ZOE and SS make it a great month, especially since you get to keep those forever.
Yep, and I'm also hoping for Deadly Premonition.One of these days they are going to cave and give us NG1 and 2.
Can someone remind me, are Xbox 360 titles free to keep forever whether you have a subscription or not? Is it only Xbox One games where you need an active subscription in order to play, similar to PS+?
They are yours to keep. Just the X1 games require an active subscription.
Awesome! Looking forward to Zone of The Enders from that list.
From my understanding, the performance issues the Xbox 360 version suffered are ironed out playing on more powerful hardware through BC.ZOE1 plays fine but in general isn't worth playing. ZOE2 was never patched to the updated Hexadrive version on PS3 so it's also not worth playing.
If you're interested in playing ZOE2, play the PS3, PS4, or Steam versions. They're all so much better than the Xbox 360 one.
That may be true (I don't actually know) but playing the game in 1080p (on PS3) or 4K (on PS4/Steam) just makes the 360 version automatically look worse.From my understanding, the performance issues the Xbox 360 version suffered are ironed out playing on more powerful hardware through BC.
image quality is limited by a resolution of just 1280x720 with no anti-aliasing, while alpha effects were rendered at a low resolution, textures suffered from in-surface colour banding, depth of field was mostly removed, shading was often inaccurate, and HUD elements were stretched.

We need the BC team to work their magic and 4k enhance it.Now, of course your mileage may vary in regards the importance of maintaining the original games' look, but it was not just the frame rate issue that plagued the original High Voltage versions. With that said though the game is being given away for free so I think still pretty cool for people who haven't played it or have no way of playing the other versions to have a chance to do so
