If Microsoft ever decides to make a action adventure game that falls in the line of Dark Souls, I want it to be Ninja Gaiden series.

That game series was so dope back in OG Xbox era. It was also hard hell.


Simple buy the Otogi IP from Sega and let From Software Reboot it for XB1.



Microsoft could buy a lot of IPs from Sega.
Sammy Sega haven't been using a quarter of their IPs and they're just devaluating as gens pass and gamers become unfamiliar with them.

Virtua Fighter, Phantasy Star (has a following base on Xbox), Otogi and Shenmue would do wonders to Xbox One.

Agreed, Streets of Rage would be great for Xbox too. Though Virtua Fighter isn't quite dead, rumor has it that Virtua Fighter 6 is in development right now, planned for Arcade, PS4, and Xbox One. 

A revival of Beat Them Ups? I would put Hideki and PG on the helm of that.

Virtua Fighter deserves more limelight that Sega has given it. People think KI is hard, I wonder if they ever tried VF5 and use or fight Akira Yuki.



I'm watching a Project Spark release stream and the streamer is playing Champions Quest.
So far it looks like I will get my 3D action adventure/platformer thirst quenched by Project Spark.
I like what I see so far.

Well done Team Dakota *back pats them*

I just realized that even warlock was a remake from a halo 1 map. So every map they did has been remade before wtf? Assension, warlock, lockout, and sanctuary can easily be remade in forge. I don't understand, I mean they designed amazing looking remakes but they chose all the wrong maps. I don't agree with 1 of there choices.
With that said I'm still excited to play on these maps. Seeing how good certain affinity is makes me wish they just remade all the maps from (there's like 25 maps)halo 2, and left out the multiplayer from the other games.

Oh and I guess ign can upload vids in 60fps because that looked different then all the YouTube vids. Looks freaking amazing.



Halo MCC will sell 5+ million copies(including digital)

halo 5 will sell 10 million copies(including digital)

x1 will pass ps4 in USA, and UK.

Yeah, Virtua Fighter started the 3D fighting genre, it's sad that so many other 3D fighters have surpassed it in sales since then, mainly because of Sega's slow release schedule. It's a truly great fighting series, one of my 3 favorite alongside Dead or Alive and Naruto Ultimate Ninja.

In the hands of a passionate Creative Director like Ken Lobb, it will flourish.

look at Killer Instinct.

Otogi would make more sense (and realistic) considering that both Otogi 1 & 2 were exclusive for the OG Xbox and both were made by a third party developer From Software. Since Sega has no plans for the IP MS can buy it and Reboot it, I mean Phil Spencer said that he wants to bring back more OG Xbox games.



At 6 weeks to release halo cea had 204k pre orders.
At 6 weeks to release halo mcc has 70k preorders.

This just doesn't seam right to me. In another week it will be triple mcc and in 2-3 weeks cea will have 4x the pre-orders.

Ugh.....

I love Forza to death, but a paid car pack a week after launch (less if you're in Europe) is just annoying. No reason for those cars not too have been included in the game at launch

This is true but otherwise I think there are games nowadays which need income from DLC to be even profitable or don't be too much in the red and Forza could be such a franchise. If you release the first DLC for such a game when half of the players stopped already playing the game you won't sell many DLC so that they release it so early.

It's not very nice for the gamers but I can understand it from a financial perspective. As long as it's only a few cars which won't be faster as those already available I think it's ok. If those cars are better for the leaderboards or if it would be already a whole new area as DLC I think it would be much worse.
