How many games have they really cancelled? Fable Legends (which sucked based on the beta), Scalebound, and technically Phantom Dust, but the port happening should have been the original plan.

They've delivered a lot but as well but people forget.

Sadly the Phantom Dust port is basically the original Xbox game at 1080P with Microtransactions and DLC. They don't have the source code anymore to even remaster it properly. It's a 2003 game running at a higher resolution. It's going to look extremely ugly and feel very dated, it had better not be a full priced release.

Personally I say buy the original Xbox game and emulate it on the Xbox 360.

The proper Phantom Dust sequel hasn't been cancelled though, apparantly they are still looking for a developer.

Microsoft needs to learn that givng their IP's to third party is not always a great thing. They would be wiser to create a Retro Studios/ Sony Santamonica, which is good at making every style of game so they can resurface old IP with better quality control. The fact that I can detail how they can fix this shows just how much Microsoft is lacking in the development and creativity department. They can scare off bungie by not wanting them to create a new IP and can make a dedicated studio to Halo, but not one for resufacing known IP? Thats ridiculous. They need to treat Microsoft studios like a real studio and not just a publshing house.
