there is a reason those game didnt get a sequel they just didnt sell well. For 10 years people were shouting about Last guardian, look how many people bought it. and there are tons of games on PS3 which I found good but didnt appeal to mass audience, does that mean it should come back No, I dont want developers to shutdown, just because vocal minority wants it.. Best example is Untill Dawn, Horizon Zero Dawn make a new frachise which appeals to the mass audience, Invest in New IP which has the potential to be the next big franchise, Like Sunset Overdrive they just gave up on it coz it didnt sell well enough to warrant a sequel. The Problem is XBox gamers have been conditioned shooters since 360 gen, and when a really good game came along they just didnt buy it, and now if remaking/sequel to a game which didnt sell well in the first entry leads to negative PR on the new game, thats why we will never see another Folklore, star hawk, socom, and dare I say Lair, But time to time sony does take those chances like knack, gravity rush, the last guardian, coz they have confidence in their install base that they can focus on delivering diverse line up. so buying a playstation system a gamer can expect diverse first party line up and not just shooter because those seeds were sowed in PS3 era. MS needs to do the same pump out different unique IP so people start looking at xbox as more than just a shooter machine. But all these things really doesnt matter now as all the games are on PC why will someone look into buying an xbox or a scorpio when they can be played in better fidelity on PC |
The world is a different place then it was 10 years ago. Nier bombed in 2010, yet its sequel has sold 1 million in just a few weeks. If a game is good, it will be noticed and sell. Thanks to word of mouth, social media and youtube influencers a game like Lost Odyssey 2 would be a hit today especially with a PC port.
The games I proposed are so old from a different era that you can count them as basically a new IP if they came back. You think a Conker 2 hurts creativity in this day and age? This is the only criticism I dont get, you act as if we're drowning in Conker or Banjo likes. We're not drowning in them and they would be welcome additions to the Xbox library, it would be a breath of fresh air to have Xbox only 3D platformers and RPGs, and a shooter thats not Halo.
A Halo RPG would be great, the material and lore is made for it, it could be Microsofts Mass Effect/Horizon. A survival horror Gears spinoff, the concept is so different then what we get, it could be their Resident Evil/Silent Hill, why are u against it?
I mean what difference does it make if they named it something else, you're still getting new original games with concepts you never got.
