Blood Wake 2 would be the real Scorpio killer app.
Game was so good, thanks for reminding me about this.
Blood wake and how about a new crimson skies?
Define what genres you want in "new IP."
Because if Microsoft comes out and announces a whole slew of new IPs, but they're all multiplayer-focused games, I'm pretty sure like half of GAF would implode in 200+ page threads with nothing but raw anger and statements like "How can you even justify this?" made against people who are genuinely excited about said new IP.
Yes. I'm tired of this whole shtick at this point. Like singleplayer games somehow have more merit than multiplayer ones. And now I'm just picking apart a random post stating a desire for new IPs.
Maybe I should just take a break from GAF for a while.
The issue with them just showing multiplayer is that's what mostly this generation has got wrong so far. Couple games like overwatch, destiny I guess got it right somewhat. But a lot of them screwed the pooch in how they approached value, and trying to shove microtransations in games that don't need them to make them more of a service. Which is why your seeing such a big insurgence of Single player games. Especially from Japan since they don't put a lot of micro transactions in their games outside of costumes. Western development has been on a war path to try and make their game a service since a couple outlier's like GTA V, have been able to do.
Xbox use to be about having a little of everything especially single player games. But their hook was play a campaign by yourself with a friend next to you or online. Now they have been about playing online 24/7 and their whole monthly xbox live activity numbers they throw out proves that for PR spin mind you.
They are not the brand they use to be and the people who use to make good decisions like shamus and J allard have been long gone. Spencer is a games guy, so it's perplexing he's not fighting for games that represent xbox heritage like single player games, split screen co-op, and western rpg's.
Xbox is the console that brought Bioware to consoles, they brought starwars rpg's to consoles, brought Ninja Gaiden to 3D to consoles, brought PC games like Half-life, Chronicles of Riddick, farcry, fuzion frenzy, Kung Fu choas.
I mean yea they didn't make those games but they talked to the right people and got them on their platform, or funded the port of the game.
