    @thelivingroyale, you do have a point, for sure. I think animations in general have gotten better solely because of how great mocap is, but using an actor to do the voice and the motion at the same time is definitely more cost effective because, if you do them separately, animators would have to manually program a characters model's mouth to make the movements that will convey the words of the actor in a cutscene. So, just having that headache out of mind is definitely a positive.

    I just think that losing Ironside in any situation was something that Ubi should've avoided. If ever there was an exception to make, it was there.

    Awesome

    Literally rushed to put my 360 copy into my Xbox One x, installing now it's a 7.38GB update should be good

    There is a good selection I'll get the Battlefront games though I have them on PC, though just watched a trailer for Xbox One looks smooth.

    Check out some of the gameplay posted for the X Enhanced versions of Red Dead Redemption and Portal 2. They look fantastic. I was going to buy RDR to play again but the sequel is out in just a few months, I'd rather wait for that.

    I played RDR earlier before work the enhanced version looks great, had a quick ride out the upgrade is noticeable, I still had the 360 disk so got the updated version for free. I just heard Force Unleashed 2 is getting 4K enhancement also, another game I am currently replaying.

    Going back to original Xbox games I hope they make SSX Tricky available on backward compatibility at some point, I was addicted to that game.

    With a DLC schedule like this game has, I'll probably just wait for the Complete Edition or whatever they end up calling it.

    I have not looked into the DLC content, I was hoping just for the full game and addon's like Rise of the Tomb Raider I got those addons long after I completed Rise...

    The in game play is usually all I am concerned with, though the orange mist from a fire or sunset in that trailer sold me.

    Cover art has been released for it, didn't think it'd arrive so soon:

    I know I'll be locked into playing this one for a very long time. Just bought Hitman on the Xbox One. Had so much fun with it on the PS4 I figured I'd start from scratch on it yet again eventually.

    That's what I am doing with Red Dead Redemtion I am almost right back at the beginning though playing it slightly different to last time, the revamped look is making it extra playable. I have never really played any of the Hitman games, I think I bought the first ever game though barely looked at it. I have a habit of buying games that I hardly play

    I recently got my wife hooked on the first Red Dead Redemption, after her disregarding it for years. (I can't wait for her to see the bloody ending)

    It's great to have 2 people in the house excited for this one!

    Your wife is a gamer? My dear fellow, do you know how lucky you are? :D

    Oh I know it! Best of all, she's a completest, so I'm seeing all the hidden outfits I never bothered to collect on my playthrough!

    If there is any truth to the growing rumours, we should know then. UK time, it will take place at 9pm.

    So this image has been floating around the internet, supposedly from someone within E3 sneaking pictures. Some places are swearing it's legit, others are calling BS. Seems too good to be true though....right?

    If it's true, I hope it's going to be available for Windows PC.

    It's my favourite installment in the series but I don't have it on my favourite platform.

    Cyberpunk 2077 looked great, can't wait to see some gameplay of it though and get a release date.

    This game has been in development since... when exactly? 2009-10 or so?
