Already downloaded Phantom Dust last night. Wasn't all that impressed with it. Didn't like the camera control (or lack of control) or the way the game played. Just wasn't very smooth. Maybe new abilities can change that. The game looks like an old OG XBox game. They should have remade the game from scratch.

Going to go and play Lego's Star Wars Saga now.

dmetripaulpavlin2534d ago

It isn't a remaster..... it is simply an updated version of the old one where they added 16:9 support and crossplay. Naturally it feels old because it is in fact very old, no changes to the game play where made.

Thatguy-3102534d ago

Ok... Doesn't change the fact that his criticism is spot on though. A lot of people didn't dig it back then so I highly doubt the new generation of gamers will even bother with it.

Kingthrash3602534d ago

Maybe the added micro transactions will help???
Smh took the time to add MT but no new assets or camera update.
Trash.

4Sh0w2534d ago

It's an old classic and it's FREE.

It actually plays well enough, very simple just like before but I wasnt expecting it to play like a modern FPS, I guess.

@dmetripaulpavlin
Oh, I know that. I had never played the original game. I'm just saying they should have remastered it and fixed all the control issues like they did with Voodoo Vince. I'm glad it was FREE though. I'll still play it a few more times and see if it gets any better.

@Kingthrash360
No one is going to waste money on micro-transactions for this game. There is micro-transaction in games on every platform, so I don't understand why you trolls still keep mentioning it over and over again for this game. Microsoft isn't the only ones who use MT in some of their games. Sony had a bunch in their GT games. You could buy a car for like $100+ So give it a rest. It's not a big deal.

well thats cause this basically an OG xbox game, they used the same assets. They just updated it so it would work on the XB1. They did update some shaders and up-res the game though.

ps360s2534d ago

I understand it's not a remaster ect but for Xbox fans to hype this up (guess being the only exclusive out) was out of this world lol

Downloading on my Xbox(did with my laptop too but it won't start up!) with little hype as it should be. I am sure it will be fun for awhile playing against my friends offline and online

@Kingthrash360

They couldn't use new assets because the team didn't have the source code. Lack of a source didn't allow the team to do many things.

FITgamer2534d ago

Yeah I played it for a little over an hour, then I became bored with it. It just feels to dated to keep my attention.

Bigpappy2534d ago (Edited 2534d ago )

I didn't finish it when it first release. Wasn't my type of game, but my brother loved it and I liked washing him play. He was good at choosing those spell, dust balls and completed the game.

Ya but allot of people did dig back then. They will also dig it now.

Doopy2534d ago

Phantom dust is pretty fun.

TheColbertinator2534d ago

And they said Xbox One doesn't get any games :/

Kingthrash3602534d ago

Did it tho?
Phantom dust is a og xbox game....no?
It's still the same game with no new updates. This is worse than a pc game.

slate912534d ago

Youve never actually played the og or re-released version though. Why are you here?

timotim2534d ago

I currently have 188 FULL games on my X1...my back catalogue is crazy right now. I cant keep up.

Kribwalker2534d ago

I'm sitting at 232 games. So many to try to play through, especially with that and the 14 I have on my PS4 and Zelda and Mario kart, just not enough time

timotim2534d ago

Yeah this "no games to play" push by some of here I find laughable...I have more than enough to play...I didn't even mention the games I have that can only be played on PC...Halo 5: Forge, Forza 6: Apex, Asphalt 8, 2020: My Country etc...

Kingthrash3602533d ago

Xbox has games, just nothing compelling coming soon. It's been 5 months and counting...while you count off games that are over 2 years old...another drought is happening.
I guess 2-3 1st party games a year is fine with you but I'd rather have more. More is always better. Not to mention new ips that are potentially goty.
Xbox has games....of corse, but after 4 years it needs new compelling ips.
MS is the richest BY FAR...there is no reason not to invest in actual games .
They are saying that's what they are doing now, but it's been 4 years their shouldn't be a drought.

Kingthrash360,
"Xbox has games, just nothing compelling coming soon. It's been 5 months and counting"

-Says who? Halo Wars 2 is a good game that hasn't been out for a whole 3 months yet, it's an RTS which is pretty unique on consoles. Crackdown3, State of Decay, Cuphead are all compelling games coming soon enough, at E3 there will be more. Plus every console has droughts, just like game cancelations, just like delays, just like MT, just like 3rd party deals, just like franchises that get many sequels and spinoffs, just like PR to promote their brand= but it's only Microsoft who's bad when it happens regarding Xbox. Oh and YES, ps4 has had some great games as of late, but X1 has some gems as well BUT suddenly critic scores are all that matter from a fan base that has said time and time again that critical reviews don't matter when they don't like the scores for example for games like The Order 1886. So yeah, you're extremely biased which means what you think is "compelling" or not on Xbox One is irrevalent.

XanderZane2533d ago (Edited 2533d ago )

I'm pretty much the same way. Plus over 90+ B/C and FREE games that can be installed. I have plenty to play on it.

@Kingthrash360
The Surge was just released. Looking forward to playing that. Looking compelling enough to me.
