I still have Conker's Bad Fur Day (Boxed) and RC Pro-Am (Boxed) and a NES and N64 to play them on but that is a handy collection to have. The Jetpac games would be nice to have too.
Yes I will be all over this for sure. A lot of great games on that list. Nice to see Rare back in action again. I have grown up loving their games.
I think I still might end up buying the digital version of Kameo because I have been wanting to play that again so bad and there are no disc copies anywhere around. Since it is BC on the X1, I could play it right now if I wanted because I am in the Preview program. Probably dl it by the weekend.
EDIT: Nevermind I could not resist and bought the digital version of Kameo for $10.00.
I was a bit concerned with how large this game would be. To my surprise it was confirmed last week Rare Replay will be 11.26 GB- 50.00 GB!!
I wonder if players in Rare Replay will be able to play with people that have the BC versions? For example Kameo? It is a 2 player co-op and is currently BC. Or Viva Pinata TIP. It is a 4 player co-op and is BC.
EDIT: I pre-ordered and paid this off yesterday. Hard to believe it comes out in only a few weeks. Summer is flying by.
It's kinda ironic that this is, thus far, one of the only titles for the Xbone that makes me think I may eventually buy it. Forza 6 also, admittedly. It's helped by the fact that N64 games are quite tricksy to emulate, and I don't really want to sell a vital organ just to get the original Conker's cart. Intriguing to see some ZX Spectrum games on there too, released under Rare's previous name Ultimate Play the Game...perhaps the fabled Mire Mare is hidden in there somewhere?
So just found out this game is not actually 11gb it is actually between 11gb and 50gb. I knew that 11gb could not be correct. If you want to download all the games its 50gb. Otherwise you can pick which games you want.
I will edit the first post. This also explains why anyone (including myself) that currently has any of the "Rare" BC games from the 360, will have to re-download them.
I wonder if this means players with "Rare Replay" can play with players that have the bc versions of the game without actually owning "rare replay"??? 💡 I think this means we can.
I got up early and played about an hour of this. (Pre-loaded a few weeks ago) Absolutely love it. The UI is just fantastic. Jumping from game to game works very well. The games can be sorted alphabetical or by release date. They also added a rewind feature for the older games in case you get stuck. I have not used it yet, but I am sure I will eventually. On top of that you are able to save at any time in each game. They are also planning to add more games to this collection.
So far Rare Replay getting great reviews. This is one of the most accurate reviews so far IMO.
