Its a xbox play anywhere title so it will work on both when subscribing to game pass. Obviously the other games won't though. Probably best to buy it outright though i guess.

Well if that's the case then they lost me. Once I hit that point I lost interest. If they would have stopped at 20 cores and kicked in with the DLC content, I would have been really happy.
The "no longer need additional cores" part is what threw me off.

Passed on it originally, but I'm interested. Maybe see if it is discounted during Black Friday weekend or something.
I'm a dummy and I've no idea how I missed that.
Well, that's great!
Whats thhere to gain from devs when they do this stuff for free?
Are people really going to buy this game now? Does the goodwill go that far for there next game?
Seems like a sunken cost.
Or maybe they care about their game and want it to be as good as it can be?
YEah. You still need the initial minimum to enter the tower but you don't have to keep leaving to get more cores
I don't really know if what he's saying is confirmed. You have to play a good amount of the game to get to 20 cores in the first place. I don't think they're going to up that initial amount

I really did good by not continuing my playthrough last year. Lower load times is a game changer for me.
Maybe I shouldn't have bought it day 1 and just buy this version instead. It has a better box art too.

Looks like they've addressed everything. Amazing. Good on MS to keep supporting the game but it really should have been delayed and releasing now for the first time. Whoever decided the game was ready a year ago is a lunatic.
I mean you don't really need rare. Just give armature a proper budget, use UE4 and don't rush development
Ding ding.

This is fantastic for players so does it really matter?
I'll co-sign this. The platforming controls are really tight, I normally despise 3D platforming but I had a blast with the traversal dungeons.
A sequel with a decent budget and enough time to actually finish the game before release could be really good.

Sounds fantastic. I loved ReCore, despite its flaws. There's no excusing Microsoft for releasing it in he shape it was in originally, but I'm very happy to see it wasn't forgotten about. The game is secretly one of this hen's best platformers.

Low price tag and renewed positive word of mouth might lead to some sales. Plus there are going to be a lot of new X1X owners looking to buy games this holiday. Don't know if this will lead to profit but MS may expect it to offset the continued investment.

Whoa that sounds really good. I'll end up picking this up on PC. It was a game I was interested in but the unfinished status put me off.
I'd love if this game has a good enough tail to get a sequel.

I think the low price tag and free update for owners is proof that they're not looking to make money on this DE, but rather salvaging the reputation of the IP to maybe make a future sequel viable. Which makes me think, why the fuck isn't this releasing on Steam?

Is Microsoft open to putting their titles on Steam?
Yeah. Killer Instinct is coming. Halo Wars 1 is there now, Quantum Break came.

Is the DE getting a physical release? I'd rather have all this stuff on the disc.

Sweet guess it just hasn't shown up on amazon yet, I'll look out for it.

Good thing I didn't buy the 'normal' version now that there's a definitive edition. Are developers not understanding that this is harmful for their brand? Stop launching incomplete games. That's simple. The way I see it, they had this planned from the start, just like cut content for Season passes or various DLCs. This industry is in dire need for a real shake-up

No way, the game was obviously unfinished when it launched. There was a space for another companion in the menus, there was obviously a tankbot silhouette in trailers and promo art, you could collect spare parts for a robot that didn't exist in game, there were areas of the world that couldn't be traversed because you didn't have the requisite robot.
These weren't things that were hinted or foreshadowed as coming later down the line, it was stuff that just...wasn't there.
It wasn't planned DLC, it was just rushed so much that they couldn't finish it like when you're 70% of the way through an answer in an exam and you hear "Time's up, please put down your pens"

Why? The upgrade is free for owners of the base version.
That said, I do agree about games launching incomplete.
They are squeezing all the water from the stone they can. Then they will put on Steam.

Update sounds great.
With those load times fixed I won't have to play this on my PC anymore.

I hope this comes to Steam. However, I will still buy it on Windows Store. They definitely seemed to address the core complaints and criticisms. I'm really glad that they didn't give up on the game and that the update is free for existing customers.

Must admit that from the post, im impressed with all the amount of extra work that was put into the game. I have said it before and I'll say it again, Microsoft/Spencer/whoever should have delayed this game from last September to now because just imagine how better received this game would have been (or at least should be based on all the details in the opening post). Would have strengthened the exclusive lineup for 2017 while at the same time, not going through a bad release/launch or get lost in the shuffle of Forza Horizon 3, Gears of War 4 and to a far lesser extent Dead Rising 4. Definitely looking forward to picking this up and giving the game a second chance.
If this were true, they wouldn't be giving all of the extra content for free, as it is, they are giving all those that bought the original edition all of the content as a free update

Same. I'm glad we're finally getting this update and that it seems meaty. Can't wait to play again.

If there is a physical versoin of the DE, I will buy it this year.

It's pretty sad to see a thread like this die at 2 pages when the thread about the latest NMS patch has 20+.
Well to be fair, that patch is actually out.
