"We have compiled a list of long-defunct Activision games that deserve another shot in the modern era." - IS
It's cheap, it's super colourful and it promises to add a little bit of magic to the Xbox Store. Yep, Farlands Journey is now available.
"Publisher 505 Games and developer ArtPlay, Inc. today release a new update (v1.5) on PC, Xbox and PlayStation including two free game modes and a free Shantae cosmetic pack, plus three premium DLC cosmetic packs to their gothic smash "Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night"." - 505 Games and ArtPlay, Inc.
Whether it be the robberies, the assaults or the good old gangster hijinks, you'll want to get ready for action with Crime Simulator.
Gun is the number one game I'd love to see make a return. They should do a remake of the original and then give us a sequel. But given the "controversy" regarding the Indians in the first game, they'd probably change a lot of stuff.
True Crime - have another GTA esque style game since Saints Row is no more.
Team up with Nintendo and do a Marvel Ultimate Alliance remaster. Then follow up with a proper sequel.
Get Fromsoft and do a Tenchu remake collection.
Prototype Reboot.
Blur but don't let it be Microtransactions gaas game but a proper sequel.
Bringing back the IP's is one thing but keeping the talent that makes them there is another. Just ask Gears/Epic Halo/Bungie Goldeneye/Rare. Just look at the all-time best Xbox IP's and ask yourself.... what happened?
1) Nightmare Creatures - og Souls game reboot with From at the helm.
2) Sekiro 2 sequel - don't care what it take$ Uncle Phil make it happen
3) Gun - competition to RDR
4) Singularity - personal fav
5) Prototype 3
6) True Crime - competition to GTA6
Bonus: do some offbeat stuff too like reboot Pitfall. Indiana Jones ain't the franchise it used to be. Turn Zork into a Myst style game. Take a hard look at classic IPs and morph them into something consumable for today's audience
So far anyway, Phil Spencer, but who knows about his team, is smart enough to recognize making a game just because fans demand it isn't good enough and not a smart idea. You have to have a group of devs that actually want to make the game, that's actually fans of the game because if they're just making it to make it it's gonna suck. If they're driven to make the best game they can and they know where that game is coming from because it's what they liked to play once upon a time ago, then you know you're getting a better game but if they don't care, why bother
