No one at Microsoft wanted to do Banjo before. The series creator said he'd rather work on Viva Pinata 3 first (Which, to be fair, Based). Toys For Bob said they really want to do Banjo and they are now owned by MS. So there's now a chance.
Crimson Skies
Heavy Gear 3, now that Mechwarrior is no longer MS or Activision
Speaking of Toys for Bob, who owns Star Control now?
Stardock owns the trademark but the original devs own their concepts, designs i.e. the SOVL
They're supposedly still part of ToysForBob but The Ur-Quan Masters 2 is currently being developed by them under Pistol Shrimp Games, so I'd assume M$ currently doesn't have its paws on it.
no
frick you
frick you for putting this thought in my head
I was so goddamn fricking excited for this game back when I was 14
I do not want this new 'blizzard' to fricking shit on what this was supposed to be
I am sure if blizzard in the early 2000's couldn't make it work that nu-blizzard can't. Nu-blizz would probably just release some I don't need no man feminist trash that plays like shit has crazy bugs and always online even though it is single player.
>Reviving anything when he just said if Gamepass doesn't bring in enough people by 2027 Xbox as a brand will be officially killed off
They're not developing any "forgotten game" in just 3 years considering they STILL refuse to make games at all.
What the frick is he going to bring back when Xbox has been in total freefall for a decade and the few games they did put out were catastrophic flops? Where the frick would the millions of buyers for those forgotten games even be in the first place? Fricking worthless PR talk from some clueless suit and you "people" basedface over it.
Ignore what he actually says and look at what we actually got. Starfield, redfield, halo infinite, ghostwire tokyo... then a few decent indie titles. He isn't making good games. The only thing xbox has is gamepass.
I'd suck his dick for a PC version of Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradise. Preferably with options to remove the garden limit, but I'll take what I can get.
Phil Spencer's desperate attempt at saying pandering shit that he thinks people will like while meaning absolutely none of it will never not be pathetic. Almost as pathetic as the morons who fall for it.
sucks
I miss the days when we'd get a bunch of fairly component AA games with a single player focus
these days AA games are mostly jank and not competent
I don't mind since I can make something great and nothing could compete. But, I do wish it never got here, this is like the dark times before the good times. I hate multiplayer games with a passion.
If >card game doesn't immediately turn you off they are pretty fun. Real time combat where cards can be single attacks, summons that follow you around, cards that let you transform into a monster for traversal options (super jump, flying over pits etc.) + attack etc, can combo cards together for big flashy summon attack etc. Levels are neat deck building puzzles too as need to balance things different elemental weaknesses, having the traversal powers, have mix of strong single use cards with weaker but reusable ones etc. I like these games a lot + they emulate well.
The game was published my Microsoft, but they don't own the rights (now owned by THQ Nordic).
Similar situation to Outer Worlds where it was published by Private Division (TakeTwo).
I can see this one coming true, even if it's just a nightdive remaster.
Spencer wore a Hexen shirt on stage before the deal closed, and has said he would like to see an new game.
no they're going to outsource lost odyssey 2 to 40 different dev teams with no oversight over the course of 6 years and wonder why nobody wants to play it when it finally "releases" in an early access state
Why is this the standard modus operandi? Acquire studios and then have them release frick all? Microsoft and embracer both did basically the same thing
They want to own the IPs. They give zero shits about anything else.
Making video games is expensive and time consuming and risky and since you need a small island nation of people to do it you're going to run into a bunch of social problems....
But you know what's easy? Selling the rights to an IP.
They're gearing up for the flood of video game movies and TV.
The latest Mario movie was the video game industry's "Iron Man". They're now frothing at the mouth to pump out more.
Phil was so right about Nintendo in that leaked email. Nintendo is already now gearing up to be a entertainment company than just a video game company.
The problem with Phill is that he is too nice, unironically. He literally cannot manage properly the studios.
Games will have no deadline and fall into dev-hell for a lack of pressure and direction. This is what happened to most Xbox games in the last few years.
This is true based on all reports, Microsoft is hands off to a fault. The only time they seemed to have stepped in for what could be years was the delaying and further QA testing of starfield. RARE has been pretty independent since they stopped doing Kinect shit. There’s no shot games like Pentiment by Obsidian or Hi-Fi Rush was greenlit by MS higher ups. It’s why the quality and tone of their first parties vary so much and lack clear identity compared to Sony movie games, and Nintendos fun for all ages look
MS needs a tardwrangler superviser, like what I assume Miyamoto does at Nintendo.
Someone to overseer the projects and put the directors into shape whenever they get stuck.
>10 years since the last Killer Instinct >15 years since the last Banjo-Kazooie >18 years since the last Conker (Young Conker was a nothingburger) >15 years since the last Viva Piñata
To be fair Rare doesn't have the talent to do a new entry in any of these franchises but their entire catalog has been rotting for a decade at minimum. They dropped Rare Replay to remind everyone that they used to be rockstars but they also refuse to port it to PC or Switch where it would actually do gangbusters.
Viva Pinata >pretty much the last game real Rare made and the best title(s) they did for Xbox >simple as frick for modern braindead devs to make without it taking a 4-5 fricking year dev cycle, just focusing around one good looking environment which Rare has proven they can do with Sea of Thieves >actually an untapped genre, most attempts miss the point (akin to Stardew vs other HM knockoffs)
Who am I kidding, they'd probably ruin it with cosmetics mtx anyway.
Xbox literally has zero franchises outside of Halo and GoW.
No-one gives a shit about rare and only cave dwelling wizards would buy a new banjo or conker.
Phil, please, I'm growing old and senile. Give me Lost Odyssey 2 already.
Heck, if can be Lost Odyssey -1 even, pick one of those stories in the game and make a game around that.
But LO2 with Seth as mc, I'd be down for that.
>What franchises do you want Microsoft to revive?
None. They will all be remade for "modern audiences" which actually means made for trannies, gays and women.1
Battle toads would be cool as an action platformer. Conker as a puzzle platformer with south park style writing. Crash / Spyro themed sports games and party games. Guitar hero obviously. More Tony Hawk games. make an Arbiter game, or reboot and dig into the zombie space angle halo used to have. A turn based rpg no gimmicks 30 hours in length using warcraft lore. Theres a lot they could do.
Dishonored
>Dishonored made by current arkane
Anon, no.
Didn't the FTC leak documents showing that a third one is planned in the next couple years?
Everyone competent at Arkane left during Redfall's production. It's over. The company is dead.
Arkane is dead anon
>we finally get Dishonored 3, set in Pandyssia
>it's goyslop about killing whitey as a proud POC instead of dark continent witch doctor kino
None from modern shitzard.
genuinely crazy someone can say this with a straight face whilst being the owner of the banjo kazooie franchise
No one at Microsoft wanted to do Banjo before. The series creator said he'd rather work on Viva Pinata 3 first (Which, to be fair, Based). Toys For Bob said they really want to do Banjo and they are now owned by MS. So there's now a chance.
I would prefer they do a Diddy Kong Racing spiritual sequel that includes some Crash and Spyro characters
Crimson Skies
Heavy Gear 3, now that Mechwarrior is no longer MS or Activision
Speaking of Toys for Bob, who owns Star Control now?
Stardock Entertainment owns Star Control these days
Stardock owns the trademark but the original devs own their concepts, designs i.e. the SOVL
They're supposedly still part of ToysForBob but The Ur-Quan Masters 2 is currently being developed by them under Pistol Shrimp Games, so I'd assume M$ currently doesn't have its paws on it.
>Viva Pinata 3
PLEASE
Banjo Kazooie is such overrated trash
>phil says something
>omg baaaaaased
>never happens
>*crickets*
>phil says something
>omg baaaaased
>repeat
every fricking time since 2013
Phil has given the studios the greenlight and it's up to them to actually make it and deliver
>trust the plan
Why did he need to? Had he given them a years-long red light beforehand?
>Activision owns Monolith
Blood 3: we didn't rush it this time
>Revived as modern gaming pozzed goyslop
A fate worse than death
LETS FRICKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
IT'S TIME.
no
frick you
frick you for putting this thought in my head
I was so goddamn fricking excited for this game back when I was 14
I do not want this new 'blizzard' to fricking shit on what this was supposed to be
what exists of it was leaked and it was shit, don't let some moron get to you anon
I am sure if blizzard in the early 2000's couldn't make it work that nu-blizzard can't. Nu-blizz would probably just release some I don't need no man feminist trash that plays like shit has crazy bugs and always online even though it is single player.

