Rumor: Xbox E3 info (Zombie game, Battletoads, Forza Horizon, AoE, more)
- Thread starter AAMARMO
- Start date
From your description and from what I've just watched, it seems like it is.
Maybe I'm insane, but I'm kind of assuming a downloadable title here.
That's not good if true.

Crushing my dreams man I was hoping we would finally see the new state of decay game.

Sea of Thieves have a Fable-vibe but I don't know how good it will play. Also it is only for Xbox One and PC right? The PC gamers that enjoy the game will help keep it populated but I'm not sure if the Xbox One players will continue playing.
Hopefully there is more. . right? This can't be it. . right?

I can confirm this as well, having spoken to them, personally.
But that doesn't necessarily mean we won't see a teaser of some sort. They don't have to be present for that.

Yes, if there's a Battletoads revival I can see it being a project of similar size as Shadow of the Beast.
The same type of shit was pulled with Street Fighter.
If he found that stuff how I think he found it, it doesn't show the big stuff.

GOTY 2014.
Nope, that's it. Looks like Phil just sent over the script to some dude on Reddit. Pack it up folks, maybe next year.
Lol, it'll be the xbox one players keeping the PC populated. You have it the other way around
Since Phil is huge on Destiny I'm sure it'll have good end game content to keep people around aswell, he'll be pushing for it to be more like Destiny and less like Division I'd imagine
TEASER TRAILER
Nothing from the OP will be in that teaser.

Probably bullshit.
Oh, I'm sure a lot of it is real, but considering how heavily some of it's been hinted at, I really doubt it's an actual leak. Battletoads is probably not happening.

I'd love Dead Rising 4. 3 was fantastic.
New Battletoads? Xav was right again.
FH3 in Australia is not what I was hoping for (wanted Japan), but I'm sure it's going to be a ton of fun anyway.

You know that's not all.

This Battletoads back and forth. Someone put the skin on the line and confirm - we'll protect you from GAF mods.
If other rumors are true any XBO game = Win10 game.
Also State of Decay MMO will be hype!

Why for the love of all that is holy would you have them do Battletoads?
Just farm that out to Platinum and have Rare work on the true next great Banjo Platformer.

Maybe they wanted to?
i wonder if the people who criticize Battletoads are the same people who only think that game is just turbo tunnel + brawling
Game is way more than that and thinking Platinum could do that when they obviously suck at anything that isn't just a dope combat system is kind of dumb

Battletoads makes so much sense for Platinum to do. That's their kind of IP.
Didn't go so well with Turtles tho
If this is not a sign of conceding then I dont know what is!
Why even next year? It's all over, all over I say.

What?
Are you telling me when I was 9 playing Battletoads and thought it was just a great fighting game where my fist and foot blew up to comical portions while fighting radical rats with sunglasses that I was....missing something?
Please enlighten me.
Wasn't that really just an issue of time though?

I thought their E3 was supposed to be Xbox+PC-centric?

Well, you still have stuff like Scalebound, Recore and Crackdown 3. There will also be third party multiplats. That is just the stuff we know about.
The OP even says he doesn't know exactly what's at E3.
Battletoads has five vehicle stages. Hey remember when Platinum could do games with great vehicle controls like Bayonetta and Korra? I sure don't.
Battletoads has three stages within the game that involves either going down or going up, restricting how much you can punch due to either the reduced traction of the game play space or the fact that falling to the floor = death.
There's only like, one genuine boss battle in the original NES game. And that was dreadful from both a difficulty to design standpoint.
So when people say "lol Platinum should make a Battletoads game!!!!" They have to consider like do you want another Platinum action game with the Battletoads skin? Because both the NES/Genesis releases of the game are more than just punching shit.
Not to mention Platinum's licensed games track record is abysmal. Korra and Turtles were hot garbage and Transformers was decent enough I suppose. I would rather have them work on passion projects than being Sunsoft 2.0.
Battletoads games have variety and Platinum sucks ass at variety.
but can you run em over
I just want a city to drive through...
Not the tiny ones in Horizon 2.
I kind of want Horizon 3 to have a midtown madness feel to it.
