@spartaaa: You still need to pay for new games. If you want to play the latest FIFA game, then you need to buy it. But with EA Access you'll get a 10% discount. You'll only get the previous years' versions "for free". The current list of Vault games is on this Wikipedia page. The most recent FIFA game available in the Vault is FIFA 16, but I think that you can play FIFA 17 for free for 10 hours.
Since the 1070 was promised to cost 380 dollars but ended up being around 600 dollars (550 euros) here in Finland, I need to find something cheaper as an upgrade. If the price of the 1060 sets at below 400 euros I might bite. Or then I'll just get a used 980 for even cheaper.
@spartaaa: EA Access is 25 bucks a year or 4 bucks a month the last I checked. With that you get access to "The Vault" games, which are mostly sports games from the previous years (think FIFA 16 etc.), Battlefield 4 and a lot of other stuff. There's also timed trials for games like Battlefront, Unravel and Mirror's Edge Catalyst.
I know the service is a bit controversial, but it's been a great solution for me. I like to fuck around with the odd sports game every now and then but I don't really care about the latest player rosters etc. EA Access lets me play all the relevant sports games and try out stuff I wouldn't have otherwise like Madden or NBA. I actually learned how American football is played for the first time through the EA Access version of Madden. Also the 10 hour trial of Battlefront was plenty, and I didn't have to buy the full game because of it.
Halo: The Master Chief Collection has four great co-op campaigns (five if you include ODST) and online multiplayer which you can play split-screen too. If you grab EA Access, you'll get games like NHL, FIFA, UFC, NBA and PGA "for free". As far as fighting games go, try the free version of Killer Instinct, and if you enjoy it then buy the season packs.
EDIT: The Ultimate Game Sale has some good multiplayer stuff on there. All the Gears of War games including the latest remaster, Diablo III, Rayman Origins and Life is Strange, which is a great game to play through with someone. Also, the aforementioned Halo:MCC for 20 bucks if you have Gold.
I wonder if any of the staff or voice actors who worked on the game will see any additional revenue from the re-release.
It's not really a re-release. Just the same release made available on a new platform. If any of the staff or talent had a royalty agreement with Rockstar, then they would get paid according to those contracts.
Let's assume, for example, that Rob Wiethoff (the voice of John Marston) had a contract where he would receive 0,1% of profits from each sold copy until perpetuity, then he would continue to receive that 0,1%. However, I doubt that any of the crew behind Red Dead Redemption, outside of top executives like the Housers, have a royalty clause. Who knows.
As a result, the 360 versions of Red Dead Redemption have jumped to the top of the "Movers & Shakers" list on Amazon. A 4,277% sales increase on the Game of the Year version.
A destroyed room suggests that young Lewis is still learning how to deal with his emotions. It kind of feels like this rivalry is slowly tearing Mercedes apart, which I'm not displeased about.
The Metro Redux combo is now 7.5 bucks on the Xbox "Ultimate Game Sale". The individual games are 5 euros/dollars.
I'll probably pick them up, even though I own the first un-remastered game on PC. Never really played it because my PC was having trouble running the game.
