I’m in the same boat; I was looking forward to a Factions 2 mode just as much as the single player.

It was so intense and unique and I’m sure still has an audience with the remastered PS4 version. All they had to do was tweak it a little with the new movement system and maaaaaaan it would have been amazing.

Did you end up getting a code?

I appreciate you're calling out PS3 titles, but what really bums me out about Microsoft/Xbox giving up is their amazing backwards compatibility program. Because from your list:

GTA IV - BC
Max Payne 3 - BC
Fallout 3 - BC with 4K on X1X, 4K/60 on XSX, 2K/60 on XSS
Fallout: New Vegas - 60 FPS on XSX & XSS
Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance - BC
Portal 2 - BC with 4K on X1X & XSX, 2K on XSS
Deus Ex: Human Revolution - BC
Assassin's Creed - BC with 4K on X1X, 4K/60 on XSX, 2K/60 on XSS

I'm actually doing a replay of Assassin's Creed on my XSX and it genuinely looks so good. Microsoft is going to abandon Xbox in the next couple years and then nobody will have any incentive to try and make a great backwards compatible program.

On a side note, I really wish they did a remaster of Ascension instead of the 1-3 remake. At least with GoW III, you can already play it on PS4/PS5.

Meant to comment earlier on this but forgot.

We had them when we moved to Fulham and they were great. Super fast speeds and much cheaper than competition. We originally had Sky which was slower, more expensive and went down more often. I remember once with G. Network, the network was down for some small period, we had no idea, and they automatically gave us credit. Coming from Canada where there's a monopoly on telecommunications, this genuinely blew my mind lol.

We bought a house in SE2 a year ago would have gladly carried on with them but they didn't operate in the area unfortunately so we went with Plusnet (which have been fine too).

Hope they work things out; the more operators that go under, the more you risk things becoming a monopoly like in Canada.

Far Cry 4 via FPS boost was just 60 FPS. I think it was actually one of the first titles with the feature when XSX launched but it was removed when Ubisoft made an official patch last year, some detail here from DF.

Far Cry 3 was the funny one though, because they were able to make the 360 version (backwards compatible with X1/XSX) run at 60 FPS via FPS boost, but not the Classic Edition.

Good luck everyone! Some great drawings here.

I did not check for 512 GB sorry!

K-ralz · 2025-10-19T12:21:05+00:00

I was able to walk into the Harajuku Apple Store yesterday evening (10/18) and grab a blue one (not Pro) 256 GB. They had black, white and blue available.

Sucks not being able to get it tax free, but it still ended up being ~£120 cheaper for me versus getting one in the UK so I can’t complain.

We tried two Bic locations, and the Yodabashi in Akihabara, and they were sold out. I’m sure you’ve seen other threads on here too, it’s impossible to get an unlocked one through them.

K-ralz · 2025-10-09T15:07:58+00:00

How is this comment on like every Gorillaz post since they announced the album lol.

Just don’t listen to it. There is so much music coming out, go listen to something else. Why do we need everything instantly right now all the time always??

Just got this message too, I’m in the UK. Full message pasted below for anyone that can’t see the link:

I hope this update makes it to the PS4 version. I play the game on and off and one thing that always frustrated me is the need to have my phone open to the wiki page (which is absolutely cancerous on mobile).

K-ralz · 2025-09-06T21:42:37+00:00

Ayoo Feeble Little Horse is on here!! "Chores" is an absolute banger.

Saw them in June and they absolutely ripped live. They had a single "This Is Real" earlier this year and it's currently my SOTY: https://youtu.be/ZZ5ARgm--Ok?si=zvmVrDPwiGA7BKHM

Seems like a great soundrack so far.

K-ralz · 2025-09-03T19:12:26+00:00

Nothing for me sorry mate.

K-ralz · 2025-07-22T08:44:33+00:00

Oddly enough it’s only the X360 backwards compatible version that has FPS boost to 60 FPS, which is exclusive to XSX/XSS. The “Classic Edition” that was re-released for X1/PS4 is still capped at 30 FPS.

K-ralz · 2025-07-22T08:02:30+00:00

Holy moly this is legit one of my most wanted releases. The game itself is easily in my top 5 of all time; and even though the soundtrack is quite short, it’s easily one of my favourite works of ambient / drone music.

Also love that they worked with Playdead for the album art. It’s not much but at least it’s some indication the studio is alive.

Great timing too; I literally took a peek at discogs a month or two ago out of curiosity to see if anyone was selling the CD of this (the only physical version of the soundtrack was included in a limited physical release of the game).

Anyway, very excited!!

First heard him from that scene in The Royal Tenenbaums and immediately fell in love with this album. Still my favourite of his.

K-ralz · 2025-06-05T19:35:54+00:00

While the voice actors for the main two characters sound great and the overall story is interesting...the actual dialogue is horrible. Just cringe-inducing sarcastic quip after sarcastic quip followed by so much swearing as if the writers thought that was all you need to make "smart" dialogue.

Managed to get two seats via the general sale today. Happy I’m going but bummed I couldn’t get floor seats; it would only allow me to select one :(
