During the Blue Dragon meeting at GDC it was revealed that the first downloadable content for the game was going to be a random dungeon creator. Today, Microsoft announced that this content update would be ready to go live on April 27th. The download will cost 300 Microsoft points, which is $3.75.
Disc 1 of Xbox Game Studios' 2006 role-playing game, Blue Dragon, has been decompiled, and a native PC port is now available.
I've been wanted to revisit the game in the back of my mind for years and this is big. There's still a good handful of 360 games locked to the system I'd love to see now that the seal is broken on decompiling these games.
Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer would like to see the revival of Xbox's Blue Dragon, Lost Odyssey Crimson Skies, and more.
What these games need are remasters and to modern platforms. They're all unfortunately stuck on the 360.
They are available on series x as well. But would be nice to get them out even wider.
Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon and FFXIII Trilogy is actually the only reason I still have my Series X.
Because Phil and team seem to enjoy going to websites and forums to see what fans are discussing and wanting, to earn good faith points with post like this while they continue to offer the bare minimum.
Remastered and remake games are lame... A gigantic "we don't know how to evolve original thoughts" from dev teams cashing in on old ip.... Make new stuff or gtfo.
no remasters and remakes provide those games to new audiences and improve the look/gameplay
Then…remaster / remake them
🤷🏻♂️
After renewed interest you can get Mistwalker to do a sequel to Lost Odyssey
I had it all wrong...Blue Dragon is awesome!
I bought this game a couple of days ago, along with Lost Odyssey, while they're on sale in the Xbox Store. I never had a 360 back in the day so I missed out on these games, so I'm glad that I'll finally be able to try them out soon on my Series S.
Yep, Blue Dragon, Lost Odyssey, and Gears of War were my favorite 360 games back when they first released.
no doubt. To this day it baffles me when this game gets hate. Sure it wasn't as epic as Lost Odyssey, but in it's own right it was a great game.
Lost Odyssey is one of the best jrpgs of that era but got killed because it was bought up and released on the "wrong" console.
Is there a chance that Lost Odyssey will be released on PS5? I really want to play it and Blue Dragon, too.
Great game. The 360 had some really good turn based games back in the day. Absolutely loved Lost Odyssey too. I think they are both Sakaguchi creations.
Correction. Both Blue Dragon & Lost Odyssey (as well as Infinite Undiscovery) started off as in-house developed projects that went third party after MS killed off their Japanese development studios.
Doesn't really have anything to do with what I said though 😂 Sakaguchi wrote them both
This game together with Lost Odyssey, The Last Remenant and Tales of Vesperia convinced me to buy a 360. This game made my 2007 which ended off with mass effect.
Honestly, a fantastic game, especially if you were a fan of old-school JRPGs. I hate that this genre rarely can come back to these roots.
Can I get a Woot people?
i like this alot i miss games like this
Random dungeons creator? Oh yeah I'm liking this ^^
They haven't even released the game and mentioning already having a content download. I realize companies have been doing this, but to publicly announce that your doing this. Before the game is even released! Why wouldn't they just insert this into the game before they release it? I don't really understand the whole point of content download unless it's work that has been done after the game has been released.
The games already on 2 DVD9's, and the random dungeons are probably going to take up a good chunk of space per dungeon.
It may be getting released as DLC in order to ensure you have a HD available for the random dungeons.
