Zombie games still sell. And State of Decay was fantastic. Why would they not feel that way?

I thought the gaming community was over zombies. If they're not, they should be by now.

It should be dinosaurs now. And then Nazis to bring us full circle.

Zombie Nazis on dinosaurs. Waiting for your call, Phil.
 
Plzzzzz tomorrow. Plzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Should be soon. Just got an invite for the latest Xbox One preview program.

Seems like you're not automatically enrolled if you took part in the previous preview

Hope that zombie game is a new IP.

State of decay was an alright but repetitive zombie survival game, don't want a new Dead Rising after DR3, and Day Z is still a broken mess.
 
I wouldn't mind seeing:

Mass Effect 2 & 3 for BC... & all 3 as a preorder bonus for ME4.
Perfect Dark reimagined as a 3rd person stealth action game... ala Splinter Cell, Shangheist, Metal Gear.
Vanquish 2.
Fight Night remaster/remake.
Wrex coming to Killer Instinct.
Fable 4 from Obsidian.
A new Project Gotham Racing... from Codemasters, & Forza moving to a 3 year cycle (Motorsport, Horizon, Rally).
Age of Empires 4.
MechWarrior 5.
A new ODST, inspired by BF:Bad Company campaigns.

Some or all of that'd be pretty sweet.
 
Whats the next xbox update supposed to contain?
It's the anniversary update for Windows 10 which Xbox One is also receiving parts of.

Known is:
Cortana
Background Music
Unification of Stores for XB1 and Windows 10 store
Universal Apps available on Xbox One

Rumored:
Updates to the "My Games & Apps" section


Whether they are all there at launch of the preview is very doubtful
 
Age of Empires?

Really a new Age of Empires? Like a proper one?

Can I really believe this?

AOE and Sea of Thieves is what I want to see most by far from this list.

Do we know if there will be folders? I was thinking of deleting games just so there was less clutter lol

Edit: I guess that would be the rumored My Games and Apps update lol

Did you miss the Conker Hololens demo?

That's exactly what I'm making reference to. That and the Project Spark bullshit they pulled.

Poor Conker.

I hope Ratchet has shown them that there is room for a new Conker or Kameo game.

Guys, what if all those Conker tags could mean a new Conker game has been outsourced to another developer? It's been mentioned that Battletoads is being worked on specifically by Rare, so a new Conker game could potentially be made by someone else.

Just wanted to throw that out there. It's definitely a possibility, right?

so if thats to be believed, that'd be theoretically

- Battletoads
- Age of Empire
- Forza horizon 3
- Zombie game
-Halo wars 2
- Gears 4
- Scalebound
-Recore
- Crackdown 3
- Sea of thieves

I can't see FH3( Forzas barely get time at the conferences),AoE or battletoads getting a lot of show time( probably the same amount of time that rare replay got last year). SO Im guessing at least 1-2 more cg trailers of new stuff, with deeper dives of Gears, Scalebound, SoT and Recore. With Crackdown getting maybe a sizzle reel

They told Lionhead no one cares about long single player rpgs despite the success of Skyrim and Fallout 4.

In other words the suits at MS don't really know what's hot in the market

Zombie game is probably DayZ releasing as early access on Xbox One (out now announecement?) since on PC it just hit 0.60 with substantial fps improvements, directX 11, new renderer, better visuals, better performance.

I really want to see a Dead Rising in a Theme Park though.

I mean, Fable is a very different beast than the Bethesda RPGs. Much more of a themepark, which, it must be said, is very much on the way out these days.

Why on earth would MS care about DayZ? That time has passed for DayZ to make an impact. Also Dean has been working on Ion for the last two years, which was announced E3 2015 during the Xbox Press Conference.

If there is a zombie game, it is probably Class4 from Undead Labs.

Undead Labs Wikipedia said:
Class4 is the codename for the followup to State of Decay. Little is known about the game other than it is planned to be one of the first massively multiplayer online games (MMOs) to come to the Xbox One.

A new preview of the Xbox Smartglass app was released for my phone today, so the Xbox update might be just around the corner.


Got a message from Xbox stating to join the preview in the app

I first I hated the idea, but now I realize that Australia is probably the right place to bring the festival vibe back. Hype etc.

FH1 > FH2

Agreed.

I really want them to try capture the festival vibe that was lacking FH2. I want the popularity level back, and the rivals as well as the underground street racing hubs.

I also hope Australia brings a bigger map with more diversity. FH2's map got stale pretty quick. (NZ expansion pls Playground?)

Yep, and bring back "story" and cutscenes.
