News & Reviews:   Xbox One

Every year, the end of October is when things start getting exciting for gamers. We usually see a lot of game announcements at this time of the year, and this time around we have a big reveal from Square Enix. Specifically, the publisher confirmed that a new Star Ocean game is on the way.

Remember the popular social deduction game called Among Us? The hype surrounding the game has died down and not many people talk about it here. But maybe what the game needs is a fresh influx of console players to bring back the hype, which is what Innersloth is doing.

An increasing number of people are going into mobile games these days. But if you're looking for something more substantial, how about a blast from the past? In fact, those who like shooting stuff would be glad to know that the Quake remaster is officially out.

Usually, big game titles are scheduled at the end of the year and this is very much the case for Sony's PlayStation 5 and Microsoft's Xbox Series X. But while staying at home (including us), people around the world suddenly had the time to play the games they've always wanted. Apart from replaying or catching up games, TIME Magazine have listed their Top 8 Best Video Games of 2020 (So Far) from the PC, Nintendo Switch, PS4 and there's even one on a VR platform.

If you missed hanging around past midnight a few hours ago, we got some news for you. In the season of remastered games, the legendary Tony Hawk's Pro Skater has been announced as the latest addition. Promptly dubbed as Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2, the remastered edition is scheduled to be released on 4 September 2020 for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC (Epic Games Store).

So the rumours were true, the popular FPS game Call of Duty franchise returns yet again with another remastered version. This time, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Remastered is available on the PlayStation 4 for just $20 (~RM86)! As for PC and Xbox One players, the game can be pre-ordered today and will be released on 30 April 2020.

Ubisoft has officially announced that Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey is free to play starting from 19 March onwards until 22 March 2020 on platforms such as the PC, PS4, and Xbox One. Not only that but if you’re interested in getting the game for yourself, you can also purchase it at 67% off at the Ubisoft official store.

If you're a huge Samurai Jack fan and a gamer, you'd be delighted to know that a new Samurai Jack game is coming soon in the Summer of 2020. Called as Samurai Jack - Battle Through Time, it will be made available on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and PC. 

Consoles giants should make peace and not war, at least that what Microsoft seems to be saying. Game streaming services have begun to appear and Microsoft believes that the new competing platforms are the enemies to be focused on. To that end, Microsoft could be looking to form a unified front with its long-time console competitors - Nintendo and Sony.

Games streaming is likely going to be a big thing this decade. Sony PlayStation has been doing it with Remote Play and PlayStation Now for a while, but other companies are trying to catch up. For Microsoft, there's the Xbox Console Streaming that was introduced in October 2019. Essentially, it's a new function that will allow those who own an Xbox One to play any games they own on their Android smartphone or tablet.
