Braking News

Activision have announced Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2 are coming to Xbox One on September 4th! If you pre-order you get access to The Warehouse demo which will be released at a later date.
https://blog.activision.com/tony-hawk/2020-05/Get-Ready-to-Grind-into-Tony-Hawks-Pro-Skater-1-and-2

Joel{aka} Falcon @JoelakaFalcon - The biggest thing on my mind is how amazing Tony Hawk 1&2 looked. I have so many memories with 1-4, I also can’t wait to see how much better this game will look running on the series x.

Seaumas MacIsaac @FamousSeumas - So how excited are you guys for the Tony Hawk 1 & 2 remaster? Also, if they don't include the secret characters from the original games, what secret characters would you like to see? I would want to see either Master Chief or Crash be secret characters in the game.

Ubisoft’s E3 presentation will now air as a digital event called Ubisoft Forward on July 12th at 3PM EST.

Epic have unveiled Unreal Engine 5 with a pretty impressive gameplay demo! It will be awhile before we see games taking advantage of this tech since it won’t hit full release until late 2021, but it looks to bring a huge bump in visual technology. Fortnite also confirmed for Series X launch as part of this announcement, with it getting Unreal Engine 5 support in mid 2021.

Jason C @JCarpingAbout - Which one of the games shown last week has piqued your interest the most? And why is it Chorus?

Edward Varnell @thatretrocode - Are we a well rounded audience for Series X or will we be served the same type of games, although pretty, like the last two generations for Xbox?

Nerd Chef @BasicExp - Do you think the strategy around the Series X is winning gamers over?

Welcome to The Extra Mile! This is the tag-along podcast to The Xbox Drive as we dive deep into the games and services you care about most. This week, Ryan takes to the streets in Streets of Rage 4!!

Questions:

Seumas MacIsaac @FamousSeumas - I got the Sega Vintage Collection: Streets of Rage from Games With Gold long ago. Should I play the older games in the series to get familiar with SoR4's gameplay? Or is the gameplay different from the older games.

Blaze Knight @BlazeKnight0923 - What custom food choices were your favorite? Personally I ran pizza slice and turkey... I may need to eat lunch.

TrashTurkey @trashturkey - Better cooked bird to eat off the street? Chicken or Turkey?

Blaze Knight @BlazeKnight0923 - Why oh why did they make a character model for Roo but not make him a playable character? Do you think we could see DLC for Roo, Estell, modern Max, or modern Shiva?

Thank Jason C @JCarpingAbout for his question for Gears Tactics. We missed it on the show. He asked “Does the turn-based genre pair up well with Gears like the RTS genre did with Halo?”

From Last Week: Maurice Burdock @chillnvilln34 - First of all Yeah Flames!

Q. With the two systems coming out is price point as important as it was a few years ago or is it about services and power? As a side note people don't mind paying 1500 for a phone every year but they won't pay 500 for something that lasts for 7 years??

Todd Oxtra @toxtra - Do you think we'll see xbox make any major announcements in May? Maybe a Lockhardt reveal?
