[UPDATE] Phantom Dust HD Remaster Comes to PC and XboxOne For Free

Capture.JPG

One of the original Xbox's classic titles is getting the HD-remaster treatment and it's coming to PC and Xbox One all for free and no later than today!

Announced during E3 2016 for a 2017 release, the game will finally be available to download today, May 16th.

According to Polygon’s interview with Adam Isgreen, the producer, there will be optional paid DLCs:

“There’s a free DLC download you can do the minute you start the game that gives you a whole bunch of skills and an arsenal case so you can jump right into multiplayer with a nice assortment of cards that you can build decks from. We’ve also got a whole bunch of accelerants that are in the game on the multiplayer side, so if you want all of the skills immediately, for a couple bucks, you can get all of the skills.

We haven’t changed anything about the way that the original game worked; we’ve just added this as a convenience thing.
So if people want to grind and they want to play exactly like they did when the original game came out, that is all in place. Everything about how the game works and functions is there. We really wanted to allow people to jump into multiplayer and play immediately."

For those unfamiliar with the game, it is an arena battler built for four players, where players build their skills using decks of cards. It was initially developed and released by Microsoft Japan and arrived to the west near the end of the original Xbox's lifetime. In the video below, Isgreen gives you an intro to the game:



We'll update the post with the link to download the game once the devs wake up it's available.

UPDATE:
The download link is now live! You can check it below. Enjoy!

It's actually a really good game. The music and atmosphere was great. It was an underrated gem on Xbox.

It's out now. Go to the Windows Store.
Finally? Let me check again.
Before I was trying to get this on the xbox store, but only a free dlc was available instead of the game.

PS: Yey, finally showed up for me. So, this supports crossdevice multiplayer? nice.

Same happened to me a few minutes ago. If you still can't find the game itself, click on that DLC and it'll have a link to the main game.

So is this coming to the Windows store? If so, hard pass. If Steam, of course I'll take it.
It's a free game that doesn't require an additional download (since you already have the Store) if you're like 50%+ of Steam's userbase and have Windows 10. It's really no one's loss but your own. You'll have to find some other games to add to your Steam games list that you'll never play.

    @SylverReZ, atleast wiimmfii went fine although people only use it for Mario kart Wii
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    At least if they ban you for cheating, get another Wii. They're cheap as chips.

    Remember when RiiShop was a thing?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    not really
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    It got shutdown because somebody "accidentally" leaked the database for the amount of people using the beta.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    RiiShop is the laziest way of downloading Wii games. Did somebody not think of this through?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    although i ended up accidentally changing my nand with no way of going back bc i didn't know you needed a gamecube controller to restore it (i have a wii minus/1.1, which doesn't have gamecube controller support)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, I think you're talking about the recovery mode that the SaveMii used, and also was to restore softbricked systems.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    If your NAND was hardbricked, then just buy another Wii. Or go with the dirty NAND flasher method.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    and if i find the sd card i have my NAND backed up on, i can not only restore the NAND if i solder the right part in, but i can also put my NAND on dolphin, then i can play dolphin online, like PMEX Remix or MKWii Riibalanced
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Brb
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, Oh yeah, that was a thing too. Dolphin does support Wiimmfi.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    yeah you just need to put your NAND backup with wiimmfi on it
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    ngl i feel like if a bunch of my friends have wiis and know how to get wiimmfi and back up their NAND, then we could do a PMEX Remix tournament
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    maybe even add UMVC3/DBFZ and make it a biathlon/triathlon
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Too bad Excite Truck wasn't multi player :(