Trust the plan
ah yes more remasters and remakes, what a time to be alive
I'd suck his dick for a PC version of Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradise. Preferably with options to remove the garden limit, but I'll take what I can get.
>Which franchise will Microsoft plan to ruin?
Ideally none. Just let games die and make your own IPs.
Starcraft Ghost
>A white, fit, large-chested, attractive female protagonist
lol Microsoft won’t touch that. Or if they do they’ll make her a fat, angry, black womyn.
Phil Spencer's desperate attempt at saying pandering shit that he thinks people will like while meaning absolutely none of it will never not be pathetic. Almost as pathetic as the morons who fall for it.
ain't no way this game is coming back
yeah because every game nowadays has to be multiplayer live service slop that dies in a month.
sucks
I miss the days when we'd get a bunch of fairly component AA games with a single player focus
these days AA games are mostly jank and not competent
I don't mind since I can make something great and nothing could compete. But, I do wish it never got here, this is like the dark times before the good times. I hate multiplayer games with a passion.
You could totally make a metal arms live service game.
But also live service fever is dying out
none tbh senpai
can't believe i had to scroll this far to find the correct response
>microshit
literally none
Blinx?
2024 IS BLINX YEAR
Pokemon Red
Oh no.
Prototype.
When teams Phil, you killed them. You'll have to resurrect them first
so whens that crimson skies port he talked about years ago coming?
xbox won
Crimson Skies sequel
My pick
PHIIIIIIIIIIIIIL
They snuck a second of Prototype in the "Welcome" trailer. So they have it on their mind at least
Fromsoftware made 1 non souls sequel recently how about another?
>some GC exclusives no one told me about
Huh.
Are they shit?
i dont have to tell you shit you pubeless zoomer frick!!!

