Phil Spencer: '2017 won't be Halo FPS/Gears led'

Isn't FPhantom Dust japanese? AutoBomba if so.
But Racer I want to be right.
No, I am right.
Guess where I am on the Kubler-Ross model btw
I disagree. With proper incentives, marketing and visibility it can be a hot item.
It doesn't make much sense why they would not put atleast some marketing into it, they took the time to bring it back. Nobody goes through that trouble just to sit on their hands. Its a complete waste of money and effort.

It's remaster of an old game, a game that didn't sell well to begin with. And the "remaster" work is really minimal when it comes to graphics https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A8_XXTe66_U

Playground Games have talked about forming a second AAA team to create action games. What are the chances Microsoft are funding that project?

I doubt they'll have any 3rd party timed exclusives. After Tomb Raider, I don't think that shit is viable anymore. Not for 3rd parties or for Microsoft. I think you'll definitely see marketing deals though. Don't be surprised if that Assassin's Creed reboot shows up on their stage with a shiny demo running on Scorpio.
And alas thats all it really is.
But to assume theres absolutely nothing new whatsoever coming up and its going to be just Sea of Thieves left on its own is pretty unfounded at this point
You're reaching. In your same link Phil says Rare Replay is a remake.
And the analogy of TLG to SotC is not a good one.
The marketing it would cost to make this a hot item is probably going to cost more than It took to develop the product. Not happening.
95%
And I really doubt they're gonna push phantom dust that much. Probably hope it delivers enough to spread by word of mouth.
That twitter conversation is missing tweets from the person he's replying to, its not a consecutive chain
But yeah that analogy was pretty shit, hands up for that one
He still says Rare Reply is a remake. Read it.
Also my initial response to your link is the valid one

That... That would be stupid. What else would you remaster but the graphics?
That would normally be true, but its on Xbox, is first party, and can be marketed directly to the userbase in question with no fluff necessary.
That would be an excellent role reversal, but didn't Halo 5 just come out? It seems a bit too early for that.
^ These two responses were written before i heard the below post
...what the fuck.
They aren't even flipping redoing any of the UI or upping the res or anything? Why not???
The reasoning doesnt even hold from what he says there, do you know if he's commented at all on changing his mind?
I dunno, its just that ive seen a bunch of "were still committed to Phantom Dust" stuff compared to Fable Legends and B.C. and the like
As opposed to all the other things that got unfortunately gunned down, they seem weirdly enamored with this one (like me!)

Duder Forza 6 came out in 2015.
you guys are vastly, vastly underestimating the appeal of these titles is all i'm trying to say
They are committed to it still because they are releasing an HD version.

Um.... Did I miss a big news beat? I thought Scorpio wasn't getting exclusives, same as the Pro? Why are so many people expressing disappointment about the lack of Halo "for" Scorpio? Surely any Halo that runs on Xbox One will also run on Scorpio, and vice versa? No doubt they'll patch Halo 5 and maybe even the MCC to run at 4k from day one of Scorpio, so why are people specifically upset about the lack of a new Halo for Scorpio, rather than the lack of a new Halo full stop?

Stop getting peoples hopes up about this. It's just the remaster he's talking about. He confirmed himself. That tweet is fcking nothing.

Yeah, they still have enough games announced to have a good 2017. It's 2018 that people should worry about in my opinion. From the looks of it, there won't be anymore 2014-2015 announcements to coast off of, so if they don't announce anything for 2018 this year at E3, then it's going to look pretty barren in the first half of that year.

Makes sense. Crackdown, Sea of Thieves, and Forza 7 will very likely be the lineup for 2017. Gears 4 just released and Halo 6 is likely due for 2018.
No exclusives, doesn't mean that there won't be showcase games to show off the extra power. Crackdown will be one of those.
It's a quick profitable title.
They are going to p2w model on that. Her comment in the video linked by Chobel about Arsenals being so u can jump online right away? Yeah. Expect a pricetag with that
Gaaah alright, I mean dont get me wrong, knowing how things are the chances of you being the correct party in this are astoundingly higher than mine.
Friggin' hell calm down? If any speculation of mine is incorrect so be it, but its videogames not speculation about the Holocaust.

That's what I thought initially, but he's most likely talking about Sea of Thieves, Crackdown, State of Decay, etc.
Woah chief.
That would be a shame if its treated that way

There are millions of whiny 5-year olds on Earth, and I AM THEIR KING.
The lack of AAA exclusives for Xbox is so bad that GAF makes threads about anything Phil will say. :/
Guys, there are tons of cool games on the X1, browse the store. A lot of stuff never gets mentioned here at all.

Look at what they have been doing and decide why else they are bringing this game back. It's perfect for microtransactions
I've heard rumblings that the new PD has moved to a new dev, but I don't know the veracity of the source, so take with a grain of salt.
Pretty much on point. Personally only looking forward to the "few surprises" and maybe Crackdown 3. They really need to nail their gameplay demo with that one at this E3.
