I really hope it's fun, because I'm a fan of the franchise and would like Microsoft to continue to dip into its war chest of underutilized IPs moving forward. I suppose we'll see once it hits GamePass!
About damn time. Knowing there's all this Age of Empires goodness out there on the horizon has been killing me.
I also want to try out AOE2DE's new AI in skirmishes. It should make for some crazy fun times.
I mean, I have no problem eating crow if end up being wrong on it. Does it not feel slow when actually playing it? I feel like that is what is sticking out to me the most.
Do you think it could be a launch title or in the launch window for Scarlett?
Funny enough, I only read about that on this forum. I didn't really notice anything wrong with the speed because you need to do combos and I can't imagine doing so at insane speeds. It felt good, don't know what else to add haha. The satisfaction in this game actually comes from "creating" and seeing great and fun animations by doing combos.
The criticism I had were the hitboxes "in the 3D room" (vertically). They need to be a bit larger.
Other than that the game played very well. It's just a small and fun game. No need to over-analyze stuff imo.
No idea. I think when we see it at XO19 we have a idea how far it is. But i think it will be a 2021 game.
Seems like it will only be a trailer at XO19. If we take that next year will be gameplay, then you are right. We are looking at Spring/Fall 2021.
I definitely agree with the need a few big new IP thing, I'd love to see a world where every major Xbox franchise was able to get at least 3 years per entry, and more IPs to rotate through helps that for sure.
I don't think Rare will be returning to their backlog anytime soon, they've talked about it before how if they were to make a new Conker it'd be very different and fans probably wouldn't like it. It'd be cool for Microsoft to establish a team within or next to Rare that oversaw licensing their IP to other devs, like Square Enix Collective or even like a tiny all Rare version of Global Publishing. Make sure the devs are treating the IP in a certain way but still giving them control.
I actively do not want to see a bunch of remakes or remasters though, between Rare Replay and Backwards Compatibility I think that's covered.
If MS's plan at the time was to release Definitive Editions of the first 3 games before dropping a new one, they kinda had to announce AOE IV early to nip that obvious question in the bud. Still, a sprinkle of news here and there about the game would be appreciated.
If AOE4 is a success, anyone up for a Relic developed RTS in the Gears of War universe? I feel like their COH + Dawn of War 2 engine is already tailored made for Gears mechanics.
.....yea, we need tabata and jp games with xbox
Rare Replay is included in Game Pass and has both Viva Pinata games, running in 4K on Xbox One X at least.
Ah, sorry, i meant on PC. There's no easy way to play Viva Piñata on PC in the present moment :(
:( Not a genre I like. But I'll give it a try due to Gamepass.
He directed Final Fantasy Type-0 and The 3rd Birthday as well, if you're into those.
He seems to really like portable/mobile games.
Haven't tried type-0 yet, been meaning to get the Xbox version
Ninja Theory has five teams we know about (possibly six). My money is on in (if they don't just wait for next year) being the Stanyon project. It's likely a more traditional third-person action-adventure game. It looks like Andrew Vidler is also possibly the Technical Director. The game has likely been in development off and on since July of 2015.
The Hellblade team is probably getting closer (although they obviously haven't had as much time as the Stanyon team), but I think Microsoft will announce games with smaller teams closer to launch to avoid having to show them over and over due to setbacks. It's just a guess, of course, but I think the Stanyon game is in the first year of Scarlett and the Hellblade team's new game is in the second year.
Question, would DMC 5 be considered AA+? high production value but at 10 hr story with replayability. What if rahni Tucker's team and capcom decide to let DmC exclusive to Xbox/pc? ( instead of dead rising) plus ofc gamepass day one. I feel like that would fit the model ms is going for... AA/AAA range
This is hilarious. Excited to see how they implement it. I wonder if you ship can catch fire and you use the bucket to put it out?
It's not great. One of the least enjoyable FF games I've played.
Does length factor in to A-ness? I'd have said DMC V was AAA, but I'm not really sure anymore
10000% this. Get me Pendulum Wars, get me COG vs Locust, COG vs Swarm, im ready.
Xcom Gears and RTS Gears would be too very beasts, I see no reason why they couldnt co-exist or do both in good time, I think it would be a shame if they limited themselves for that reason, it would definitely work and could be really cool.
And Gears Tactics coming to Xbox, as expected: https://www.resetera.com/threads/ge...confirms-the-coalitions-rod-fergusson.136388/
This is a great read. I understand where he's coming from saying that he thinks Kait will stay loyal to the COG, but Kait betraying the COG would be about a thousand times more interesting to me. You playing as her and being forced to betray the COG, then playing as JD or Del seeking revenge (or possibly to redeem Kait) in Gears 6 would be awesome.
It's purely about budget and production values. DMC V is short, but it has great replay value and definitely is AAA-game
I mean, he also directed FFXV, which, sure, had some issues, but there's plenty of good stuff in there too.
I'd like to see what he could do when he's not tied to someone else's project that's been in various states of development for a decade.
The squads, heavy weapon teams, and vehicles in COH/DOW all have equivalents in the Gears universe for COG, Swarm, Locust and DBs.
As I mentioned before, the cover mechanics in the COH/DOW2 engine are already deep enough for Gears.
You have a plethora of characters in Gears that can be "commanders" / "heroes". There is also plenty in the lore that can be translated into commander abilities / perks, such as Hammer of Dawn strikes, COG resonator, Immulsion bomb, nerve gas attack, sink holes, Kyrl attack, Corpser attack, Maelstrom device, Imulsion countermeasure weapon.
Gears just has the hunker down behind covers and dark atmosphere that would work so well in the COH engine.

I understand what you're saying, for sure, but I don't think the Halo 5 story did it particularly well.
Gears 5 ending with Kait betraying the COG and you personally killing Marcus (playing as Kait, after he threatened her as it became clear she was turning) would be incredible. They could follow it up in Gears 6 with JD and Del going after Kait. JD could want to avenge his father and kill her and Del could want to give her a chance at redemption (and with her being the new queen, use her power to finally put an end to the war).
They could eventually find her and Del could seemingly change her mind before she turns on them, killing JD (for wanting to kill her) and exiling Del. Gears could then take a long hiatus (end of the trilogy and give the franchise some room to breath), before coming back in a future where the Locust have ruled for a long time, enslaved the COG, and are stripping the planet of resources. Kait is the queen and a younger, stronger new villain could serve directly under her. A group of younger, new characters living out in exile could attempt to seek out Del and use his knowledge to try to take on the locusts and set up a new trilogy. They could start the trailer for the new trilogy without you even realizing it was Gears with new characters living in exile.
Where are you seeing him say that. 343 community guy just said we would see infinite this year and implied the flighting would start this year too.
Oh god, I hope this thread doesn't devolve into fan fiction.
That it literally Kerrigan's arc in the original Starcraft xD
