    Is anyone using Spoticast on Xb1? How well does it work?

    One thing I love about the PS4 OS is the Spotify integration, it's a shame there's no UWP app.

    i was looking at it but a fiver seems expensive for something that may get shut down like the last spotify app

    Is that the first time that remastered games have also had the 360 versions go BC?

    This looks like a really nice platformer.

    Looks good but doubt I will get it as I have not finished Limbo or even The Fall.

    I'm tempted. I like a good platformer. Although that outland game that's free with gold at the moment might scratch that itch too.

    I picked up the division for 10 euro on CD keys a few weeks back and I must say I'm enjoying it. I'm playing it with a mate of mine, we are only level 16.

    A guy join us the other night and he was level 265 or something it was like playing with superman lol

    I'm hoping the DLC will go on sale coming up to Christmas :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,131 ✭✭✭GottaGetGatt


    Speaking of CD Keys if anyone hastnt picked up it.Digital copy of AC Unity is €1.79


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,259 ✭✭✭Max Mafioso


    Got it a few months ago for around that price, really like it but its now become one with the backlog of other games as I keep going back to Ark :(

    Nice to see Catherine in there, very interesting game!

    I presume there would be no chance of Street Fighter 2 becoming BC now that Street fighter is exclusive to PS?

    Presumably, any agreement between Sony and Capcom would just cover current and future games, so there is a chance that it could be released.

    Of course, there's no way of knowing before it's released. Perhaps it doesn't work in the emulation engine, perhaps Capcom don't want to release it, perhaps it's out next week!

    Has the one been given keyboard/mouse support yet? That's something that was promised quite a long while ago so not sure if it happened and I missed the announcement?

    Yeah, when I bought an Xbox One, I changed from buying games on release to buying them on sale in a few months time. I've still got a huge backlog, but it's cost me ~50% less than what it would have.

    Of course, you do miss out on that initial rush of people playing a game, for instance, I still haven't gotten around to buying Titanfall 2, and it looks like by the time I do get around to it, the multiplayer will be pretty dead.

    plenty playing at the moment, if anything it seems to be slowly growing, It'll get another kick up the arse soon with the xmas noobs, and it may show up on a christmas sale as well.

    i'd be holding off buying it until the xmas/new year sales as I would expect it to drop to around 20/30

    its already down to 40 in GameStop its just not selling at all

    helped by the massive discounts no doubt

    Sony sent out emails giving people a code for 43% off titianfall 2 mid-November thats a huge discount for a game only released at the end of October

    I've no doubt tf2 is a decent game but it'll plummet in price again
    i'll be holding off until it does
