up against newer titles. Love BC addition well worth having.

2230d ago
Cy2230d ago

If no backward compatible game is worth anything, why do the sales of pretty much every game that gets put on BC massively increase after they get added?

OffRoadKing2230d ago

Not pretty much every, a handful of select titles like GTA, COD and RDR. And its easy to "massively increase" sales when they go from virtually nothing to some people buying them.

Zerobalance2231d ago

As an Xbox gamer BC is fine. Been playing Just Cause 2 using my old 360 disc. Old games are history to real gamers. Also replayed RDR too. Never touch my PS now service to expensive & rubbish.

chaos-emeralds2230d ago

Old games are history to real gamers. Written by a casual. I've been gaming since the c64, and I love the old games still. The xbox 360 has some great classics worth revisiting.

NeoGamer2322230d ago

lol. I've been gaming since the Coleco Telstar, the Commodore 64 was my fourth gaming device!

Pickledpepper2230d ago

I've been gaming since atari 2600 woody and still have it now boxed, I still have every console I've ever owned and zx spectrum lol

PUBG2230d ago

Oh yeah? Well I've been gaming since the Texas Instruments TI-99.

Gaming_1st2230d ago

Some people have new games to worry about. Haven't played a old game in quite some time. Now maybe if i didn't have anything to play, i wouldn't mine checking out some old games i wasn't able to play.

LucasRuinedChildhood2231d ago

C'mon now. Stop with the clickbait. I don't have an XB1 myself but this is a really good feature and you don't need to ask "Are they worth the return" every time a few games get added. It's just clickbait. More games is never a problem unless they're atrocious. I've mentioned this point in the past. Unfortunately, these dumb articles are never going to stop.

Also, to PlayStation (my console of preference by far) fans who are doing this in the comments: stop attacking BC. It's one of the reasons the PS2 was such an incredible console. Every time a new console iteration comes out, we shouldn't lose access to all our old games if the old console dies. Consoles are digital platforms now. BC is awesome. End of. "Who wants to play old games?" If you said,"Who wants to watch old movies. I only watch new movies," you'd look like a moron.

Aenea2230d ago

It's a dedicated Xbox site doing this, not a generic gaming site, so rather doubtful they need to have clickbait headlines...

SlyBoogie19932230d ago (Edited 2230d ago )

There's no clickbait here in the slightest, it's an opinion based on whether the games being made available are still of a good quality today. With so many games coming out all the time i'm pretty sure no one has the time to play all of them, these articles look at how well they hold up, offers an opinion on whether it was a good game that was worth playing to begin with or as you put it if they are atrocious and more importantly if it's worth taking time away from the extensive library of Xbox One titles that continue to be added to head back to a game you've probably played before, whilst offering an opinion to those who haven't played them and may wish to now on Xbox One. You wouldn't call a review clickbait and that's an opinion so how is this?

waljaber2230d ago

i got sick from playing 10 years old games, i need new IP.

timotim2231d ago

Had my GR disc from years ago. Still have more of the campaign left to finish...thanks Microsoft...my X library is crazy.
