Xbox Game Studios |OT6| I'M BACK (TO RISE)

Is the story mode they added after launch worth going back for? I enjoy fighting games, but "arcade mode" and online play aren't really enough to keep me entertained for very long and I haven't played much KI since season one.
It's really good. I haven't played many fighting games but KI is definitely a very good one if you're new to the genre.
Character roster is also pretty sweet with some really good looking character with some of the best fighting music available.
They have a Shadow Lords mode now that really helps keep solo players entertained. I would highly suggest trying it out :). I agree with Zedox, in that it is the best fighting game this gen.
Dat New Thread Smell!!
Let's not fool ourselves.. The day Morgoth Bauglir decides to stop using multi quotes is when all y'all pretenders to the throne will be cast away for eternity. 😂
No offense intended!

And making those games available on a platform people in said country actually play on will help it grow a lot faster imo, and doesn't go against the team at Xbox making a commitment to Japanese games. Cuphead was wildly successful on the switch and was wildly successful on Xbox, no cares who sold more, all that matters is that both groups got a damn good game.
As for me using the past for my viewpoints, the past is all I have to go on since there has been no recent attempts until we started hearing rumblings of them going for an eastern based studio. Yeah, Xbox is in a different place now, but that doesn't change the reality of when a Japanese game does release on the platform, it's normally always the bottom in terms of sales and playerbase because again, most of the audience for said games is not on the platform, and they aren't going to run out and grab a Xbox just cause an exclusive or two when the default platform for these games gets exclusives without paying for anything. How many games drop on Switch & PS4 (and now PC!) that have no deals for being exclusive, yet never even have a chance of getting an Xbox port despite porting being easier than ever?
As long as that's the case, then Xbox will never be the default platform for those types of games and will always be a third or second at best console purchase if they bother getting it at all, so instead of trying to fight that battle again, why not let people who already own those platforms invest in the ecosystem in a way that benefits everyone?
-Xbox players get Japanese first party games that might actually live long enough to get a follow up
-Microsoft gets more software sales from first party and more sweet sweet MAU's
-Japanese gamers and a large majority of fans of those types of games get access to game they probably would have forgotten about the second "exclusive" popped up on the screen.
- and maybe, just maybe, this leads to a day where people are looking forward to MS's presence in the east instead of scoffing at the very idea [what's a Xbox gif goes here].
Everything you mentioned as a reason to stay exclusive would only go faster and be much more profitable if it wasn't. And just like you mention now more than ever MS and the team at Xbox are in a different place than before, that's exactly why I think it's a possibility that shouldn't be so quickly hand waived.
I agree PC support is a good compromise as there is quite a large audience of people willing to support those types of games on the platform already, but I don't know about xCloud and Gamepass. Not because they arent great ideas, but because at this moment one hasnt released properly so I'm unsure how to gauge it and I'm not sure how much the success of Gamepass would transfer over to fans of those types of games and Japan as a whole when they already own a platform that's gonna get 10x the amount by just existing.
This has yet to be seen. It could very well be a gamechanger, but it also might make no difference at all and at this point im not in a position to make that call cause its not out yet.

Yea, as others have said, they don't have a Story mode like MK (no one does...lol) but the Shadow Lords is definitely a single player mode that does some crazy shit in it. It may interest you, it may not. Just try it out and see if you like it or not.

I don't know what you're talking about. :^)
The Rare links were for forum posts, I think. They likely got deleted. Unless someone can manage to find the posts in question, there's not much I can do on my end.
The Blazblue games (especially the last two) have lengthy story modes, but they're basically visual novels, not big cinematic things.
Shame the last one skipped Xbox altogether :'(

Because the games still get support (= resources), just like the original tweet said. The list exists to show what all these people at XGS are working on. It's not a list for console wars stuff, just some straight facts.
I'm really interested by these, do we (or anyone) know for sure it's 2 projects? I feel like Global Publishing really hit hard at the beginning of this gen, and have tapered off (thought CD3 did just release). I expect these will likely land pretty early next gen.

Thanks for the info. I'll check it out.
Man, I really hope that if a KI sequel is in the works, it has a story mode similar to MK11's. It was a ton of fun and it was really cool to continue to see that universe fleshed-out. My only criticism is there isn't more single-player story content coming with the DLC, because I would love more episodes featuring the DLC characters, even if they were just an hour or so with three or four fights.
How do we know that XGP (Publishing) has two unknown games in development? Is that a guess or something more concrete?
It's really stretching it to say they're "working" on Halo 5 when the last update was over a year and a half ago and they rely on the community to create Forge maps for their playlist refreshes.
I know it's about support which is why I didn't question Horizon 4. And it also depends on what you consider support. Halo 5 hasn't had any new content for over a year. Same with Gears.
The reason I stopped playing Halo 5 was BECAUSE of the lack of support. Just think it's weird to include them.
For me, a new KI is like MS doing a new Halo.
If it is not in the cards, I honestly have no idea what MS is thinking anymore.
Do we have any leads on the addition of a Japanese studio? I still think Konami with their IP would be cool.
Got it. It's difficult to draw the line so I just included them :) As an example though, Gears of War 4 just got a new skin announced - today. While Halo 5 gets playlists/modes updates. So people at these teams are working on it still. But again - I agree it's difficult to draw the line.
