5 Microsoft Franchises That Need To Return

Zach of B-TEN discusses which classic Microsoft-owned franchises he'd like to see make a comeback on the Xbox One. Including legendary series' such as Age of Empires.

incendy354399d ago

Ha, I had forgotten about Brute Force. Terrible game. Personally I would love to see Kameo make a comeback, I thought that game was so much fun, great character too.

Mech Assault and Crimson Skies were two other games I really enjoyed from their past library.

christocolus4399d ago

Kameo, crimson skies and mech assault couldn't have said it better.

jmac534399d ago

Agreed, came in expecting to see Crimson Skies on that list and was disappointed. I had so much fun with that series, if they announced a new one I would rush out and buy an Xbox One.

Gozer4399d ago

I would add Chromehounds to that list. It was ahead of its time for its unique online MP campaign. It would still hold up today imo. FROM Software is known for their unique takes on online MP. Chromehounds is a feather in their hat imo.

HugoDrax4399d ago

Hahaha I actually finished Brute Force lol. I would like to see KAMEO make a return, I think I have 1000G for that game. I would have to check, but I did finish it some years ago.

Dannyh4399d ago

Agree with your list, also midtown madness and rally sports

MultiConsoleGamer4399d ago

1. Crimson Skies
2. Crimson Skies
3. Crimson Skies
4. Crimson Skies
5. Crimson Skies

Gamer7774399d ago

I just bought that game a few months back. I'm excited to play on my Xbox Original.

ONI54399d ago

What people don't realize is that Crimson Skies did come to 360 in the guise of a Snoopy Flying Ace.

Why o why4399d ago

That game wasnt bad at all. Pity it had to be snoopyfied but it was playable.

Crimson skies...... like ive been saying ALL last gen, that and Otagi I think, ninja demon type game

Gamer7774399d ago

I want to see Conker, Perfect Dark (rebooted)and Mech assault return.

REDBEARD4399d ago

All of RARE franchises need to return.....

...BACK TO NINTENDO! COME BACK HOME! COME BACK HOME!

Spikes14714399d ago

I rather have them stay with Microsoft then Nintendo. I'm not really in for seeing multiple Banjos in 1 year (like Mario). Or Nintendo dying platform, the Wii U.

REDBEARD4399d ago (Edited 4399d ago )

BK games with Nintendo: Diddy Kong Racing, Banjo Kazooie, Banjo Tooie. Classic games under an actual gaming company

BK games with MS: Nuts and Bolts and......... skins for Minecraft?
An underwhelming title under a company who have no business in gaming. (refering to Nuts and Bolts. Minecraft is awesome)

Yeah, the ignorance is worse here than I thought. Don't even get me started with the amount of great games with Nintendo/RARE compared to the so so games with M$/RARE.

I made this comparison before. Like Lex Luthor, MS is obviously not a great ''gaming'' company. DRM and the destruction of RARE is evidence of that. Yet, people still believe they could change. Nintendo wouldn't pump out Banjo like COD like you assume. So you rather have a bad Banjo game (or none) under a non game maker than an actual great game under a developing company who have made excellent critical acclaim games that doesn't grow old in its gameplay functions? Jeez, gamers these days have become truly gullible.

I wish it was the 90s. Yeah, we had fanboys back then. However, we ENJOYED games. We had no worries, and Nintendo fans would share their experiences with the SEGA fans and Sony fans. They would they do the same. Now, the shit has hit the fan. Fans attacking one another and other bullshit. I wouldn't even be like this if it wasn't for M$ destroying one of my favorite developers. One of the only companies that gave me closure when I needed it the most. I do blame Nintendo and RARE themselves, but M$ have done shit to give this company any sort of relevancy in today's market. They were once a powerhouse before like Naughty Dog is now.

You are telling me you wouldn't want to see Banjo Kazooie in Smash Bros. If he was still with Nintendo, he would have been a guaranteed inclusion. Most of his fanbase is with Nintendo. RAREWARE's fanbase is with Nintendo. Look at the sales if you doubt me.

RAREWARE! You will be missed! :(

(f**k this bubble mechanic that N4G have shackled onto our necks. And who in the hell thought the agree and disagree feature would be a great idea. ''Yeah, it is kind way to make you feel like shit'' when fanboys on this pitiful site disagrees with you. LOL)

Simon's Quest is better than Symphony.

djl3485390d ago

If you're gonna troll, at least make a legitimate attempt.

Levii_92391d ago

Hot damn that's a good list. The only one i never played is AOE2 and i never finshed Chrono Trigger but it was damn good.

Speaking of what's old but holds up amazingly well and plays like a dream.. i played Symphony of the Night for the first time in 2019.. yep that's right. It became one of my favourite games of all time that i replay almost every year. I couldn't believe how good it was. That is almost impossible for me with newer games let alone older ones. Truly a special gem.

LG_Fox_Brazil390d ago

That's a pretty fucking great list

__y2jb390d ago (Edited 390d ago )

The only one I’d disagree with is doom. It shows its age badly I think. After 5 minutes of play these days you put it down.

No surprise, Project Latitude is progressing nicely. It was leaked a few months ago this and age of mythology was releasing on ps5 in early 2025. Looking forward to trying both on the Pro.

victorMaje576d ago

Been waiting for age of mythology. Spent so many hours playing it back in the day. Love that game.

Obscure_Observer576d ago

"Looking forward to trying both on the Pro."

That´s weird. I though you were a PC gamer.

pwnmaster3000576d ago

I guess people can’t have options.

ocelot07576d ago (Edited 576d ago )

I I'm? I know you have some mental things going on. But you do know just because I own and play pc games doesn't mean I can't own a playstation or a switch for that matter????

You are the very reason a lot of people would love a block button on here. You are like sweets. Sure reading one or two of your outrageous 52 paragraph outbursts is fun and no harm is done. But just like sweets to much Obscure_Observer knocks you sick.

Abnor_Mal576d ago

People said this game would never appear on PlayStation because it’s an Xbox original game and not from their recent acquisitions.

Obscure_Observer576d ago

Not really an "Xbox original" since the franchise born on PC and it´s mainly a PC game.

Xbox consoles just got a port.

ocelot07576d ago

To be fair, Age of empires appeared on playstation and even Nintendo ds nearly 2 decades before it released on Xbox.
