We're all being conned really. People buying old games over and over a again just with a fresh coat of paint. Devs are worried about releasing new franchises so stick with the old classics.

Nostalgic but gameplay is awkward compared to their next offering. Gears 4.

got this but is it true you can't play a match in private? didn't seem to be the option to learn maps without being in a 'real' match?
sorry for bold, couldn't write anything otherwise.

The remake I'd buy is Test Drive Unlimited. Fixed online structure, working servers and a Ferrari 288 GTO driven on the roads of Oahu Island during a sunset...
