The new Phantom Dust is dead. Phil is talking about the HD version.

I don't think Xbox is going to spend much time or money marketing a remaster of Phantom Dust, nor do I think it's going to sell like hot cakes.
what's funny
So we're sticking with the original graphics for the game. Party because the animations are so crucial to gameplay and to upres the graphics means opening old animation files and everything else; so the original resolution and the framerate is exactly what you're going to experience. You know it is a little bit of a wayback-machine kind of experience but the gameplay is so incredible that is what we're focused on bringing back.
Sounds desperate. All hopes on Sea of Thieves? Poor Rare. It has been so long since they are allowed to make something non-Kinect and now the pressure is real. But it's just a Phil tweet. He would promise world peace over Twitter if it helps to sell some Xbones.
I mean but, basic logic and perception of grammar means thats the only thing he could mean.
If Ueda said TLG had a start-stop-start then I wouldnt assume the restart was the Shadow of the Colossus HD collection.
But they did announce a new Phantom Dust game at E3 2014, he's saying there it started again
Massively understandable
The marketing it would cost to make this a hot item is probably going to cost more than It took to develop the product. Not happening.I disagree. With proper incentives, marketing and visibility it can be a hot item.
It doesn't make much sense why they would not put atleast some marketing into it, they took the time to bring it back. Nobody goes through that trouble just to sit on their hands. Its a complete waste of money and effort.
Playground Games have talked about forming a second AAA team to create action games. What are the chances Microsoft are funding that project?
You're reaching. In your same link Phil says Rare Replay is a remake.
And the analogy of TLG to SotC is not a good one.
That twitter conversation is missing tweets from the person he's replying to, its not a consecutive chain
But yeah that analogy was pretty shit
It's remaster of an old game, a game that didn't sell well to begin with. And the "remaster" work is really minimal when it comes to graphics https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A8_XXTe66_U
Isn't FPhantom Dust japanese? AutoBomba if so.
Crackdown 3 with halo 6 beta access, it's happening. I hope the beta would be in November or December

He still says Rare Reply is a remake. Read it.
Also my initial response to your link is the valid one
That... That would be stupid. What else would you remaster but the graphics?

I'll take crackdown. I'll definitely take the future GOTY.
I would be happy with a chromehounds 2.
major marketing pushes behind Crackdown/Sea of Thieves and Forza in addition to 100% guaranteed critical acclaim games like cuphead, state of decay 2 and Phantom Dust shows MS can have a capable year if they market them properly
This software will be supplemented by all being run in 4K through Scorpio
I imagine they're getting plenty work from Sony and Namco, also wouldn't be shocked if Japanese developers feel extra cautious right now about signing on with Microsoft after Scalebound.Hell yes. But would From a Software do it?
People should temper their expectations for 2017 games.
Crackdown 3
Sea of Thieves
Halo Wars 2
Forza 6
State of Decay
A few surprise AA games at E3
is a decent line-up for any year. It's only disappointing because we've known about majority of them a long time before hand.
No such thing.
They are committed to it still because they are releasing an HD version.I dunno, its just that ive seen a bunch of "were still committed to Phantom Dust" stuff compared to Fable Legends and B.C. and the like
As opposed to all the other things that got unfortunately gunned down, they seem weirdly enamored with this one (like me!)
So no Halo/Gears for Scorpio, he means?
Crackdown is going to be their Scorpio showcase.
Stop getting peoples hopes up about this. It's just the remaster he's talking about. He confirmed himself. That tweet is fcking nothing.Only one iteration of Phantom Dust got stopped in its development

No exclusives, doesn't mean that there won't be showcase games to show off the extra power. Crackdown will be one of those.Um.... Did I miss a big news beat? I thought Scorpio wasn't getting exclusives, same as the Pro? Why are so many people expressing disappointment about the lack of Halo "for" Scorpio? Surely any Halo that runs on Xbox One will also run on Scorpio, and vice versa? No doubt they'll patch Halo 5 and maybe even the MCC to run at 4k from day one of Scorpio, so why are people specifically upset about the lack of a new Halo for Scorpio, rather than the lack of a new Halo full stop?

Smh
New experiences on different IP.
He doesn't say new IP. Return of Rareware IP?
Woah chief.Friggin' hell calm down? If any speculation of mine is incorrect so be it, but its videogames not speculation about the Holocaust.
It's a quick profitable title.
They are going to p2w model on that. Her comment in the video linked by Chobel about Arsenals being so u can jump online right away? Yeah. Expect a pricetag with that
That would be a shame if its treated that way

Pretty much on point. Personally only looking forward to the "few surprises" and maybe Crackdown 3. They really need to nail their gameplay demo with that one at this E3.People should temper their expectations for 2017 games.
