OH SHIT BOI KILLER INSTINCT 3

[sixteen-bit]

Phantom Dust has gotta be one of them, right?

[Elginer]

I WANT MY PERFECT DARK 2!

Give this man a cigar and you have my axe. Give me some damn Perfect Dark already damnit!

[GavinGT]

Give this man a cigar and you have my axe. Give me some damn Perfect Dark already damnit!

Because 2005 Rare already couldn't handle making a Perfect Dark, let's just see how the Rare of today does.

Yeah, that sounds like something Microsoft would get behind.

[plagiarize]

Halo, Fable are givens. Gears seems likely given that we've had all these rumours about something else existing in that IP even if they haven't come to fruition yet.

can i hope for a proper Alan Wake 2 reveal now that American Nightmare came out? it would be a logical time to confirm the existance of the game if it is indeed in development as we all think it is... unless that rumour about it being for the next Xbox is also true.

[xion4360]

the "Biggest" are Forza, Fable, Halo and Gears. It has to be related to those.

[PSFan]

A real Alan Wake 2 would be nice.

[S1kkZ]

rare changed a bit in the last months (if the rumors are true). they hired some of the ex-bizarre and codemasters guys.

[REMEMBER CITADEL]

Other than those 4 i honestly dont know lol I mean they only release sequels for those games so.... EDIT: oh and Kinect games :D the ones that arent on other platforms i mean

Even if you're clueless, googling is not that hard.

[Wolfie5]

Halo 4
Halo 5
Halo 6
Gears of War 4

[steverulez]

Because Activision owns PGR.

No they don't, MS do

[Beer Monkey]

Man, I loved Links Golf 2004 on the OG Xbox.

[Anarkin]

Halo 4
Age Of Empires 4 with kinect
Crackdown 3
Perfect Dark 2

[Jadedx]

4 franchises return

Why would it be Halo, Fable, Gears, Crackdown or Forza? Those games have not gone anywhere. We know MechAssault is one them because of the Day 1 teaser. My guess for the other 3 are probably Crimson Skies, and 2 ips from rare. I don't think PGR5 will be shown till 2013.





Funny thing, when I was typing MechAssault I spaced it out and IE10 told me it was misspelled then I spelled it with a capital M and a lowercase a and it autocorrected to MechAssault.

[Supermanisdead]

guys it didnt say 4 games, just 4 franchises. this is a crossover fighting game u__u

[CitizenCope]

Man, I loved Links Golf 2004 on the OG Xbox.

=O
Still my favorite golf game. Those phisycs!

[Pupi18]

Blinx The Time Sweeper
Grabbed by Ghoulies
Vodoo Vince
Chase: Hollywood Stunt Driver

Yep definitely those 4

Maybe even Fuuuuuusioooooon Frenzyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

[Yoshi]

If it's Banjo, Conker, Kameo or Blast Corps (yeah not really big), I'd not only be there day one, but I'd be very, very thankfull, too. Would be around the right time, too, because without Rare's franchises, I'm absolutely not sure if I'll buy another Xbox when itt launches.

[Xater]

So I guess GDC will be the time when MS reveals a little bit of those games and then we get gameplay blowout at E3? Sounds about right to me.

[upJTboogie]

I can't think of any past exclusives that would be really exciting when they come back. I guess a Banjo game would be cool, if it had emphasis on platforming.

[LowEndTorque]

It's gotta be a typo

That teaser turned out to be an unrelated F2P mech PC game.

[kanugo]

The time has come: Brute Force 2!

[BUCKFUSH187]

"Biggest franchises"
=
Halo4
Gears of War (Epic has to be working on something)
Mech assualt
last but not least the most obvious, "Flight simulator"

[herzogzwei1989]

RALLISPORT NEEDS TO RETURN

Agreed!

[Xater]

Crimson Skies and Battletech are not owned by Microsoft. The teaser was for Mechwarrior Online by Piranha Games. Also Rare franchises are not exactly big these days except if they are for Kinect.

[Wanchan]

VIVA PIÑATA KINECT !

[lunchwithyuzo]

This is MGS, do you think they care? Did you really think Blinx even had a shot at a resurrection? The Mistwalker games have a better shot, lol.

No hope. I don't think the MW RPGs have much hope either tbh, MGS doesn't seem to give a shit about Japan anymore. :(

[higherARC05]

Phantom Dust has gotta be one of them, right?

