Didn't the Vagabond manga artist do Lost Odyssey's character designs?
From a totally selfish point of view the less funding attributed to JRPG's or anime stuff the better.
Wow holy shit it does look like the same art style. My love of LO just got deeper. I will fight anyone who doesn't want a sequel.
I feel new studios won't have the connection to an existing MS IP like Phil Spencer & the Internal team who saw those old IPs being born, created and released had.
Phil Spencer needs to MAKE IT HAPPEN, talk to their 2nd parties or create new studios to bring back these IPs, not leave it to the studios to pitch it to them.
Example: Very very few people from the Current Rare team lived through those golden 90s/2000s to realize what games like Banjo/Perfect Dark really meant. Craig Duncan, the Head of Rare himself joined in 2011 and has no inclination to go back and explore these IPs. On the contrary, we are getting a Psychonauts 2 because the original creator Tim Schafer wanted it.

I played Blitzball for almost the same amount of time than the rest of the game, so I'd be totally down with this hahah
I'm pretty sure the character designs were done by Takehiko Inoue.
I don't entirely disagree. Obviously, if Phil wants these IPs to come back, then he needs to lay the groundwork himself. To your example, Gregg Mayles is still at Rare, and I'm sure he would have enough pull there to make a new Banjo if he was interested enough. Rare has always had a history of trying new things, and I think that's in their DNA at this point. Many of their games don't even have one sequel, let alone multiple.
I presented a game preview release as one possible scenario, not "im 100% expecting this!" and clarified the possible reason for what I gave the opinion based on, maybe read the original post next time?

Was just a general comment from me. Not need to get heated.
Where was taken, seems like a retailer promotion since the poster is very similar to ghost recon one below it. Seems like it could be a mistake but I don't doubt that FF7 will eventually come to an Xbox platform.
Sorry - I didnt mean to quote you, i'll remove it. I agree SOT may well have benefitted from preview
I suppose AOE4.
Maybe we finally see the First trailer or screenshots at Gamescom
Gamescom is where they announced it originally and that is a good place for them to show it due to the market but given they've not mentioned it im not really expecting it there now
That's not necessarily true, ongoing episodic narratives are nothing new even in other media, and that's something that can function in GaaS without any issues. Every update can be a self-contained story or you can have entire story arcs spread across seasons (which is how many GaaS already structure their updates). Post-launch updates can even be spin-off stories only tangentially related to the main game narrative. 343i already experimented with that in Halo 4's Spartan Ops which worked fine from the narrative standpoint, even if it faltered from the gameplay perspective, but that's an unrelated issue that could've been avoided.
I'm with you on this one. But it will all depend on console sales/xCloud success. No matter what Microsoft execs say, console sales still matter as long as Xbox is a different development environment from PC. I mean Xbox console success and developers interest is only depends on itself and not on some mystical Xbox ecosystem as some others can think. xCloud should help a bit as it uses console hardware, but I don't see cloud gaming becoming mainstrean in the next 5 years.
Me too, pls
No chance it releases day and date with PS4 version though.
That's crazy, I thought it was a real photo. I hope Scarlett has VR support with that game.
I agree, especially considering that gamescom is in Europe where Microsoft seems to be changing their focus on PC efforts as PC is strong in Europe. Seems like a good idea to show it on gamescom.
Oh most definitely. Microsoft either needs to claw their way back in terms of sales, or find ways to make the costs negligible. XCloud is definitely a great argument for bringing games to Xbox. I'm really excited to play around with that later this year. I don't think it'll become "mainstream" anytime soon either, but I'd like to see it at least match the # of Xbox Scarlett users.
It might not become mainstream, but I can tell you it works great, so it really just depends on if people is willing to try it.
I've been using a cloud PC for more than 2 years now and it works perfectly, even when I connect with a tablet or phone instead of the monitor and box setup that's connected through ethernet.
So if a small company like Blade can do it I'm really confident that MS' take will be at least as good
Why would it be Flight Sim related? Relic are working on AoE.
EDIT Damnit it Sparrows! /shakes fist

Interesting stuff
I have said this before
SoT is the best game Rare has ever made - it is just an amazing experience unlike ANYTHING on the market
And yeah I love rares old games and have played most of them from Nes and going forward
Yes and i respect him a lot(love Slam Dunk), but his art style is not really fitting the modern era anymore.
