Viva Piñata although I was 13 or 14 when I first played it Id still give a crack at the franchise again.

Also in regards to State of Decay: http://www.gamespot.com/articles/state-of-decay-dev-extends-partnership-with-microsoft/1100-6417066/

Honestly great news, State of Decay for me was at first tiresome, boring and repetitive. And after I took a break from it for 3-4 months it was refreshing, exhilarating and enjoyable a must buy.
Can't wait to see what Undead Labs has up their sleeves hope they provide a full fledged 60 dollar title.


Awesome, I really like this game and I'm looking forward to play more games from this studio.

Agreed with Kowen. We need another LO, it was the best JRPG this gen (IMO). I do agree with Shikamaru though, I don't think it needs a Direct sequel, more like a spiritual successor. It ended so well that I don't think they could make a sequel out of the characters in the original. Come on Mistwalker and come on MS, we need this!!!!!!!!!!

I've always wondered should we (those who find articles) make them a new topic, or does posting them here in the XBO Nation suffice? I've noticed a lack of new MS threads (about news, not stock, or "comparisons" etc). Just wondering.


Do both. Post in here and also post on the forums :)  It will reach more people that way

Noted :)

The only thing I noticed is that at one point when I believe Nsanity posted a lot of good One threads, they always got derailed on this site.

A lot of MSFT threads do get derailed but that is because most or a lot of the regulars on this site really hate MSFT. There is also a lot of lurkers that may love some of the information that you guys bring, and really you all are awesome with finding new stuff.  

I consider this thread just a way for you guys to relax.  YOu all can talk about anything in here even if it is about sony games or Nintendo games that you like, life in general, or really anything.  But def enjoy the rest of the site as well.  I dont post a lot of threads anymore but that doesnt have much to do with this thread, it has more to do with I have a few people who really dislike me on this site and makes my threads hell because im horrible at ignoring people at times,

Well this is off topic but I'm glad Fairy Tail (Anime) is coming back. Starts back up in April so I'll have two shows to watch come April (Fairy Tail and Game of Thrones).

I wish MS would just buy Mistwalker. From what I know didn't MS help fund the creation of Mistwalker?

I'd say there's a significant chance of some Mistwalker JRPG on the Xbox One, even if it's unrelated to Lost Odyssey:

 

  • Microsoft wants the Xbox One to sell in Japan. They know from last gen that the biggest sellers on the 360 in Japan were JRPG's, and Mistwalker's Blue Dragon is tied for the #1 spot with Star Ocean: The Last Hope with 210,000 copies sold each. 
  • Microsoft has very deep pockets, they could buy exclusivity agreements from most Japanese developers/publishers if they wanted to. 
  • Microsoft has already announced that they've signed several Japanese exclusives to the Xbox One which will be announced in 2014 (and presumably be launch titles when the Xbox One releases in Japan in late 2014). 
  • Mistwalker dislikes Sony and likely won't release on the PS4 or Vita for that reason. Mistwalker has already released games on iOS and Android, and it's my understand that they didn't do that well. 3DS is likely out too, Mistwalker released several games for the DS, none of which did very well. It's my understanding that PC gaming isn't that popular in Japan, so that's likely out too. That leaves the Wii U and Xbox One. Though Mistwalker has expressed interest in making an action-RPG for the Wii U in the past, that was before the Wii U's sales fell far below expectations, that may have turned them off the idea. Plus there's the fact that Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey on the 360 outsold The Last Story on the Wii, that's bound to make Xbox One look like the most attractive platform for Mistwalker to develop for.

 


Would be nice to see them expand in Japan.  They did with Xbox to X360.  Lets see if they can do it again

Noble and Ryu.

Just stop responding to that guy in that one thread. Do you really think it's going to end with him having changed his opinion?

Sorry to hear about that, I think you're a pretty leveledheaded poster, who finds awesome One news :)

I post outside this thread at times, but classes begin again and it's going to be less, so I figured I should try to confine myself to one community for the most part. Also, there are tons of other Sony and Nintendo forums out there on the webs. This is the only place I've found online where intelligent Xbox fans post without the constant trolling and immaturity.
