Phantom Dust announced [Xbox One]
- Thread starter Lord British
- Start date
Hey, they said to relive the Halo story with the Halo Collection.
Must mean there's no MP, right?

You're overthinking it. Putting out Phantom Dust without its multiplayer would make zero sense (especially if they wanna go the F2P Killer Instinct angle with it).
That was the highlight for me. Huge fan of Phantom Dust and tied as my favorite xbox game with NG. I still own the original and sometimes pop it in the 360 to play it. Was really disappointed when MS shutdown the og xbox servers and killed the multiplayer. Got no one to play it with and you know how much that sucks for one of my favorite multiplayer games ever?

disappointed with that trailer... it went from a cool slick japanese game
to some stupid western looking game.... bleh...
You'd have a point if you weren't completely ignoring this chick from the very same trailer.
Besides, it's a CG teaser. Artistically, the game still might look closer to the original.

Is it a fighting game like SF4 ?

Hope they keep the same art for the protagonist and Edgar. I hope this guy was just for the cg trailer.
Take Hearthstone or magic, and make the game a third person action game where you can run around the environment.
Look, I was asking -- I hadn't heard them mention it and it seems like a poor choice of words. Chill.
And if you want to compare it to the Halo Collection announcement, does every game the collection actually have online MP support as part of the Collection? AFAIK the only MP they confirmed was H2 remake and H5 beta.
No. It's a third person real-time Magic/Card Game arena game.

Microsoft blowing their load. Game was only being 'talked about' in November. A CG trailer?
Too much of that from them this time around. I think they are feeling the pressure.
Sony did it last time around and it was very annoying. I'd rather people stick to actual gameplay.

They mentioned 100 mp maps in the master chief collection. Only six maps got a super shiny new coat.

PLEASE DON'T MAKE IT F2P.
Now bring back Otogi, and MS has sated me in regards to throwing a bone to the OGs.

No, it isn't. There's not actually any other game out there to compare it to to give you an idea.
It's an action/strategy game where you build a deck of skills that you pick up randomly from spawn points on a map. Also featured an extremely (for the time) high level of environmental destruction that you could use to your benefit.

WHAT!!!! I loved that story and the twist.boo this man gif.
Stop getting caught up in semantics. I honestly don't see them remaking this without MP, considering the importance placed on it on the first game with skill trading and the skills that you got from MP. MP was where the game was at and I'd still be playing it now if they didn't shut down the servers years ago.
A thousand times yes. I'm still salty that Otogi and Otogi 2 weren't backwards compatible on 360 but dumb shit like Barbie and that Family Guy game were.
As for the F2P comment, don't give them ideas because I don't want to be buying packs of skills for a dollar. Shit did I just give them an idea?
Only you didn't ask a question. You know a question by this thing, it's called a question mark. Here it is: ? You bolded the word story as if is a confirmation it's story only.
And every Halo map is included in the collection.
Wouldn't be surprised if it was, but they could always release it again silently for $20.

Definitely had a blast with the original on the Xbox. Very excited that they're reviving this one. I would have never thought this game would get a sequel EVER.
my head exploded like the scanners guy because i am a very anti-xbone guy
i'm curious how this will work though. i honestly don't believe the game can be commercially successful without major marketing and something else and idk if they're willing to spend money on that kinda deal.
i have a feeling they're going to take the game to a f2p with booster decks (online) kinda route, which i don't have a problem with personally, as long it's limited to the online component of the game.
like i really don't think the game has much appeal at first glance- it very much is one of those types of games that you learn to love by playing, rather than by first impression appeal, especially visually.
lots of questions about this but consider me megahype and this is my shockwave for E3 by miles and miles and now microsoft has a evil grip on my soul 'cuz i really don't wanna buy an xbox ;_;
also huge shoutouts to them using a song from the original game. i wonder how many people are thinking they just added a random classical song to make a game trailer seem poignant rather than a sick reference?

Agreed, at least this shows that they care enough to bring it back.=p
Imagine Magic:The Gathering, where instead of monsters, cards equate to attacks, and you can combine different cards in your deck to create new abilities.
My personal favorite was a card that that did a single hp short range shot, combined with a modifer card that extended range and fire rate so all together, you got a 105 hp gatling gun that could stun from about a screen's worth of distance.
This is an arena combat game first, but a deck building game a VERY VERY VERY close second.
That is fucking great news. I like how he respects the classics so im confident its in good hands. The Arsenal building music is one of my favorites:

I never would have expected this game to get a second outing. I don't care if it is a remake, I played a ton of the original online, and there's never really been anything like it since to fill the hole left behind. I will gladly buy an Xbox One and deal with microtransactions for more Phantom Dust. I can't wait to build my erase deck 2.0.
Jeez, just buy the damn console for the game if you like it so much. You'd be much better off not getting into this console war bullshit.
Don't forget *fully* destructible environments. Nothing like dropping half a building on someones head.
Don't do this.

See that question mark? I quoted him to give context to my question because people didn't seem to understand why I asked. The MP was what people love about Phantom Dust so it seems odd to me they'd use "Relive the story" as their tagline. So I was looking for confirmation MP would be included.
Take it easy.

He's apparently involved with all the new IP's or something.
Also trending on Twitter. But a lot of comments are "WTF IS THIS?" makes me really really sad.

So what's so great about the series? I've been looking it up, first one seems to have gotten alright reviews (mid 80s or so), but I don't get where the hype is coming from. Can anyone link a good gameplay video of it?
It will most likely include lots of newer stuff too though. Doubt they'll just keep everything the same.
haha, no worries. i don't normally console war, and i'm not gonna start with this. i'm just super hype for a game that i never thought was gonna be recognized ever again gettin' some love and possibly a wider audience to show folks why i love it so much.
i know that feel, for real. eraser and the comeback (hp/photon difference) decks were my most hated 'cause my deck was melee focused and i got reckless real often. switched between blade stuff and ki school stuff, and oh man it was sooo good once you got in on dudes because the lag made dodging melees so hard, haha. tiger strengthed up blades and hyperspeed punches were the real deal!
i really hope they manage to capture that strange balance the game had between all the different playstyles.
