IP that Xbox should revive for Series X and forward

[AllianceOfficer]

Xbox should buy Dino Crisis off Capcom and revive it.

…ird person, RPG, Shooter, set in the Shadowrun universe. I’d like it to have the exploration like an Elder Scrolls game. I’d like it also to be a shooter like Fallout. Plus it would be a Cyberpunk game that doesn’t just have humans, but Orcs, Elves, Dwarves, Goblins, you name it, so it would be different from other fantasy games, too. Unfortunately I don’t see this happening, because Bethesda, Obsidian, InXile and Playground are busy with other projects. But if Microsoft was to buy Larian Studios and help grow the studio they’d be perfect for this game. The reason why I say them is because I remember in the past an exec at Larian said he hoped in the future Larian could make Game like Bethesda and CD Project Red. So with all the other RPG studios busy, why not work with Larian for Shadowrun?

I love the HarebrainedSchemes Shadowruns, so more of them (or even xbox ports of them) would be wonderful.

Those were good and I’m not sure if you ever played the Sega Genesis or Nintendo NES ones or not, but those were good too.

I so wish we’d get another one and with a huge amount of money behind it, so it can really shine.

Just imagine for an example Cyberpunk 2077, but good and in a fantasy world, plus third person like The Witcher games.

That to me is what I want to see for Shadowrun, when it returns.

I never had those consoles, (Playstation was my first after Commodores and CD-i) so I only know of them by reputation not myself.

But I love the world itself and mix of fantasy and cyberpunk so it being given a “Fallout 3” treatment would be very cool for me.

…Microsoft should bring back Commander Keen!

This was my first thought when I saw this thread. They could do it in various interesting ways. Either a modern platformer, Psychonauts style, which would stay true to its origin and provide a new game in a genre where Xbox is kind of underserved. Or they could reboot the IP, and reinvent both the gameplay and the genre.

If they went the latter route, it being an iD property makes me suspect they would be tempted to make it a gritty FPS reboot, but I think that would be a mistake. I feel like Keen needs to stay lighthearted.

For my money, I think a 3rd person, decently lighthearted sci-fi adventure game would be cool. Maybe open world, like a sci-fi Breath of the Wild. Or more linear, like a sci-fi Uncharted.

Or just make it a modern platformer. I just want some more Keen.

Jeff Grubb was hinting as a possible new Shadowrun game from Microsoft not too long ago. There was speculation of Arkane Lyon being the studio that works on it.

Conker.

Spyro.

Banjo.

We need some “Mascots” for the younger audiences or for those who want to relive them.

Lost Odyssey.

Blue Dragon.

Would be huge as Xbox lacks JRPGS atm.

Ninja Gaiden.

Could get the “Souls” treatment for those who love that genre.

Ryse.

Make it a “Cinematic Action Adventure” like GoW.

[slicerdyster (Dyashen)]

I don’t think Team Ninja would be up for another Ninja Gaiden game. They seem pretty busy with both Koei Tecmo projects and ofcourse Stranger of Paradise which might end up being a series of its own. At this point, the Xbox team should just make sure to maintain their relationship with studios like From and Team Ninja.

Looking at the back catalog, Phantom Dust is definitely one that I hope to see return. The crazy story mixed with the pretty good arena combat missions are just two things that I’d love to see this gen. C’mon the 20th anniversary is in two years from now, there’s still time

With the Activision acquisition, getting a new King’s Quest could be hype as well. Phil did really like the recent reboot so maybe there’s a chance of that returning.

That is the dream and hopefully it happens.

@Joe_Sinister1

If that is to happen it could be cool. I just want a new Shadowrun game, be it Arkane, Casey Hudson’s company Humanoid Studios or who ever, just as long as it is given the respect it deserves I’d support it.

Pay tecmo anything for new Ninja Gaiden game

[RoslindaleOne (Mike)]

Viva Pinata and Kameo. They have that Rare charm I loved about them.

[deftones_r_cool]

Banjo and Conker

Fuck off with this Everwild shit, Rare

Nobody wants that instead

As a wise lad with awesome hair and taste in movies once said….

BRING BACK PHANTOM DUST!

Careful. Youll upset the rare fans.

I do somewhat agree. But ms are to blame for giving rare so much freedom. 20 years and theyve put out like 2 decent games(one of them only became decent after a few years)

This is from the same studio that was pumping out AAA 90+ score rated million sellers on a yearly basis back in the snes n64 era.

Im sure everwild will be good. I just pray its not releases as alpha beta like SoT was.

The most fun aspect is that even the devs seem to lack an understanding of what they want the game to be

Shame. Really

I just can’t get excited about old school platformer nowadays. Psychonauts 2 was great but it’s got a lot more going on than jumping on enemies heads.

Admiteddly I haven’t played a Mario game since the Wii.

Not quite - I think they know what they want the game to be about, but they have not achieved how to make the core gameplay appealing and fun… yet.

They could release it now and figure it out later. Worked for Sea of Thieves right?..
