Wat. Is this the same thing that was scrapped?

No, This is the original.

 

[Revven]

This port pretty much confirms what happened to what they announced two years ago.. Completely scrapped.

So they probably felt they had to do something and this is it.

 

[Mubbed]

If it is in fact on Windows 10...

LAAAWWWWWWD

It had the Windows 10 logo.

 

[Spade]

I'll take it. I wanted Phantom Dust and got it lmao

 

[FinKL]

So they scrapped the remake and now are literally porting the original Xbox version with Xbox One features. It looks rough, but it could be my internet.
Still excited, was ahead of it's time to me

 

[HStallion]

See it not dead!

Still I'll take it. I LOVED this game back on the original XBOX, seriously it may have been the best game on the system for me, over Halo and everything else. That and Oddworld Stranger's Wrath were my games back in the day!

 

[Fox Mulder]

Surprised that wasn't at the Microsoft conference.

This is better, as they already spent the goodwill from announcing it once. Announcing it again only shines light on their failure.

 

[Razlo]

I'm totally on board to buy this. Phantom Dust is such a great game

 

[singhr1]

Wat. Is this the same thing that was scrapped?

No its the old game, just ported on XB1 and Windows.

 

[StalkerUKCG]

Thread merged, Can we get a title fix?

 

[deadscreensky]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSS

They should run through some Xbox classics then. Jade Empire for example.

 

[Conflict NZ]

Whichever mod edited the title, you spelt "Phantom" wrong

I think that was all original Xbox FMV footage. I wouldn't be surprised if this was incredibly early.

Even still, the gameplay footage in that FMV isn't going to look that much better; would just be a whole lot sharper.

 

[Cow Goes Moo]

probably teh best case scenario for the project and its fans

 

[wwm0nkey]

YES!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Mechazawa]

Fuck it, I'll buy rebalanced Phantom Dust on PC.

Glad they're gonna salvage something out of this mess.

 

[KiraXD]

So there is NO new Phantom Dust... they decided to just do an HD remaster?

 

[Danchi]

This never came out in Europe so I'm looking forward to this.

 

[packy34]

Original assets, not an HD remake

Literally just a port with modern Xbox Live integration

 

[piratepwnsninja]

I'm OK with an HD remaster of the original. It's one of my favorite games.

 

[VendettaRed07]

Can't wait to play it with my still living friends

 

[Empty]

v pleased with this as they never released original in europe

 

[StalkerUKCG]

Merged my title into your thread. I fucked up not a mod lol.

 

[Shikamaru Ninja]

Horrible thread title. I mean it's obvious this isn't a remake.

 

[Spyder_Monkey]

THIS IS NOT THE GAME THAT WAS ANNOUNCED TWO YEARS AGO

THIS IS NOT A NEW GAME IN GENERAL

THIS IS AN HD RE-RELEASE OF THE ORIGINAL GAME THAT CAME OUT IN 2004

 

[RowdyReverb]

Re-release of the original? HA! This IP never gets a break.

Could be gauging interest in a new entry

 

[Iva Demilcol]

This is great,

While you're at it MS, please consider a re-release of Jet Set Radio Future, Panzer Dragoon Orta, Otogi & Otogi II. Don't care who you have to talk to, just do it.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

Wait what

This is awesome

 

[Mrbob]

Huh? I'm in.

 

[Teknopathetic]

"THIS IS NOT THE GAME THAT WAS ANNOUNCED TWO YEARS AGO

Honestly, with high resolution and online play?

That'll do, pig. That'll do.

 

[bobbychalkers]

I really wanna know what the fuck went down with the game they announced a couple years back.

 

[kogasu]

yes...YES YEEEEEESSSSSSSS!!!!

 

[T.O.P]

Oh wow D:

 

[SmackAttack]

I never played the original so I'm happy to hear this.

They specifically said its not in HD. Original assets.

 

[m23]

I'd pay to play it online again.

 

[SOR5]

Everytime i've seen this logo pop up at E3 my eyes suddenly jolt open

 

[RedAssedApe]

Re-release

 

[IJoel]

Better than nothing, but still quite disappointing.

 

[Teknopathetic]

"They specifically said its not in HD. Original assets."


Original Assets has nothing to do with the resolution it's rendering at.

 

[branny]

 

[Skrams]

I guess they figured it might be a slap in the face if showed during the conference, so just throw it in here instead?

 

[dancrane212]

They specifically said its not in HD. Original assets.

Original assets can be run at a higher resolution like 1080p.

[Emperor Bohe]

i'm cool with this. i hope this doesn't mean that we will never get OG Xbox backwards compatibility tho

 

[The Flash]

I'm willing to bet that Ken Lobb had something to do with this.

 

[Pooya]

honestly I take this over some whatever low budget remake by a C tier developer. You know what you will get, it has online play and everything.

 

[Cheddahz]

I'm totally fine with this actually
