So I take it this is the replacement for the originally promised new Phantom Dust? If so, scratch another 2014 E3 promise off the list.

At least it's free but this takes their "high profile" exclusives this year down from 4 (Halo Wars 2, Forza, Crackdown, and Phantom Dust) down to 3. And one of them is still just a pinkie promise with no release date and limited actual game footage.

I think the sad thing about the reboot is that after watching the vid, this game NEEDED a reboot.  It has not aged well.  The animations aren't very good and the gameplay just looks really slow.  Some of the environments look dull, too.

It kinda reminds me of the PS2 on PS4 games.  Only MS is probably going to be pushing this more than Sony pushes those, because they don't have much else in the way of exclusives and because it now has the added "improvement" of pay to win microtransactions.

Indeed.  Everyone is so focused on evaluating the Switch's position but imo it's Xbox that is on unstable ground, imo.
