Because of Xbox setting its sights at the future of backwards compatibility, it will no longer be adding Xbox 360 and original Xbox titles to the backwards compatibility program from next week onwards. The final games to be added to the library before Xbox focuses on Scarlett full-time will be Armed and Dangerous, Indiana Jones and the Emperor’s Tomb, Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy, classic titles from the Splinter Cell series such as Chaos Theory and Double Agent aswell as Unreal Championship 2: The Liandri Conflict. According to the company, "you can now play the entire Splinter Cell franchise on Xbox O
Going forward, Red Dead Online is where the action’s really going to be. It’s just the same as Rockstar’s other recent masterpiece, Grand Theft Auto V . That game’s still doing phenomenally well ( it was the 11 th best-selling game of last year, regardless of the fact that it was first released back in 2013 ), and there’s a reason for that: GTA Online continues to be supported with a steady stream of new cont
The latest update aims to fix this, allowing players to parley after only one death, among other changes, but killing someone first in self-defense currently marks you as a hostile target, painting your icon red on the map and letting other players know you're not to be trusted. According to a report by Eurogamer , " The cause of this aggression is partly because it's so easy to kill: why take the chance someone else will shoot you when you can shoot them firs
First off, new daily challenges are being added in, allowing players to earn gold nuggets (the big premium currency of Red Dead Online ) as well as XP for completing activities such as hunting animals or finding hidden treasure. There are also new fishing challenges, which offers you the opportunity to prove that you're better at catching fish than your friends. So, if you wanted the chance to brag about catching more smallmouth bass than your friends, Rockstar has got your b
GameStop is also offering some considerable discounts on Nintendo Switch games . Though a buy-one-get-one-half-off deal may seem stingy when compared to most other sales, Nintendo has maintained a remarkably stringent control over the price of games for their new hybrid console, and fans have often rallied against the so-called "Switch tax" which has caused the console’s games to drop in price so rarely. Still, potentially snagging games like Super Mario Party , Mario Tennis Aces , Breath of the Wild , and Mario Odyssey for $30 may be worth it to Nintendo fans. The Japanese company is also slashing prices on Nintendo Labo kits, reddeadwildland.Com though, even at a reduced price, that still won’t appeal to every
In addition, the in-game economy is still fractured, and baked beans are still more valuable than gold rings. Players originally resorted to hunting to pick up the slack, but with the new update, the hunting rewards were slashed in half, from $10 to around $5, likely to force players to spend real money in the game's premium market that includes, among other things, emoticons that will set you back hundreds of dollars in the game's regular cash, or a lot of gold bars. And defending yourself against hostile players nets you your own bounty, making you a prime target to lose all your hard-earned mo
Then there's Fool's Gold, which seems like a kind of King Of The Hill/Capture The Flag game. Competitors will fight each other to wear a suit of golden armor. The person wearing the suit will be hunted down. Whoever kills them obtains the new golden suit and a target on their back. There will also be three new Showdown Modes called Up In Smoke, Spoils Of War, and Plunder. Rockstar hasn't released details about these modes yet, but it's safe to assume that they'll involve horses and murder in some capac
Spring has sprung, everyone. As PlayStation’s 2018 Black Friday ad may have insinuated, gamers tend to thrive in the less-outdoorsy winter months. That doesn’t mean that the rest of the year can’t provide some equally fruitful game time, though! Major retailers like GameStop and Target are getting into the season by launching a spring sale on which console owners are going to be eager to pou
There will also be some new game modes added in. First are the Target Races, which sound kind of like a murderous cowboy version of Mario Kart . It pits players against one another in a horseback death race, with the goal being to make it to end while simultaneously shooting your fellow rac
This is where the co-operation comes in. How many players do you keep back to guard your own stockpile, and how many do you send forth to grab the enemy’s? If your team’s too aggressive, you won’t have enough players back to defend against the attack. By the same token, if you’re too passive, you’re not going to be making any headway any time soon. The team who’s stolen the most loot at the end of the match wins, after all, so you’re going to have to make that push somet
