Topic: The everything Xbox thread

@shingi_70
Saw the KI trailer last night, I always keep loving them!, also a new minion joins the fight!

So... Microsoft is releasing a game on PS4...

Majong had the deal with them before Microsoft bought them, so they have to follow through with it. For what it matters, Microsoft put games games out for DS. Sony puts games out on PC. Nintendo put that Pokemon game on iPad. It doesn't happen that often, but it does happen.

I know, just as a Nintendo fan and with lots of people saying Nintendo should go 3rd party, this brings a smile to my face lol

Eh the deal doesn't actually go through till 2015 so they aren't.

Also Halo could of been on the DS!

That is common knowledge.

"Slowpoke"....just thought it was neat

Do you mean Microsoft actually owning them, or releasing a PS4 game? They are releasing the PS4 disc version in October.

I'm talking about MS buying Majong seeing as Minecraft is already on the PS4 (just not physically).

Well Satya Nadella said the minecraft deal is less about xbox, and more about devices and services so expect other Mojang games on other systems.

I just want to see Scrolls ported to console.

Windows 10 is a thing coming next year and will bring the whole unfied apps and software between windows and Xbox.

So, Forza Horizon 2 is pretty damn awesome. Anybody more into arcade racers should check this out. The open-world aspect of it is really well done also. Lots of stuff to do between all the different races, challenges and bucket lists.

Project Spark has its offical release today and can be bought for $40 or you can buy the single player story mode called champions Quest for $25 which looks and plays like a simplified guanlet game in 3D. I'll probably pick up the Voidquest stuff to have a easy RPG like game to play next year.

For anyone interested, today Imagine-Nation (a show dedicated to the newest news in Japanese pop culture) covered the recent release of D4: Dark Dreams Don't Die, and I've written down the main points of the episode in the Japan Discussion.

funny enough i'm playing D4 right now.

So far its been a pretty good year for Microsoft Studios in the first year of the xbox one system.

So far we've had

2013
Dead Rising 3
Forza Motorsport 5
Killer Instinct season 1
Ryse: Son of Rome
Zoo Tycoon
Killer Instinct Classic
Crimson Dragon
Lococycle
Halo Spartan Assault
Max and the cursed Brotherhood
Poweerstar Golf
Xbox Fitness

2014
Titanfall
Kinect Sports Rivals
Killer Instinct Season 2
Project Spark
Halo: The Master Chief Collection
Sunset Overdrive
Fable Legends Beta
D4
Killer Instinct 2 Classic
Minecraft
Super Time Force
Ori and the Blind Forest
Project Totem
Happy Wars

Plus most of their games have had really good DLC support if that type of post game content is your deal and like Nintendo's take on DLC most of it tends to be meaty.

Plus next year there's
Halo 5
Crackdown
Scalebound
Quantum Break
Screamride
Phantom Dust
State of Decay: Year-One Surivial Edition
Below

I should state first that I appreciate Microsoft's recent attempts to focus on games that aren't Gears or whatever.

...but they ****ed over Swery from what it sounds like. Just did nothing to promote his game, like the Wonderful 101 situation X10 it sounds like.

All I really want right now is Halo Collection.

Yeah I'll be grabbing Sunset Overdrive this month, and Halo next month. Will start to fill out the first party games I want to play that I haven't starting next year with Ryse and Zoo Tycoon. (you know barring a sale)

Killer Insticnt season 2 should be out soon so i'm hoping season 1 goes on sale.

The Inner Circle podcast had a special episode where they interview Phil Spencer

Some of the stuff said.

-Windows 10 is coming to Xbox One alongside DirectX12
-Screenshots and Custom Themes and backgrounds are coming in one of the future
-They're looking to get rid of Indie Parity.
-Mech Assault and High Heat Baseball are not on the list of old IP being revived,
-Rare told Rare to make a Rare style game, he's going to view it in November. (some others are going this month to view what all the Europe studios are doing).
-2015 is looking really good, but they're giving developers time and haven't announced everything.

So far for next year we have announced

Halo 5: Guardians

Quantum Break

Fable Legends

Screamride

Rise of the Tomb Raider

State of Decay: Year One Surivial Edition

Phantom Dust

I didn't put Crackdown or Scalebound because one or both of them are 2016. Along with those we should be seeing a few other things,.

-Twisted Pixel's next game should be ready going by their time table
-Killer Instinct season 3
-Press Play's next game should be out next year as well since totem is a side project.
-We should finally see Lift London's projects, I know one of them is apart of Press Play's new game.
-My guess is Turn 10 doesn't put out a new Forza next year but we should see big Expansions to Motorsport 5 and Horizon 2 a la the Mario Kart expansions.
-Lionhead's new IP will be 2016 but revealed next year. My guess is they're going to bulk up to three teams. The Legends group, The new IP (A Sci-fi RPG to counter the GG project), and a proper Fable IV.
-Rare is working on a NEW IP and an Old IP.
-Games from the newly announced studios and second party paries, plus Old IP being brought back like KI and Phantom dust.
