But it does manage to balance out every misstep with something worthwhile. 'It's certainly not a great game,' said Eurogamer of sci-fi shooty-horror Dead Space 3 when it released in 2013, 'except perhaps as a poster child for the kitchen-sink development mentality of a console generation in its twilight months. Neither titles are as strong as their series predecessors, sadly, but still manage to shine at certain moments. If it's more free games you want, then August still has two Xbox 360 titles to offer in the form of Dead Space 3 and Disney Epic Mickey 2, both of which are backward-compatible on Xbox One.

'If you've been holding off,' he concluded, 'there's never been a better time to get up close and personal.' Contributor Edwin Evans-Thirlwell revisited the game earlier this year to see the impact that Ubisoft's tremendous post-launch support had made. Melee-focussed multiplayer fighter For Honor, meanwhile, received not one but two reviews from Eurogamer. 'But in one aspect it seems unbeatable,' noted Oli Welsh in his 9/10 review, 'I can't imagine any of them are going to feel this happy'.

This practice is going to be occurring more and more as we head to into this console generation, as lead studios will be focusing their efforts on the main, usually current-gen version, while outsourcing porting duties of last-gen versions to other third-party studios.Microsoft has unveiled its Games with Gold line-up for August, and it's a bit of a whopper, featuring Forza Horizon 2, For Honor, Dead Space 3, and Disney Epic Mickey 2.įorza Horizon 2 - 10th Anniversary Edition and For Honor are this month's duo of Xbox One offerings. Playground games will only be handling development of the Xbox One version which shares the same engine with Forza 5. IGN's Ryan McCaffrey has said on Twitter that another studio -currently unnamed- is handling development duties for the Xbox 360 version of the game. It has only been a few hours since the Forza Horizon 2 announcement this morning, and fans are already scared of what releasing on old-gen might do to the game's vision. The Xbox One version will be based on the Forza 5 engine and will be handled by Playground Games, as previously announced.

UPDATE: Microsoft has now officially confirmed that the Xbox 360 version will be based on the Forza Horizon engine and will be developed by Sumo Digital. A decision that has led to some fans worrying that releasing the game on last-gen will compromise the Xbox One version. The freshly announced Forza Horizon 2, will be coming out on Xbox One and Xbox 360.
