With this hardware generation seemingly locked into a cycle of re-releases and remasters, it takes a certain stroke of genius to make a common or garden compilation appealing. Generous to a fault, and stuffed with more than its fair share of stone cold timeless classics, Rare Replay hits the bullseye.
Well done.
As an Xbox website, it would be remiss to say that the Xbox One has had its’ detractors this generation. After stumbling about with their Xbox One reveal a few years before, Microsoft and their gaming brand were in a period of transition. But Rare Replay had another trick up its sleeve to appeal to a core Xbox audience. Their announcement promised 30 games priced at £20, with 10000 Gamerscore. It was an achievement hunters wet dream.
Everyone knows Halo, Gears of War, and Forza. But which other exclusives on Xbox One that you should absolutely be playing?
None of those games are "Xbox One Exclusives".
What if I wrote an article about these same game and said they were "PC exclusive"? lol...Xbox fans would erupt.
Moral of the story - if you want to play exclusives you must have a PlayStation, it's the best bet.
I personally only bought the Xbox one when i did because I had to have Titanfall. That game is so underrated in how it revolutionized the movement in the genre.
None of those games is exclusive to Xbox One. Rare Replay is a collection of Nintendo games and the rest are available on Steam.
Rare replay has a bunch of older Rare Nintendo games on it, but also has a selection of Xbox and Xbox360 exclusives on it which are not available on steam (Grabbed by the Ghoulies, PDZ, Kameo,Viva Pinata etc)
Rare Replay is an exclusive in terms of the overall one proudct package and its surprisingly decent for the cost, but I think it really shows how dire a situation it is when people are having to put Rare Replay on a list trying to promote Xbox Exclusives... Jesus its been a hard gen for people who only bought Xbox's.
While Banjo-Kazooie will arrive soon in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, players should check out other great games by Rare!
No blast corps?!, get out! As for sea of theives why does it say Rare Replay:Sea of thieves that wasn’t part of it when I played have they patched it in? Can’t see it myself haha
Well done indeed. Every xb1 owners owed it to themselves to pick this game up.
Looking forward to playing these games, I preordered from microsoftstore.com but had some troubles with payment not authorizing. Now my order says cancelled but customer support insists the order is going through. If they are wrong, I am definitely ordering it elsewhere or going to GameStop or Walmart to pick it up cause I can't wait much longer!
