"You can tear up the virtual skies in Crimson Skies with the band if you are lucky enough to get your invite accepted. Xbox gives out their gamertag and its up to you, to get a friend invite sent to them, and if your high enough on the list *not everyone gets the chance* then you can play a round of one of your favorite games with the featured celebrity."

Microsoft has added touch control support for several Xbox Game Pass titles for Android and iOS including The Medium and Blinx: The Time Sweeper.
Welcome to Lazy Writing, a place where Player 2's writers can fill in a quiet day while being as lazy as possible. After all, what is lazier than a "top 5" article? This issue looks at five sequels we want but probably don't deserve.
I would give my front teeth for some more Binary Domain but you are right... we don't deserve it :-p
The lack of exclusives also pushed gamers to the PlayStation 4 and recently the Nintendo Switch thanks to titles such as God of War and Super Mario Odyssey. Microsoft does have a lot of incredible IPs they can revive to boost the Xbox One's exclusive library. Here are the top 5 franchises Microsoft should revive.
Not even Yookah-Laylee was as good as the first two Banjo-Kazooie games. I doubt current Rare can do a better job than Playtonic at that type of game.
Never played yookah laylee and only recently played the banjo games on rare replay. I wasnt much into the n64 at the time. I am quite surprised there had not been a new crimson skies, especially when the boom of online multiplayer really took off. it seemed like a perfect fit.
I'd say a few others (that are not MS specific) that should be considered for return would be stubbs the zombie, bloodwake, quantum redshift and somebody already mentioned PGR so i would add rally sport challenge.
How many of these articles have appeared this gen. How many times have I had to call for a crimson skies.
I would love to see a new Otogi and Sudeki game. :)
A new next gen Jet Force Gemini made by RARE would be FANTASTIC!
Perfect Dark, Crimson Skies, Brute Force. I'm sure a modern take on each of those games would be successful.
The fact that Perfect Dark has been dormant for so long absolutely boggles my mind. That should have been top priority from MS at the start of this gen.

"I doubt current Rare can do a better job than Playtonic at that type of game."
The "current" RARE, employes more than 400 professionals and they´re currently working on a new IP. I´m 100% positive that this new game will score better than Yookah-Laylee´s 67 score on Meta.
@ Obscure
How can you say that when Yookah-Laylee was still received better critically than Sea of Thieves?
The amount of workers doesn’t translate to quality

Besides that are you really still putting faith in a company that spends nearly five years in making a game that receives such a divisively low score?
Blinx the Cat could make a return. Also, I would like to see Project Gotham Racing or at least its style infused into Forza.
Well the team that did PGR is now a part of Playground games so there could be a possibility of them using some of those features of old but made new again.
Blinx had a neat idea for that time that no longer is but the game was average then and not aged all that well.
Very true but a sequel/reboot may be able to make a unique first party Xbox game which MS is sorely lacking.
Perfect Dark 3rd person adventure would be pretty sweet.
On the other side of the pond, can Sony please revive Heavenly Sword?!
I miss my redheads okay?!
I dont know why there wasnt a sequel to HS but now I'm not sure sony still owns it or if they ever did. I know they published it. Maybe part of the deal with NT was they get to retain all their developed IP's and as such then perhaps MS may greenlight a sequel after all this time.
Yeah Sony historically own their second party IP. They love to make deals like that. A big reason sunset overdrive was a Microsoft game, was because Sony demanded the IP ownership. Microsoft didn’t
Same with order1866 and ready at dawn
Sony owns it and the game BOMBED financially really badly, being a PS3 exclusive in an era that PS3 was getting alot of hate due to their awful PS3 launch (ironically mirrored by MS's Xbone One launch) made it impossible to be a success.
@Switch4One
"Perfect Dark 3rd person adventure would be pretty sweet."
No doubt! I would also love to see them take a darker tone and a more adult oriented approach like Cyberpunk 2077.
Wizards & Warriors.
Jet Force Gemini
Phantom Dust
Scalebound
Blue Dragon
Lost Odyssey
Those are the series I want most from MS.
