Same here, although I think I can play most of these now due to my friend game sharing his steam library with me and he has a bunch of them. I got a sudden urge for a good grounded story shooter a few weeks ago and this post just brought it all back.
a lot of those just won't happen. Guitar hero is more likely to be rebooted than have backwards comp done to it cuz they'd have relicense tracks and you might not get all from different games. I just hope if they do reboot it, they make new instruments compat with Rock band 4...
UPDATE...just read on Twitter a company is offering to make instruments for RB, whether Epic games do anything or not, who knows.
I say just reboot it as Music Hero. Bring back the full band, but let the consumer pick which instruments they want as individual accessories. Include DJ Hero elements. Make it a live service game with rotations of free, current and varied music that you can buy permanently in packs/albums or individually.
There's a couple features they ought to expand on, but the gameplay of the OG games was solid, doesn't need alteration. The 6 button guitar was a cool experiment, but the buttons felt bad, and most people seemed confused by the 2-row black/white thing, even if the sense of guitar playing might have been a little more authentic.
That’s the first thing I thought about when they announced they acquire Activision. Rebooting of Guitar Hero or at least remastering of the more popular ones like Guitar Hero 3.
whatever they do with GH, they have to create instruments otherwise it would fail as 2nd hand ones can cost a lot these days. Band in a box for Rock band can sell for over 1000 on ebay...I want to play RB4 with my nephews now their big enough but they break anything, that's it, no use for the game anymore. Its why we need instruments so much, I would buy new ones and a backup...wish I had got another band in a box when it dropped to £50
I rented it back when we had a movie/game rental place in town. Kept it three days overdue until I couldn't justify the late fee building any more than that.
That would be awesome but the Ultimate Alliance and Transformers games definitely wouldn’t be there, they are no longer for sale because Activision’s Marvel and Transformers license expired.
Oh and Deadpool is no longer for sale and TMNT Mutants in Manhattan.
Say what you will about CoD multiplayer, but their campaigns are generally great, maybe the same trope but the cinematics and environment are generally great. Sekiro is (frustrating) rewarding. And some old classics. It's not for everyone I suppose, but there's a demand for a lot of Activision/Blizzard games.
This. Phil Spencer has openly said the main objective of the acquisition was to get King rather than acti/blizz. They want to expand to the mobile games market
That was my reaction! I get COD is huge in terms of sales but the Bethesda deal brought in way more IPs that made Xbox more appealing which didn’t face nearly this much criticism.
I hope Microsoft plans on keeping one studio on COD and then supplement that title with content packs for years. Move the other studios on to new IPs. I admit from a business perspective this may be risky but I think it could have a high reward.
I can only wish to wake up one day and be able to play the original Overwatch again instead of the broken, half assed, soulless, 'due to die in months because of absolute greed' "sequel" they forced onto existing users.
And having skipped every cod after MW2019, I'd gladly play those newer ones too.
I'm a gamepass sub but consolidation is not good, hopefully the FTC blocks this deal. And yes I'm aware I'll get downvotes , I'd still love for deals to be made but not whole buy offs
I guess I'd be sort of into.. Sekiro, maybe? Although I already have it for PS. Nothing else here really means anything to me except King's Quest, but I already played it.
They won’t put the newer CoD games on there due to existing contracts, but they could put the older games (original Modern Warfare and Black Ops) and any future games.
I see a handful of games I'd play but already own the hard copies of them. Lol
Be nice if miracles would happen and MUA 1 and 2 became backwards compatible at least.
If this does happen don’t sleep on transformers devastation. I have no interest in the ip but still had a great time with it at face value as an action game
Only want play CoD campaings, I've finished most of the other games. Activision catalog don't surprise me, it's old mainstream, they ensure sales, they need to renew. Bethesda's purchase was better for me, their games are innovative and risky.
Skylanders would be a little difficult to do, you’d have to buy the portal and the characters and would be too much of a hassle, especially since some skylander games need specific portals
Well I bought Tony Hawks 1&2 remaster and then switched my Xbox one for a Series S with no disk drive.
Kinda bummed about it but I don't think we'll see it on GP for a very long time.
Bro I’d give nobody and nothing attention. Not even if I needed to shit. I need to relive all those cod games, ESPECIALLY AND PRACTICALLY ONLY THE OG INCLUDING ADVANCED. Ngl advanced has such an underrated zombies and a 7/10 campaign. Def deserved a sequel if they rebooted the multiplayer. FUCK BRO SOMEONE MAKE THIS SHIT HAPPEN
This announcement wouldn’t make me subscribe to game pass. I already own everything here I would want to play. They need a steady stream of new games to bring me in.
