"if this goes ahead, it'll be one of the first instances of two generation backwards compatibility for a console"

one of the first, ONE of the first.
Aside from like... Nintendo, who did it in 2001 on a handheld console.
Oh and also Sony, who did it LITERALLY a decade ago on a home console.

But both ditched it because you can't make money letting people play things they already own.

I love me some Paradise. I wouldn't mind playing Sleeping Dogs and Outlast. So this is going to be a good month.

I'm downloading it now. I never played it before and I need some kind of RPG to fill the gap that was supposed to be filled by FFXV.

It is a pretty good game. The visual novel parts were actually good.

I almost bought this a few weeks ago until I found out it was region locked. The PAL version is a bit pricey.

It will be interesting to see what sort of boost Scorpio will give to the BC games. This looks alright on the regular Xbone though.

Hopefully ebay have a 20% off sale on Boxing Day, I'll grab it then if they do.
