Phil Spencer is back in the headlines today, having taken to Twitter to answer some fan questions regarding the Xbox One library, Game Pass, and the plans moving forward. He acknowledged the platform’s lack of new IP, as well as a fan’s outcry for more first-party Western-RPGs. This clear understanding of Microsoft’s shortcomings is reassuring to see, but will it translate to their E3 presentation this year?
Ex-Rocksteady directors' Hundred Star is collaborating with Xbox Game Studios Publishing for its first-ever AAA game.
Highly doubt it'll be an actual Batman game that IP belongs to WB Games along with other DC property.
They're making an action adventure game. IMO I think it needs to be another Marvel game despite MS already have Blade as that action Marvel game. Dead Pool? Punisher?
Realistically it'll probably be a new IP entirely.
I hope these devs needed support to start/finish (like Stalker 2), vs are basically done with the game but wanted to secure an exclusivity-bonus because they know Xbox needs a system seller (like Titanfall).
It’s a bit strange that they’d rather invest in this game than Tangoworks’ TWO canceled projects; or just trust a single dev from their existing massive stable of talent to emerge with a system-seller themselves anytime soon.
Either way, it is just cool that we’ll likely get a new IP from the geniuses behind the Arkham Trilogy. I wonder how creative they’ll get now that they aren’t married to an established franchise.
This is about the former co-founders of Rocksteady and their new studio. So naturally it makes people think its Batman related with the way its worded, even though its not.
Exclusive? Sure
This year alone Microsoft has changed their plans so much with Xbox regarding multiplatform releases as they step closer to just being a full blown third party publisher and it's only been 4-5 months, imagine where we'll be once this game is finished. It will be a completely different landscape.
Spawn (as well as master chief) are the only characters I associate with Xbox. Are there more I can’t remember?
Industry insider Dusk Golem reveals that there is no Resident Evil 1 Remake in the works. Instead, Capcom are reportedly in active development of Resident Evil Zero and Code Veronica.
RE Zero would be better to do first over RE1 because they can tie the story into RE1 more.
The original RE Remake was weird because Rebecca never mentioned anything about what happened in Zero and it felt so disjointed because Zero was developed during the Remake and they clearly didn't share any notes with one another.
Following a recent interview with Sony, Naughty Dog head Neil Druckmann claims the original intent was “unfortunately lost” in the process.
Glad he clarified it but i'm still somewhat skeptical. Plus, his comments about how Ai will revolutionize storytelling were still pretty iffy.
Microsoft's E3's have been getting progressively better in recent years - they've just been missing the clout of interesting new exclusives. Phil definitely seems to have his ear to the ground on that one, so here's hoping he's got something up his sleeve.
Just gimme Fable and we're good.
same story every year
No offensive but every yr we get the same PR and no results it frustrates me as a gamer.
Phil Spencer is a troll.. He's been telling/hinting at stuff for YEARS! Empty promises that give some people hope.. Yet not a damn thing ever comes of it.. Im done with those jokers until i see compelling titles i cant play anywhere else.. I believe MS will have a flashy show at E3.. However, when you trim the fat, we'll be lucky to have even 2 games worth preordering. I dont believe anything that PR mouthpiece spews out..
