well it is a preview program so I expect issues.

Bigpappy3194d ago

That is a given. Too have to uninstall to play, means there was a major change to the code. That is more than likely a GOOD thing.

Double_O_Revan3194d ago

Interesting its only Rare games though. Wonder the reason.

Jmanzare3194d ago

Yea I was thinking that too maybe it has something to do with the rare replay.. I got this message on my Xbox I was hoping for new games

JeffGUNZ3193d ago

I was really hoping I would see Gears of War 3 added.

Aenea3194d ago

They might have found a rare bug! :p :D

Must be slow news day.

I have no clue how this is news. Especially when everyone in the preview program is receiving a message directly from Microsoft stating this.

If this feature was released to everyone it might be noteworthy, but an update in a preview program? OMG? Stop the presses! The sky has fallen! The world is ending! Chaos and looting ensues! ISIS must have a nuclear bomb! PANIC EVERYONE, JUST PANIC!

I guess a supposed "gaming journalist" at dual shockers is trying their best (yet again) to make Microsoft look bad.

I haven't even tried it yet , you just stick one in and it plays ? or if it dosent is there an error code ?

Tedakin3194d ago

You stick your disc in and download/install the game and it plays like normal.

parentsbasement3194d ago

so if its not a bc one , does it tell you ? or just does nothing ?

NeoGamer2323194d ago

@parentsbasement
I just tried it out of curiousity...

You get the following if the game is not BC...

"This game is not playable here"
"Visit xbox.com for a list of Xbox 360 games that are playable on Xbox One. (0x8082000c)"

Rainbow Cotton Interview: Lead Programmer Sheds Light on the Dreamcast Remake

VGChartz's Evan Norris: "If you haven't played Rainbow Cotton before, you're not alone. A Dreamcast exclusive released only in Japan, it's not exactly a household name. Looking to change that, and bring the sixth-gen game back into the spotlight, is German studio KRITZELKRATZ 3000, which — with the backing of publisher ININ and original developer SUCCESS — has remade the 3D shoot-'em-up from the ground up. Featuring several modern quality-of-life upgrades, plus HD graphics and a brand new local co-op mode, it promises to merge the past and present when it launches digitally on consoles and PC on May 9.

Ahead of the game's release, I chatted with Andreas Scholl, technical director at KRITZELKRATZ 3000 and lead programmer for Rainbow Cotton, about what fans can expect from the remake."
