MS should at least check out what Itagaki team has in the works. Possibly have their publishing side handle it.

Yep, I wouldn't mind a BR mode in Halo Infinite. I think it makes a lot of sense to have one tbh, BR games are really popular if not the most popular games out there the past few years. Not putting one in just to appear to not be following trends is a pretty dumb reason to not have one IMO. 

Seems as though using the Gamepass app to install games that are already installed on your series x works for the monthly quest netting an easy 100 points in 2 minutes.

Thought I'd share it with you guys. It isn't my "home" system though and is the 3rd xbox on the app if that makes a difference... I think it may.

Anyway... Haven't been around much. How are things?

I'd take a rebooted ninja gaiden for sure. I used to really love fighters back in the day. These days, I guess I'm too old and slow.

Idk, I feel like MS doesn't see fightings games as that important of a genre for them to fill themselves??? At least that's the vibe I get considering how well KI reboot did on Xbox One. 

After playing Hellblade, I would not put it in the same category as something like Ninja Gaiden, God of War or Devil May Cry.  MS need something along those lines which has a much faster pace and control.  Itagaki can give MS that type of game I believe.

Agreed.


Fucking Scalebound...

While different, it would have at least partially covered that gap.

Yeah, I wish they would have gutted out that MP part and just gone with a good SP game.  I hope today that Phil believe that was a bad move and with hindsight never put that much importance on MP over a good SP action type game that Scalebound was looking to be.

I don't think it was a bad move unfortunately. If I remember right, someone at platinum games was found using the money for another project.

They can't let that shit fly unfortunately and were backed into a corner. Had to cut the cord.

So I was listening to the entire Xbox Two podcast and at the end when they are taking questions Jez said that he agrees that Wolfenstein 3 will be announced this year but doesn’t feel or think that it will be a 2021 title, so if he feels this way then that means that one of the two AAA titles that he said MS has yet to announce for 2021 isn’t Wolfenstein 3.

I still personally believe that Wolf 3 is 2021 and Starfield is 2022, so it’s possible that MS could have 3 AAA games left for 2021 with Forza Horizon 5, Wolf 3 and a third game.

After seeing DoA and the Tekken story mode... why not all three? A fast paced fighting RPG game with unarmed combat and fighting game mechanics in a normal world (you could call it a beat'em up but I feel this is too simplistic).
