Assassin's Creed Odyssey gets 60fps support on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S tomorrow
Microsoft Flight Simulator tech review: a brilliant port to Xbox Series X/S
| I finally downloaded and got to play this last night on my Xbox SX having had no luck getting it to download on my PC. I played it for an hour and wasn’t impressed to be honest. Deleted it thinking I probably won’t bother again. Reading the other comments here, maybe I’ll give it another try. |

Sony announces PlayStation Plus June 2021 games

Xbox Series X/S 1TB expandable storage costs $220

Red Faction 2, Portal Knights lead August's Xbox Games With Gold
|
@higganos there’s a huge difference between PS Plus and Xbox Gold. By comparison, we get COD Modern Warfare 2 remastered this month. Personally I don’t have an interest in the Xbox ultimate service as the games are not permanent. I enjoy building my digital and physical collection. It will be a sad day for games preservation, if the industry moves us to the Netflix subscription model for gaming. |

Burnout Paradise Remastered on Switch: a classic reborn for handheld play

On the trail of the odd one out in the Virtua Fighter series

Star Wars Episode I: Racer remaster gets another delay on Switch and PS4

Tony Hawk is texting people about a Pro Skater 1 & 2 remaster
| @AmorousBadger I’m having a real craving for snowboarding games over the last week - A bit of 1080 and Avalanche, then moved onto Amped and SSX. All great games, although The 1080 games have the best snow :) I missed SSX3 first time around and was contemplating buying the digital backward compatible version on XB1X. I think you’ve helped make up my mind now! Will move onto Steep tonight, which I’ve never spent much time with until now. |

I totally agree with Nintendo’s actions. They have such a strong brand and support their history very well. If we want Nintendo to continue to invest in innovation in terms of consoles and games in the future, we as gamers have to behave responsibly. |

The Double-A Team: Bangai-O turns bullet hell on its head
| I feel like I should like this game but it never clicked for me. I bought it when it was first released on the DC and traded it in a week or so later. Bought it again on the Xbox 360 thinking I should give it a second chance, but I still didn’t get into it. I’ve decided it must be a marmite thing. |

Microsoft confirms first Xbox One games to support its free Series X upgrade scheme
|
@SBandy the problem with developing games for new consoles is that the customer base is initially small. This means any games launching early in the console’s lifecycle won’t generate much revenue. So what Microsoft are doing here is providing developers with a much bigger commercial incentive to develop games which can sell across platform. So in fact this is financially attractive and good sense. This also fully aligns with ethos of backwards compatibility and games taking full advantage of the latest technology in the box (enhanced for XBox One X being a case in point). |

Here's Super Mario 64 running at 4K on PC
| @fabio78 makes me really hope Nintendo are planning to update the textures for the switch port. I’m guessing not though. They really look bad in 4K definition. Or maybe it’s time for a full Mario 64 remake using the same engine as Mario Odyssey. |

The Last of Us Part 2, Iron Man VR delayed "until further notice"

Panzer Dragoon: Remake review - flawed revisit to an off-kilter masterpiece
Dead or Alive 6 hair colour change microtransaction "a complete slap in the face"

Has GeForce Now quietly killed Google Stadia?
| Great technology for sure and excellent that it allows you to play games you already own. it’s missing the magic simplicity though, needed to make this compelling for the average gamer. The whole linking up through steam etc feels clunky at the moment. Hope they can resolve this. |

Ian's top ten best PSVR games of 2019

The 10 best game reissues of 2019
| The Virtua Racing remake is simply amazing and pleased to see it on this list. Fingers and toes crossed that M2 will make a Sega Rally update (which requires some updated licenses I suppose). Would love a Daytona update with all the Dreamcast tracks included and a 4K Virtua Fighter update in the same vein as Virtua Racing. |

Five of the Best: Snow
| Can’t believe no one has mentioned 1080 snowboarding on the N64. That was the first game I can remember that got snow right and it was simply fantastic. A pretty good follow up to Wave Race which was also a first for its depiction of water. |

Collector unearths playable file for original, cancelled D2 - the 3DO M2 game thought lost to history

We are fortunate enough to have lived through the beginning of a new media being born, and we need to do everything in our collective power to preserve our heritage. Just imagine in 100 years time how people will look back at this time, like the beginning of cameras and films. |

Nintendo Switch Lite review: handheld gaming that's difficult to resist
| Although I wholeheartedly agree with the comments about losing the big screen functionality, it’s all about the price point. At £200, this is amazing value for parents and keeps the kids occupied, so they are not competing for the big screen in the living room. I reckon this is going to fly off the shelves. |