I really fricking loved them. Own both on disk.
Definite recommend if you like monster summon games
Isn't this that skittles game?
No that's "Darkened Skye"
Not a great game, but it's passable. 6/10. Some jokes were pretty funny. Ending felt really abrupt though.
Blinx the time cat
BRING FEAR BACK
Owned by Warner Bros sadly
It'll never happen, but..
xboxtards be like
>i hope they bring back a bunch of shitty AA baby games!!!
Please Mr. Microsoft, I just want a sequel. I know Relic hasn't released a good game in ages, but please give this franchise a chance.
The game was published my Microsoft, but they don't own the rights (now owned by THQ Nordic).
Similar situation to Outer Worlds where it was published by Private Division (TakeTwo).
you don't want that, look at what's happening to fable
Heretic?
I can see this one coming true, even if it's just a nightdive remaster.
Spencer wore a Hexen shirt on stage before the deal closed, and has said he would like to see an new game.
Warcraft 4, by the guys who are working on AoE2
Skate
>microsoft ceo phil spencer
this article is written by a 7 year old
you mean ruin old game and fill them with blacks and gays? no thanks
Honestly, they don’t really have anything that I want. I guess give Halo a hard reboot, and set it in Fall of Reach, before the Covenant even show up.
If he had made even ONE good game in his career as A HUGE PUBLISHER I might give a frick. But he hasn't
Frick Phil Spencer and frick microsoft
Think we will get a jetset future
if everyone forgot about them do they exist?
can you bring back what never really existed?
yea
Heretic
Mech Warrior
Freelancer
>Heretic AND Freelancer
My homie.
>he doesn't know about mech warrior 5
I own it, and I stand by what I said.
They're really short of money, huh.
Oh is microshit finally going to let some of their acquired studios make something?
no they're going to outsource lost odyssey 2 to 40 different dev teams with no oversight over the course of 6 years and wonder why nobody wants to play it when it finally "releases" in an early access state
Why is this the standard modus operandi? Acquire studios and then have them release frick all? Microsoft and embracer both did basically the same thing

Don't worry bro. Valve is next and then Nintendo.
Phil4President
They don't care about making games, they just care that the competition has no or limited access to making those games
But if they're not making those games then what's the point?
BLACKTHORNE 2 BABYYYY
This homosexual cancelled Phantom Dust 2 so he can eat a fricking dick.
phantom dust, and please for the love of god, put the current one on steam! not on the microsoft store.
Like you wouldn’t believe
nearly 20 years later and im still mad

Bring back HotS, Phil.
Frick it, make it a Microsoft all stars moba
I'd want a new Hexen game but not from M$ or any of the studios it owns, so I'm shit outta luck
>10 years since the last Killer Instinct
>15 years since the last Banjo-Kazooie
>18 years since the last Conker (Young Conker was a nothingburger)
>15 years since the last Viva Piñata
To be fair Rare doesn't have the talent to do a new entry in any of these franchises but their entire catalog has been rotting for a decade at minimum. They dropped Rare Replay to remind everyone that they used to be rockstars but they also refuse to port it to PC or Switch where it would actually do gangbusters.
Also Californian Battletoads was so forgettable I forgot to put it in this post
Blue Dragon with more oppai e-girls. That stuff are hot as frick.
>based phil pulls up more promises from his ass he has no intention to deliver on

YES, GREAT! ANNOUNCE MORE GAMES THAT WILL NEVER COME OUT AND IF THEY DO THEY ARE DOGSHIT!

why do people keep falling for the lies that this charlatan spews?
>forgotten franchise you once loved is being revived
>new game is shit and inferior to the old game
Screenshot this
>Microsoft CEO
What? When did that happen?
Xbox literally has zero franchises outside of Halo and GoW.
No-one gives a shit about rare and only cave dwelling wizards would buy a new banjo or conker.
I mean, Banjo-Kazooie is sitting right there!
But I don't think they're going to make the series justice, so I don't know if I want them to revive it.
it means nothing since this gay is not giving us what we actually want
Phil, please, I'm growing old and senile. Give me Lost Odyssey 2 already.
Heck, if can be Lost Odyssey -1 even, pick one of those stories in the game and make a game around that.
But LO2 with Seth as mc, I'd be down for that.