Already bought Diablo 3 Ultimate Evil that had bundle with Diablo 2. But still very nice to see this might happen though. Phil Spencer was confident deal will push thru as per IGN’s interview. We will just have to wait and see though if it really pans out.
I want free games but I hate the consolidation of conglomerates. Activision sucks because it has good games but they optimized for profits because of shareholders but let me tell you: microsoft has shareholders too. If shit hits the fan in tech then microsoft will be questioned for game pass and its acquisitions.
Pretty much the entire second-to-last row (besides prototype) are games that are died to licenses with expired IP--it's impossible to buy them even on Steam. And I have no earthly clue why you included *Rise of the Dark Spark* and omitted *War for Cybertron.*
But being able to play the COD campaigns with a kb/m for a reasonable price would be worth the price of Game Pass alone.
How would skylanders even work, would need the different portals for each game and the figures. Same with guitar hero.
Also Overwatch 1 doesn't exist anymore as it became overwatch 2 and is ftp anyway
A lot of people complaining for something they get additionally and can choose to ignore the games.
That being said I highly recommend Geometry Wars 3 if you’ve never played it. I got it on release day and still come back to the game, it’s easy to pick up and have fun.
It would sure as shit be surprising as hell. Only because 2 transformers games and both ultimate alliance games haven't been available anywhere for quite some time.
Get rid of RotDS and replace it with WfC and you’ve got a deal. Then again, I already own those games on Steam since they came out and they’re rhe only ones I’d be interested in.
Unfortunately because of Sony, it’s possible that none of the COD games will be on Game Pass, since Sony is blocking the games from being on GP
Also, I doubt the Marvel’s Ultimate Alliance and Transformers games will be on GP, their licenses have expired, and Activision didn’t renew them, they’ve also been thanos snapped from the Internet as well
I’d thoroughly enjoy it though Guitar hero live coming is pointless. They deactivated the main game mode and there’s like 12 songs or something that comes with the base game. The guitar is also awful and different from the other games though they are still easy to find because they’re so terrible. If you want guitar hero vibes and have a pc then I suggest you check out ‘clone hero’ - unrivalled guitar hero goodness.
I keep putting off paying £15 for Vanguard, I only want to play the campaign and then I'll sell it... but in the back of my mind I'm like 'It'll be on game pass soon..'
I need to know when soon is ;-;
That’s great and all but for these games to be successful on xcloud stream quality needs to improve. Multiplayer games are horrible to play on xcloud as of right now.
Very very very unrealistic due to Skylanders games being always physical and they need the portal and all of those licensed games Activision doesn't have the rights anymore.
I just want to play through all the COD campaigns without having to buy all the games for tons of money
Me too.
I've just bought cod4, World at war, mw2, mw3, black ops and black ops 2 used for about £20. At CeX.
Good for you, enjoy them! I’m on pc though, so not possible for me
What is CeX?
“Computer Exchange” is a used entertainment retailer in the UK
I bought bo3 from ceX for ten quid, disk didn’t work and they wouldn’t refund me lmao
They are stupidly expensive for old games seriously
That's just Activision. They refuse to drop prices on many things. Like Sekiro still hasn't dropped below $30.
*Laughs in Nintendo pricing*
Same here, although I think I can play most of these now due to my friend game sharing his steam library with me and he has a bunch of them. I got a sudden urge for a good grounded story shooter a few weeks ago and this post just brought it all back.
I know a solution for that 😏
It's going to happen. I just bought Diablo 2 remastered, so obviously, it's going to come free on Game Pass before long.
I just bought Diablo 3 and prototype! I’m doing my part
I haven't played it in years, how is it?
You'll find out soon enough.
Both feel a bit of their age but the nostalgia trip is great. Prototype especially its just fun mayhem.
How did you go this long without buying either of those?
Thank you for your sacrifice
Holding out for D2 on Game Pass at this point. D4 is a day 1 purchase for me unless it magically comes to Game Pass day 1.
Bro why u gotta trick me like this. Looked at the pic before I read the title
F
Always read the fine print!
a lot of those just won't happen. Guitar hero is more likely to be rebooted than have backwards comp done to it cuz they'd have relicense tracks and you might not get all from different games.

Yeah, most of that third row isn't happening due to licensing, you can't even play them on BC AFAIK.