I remember that game!

Gosh I'm going to go back the rebuy all the XBOX OG games I don't have so I can experience them once again in full glory.

[Jadedx]

That teaser turned out to be an unrelated F2P mech PC game.

What? aww fuck :(


Well, lets hope of the 10 new studios MS has created/acquired in the last 3 years makes Mech Assault 3.

[Barrel Cannon]

This thread makes me said by being reminded about so many great franchises exclusive to the OG box that are all gone now.

Phantom Dust
Jade Empire
Mech Assault
Crimson Skies
Unreal Championship
Advent Rising

We already know Halo 4 is one of them. Fable is likely the second. Everything else is a big question mark unless they are including the PC exclusive new mech warrior F2P title

[elcranky]

Xbox 360 Exclusives, bolded some of which I think they are "big":

People need to quit making fun of Too Human. It is the best game in that entire list you provided!

[SlickShoesRUCrazy]

ya...I will believe it when i see it....

will probably be halo, gears, forza, and fable lol....so lame if that's what it is....

[firehawk12]

Age of Empires
Close Combat
Flight Simulator
Freelancer 2.

[Rat Salad]

4th franchise is obviously Blasto. err ...no wait.
Thats Sony's hidden gem Prob Vita bound. heh.

[Xater]

What? aww fuck :( Well, lets hope of the 10 new studios MS has created/acquired in the last 3 years makes Mech Assault 3.

Again, they can't make MechAssault. They don't own the BattleTech IP.

[TemplaerDude]

People need to quit making fun of Too Human. It is the best game in that entire list you provided!

Look, I like Too Human, but don't be silly.

[sleepykyo]

ya...I will believe it when i see it.... will probably be halo, gears, forza, and fable lol....so lame if that's what it is....

Why? Those are the four biggest franchises.

[upJTboogie]

Why? Those are the four biggest franchises.

Well, it says a return but those are all franchises we've seen a lot this gen, a lot.

[HocusPocus]

Please be Crimson Skies.

Sales wise they have Halo, Gears, Dance Central, Kinect Sports I suppose. Those blow away any top four for the PS3 sales wise in comparison. Wouldn't be as good as Nintendo though. That's kind of expected, it's Nintendo.

[Combichristoffersen]

No hope. I don't think the MW RPGs have much hope either tbh, MGS doesn't seem to give a shit about Japan anymore. :(

Japan doesn't give a shit about MGS either, so you can't really blame MGS here.

[Xater]

Well, it says a return but those are all franchises we've seen a lot this gen, a lot.

well they can still return. Since when is there a time frame when something returns? I can go away for a minute and still return.

[feli]

Conker 2, PGR5, Crackdown 3, Fable 4.

Impossible.

[Deadly Cyclone]

I can't see it being Gears, didn't Epic say they were not working on another Gears game yet? No way Gears 4 is this year, no way Gears 4 is until the next Xbox.

[Satchel]

I can't think of any past exclusives that would be really exciting when they come back. I guess a Banjo game would be cool, if it had emphasis on platforming.

Really?

You font think there'd be at least a small handful of people excited for the possibility of:

Perfect Dark?
Killer instinct?
Crimson Skies?
MechAssault?
Project Gotham?
Viva Piñata?
Amped?

Mind you Microsoft is sitting on a whole heap of other IPs they haven't touched in years. Rallisport, Blinx, Azurik, Brute Force, Conker, fusion frenzy, phantom dust plus a few others.

Will any of these be resurrected? Probably not. But that doesn't mean the possible return of some of these wouldn't get some people excited. You're covering a decent amount of genres there and I think all of them could make good games if handled appropriately. IF being a key word here.

[PSFan]

I hope this doesn't end up being:
Halo 4
Kinect Sports Season 3
Dance Central 3
Fable 4

[Anarkin]

Crimson Skies and Battletech are not owned by Microsoft.

Are you sure?

Kakuto Chojin: Back Alley Brutal
Tao Feng: Fist of the Lotus


XD

[upJTboogie]

Stop it, when you have a headline like that, people are going to expect a franchise that's been away for a while, not one that was out a year ago, or some months ago.

[enzo_gt]

Obviously it's: Azurik: Rise of Perathia Kabuki Warriors Sudeki Nightcaster Because Activision owns PGR.

Since when?

Did Microsoft sell the PGR IP behind my back?
