    Reports (from Reddit and around the Internet) are that Age of Empires and Rise of Nations are coming to Xbox, presumably enabled by the KBM support being added soon. People were able to get so far as to pick which Xbox they wanted to install Rise of Nations on.

    I'd assume that we'll learn more on Saturday, at X018. Speaking of which, if you watch Inside Xbox on Mixer with your Microsoft account, then you'll get free stuff. Forza Horizon 4 is one of the games that you'll get stuff for, I think Sea of Thieves is the other.

    Reminds me that free game from e3 still hasn't appeared. Can't even recall it's name now.

    Ah I quite like Mass Effect Andromeda. Its a good game. I know the launch was very poor but the game at its core was decent.
    It was OK, I didn't mind the fuss and hoo-ha about animations at launch. For me, the game fell down on the repetitive "Oh my god, you're the Pathfinder. You are the one person on this whole decimated armada who will find a new home for us … By the way I lost my keys, will you go find them for me and pick up a sandwich at the Spar on the way back. You might need to help the lady at Spar find all the ingredients to make the sandwich, too"-type quests.

    I see that Crackdown is now free, a gem of a game.

    I'd assume that it's related to the Crackdown 3 reveal this weekend. We'll probably get a date for the launch of the multiplayer part of the game, it's meant to be coming out first. Wonder if it'll be free to play actually, attempting to copy Fortnite's model.

    Microsoft need to deliver on Crackdown 3
    I hope it can capture the essence of the first game as it's brilliant

    I get the feeling that's why they've separated the multiplayer from the single player section. There's just no way that the single player experience will be any good, but the multiplayer part has the potential to be great. A Battle Royal style game in a fully destructible skyscraper city? That sounds like something I'd be interested in.

    Anyone have any sneaky hopes for this? Personally, I'd love Gaucamelee 2 to be announced, what with it being in Mexico and all. Adding it to Game Pass would be just fantastic.

    They've made a number of acquisitions in recent times so maybe something from Ninja Theory maybe?

    Below has been given a rating in Australia which usually indicates it's close to release, hopefully we'll have an announcement tonight:

    I hope Phil Spencer comes on stage, announces 1 vs 100 and then stands there for 59 minutes of applause. If the show happens to be an hour and a half long, then make that 89 minutes of applause.

    My hope is for more of State of Decoy 2. Love that game. Anything Forza related is a winner too.

    Phil Spencer admits that there's a ton of work to do on the Windows 10 store. I knew that they'd giving him control of it in the background, so it's great to hear them say it officially.

    See here.

    Yes, great to hear. The difference between the Xbox console store and windows store is huge. You get the sense that this is 2 separate teams that will more than likely come together to get it up to par.

    It was definitely two separate teams. The Windows team didn't want any advice on how to build a store from the Xbox team, and in fact forced changes onto the Xbox store to suit Windows. Very frustrating.

    It's pretty clear that they've identified the problems, and have also start to recognise the potential for gaming. You don't push out the head of Windows, then promote Phil Spencer onto the board, and then buy/setup seven studios in less than a year unless you're all in on gaming.

    Castlevania: Lord of Shadows is finally backward compatible but it's crashed a ton of times for me. Do these issues get ironed out or do I just get on with it?

    never longer than 45 seconds usually,the odd time it does go over a minute we just quit matchmaking and start again,and it usually fires us into a game straight away then

    I wonder is your NAT ok? Go to settings>Network>Network Settings. For best results, your NAT type should be "Open".

    Patches release fairly regularly for back compat titles.
    I'd say wait until it's patched.

    My NAT is open alright. Have not checked but mw3 was reported as open. Will double check but nearly sure it remains open as I have the IP of the Xbox in the routers DMZ.