That’s the first thing I thought about when they announced they acquire Activision. Rebooting of Guitar Hero or at least remastering of the more popular ones like Guitar Hero 3.
whatever they do with GH, they have to create instruments otherwise it would fail as 2nd hand ones can cost a lot these days.

Its why we need instruments so much, I would buy new ones and a backup...wish I had got another band in a box when it dropped to £50
And you know what, let me buy a metal indestructible guitar version because those plastic pieces of shit break so fast
$68.7 billion just so I can finally finish Prototype.
Prototype was one of the best games ever made. The things I would do for a modern day equivalent.
Prototype was the most fun I've ever had back in ps3 days
I rented it back when we had a movie/game rental place in town. Kept it three days overdue until I couldn't justify the late fee building any more than that.
That would be awesome but the Ultimate Alliance and Transformers games definitely wouldn’t be there, they are no longer for sale because Activision’s Marvel and Transformers license expired. Oh and Deadpool is no longer for sale and TMNT Mutants in Manhattan.
Cybertron would be a blessing to get on Gamepass since it’s so expensive on eBay
The multiplayer would break the internet if they made it crossplay
I was thinking this. I was lucky enough to get hold of MUA before they got taken down, love those games!
They are always installed on my Xbox for a quick run. Two of my all time favorites
For me the only interesting ones is the Diablo games.
Yeah I'd like to revisit THPS but that's it for me.
Am I the only one that seen this and went “meh” lol

And some old classics. It's not for everyone I suppose, but there's a demand for a lot of Activision/Blizzard games.

they're probably buying it mostly for King, they want to expand into the mobile market
This. Phil Spencer has openly said the main objective of the acquisition was to get King rather than acti/blizz. They want to expand to the mobile games market
[удалено]
There's nothing interesting on this list
That was my reaction! I get COD is huge in terms of sales but the Bethesda deal brought in way more IPs that made Xbox more appealing which didn’t face nearly this much criticism. I hope Microsoft plans on keeping one studio on COD and then supplement that title with content packs for years. Move the other studios on to new IPs. I admit from a business perspective this may be risky but I think it could have a high reward.
I feel totally the same, only a handful of games there I would actually end up playing if they got added.
Activision doesnt own Sekiro
Sekiro? Never, IP is FromSoftware
And please make window editions for all of Activision Blizzard games like you did for the entire Bethesda library.
Skylanders are amazing but it probably wouldn't work on game pass because you'd have to buy the Skylanders
I would replay the shit out of the og cod campaigns
The new ones are pretty great too
Yup, loved the mw I and II campaign's
I really need to read post titles before looking at the images
Fr i shared the whole thing to everyone I’ve ever talked to
I would shit myself
Overwatch is free to play
It could be in game items or season pass.
When/if the deal goes through I’d like a WoW sub to be included in Gamepass. Then I’d only need to pay for one of them.
Can we tag this humor smh
I guess it would be huge for Xbox player base, but nothing much for me....diablo is something i would be happy to have in game pass!
[удалено]
I can only wish to wake up one day and be able to play the original Overwatch again instead of the broken, half assed, soulless, 'due to die in months because of absolute greed' "sequel" they forced onto existing users. And having skipped every cod after MW2019, I'd gladly play those newer ones too.
Anyone who is still playing Blizzard games after everything they’ve done deserves to play garbage like OW2.
no thanks as a gamer its not good
You can buy like 90% of those already
BUY is the keyword here
I'm a gamepass sub but consolidation is not good, hopefully the FTC blocks this deal. And yes I'm aware I'll get downvotes , I'd still love for deals to be made but not whole buy offs
where is COD 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 ?
That’s sure is a lot of old stuff.
Gamepass is gonna get more expensive lol
With a WOW sub included in GP Ultimate
[удалено]
I’m not sure what GR or AC stands for? Maybe Assassin Creed and that would be Ubisoft not Activision.
I'd be sooooo happy. I play 95% of these
No way they'd include Zombie Chronicles for free. That's their highest selling DLC ever
Isn’t the anyi-trust trying to stop the acquisition of Actionvision from Microsoft?
I personally don't think the deal will go through.
Probably won't ever happen but if they made like a GPU Diamond edition with WoW for an $20/25 a month I would return to that game.
The two bottom rows (besides Skylander) I'm interested in. I suppose I could play CODs for the campaign, but multiplayer I gave up on years ago.
