This merely being a port with the original assets being untouched has been known. As I said in another thread, quit calling it HD or HD version because I'm certain it's causing some of the confusion. I have no idea why some of ya'll don't stick to the facts available and instead create narratives of how this means something else setting yourself up for disappointment, eg. Backward compatibility, HD Resolution, etc... It's the same thing some people are doing with Scorpio by already setting expectations on things we have no idea about, and not sticking to what facts we have.

Good news.

Just keep those expectations in check fellow gaffers.

Its 480p...?

Well sites got it wrong too. I remember watching Shannon Loftis video last year when it was posted here and all the info was there.

Unless stated otherwise, it's a port but with updated network functionality.

 

[HStallion]

I can't wait. This is one of those all time great games that flew totally under the radar of most folks. It was so ahead of its time in a lot of ways and a joy to play especially against other players who had built some crazy decks. It felt like what a Hunter X Hunter game would play with some characters focusing on flying and long range and homing attacks or others who turned up their defense and used short range melee attacks. All the different crazy combinations like abilities that changed how the entire arena worked like switching the gravity and other things. Such a crazy fun and creative game.

As stated by theory above , sites are reporting it as a remaster or remake. This is where all the confusion will come from. and you know people will latch onto it, cause scalebound happened.

 

[El Sabroso]

Its 480p...?

😐

don't think so, since it is aiming for a Win 10 release

if are the same assets tho, it maybe be a treatment like how Rare did Grabbed by the ghoulies in RareReplay which is a port with same assets running at 1080p in Xbox One

 

[graywolf323]

I really hope this isn't only 480p, loved the game on Xbox but no strong desire to just replay it without any real graphic improvements

Not everything is Phil lol

good stuff is Phil, bad stuff is somehow someone else's fault

 

[Papacheeks]

I guess not. Interview with Loftis from E3. @2:25

https://youtu.be/A8_XXTe66_U?list=PLaDrN74SfdT4rs4EFX9KZtUPpeKSJe_dz

WTF?

Why are they treating this game like a bastard child? I'll just keep my copy I guess and not re-buy this emulation.

This one you again play online.

Not really.

 

[Papacheeks]

Yea, I mean the online aspect is great that they are updating that portion of it. But having it play in it's original form makes no fucking sense.

Straight up fail Xbox.

 

[Reineldinho]

From the Shannon Loftis who greenlit the port.

That tweet is from June 2016, a lot can change (or not) during 8 months dev time.

For what it's worth, the results in Grabbed by the Ghoulies was pretty acceptable.

As a pre-E3 release, we'll find out soon

[Shil Pencer]

I want to say iam shocked by the mass confusion in here, but iam not.

 

[Chobel]

People are pretending like the Crash Bandicoot remake looks good and that the original was a good game. So i'd say this has a chance.

This is true, but it's pointless speculating when no additional information has been made.

 

[NolbertoS]

I honestly think MS had no choice but to develop it ASAP. After cancelling the remake, the Phantom Dust HD fiasco was leaving a negative vibe from fans and gamers. It wouldn't surprise me, if they are going to let somebody else handle Scalebound internally, so they can wowo us and say "we haven't forgotten about our Xbox gamers". Shows some goodwill as well as keeping their brand name in convo's

 

[djplaeskool]

Seems like a fairly quick turnaround, then again, I suppose they dumped the remake altogether for just an enhanced port?

Edge so hard Christian is your tag team partner.

UNDERSTAND
I SEE CLEARLY

What in the world? Scalebound is dead. Let it go.

 

[Tain]

480p would be hilarious, but it's not like I'd skip the chance to conveniently play Phantom Dust in 2017 over it. The original supported widescreen, so here's hoping this will support arbitrary 16:9 resolutions. If not, at least be 2x in each direction like PS2-on-PS4 or something.

oh ok, so really is 480p, seems to be they are aiming to give the exact same feel on everything, I can dig if they want to stay true to the original experience

 

[Tain]

Yeah that video is pretty definitive. I heard that in headline snippet form a while ago but didn't want to believe it, lol.

Very odd, but oh well.

 

[kubev]

Oh, nice. Looking forward to playing this, as I've never played the original.

 

[timberger]

Not even HD? What a shitshow... No wonder that checklist of updates feels like it's saying nothing.

The least Spencer could have done is correct the guy asking the question when he called it Phantom Dust HD.

Is that denial or bargaining? Can't tell.

 

[GuitarAtomik]

I'd still buy this even at 480p as long as it has those updated network/multiplayer features. Assuming they don't price it outrageously of course.

 

[JP]

Its 480p...?

😐

Don't you realize you will see every game in 1080p as your output right?

Spoiler

Not being American, it pains me to spell realised with a z.
I wonder if this could be the start of Xbox backwards compatibility on Xbox One? They've done fantastic work with the 360 games and Spencer said last year that he wanted this to happen so maybe it's an E3 thing?

This release having balance tweaks make me think that it's a little too specialized to be the start of a broad original Xbox game support move, but I'd love to be wrong.

In the Shannon Loftis video interview, she said it would be "value" priced.

 

[Hesemonni]

Hopefully this paves way to OG Xbox Emulation or decently priced ports. I'd be down for some Ninja Gaiden Black :/

 

[hwalker84]

Pleae get the Grabbed by the Ghoulies Rare Replay treatment!! That game looked fantastic for an original xbox title.

[pitchfork]

Never played the original and, tbh this doesn't really look like my kind of thing, but the cult like status has me curious..

If its a decent price, i'll probably give it a go

Voodoo Vince, another game from the OG library that's getting similar treatment I loved back in the day and really can't wait for!

 

[purseowner]

Hopefully the straight port means PC requirements are low.

Would love to play this on my GPD WIN.

 

[RareFantasy64]

I always thought this game got cancelled or something had happened to it

 

[Samurai G0SU]

Price = $29.99 then goes on Week of e3 sale for half off at $14.99. (USD)

TAKE YA BETS!

I don't think it'll be above $20.

The new game got cancelled. This is a port of the 2004 game, with some nice-sounding mechanical tweaks.

Shit posting should not be allowed

 

[LukasTaves]

No way it's 480p.

That would be an absolutely terrible decision. I can understand not wanting to give a graphical update (though her excuse is lame as hell too), but you release a xbox port in this state you might as well cancel it right away.

 

[Jaguar Victory]

What if this is just an appetizer and they show us a Phantom Dust 2 running on Scorpio at E3?

 

[Peltz]

Oh fuck, you were right. That's just emulation, the hell?

It would be less ridiculous if the Xbox One had component out so I could hook it up to my PVM and play at 480i/p.

Upscaling from SD really isn't my favorite thing in the world. Especially on PC. What the fuck is that?

 

[CrimsonEclipse]

Honest question, wha was so good about this game that some want to see it make some form of a return? Never played the original.

 

[Chobel]

I dunno if the word "appetizer" fits here.

Or you can take people at the word when they tell you it's going to be at the original resolution. A lot of people never played Phantom Dust, and despite preferring a remaster or remake, would still be interested in a port.

[m23]

I'm just happy I get to play this game again without having to plug in my 360.

I just hope it doesn't cost very much...

Making it gwg would be great IMO, assuming the costs weren't too much to port this.

Greenberg says it's all 1080p output anyway ;-)

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

A 480p rerelease? The fuck are you doing MS? Every 3D XBLA port from last gen does better than that.

 

[lightskintwin]

Exactly. LOL
