Topic: The everything Xbox thread

@BlueOcean A new and actually good next gen Perfect Dark game, then. (I mean, the Xbox 360 game was okayish, but not nearly as good as the original)

Game Pass twitter is teasing Yakuza Kiwami 2, I'd guess it's releasing in a few days.

Thanks for answering, I didn't want Animal Crossing clones to be the only answer 😅. So @NEStalgia @DarkRula @BruceCM @DarthNocturnal What would your choice be? It can't be an already confirmed game.

Huh? A new game revealed .... Star Ocean Second Evolution R, shadow dropped on Switch, then

@BruceCM It has to be revealed on the 23rd in Microsoft's games show...

Oh, well, @BlueOcean .... Final Fantasy XVI?

@BruceCM Too soon for that one!

Eh, there's a limit to my imagination .... Star Ocean 1st Departure R & Second Evolution R for XB1 & PC, alongside 2nd E Switching, then

@BlueOcean i hope, if they do release a banjo game that it's better than nuts and bolts, nuts and bolts was'nt a very good game.

Midtown Madness is a Microsoft IP still, right? It fits with something that could be revealed on the 23rd. If not that, a game that puts you in control of a university media student who wants to create the greatest student film imaginable, so you help people around you in quests to recruit them to the team for that task. Think Yakuza but not as brutal.

Anyway, Watch Dogs Legion & Valhalla look great .... Slightly bad timing, with the latter coming just before Cyberpunk but I'll go back to it after that

what is xbox arcade live, is it recent arcade release's available over xbox?

@BlueOcean hmm, first party/exclusive only or multiplat "world premiere" stuff m

@BlueOcean A new, proper Silent Hill game.

But I'd take Banjo-Kazooie 3 as well. I'm somewhat surprised Microsoft hasn't bothered with the license, considering the clout it has with gamers of a certain age.

I'm sadly deeply unsurprised at this point tbh. Banjo's last game didn't do well, half the Rare people left and the rest went on to Kinect right afterwards, and quite frankly Xbox gave up on consistently putting out games for anyone other than the most stereotypical Xbox fan. Like the 2010s was really underwhelming for them in hindsight.

Valhalla looks excellent. People have been too harsh with this game. The gameplay is a huge improvement over Origins(haven't played Odyssey). Legion on the other hand looks kinda dumb, I know the series isn't taking itself seriously anymore, But I feel like it doesn't know what it wants to be.

Well, you don't have the settlement in Odyssey & you don't get to lead an army there, either, @MsJubilee .... So, the individual bits are similar but there's quite a bit added I haven't played Origins to compare that to Odyssey, though! I recently finished Watch Dogs 2, so perhaps that helps with hype for Legion

Very bad timing. Especially given that they're probably similar audiences. I seriously doubt anyone will prefer Valhalla out of the 2.

Yakuza Kiwami 2 has a July 30th release date.

How long do games tend to stay on Game Pass?