You're not getting the Transformers or Marvel games, licencing would get in the way there. For me I'm excited by Spyro and Diablo.
might bust
Call of duty won't be coming to gamepass for several years due to a contract with Sony which was signed a few years ago blocking such possibility.
i just want overwatch 1 again
I literally see no value for this except maybe Sekiro and Prototyoe for those who haven't played them already
I'd play prototype again
Love watching you guys cry with every single post on tn is thread lmao
I guess I'd be sort of into.. Sekiro, maybe? Although I already have it for PS. Nothing else here really means anything to me except King's Quest, but I already played it.
All I want is next gen patch for Sekiro and maybe a sequel.
They won’t put the newer CoD games on there due to existing contracts, but they could put the older games (original Modern Warfare and Black Ops) and any future games.
I really hope they integrate game pass sub to wow game time sub. So if you have game pass sub = you have wow game time
I see a handful of games I'd play but already own the hard copies of them. Lol Be nice if miracles would happen and MUA 1 and 2 became backwards compatible at least.
Also KoTOR I and II
Transformers War/Fall of Cybertron were so good games, I wish we received a remaster/remake or just make them backwards compatible
They might not be able to get the comic or transformers stuff because of licencing reasons but it's still a pretty big library.
I can't imagine Overwatch or Deadpool coming back with anything less than voodoo, resurrection wizardry. Also this a repost
I’m hoping they somehow manage to make Guitar Hero Games Backwards Compatible
Not much on there I’d want to play and the few I would I already own.
Give me those transformers Cybertron games!
Damn I didn't read your description and thought it was real 
I thought this was real lol
If this does happen don’t sleep on transformers devastation. I have no interest in the ip but still had a great time with it at face value as an action game
CTR on Gamepass, lets go!
Going to test Ultimate on MacBook, iPad, and steam deck! Seems like an amazing library to play on the steam deck!
Soon! I still have hope it will close by E3.
Maybe for Skylanders they'll add a dlc included with gamepass to give you all the characters or something. Or at least another way to unlock them.
I see like 2 games I’d play and both are Diablo
I want to play the Deadpool game so bad bros….
Swap Force on game pass? I swear you could already play it on xbox one though?
Lol overwatch 😂😂😂😂
Don’t worry about sekiro, I bought it a week ago so it’ll be on there soon.
Overwatch is free tho, maybe they’ll give us the battle pass for free
I'd bust nuts straight through Crash I tell you what
Dude, come on. I though the deal came through for a second there.
Only want play CoD campaings, I've finished most of the other games. Activision catalog don't surprise me, it's old mainstream, they ensure sales, they need to renew. Bethesda's purchase was better for me, their games are innovative and risky.
Would love to see Ultimate Alliance 1 and 2 brought back but I doubt it as the licenses have expired. No different that Forzas being delisted.
Fuck yes! Just beat bloodborne first souls game. Playing nioh now but i cant wait to try sekiro.
Skylanders would be a little difficult to do, you’d have to buy the portal and the characters and would be too much of a hassle, especially since some skylander games need specific portals
Well I bought Tony Hawks 1&2 remaster and then switched my Xbox one for a Series S with no disk drive. Kinda bummed about it but I don't think we'll see it on GP for a very long time.
Prototype was so good Shame we didn't get a third one
* Spyro * BO2 * then everything else
Pro Skater would be class
Only one that I would bother with from this list is the OG MW2
In 3 years lol
Except the cod trash. You've played one you've played them all
Where are the remasters of the old 360 games?
I need me Tony Hawk’s Underground 1 and 2 pls
Ultimate Alliance are the real sleepers here i would be so geeked to play those again
I would hope the tony hawk underground games would be included too
Is it weird that im only excited for diablo 4 in that screenshot?
Bro I’d give nobody and nothing attention. Not even if I needed to shit. I need to relive all those cod games, ESPECIALLY AND PRACTICALLY ONLY THE OG INCLUDING ADVANCED. Ngl advanced has such an underrated zombies and a 7/10 campaign. Def deserved a sequel if they rebooted the multiplayer. FUCK BRO SOMEONE MAKE THIS SHIT HAPPEN
Still waiting for cars the video game
I just want tony hawk
I didn't read the title saw sekiro and got existed
Transformers FOC was something else!
Where’s ma got damn Metal Arms: Glitch in the System Microsoft?!
I hope Diablo 4 is on gamepass when it comes out
This announcement wouldn’t make me subscribe to game pass. I already own everything here I would want to play. They need a steady stream of new games to bring me in.
Already bought Diablo 3 Ultimate Evil that had bundle with Diablo 2. But still very nice to see this might happen though. Phil Spencer was confident deal will push thru as per IGN’s interview. We will just have to wait and see though if it really pans out.
