With All their money, resources and most importantly studios. Hell they even have Xbox publishing to have another studio to do it. Sometimes these things are hard for MS so they need to start with remasters first.

I don't even know if they're capable of doing that considering he's been talking about these franchises for 10 yrs now.

Regardless we all know it won't happen.

I remember when these games came out. Great games but unfortunately that’s what happened having Microsoft as a publisher. They didn’t meet the sales expectations and Hironobu Sakaguchi said he wasn’t interested in a sequel. That was around 18 years ago. Can’t believe it’s been that long already.

Xbox always been a hard sale in the east. Xbox broke 2.35 million sales in Japan in 20 years by 2022. With over half that being the 360 (1.6+ million).

That being said, “IF” Microsoft did get it to happen, they would benefit greatly if it was launched same day for PS5/PS6 and Nintendo Switch 2.

And I'm the King of England...

Nobody asked him about the layoffs?

Lost Odyssey for sure deserves the remastered treatment. Out of everything that has seen a remastered re-release, it's criminal this hasn't been one of them.

Honestly I’m tired of hearing about Phil. Isn’t It Sarah Bond that’s directly running Xbox? The guy needs to step aside and let her take center stage. It’s nice wishful thinking on his part.

I dont believe him

Add Perfect Dark, Fable, Banjo-Kazooie, Viva Pinata, Conker, Jet Set Radio, and MechWarrior as well.

I've already assumed I'll never see these games ever again as bad as Phil manages anything.

ok?

thats not up to him tho.

whoever has ownership over toriyamas designs, is very picky about lending their style to others. so not up to spencer.

Switch 2 edition please!

We just want to see Phil Spencer gone rather than his silly comments.

After layoff he wants more

would love lost Odyssey!!!

So much BS comes out of Phil Spencer. All he ever does is look at past XBox games and make wild promises about them being the future. Phantom Dust, Perfect Dark, Crackdown - how did all those revivals go? Not that he is any better with new games he promotes such as Fable Legends, Scalebound, and Everwild.

He wants to see them revived only to have them canceled during mid-development (i.e. Phantom Dust, Perfect Dark, etc.)

Xbox fans want to see the revival of Xbox.

Slow down big guy……you couldn’t even revive Perfect Dark without killing it. Keep on throwing them bread crumbs out.

this guys just says what he wants at this point

Get these games remastered and bring them to PS5. That's a platform that actually cares about Japanese games.

Indeed. He would love start funding them, release a hype trailer, then cancel the games, and promising that these games being canceled is good for the Xbox ecosystem. 😂

We've seen how Phil Spencer operates. He's done nothing but fail since 2014, I have no faith in anything he says.

I never got to see Lost Odyssey, and I heard it was a fantastic game. As a lover of that genre, I hope I get to see it released on modern consoles at a fair price, I would definitely give it a shot.
