Xbox One X Enhancements For ReCore Coming In Definitive Edition - Report

Here's what could be in the Definitive Edition.

69 Comments

It sure looks like the rumoured ReCore: Definitive Edition is indeed real. Following multiple leaks, the Microsoft Store posted a product page for the unannounced game, according to Gematsu.

According to the site, the product page--which no longer appears to be functional--said that the game would be available for Xbox One and PC on August 29, priced at $30.

The Definitive Edition will reportedly include a new "Eye of Obsidian" mission and T8-NK Corebot frame. The listing also reportedly said the game will have enhancements for Xbox One X, along with HDR support.

Earlier this week, ReCore's official Twitter account said some kind of ReCore announcement is coming on August 20. This is the same day as Microsoft's Gamescom briefing, so it could be that an announcement is made there.

The Xbox Gamescom briefing is also expected to bring news about Xbox One X pre-order information. The briefing begins at 12 PM PT / 3 PM ET / 8 PM BST / 9 PM CEST. That comes out to 5 AM AEST on August 21 for people in Australia.

Designed by Mega Man's Keiji Inafune, ReCore launched in September 2016 at a budget price of $40. The game, which was the first in Microsoft's Xbox Play Anywhere Xbox One/PC program, saw middle-of-the-road reviews. It was discounted quickly, and you can get it for around $20 right now.

For more on ReCore, check out GameSpot's review and what other critics are saying. In other news, the game is adding 4K support later this year.

Unless the xb1x can change the game itself to be longer, have more content, much better content and mechanics then it seems pointless to enhance such a lackluster title..

So I am confused here I already have this game does this definitive edition mean that I can't get the enhanced visuals unless I buy this new version and if not then what is the point of this definitive edition since they never released any DLC for this game for it to be bundled with?

Wait, so they are reselling a game just to add 4K support? That's hilarious. This game was crap, I'm not sure why it needs a definitive edition, there also wasn't any DLC which is normally why there are such releases, so it's clear it's just to make people pay for a 4K upgrade.

This machine needs new games to sell. And since it's a powerful one, it needs hardware demanding games to sell. And Microsoft need their games to run on all their current console models, so any new game they release can't actually be too hardware demanding. But a machine like the Xbox One X needs powerful games to sell its power, so... Catch 22 situation, more or less.

@StonerDemon: Xbox One X needs to be... OUT FIRST!! 3rd Devs will show its TRUE power in due time! But! I can't wait to see/play Final Fantasy 15, Witcher 3, and Forza 7 on the Xbox One X! Both FF 15 and Witcher 3 bought the Xbox One to its kneels. Let's see. If the Xbox One X can change that in a BIG WAY!!

@joannadark360: couldn't agree with you more. I'll be waiting on the X1X to finish Final Fantasy XV and ReCore myself.

Bet this releases November 7th so MS can try to add to their amazing launch line-up of Super Lucky's Tale. Pathetic that MS isn't even supporting their own console's launch with any AAA games. Phil's doing such a great job, I mean what else could we say when Xbox orginally had 6 AAA games slated for 2017 and only have 2 of them rlease in 2017. Bravo Phil, Bravo.

Hope the One X fails so we can get someone as head of Xbox that actually knows what they are doing. Don F'n Mattrick never had a line-up this bad. It says a lot when the new Head of Xbox is making Don F'n Mattrick look like he knew what he was doing.

This is where we are now; launch a new console with a revamped version of a game that's not been out long (although most people forgot about it already) rather than some beefy fresh launch titles that really make you want the console.

@Carpetfluff: This is NOT a next-gen console! This is for the 1080p or DEATH cry babies!

@Marky360: That is up to developers tho! Seeing how TEKKEN 7 is going to be checkerboard 4K on the Xbox One X.

Oh come on, a "Definitive Edition" for a game that didn't have DLC or an expansion to begin with? One mission and one corebot and somehow that justifies a 150% hike on the current $20 price tag. Everyone that owns this game should be getting this for free.

They better not pull this shit instead of giving free 4K updates for other 1st party titles like Sunset Overdrive, Quantum Break and Gears 4 or Halo 5.

@twilightangel: Yea. That's most likely what this edition of this game is for. But. You gotta get a Xbox One X or have a Gaming PC to see it.

if it fixes the loading times, perhaps it's worth a look.