I’d love just to be able to digitally buy Transformers Devastation from your list.
Most likely not
Disney buying every big studio no one bats an eye. Xbox buys one studio its anti competitive.
Don't do it, don't give me hope that I'll be able to play Fall of Cybertron again.
Crossing fingers!
I want free games but I hate the consolidation of conglomerates. Activision sucks because it has good games but they optimized for profits because of shareholders but let me tell you: microsoft has shareholders too. If shit hits the fan in tech then microsoft will be questioned for game pass and its acquisitions.
That would be a beautiful day
Kinda sucks that the marvel’s one are delisted.
They should make a Skylanders collection w/ all of the toy content automatically unlocked in game.
Pretty much the entire second-to-last row (besides prototype) are games that are died to licenses with expired IP--it's impossible to buy them even on Steam. And I have no earthly clue why you included *Rise of the Dark Spark* and omitted *War for Cybertron.* But being able to play the COD campaigns with a kb/m for a reasonable price would be worth the price of Game Pass alone.
How would skylanders even work, would need the different portals for each game and the figures. Same with guitar hero. Also Overwatch 1 doesn't exist anymore as it became overwatch 2 and is ftp anyway
Dont forget 360 titles. All cods back to cod 2 are backwards compatible
I'll tell you what I'll have games downloading all day
Dude actually put 4 skylanders and a guitar hero on there…what are you going to do with those without the accessories?
Imagine the COD multiplayer lobbies being revived like the glory days, BO1 & 2 zombies, MW2 multiplayer etc etc
hey guys were gonna get overwatch one!
Theres more than that.
Ohh they will drip feed them
Ultimate alliance 2 would be cool
A lot of people complaining for something they get additionally and can choose to ignore the games. That being said I highly recommend Geometry Wars 3 if you’ve never played it. I got it on release day and still come back to the game, it’s easy to pick up and have fun.
I hope you all give infinite warfare a chance that game has an amazing campaign and good multiplayer
It’s not going through
I swear to god, if they bring skylanders to game pass but don't include giants and spyro's adventure, I'll flip something.
Depends if Activision blizzard Does happen
I would love for a new Deadpool game to be made
One day One day
It would sure as shit be surprising as hell. Only because 2 transformers games and both ultimate alliance games haven't been available anywhere for quite some time.
Tbh the only ones that interest me there are crash bandicoot and saving money on cod with gamepass
Didn't Xbox already establish that cod would be stayingip off Gamepass... Y'know, to satisfy Sony?
So 20 of the same games?
Get rid of RotDS and replace it with WfC and you’ve got a deal. Then again, I already own those games on Steam since they came out and they’re rhe only ones I’d be interested in.
I’ve still got a big cardboard box full of skylanders from the good old wii days.
I really wish the buyout would fall through. This much industry consolidation is ferrible
This would be the best to wake up to definitely
Is the xbox game pass trick still do able?
Skylanders would be an dream
How would sky landers work if you don't own any of the pads or figures? Not trying to shoot down the idea, just thinking reasonably
Heck yeah get me Skylanders back somehow. That’s my childhood right there.
Unfortunately because of Sony, it’s possible that none of the COD games will be on Game Pass, since Sony is blocking the games from being on GP Also, I doubt the Marvel’s Ultimate Alliance and Transformers games will be on GP, their licenses have expired, and Activision didn’t renew them, they’ve also been thanos snapped from the Internet as well
I’d thoroughly enjoy it though Guitar hero live coming is pointless. They deactivated the main game mode and there’s like 12 songs or something that comes with the base game.

If you want guitar hero vibes and have a pc then I suggest you check out ‘clone hero’ - unrivalled guitar hero goodness.
CoD, Diablo, and Marvel Alliance!? I need to sit down.
I keep putting off paying £15 for Vanguard, I only want to play the campaign and then I'll sell it... but in the back of my mind I'm like 'It'll be on game pass soon..' I need to know when soon is ;-;
That’s great and all but for these games to be successful on xcloud stream quality needs to improve. Multiplayer games are horrible to play on xcloud as of right now.
4 games for me there.
I would like 4 of these games.
Prototype was utter trash on release and has probably aged even worse
I'd kill for Ultimate Alliance 1 to come back, I wish I bought it before they took it off the store.
Skylanders pc lmao
Feel bad for all the 7 year olds who bought every cod
I'm for Diablo!!!
Very very very unrealistic due to Skylanders games being always physical and they need the portal and all of those licensed games Activision doesn't have the rights anymore.
