I do threads but if there is an opportunity for it I will make them.

Star Wars for me. The game looked awesome although I probably won't buy it this year, since I'm only planning to buy Tomb Raider and Halo 5.

I really like backward compatibility implementation, no idea why people have to downplay it so much. People clearly wanted it, that's what Xbox uservoice shows and to act as if all these Xbox fans asking for it asked for something they don't really want is just laughable.

^^' Lately been playing a lot of Euro truck simulator 2. I really love it.

You should come to Germany, truck simulator, farming simulator and everything else where "simulator" is in the name will sell better than games like Halo or Uncharted^^

Well it deserves to do good :).  It is really a well done game.  Small stuff like real Europe radios and views that you remember in real life add so much to the atmosphere.

No idea who I had the discussion with about Shenmue and if it would be successful on Kickstarter but I have to say that I really don't think so if Sony wouldn't be involved and if there wouldn't be the huge boost it got because it was on the E3 stage. If it would have the same preconditions all the other Kickstarter games have it would probably fail. It would get some money and probably more than many other Kickstarter games but probably not enough for this game.

So yeah, good that Sony (too bad not MS) made this decision, I find it odd that Sony doesn't pay for it as a whole (probably to look like the good guy helping devs instead of the "they pay to get games" dev) but without them I don't see how we would get a Shenmue 3 anytime soon.

It got already some million but who knows how much it would need without Sony and I doubt that it would be close to where it is now without it on the E3 stage and that #SaveShenmue hashtag.

Well, not sure if already posted here (probably but I wasn't here the days around E3) but:

The Phantom Dust remake announced at E3 2014 is no longer in active development.

This should come as little surprise as publisher Microsoft parted ways with Phantom Dust developer Darkside Game Studios back in February.

At the time, Microsoft said, "we can confirm that development of the title continues," despite its developer being let go. Some postulated that a new developer would be brought on to finish the job.

But when asked about the project in an interview with Gamer Tag Radio at E3, Xbox marketing lead Aaron Greenberg said "we don't have an active developer on it right now."

"It's been a passion project for [Xbox boss] Phil [Spencer] and a lot of the folks on the team," Greenburg stated. "And we're currently exploring what we're gonna do longer term with Phantom Dust. The project is not cancelled but we don't have an active developer on it right now. It's a project that, like many things, will take a little more time. But at this point we're not giving any more updates on it."

While this doesn't mean the game will never be made, it sounds like it's on an indefinite hiatus.

Stop making me watch this, I can't wait to play it! lol

Microsoft saw what Sony did with the Last Guardian and thought that if they delay Phantom Dust for 10 years and re-reveal it in E3 2025 everyone will say that they won E3. It's all part of the plan!!
