I played about half of the hive busters expansion and it's great and oh so beautiful. Had to play solo but it seems like it would be really great in co-op. I'll have to try it later in co-op with the kids when they're not in punishment (their mom took their games and told me not to let them play with me on mines lol)

Microsoft announced the first DLC for Age of Empires II DE.

Didn't expect that but the value seems to be huge. $10 for two civilizations and three campaigns.



Give him all the budget he needs, a big name like him is a great move into the market.



Sci fi JRPG from Mikami sounds great ngl.



If you're in the preview program you can play the Outriders beta by installing it through the insider app. Its Series X optimized.

Do any of you remember the concept art for a bunch of weird characters that showed up a few years back? It featured a girl with the same hair as Zero Joanna, but with a pink zip up jacket and black jeans with combat boots. That one looked amazing. 

OTOH, maybe MS could snap Remedy up and make Jesse into Joanna's cousin. 

I remember the exact thing you are talking about. I was a lineup of concept characters in different aesthetics that MS released. There were several on that lineup that I liked, wish I could find that concept art now.

Also, I would love it if MS acquired Remedy.

I think you're talking about the Forza Street characters

Yup. So that's what ended up happening?

I'm thinking of something else entirely I guess. The thing I was remembering was a lineup of 5 or 6 concept characters, each with different clothing aesthetics, some male, some female. MS released in in a monthly feedback survey as I recall, like 3 or 4 years ago, asking people which of the 5 characters was their favorite. Lead to many speculating at the time that MS might choose the winner as the protagonist in an upcoming game, but none of them actually showed up in a game afaik. Maybe those 2 above were in that line-up, but I don't think they were. Could be wrong though. The girl with the pink jacket and blonde hair does look kind of familiar, maybe she was in that line-up. I'd have to find the original line-up picture to be sure though, and I tried in vain to find it last night. 

I remember that survey and i'm pretty sure they turned out to be Forza Street characters.

Wish I could find the original picture they released in that survey. I remember we discussed it quite heavily here in VGC at the time, as I recall most of us in the thread at the time liked a thin blonde girl with boots and tight pants the most out of the 5 or 6 characters. Do we have a full body pic of that Forza Street character with the blonde hair? Could be the same girl that we liked the most possibly.
