Nope, just the song I mentioned before. It's a song called Phantom Dust.

I'm confused, how do I download this on my PC? I went to the store page and clicked get, it said it was trying to push the install to my (not currently hooked up XBox One), and then I don't see an option anywhere to download it to my PC.

I'm curious to see if this game is playable on the GPD Win. Would be nice to play on the go.

Controller settings has options for normal and reverse for both vertical and horizontal.
Search for "multiplayer starter pack," and you can find the game in the related title section for that download. It's how I found it on Xbox One and PC.

After forcing 8x anistropic filtering and 8x FXAA, this game looks pretty sharp. Weird because I don't remember caring much for the visual style when it originally came out. Makes me wonder how well other xbox originals would hold up if ported like this.
Would I be captured by the beauty of Brutus' glistening green scales?
Would modern machines finally be able to deliver on the creative vision of Whacked!?
Questions to ponder...

It looks fine to me. Perhaps you are slightly color blind?
Thanks
They wouldn't. Even at the time PD stood out as a game with very advanced visuals.
When it was added as a backwards compatibility game for the 360 it looked better than some of the lower-rent 360 games out there.
Similar issues. Console is running awkwardly slow. The download is slow and has restarted s free times. And the sound on dash and apps is cracking when I navigate around. It's strange.

Er... how do I download this on PC? I "bought" it from the MS web store, but that seemed like an X1 purchase. Either way, can't find it in the Windows 10 store.
Edit: Nvm. Had to log into my account on the Windows store.

Urgh. Trying to download but getting this:

Doesn't seem like there's any fix.
It's a weird avenue to go, but the review section of the game in the Windows Store does have MS reps responding to people and soliciting for dxdiag files. Might wanna throw yours up there.

Really enjoying the campaign mode so far, and most of all the combat. Considering how unique this game is, I actually can't believe how great the original concept worked out in execution. The multi-tiered maps, the destruction, it all works great, and adds a lot to the core magic-style combat.
With some love, a remake or sequel could be brilliant in this day and age. I would be interested to see how removing the lock-on system in lieu of free-aim with varied levels of aim-assist based on the powers would work out.

I played it for about an hour and I'm really enjoying it. I can see why this game has such a following with its interesting gameplay.
The 1UP Retrospective James Mielke did with Yukio Futatsugi when the original game released could really stand to be dug up again and posted for those just getting into Phantom Dust now. I can only find portions of it from random message board posts, but I think in lieu of the original, Microsoft would do well to sit down with him again to ask about the game for today's audience's sake at least.

Can't wait to play this for the first time!
I'm thinking about making a thread based on this old video about Phantom Dust

good idea or not?

Did you find the Multiplayerpackage? If yes, try to visit the storepage and scroll down. You should see it there.
(Not canada, but this worked for me)

Only just started but the use of classical pieces in this game is absolutely amazing. It almost reminds me of Catherine's usage of it but so much more subtle and impactful for the atmosphere. Not sold on the game itself yet but I think it's style is more than enough to keep me through the whole thing on it's own. Looks fantastic even today.
