I've had it wishlisted for years! That's a real shame.

I guess I shot my load early this time... I'm the only one with all but 2 titles released/scored already... everyone else has spread themselves out...

Not saying I didn't try to do that, I just didn't see any titles that piqued my interest.

Yeah it seems silly to me that if we removed remakes then great games like ff7 remake (an entire overhaul for a remake) and dead space wouldn’t count. I’m all for keeping remakes as an option but not allowing remasters.

That's how it is now.

I just think it makes it a bit more complicated when determining what is a remake vs a remaster. Because people gonna argue.

If the goal is to get people to not load the list up with a bunch of proven winners, a simpler solution would be just instituting a limit of 1 or 2 remakes/remasters, and everything else has to be a brand new game.

Maybe even limit then to the alts

Just saying we should keep it how it is

Just updated the OP with scores for Clive 'N' Wrench. It's currently at 61 on Metacritic from 7 reviews. Wanted to wait for a few more reviews before updating the OP, but I'm not sure how many reviews are going to come in for this one.

Next up sometime this week should be Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty.

See this is what I'd want to avoid. Adding more rules and qualifiers. I think that's what would make things more complicated.

As is, things are pretty clear. If a game is billed as a remake then it counts. You'll have cases like Kirby this year and Advance Wars which sparked this debate last year where the lines are blurred, but as long as a developer/publisher considers a game a remake then it qualifies under the rules.

Yeah, you're pretty much set. Even if your final two games get delayed, you have alts to take their place. Surprised you didn't have Zelda on your list, though. That seems like a lock to review really, really well.

Yeah, this is where I am at. And it seems most people are fine with the way things are.

I had this minor itch telling me not to put it on the list as it felt like it would be delayed again... Dunno why I didn't have that same itch about being delayed with the Sherlock Holmes one.

Anyone else play the Wo Long demo? Just played it for about 30 mins and I have no idea how it’s going to review. I didn’t like it, but I think it’s because I’m kinda over the Nioh formula. It feels like a reskin of Nioh 2 is many ways (level design, UI, loot system, boring story, mute protagonist etc). The combat is solid, though. It feels like a mix between Nioh and Sekiro. But it’s way too easy and just doesn’t feel anywhere near as good to play as either Sekiro or the Nioh games do. Maybe I’m just a little jaded, but I think I’m gonna skip this and wouldn’t be surprised if it doesn’t crack 80 on Metacritic.

EDIT: Looks like it’ll be on Gamepass day 1 which is awesome for the Xbox peeps. You guys get to try it out without having to shell out $70.

Yeah, I regret adding it to my list after playing the demo.

There was a demo awhile ago.... This is the second demo.

Yeah I’m over the Nioh style myself too. If it’s just another Nioh clone it’ll be a hard pass for me.

Wolf Among Us 2 delayed into 2024, I thought I saw someone had that one.

Bummer. And yeah, @bogo has it on his list.

yeah, disappointed, but not shocked that its delayed

Wo Long currently sitting at 81 on metacritic.
Def worth a look on game pass I think

Shane12m wrote:

Yeah the fact that it's coming to Gamepass day one is pretty awesome! Glad it reviewed well. This is what I hoped for when I picked it as an alt, but I was worried after I played the demo which I didn't like.

OP is now up to date, guys. Wo Long is still at 81 from 48 reviews.

I was expecting much lower based on that demo.

Starfield delayed, again. Wonder if it's because of the XsS not being able to play it?

So much for "all these games playable in the next months"

So, Silksong will not be this year it seems.

Hogwarts didn't launch with an X1 or S version yet, but the X version is out. They seem to be relaxing on that rule. But then again, this is a first party title, so maybe that is the issue. Either way that is a stupid ass rule and from what a lot of devs has said its been a pain in the ass for a lot of them.

Bethesda games aren't playable until 1-2+ years after launch anyway

Damn. They are getting the Cyberpunk treatment I see. Starfield is on my list as a back up. There goes that...did they say how long the delay was for? Into 2024 or late 2023?

Only a couple months, September.
But I'd bet it gets pushed into 2024 later in the year.

They never had a release date, right? It was just "early 2023" I think

Kommie wrote:

On Xbox at least, the store said June 2023. But yeah I don't think they ever said an official date prior to today. Everyone just assumed June because of the Xbox store/app.

I just saw on IGN it says 9/6/23 is the new release date for Starfield...for now that is...

It originally had a release date of November 11, 2022. Then, it got delayed in May 2022 to "the first half of 2023" before this recent delay: https://twitter.com/bethesda/status/15247211327205...

Yep, Starfield is now facing the Cyberpunk 2077 syndrome of delays.

Was CP massively delayed? It certainly should have been

It was, until it wasn't and they released completely broken. Did have relatively high review scores though.

Yea they delayed it like 3-4 times until the community got all up in arms about it, and then they released a broken game...and everyone got all up in arms about it...

And now over 2 years after its initial release it apparently plays like it should have at launch with patch 10.02828219299WTFBBQ?

I’m totally okay with a starfield September release. It’s nice to have a date now even if it’s later than anticipated. Plenty of awesome looking games coming out this year before September.

Why the comparisons to cyberpunk? Tons of games get delayed. I’m hoping that because they have Xbox money and time they are just letting the game really be special without rushing it and allowing things to be more polished

I mean let’s be real. I love Skyrim to pieces for example, but those Bethesda games are damn near by law are all buggy as heck at launch and sometimes months to years to come regardless of how many delays occur and that’s just fine. I’m sure it’ll still be fun to play like most of their games are. I’ll just be looking forward of those YouTube videos of all the funny glitches and bugs that happen post launch.

OP updated with scores for Fatal Frame: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse. It's currently at 69 on Metacritic from 16 reviews.

Suicide Squad delayed to "later"
