Its a joke that Battletoads haven't appeared in anything for 20 years only for them to cameo in Shovel Knight and Killer Instinct and star in Rare Replay in less than a year.
Shago is still season 1 revamp and he is on the way before Season 3. By the sounds of it Gargos and Eyedol aren't returning. Guest is written in plural implying more than just Rash.
MS haven't shied away from new IP this gen. They either made or published: Ryse, Crimson Dragon, Lococyle, Powerstar Golf, Project Spark, D4, Sunset Overdrive, Kalimba, ScreamRide, Ori and the Blind Forest with Scalebound, Quantum Break, ReCore, Sea of Thieves and Below on the way.
Suggesting Scalebound is a good start seems a little late.
Some of these comments are painfully ignorant. Gears didn't go to the conference, Forza had a short showing, Fabl...
"Although Microsoft, Activision (current owners of the game rights to the James Bond franchise)and Nintendo were said to have agreed upon a licensing deal for the title initially, Nintendo Japan allegedly refused to grant their permission at last minute. Therefore the remake had to be canned only months before completion."

For all those interested definitely pick up RAAM's Shadow dlc for Gears 3. Getting to play the game from the legendary General's POV is great.
*Undoubtedly
Can't wait to hear Sam Lakes broken English. Love his voice. :)
I'm scared GAF may crash when they have to concede that the XBO has a 10/10 Kamiya exclusive.
I doubt this will be Xbox exclusive. Team Ninja's relationship with Microsoft is non-existent now.
Look into Rare's Microsoft history. They had a ridiculous number of projects/prototypes cancelled through lack of direction or Microsoft not wanting to continue development when they were bought. Thats when they dropped all development in favour of Kinect they managed to refocus and ship games that sold really well, excluding Rivals.
The list of cancelled games/prototypes: Banjo Kazoomie/Banjo Karting, Kameo 2, The Fast and the Furriest, Urchin, Quest, Sabreman Stampede,...
To be fair Harrison had exceptionally high praise for Sea of Theives before we knew what it was when he left.
At this point the current faces of Halo for me are Josh Holmes, Frank O'Connor, Dan Ayoub, Tojima Satoru, Kiki Wolfkill and Bonnie Ross. Not complete diversity but a better than average mix.
Exactly this. I expect its the same reason Yu Suzuki took Shenmue to kickstarter. Complete control over it.
No because this is just allowing Capcom to live off nostalgia. So do something new. You've given us Resident Evil HD, DmC, Devil May Cry 4 Special Edition with Resident Evil 0 and Mega Man collection on the way. Drop development on Dragons Dogma online (Sorry) and seriously reconsider Deep Down. Since it was announced over 2 years ago and development sounds very troubled.
Street Fighter V looks like a step in the right direction.
Vanguard led development on Spartan Assault with 343 providing soundtracks, lore and general story. 343i is first party though, obviously, as is Press Play.
Bladestorm Nightmare Complete edition xD. Honestly, if it isn't Ni-Oh I'd be surprised. It was confirmed to be in development as of August 14 and had the US trademark filed.
Spartan Assault isn't developed by Microsoft and is a just a Halo spin off series. It first launched before the Xbox One was even revealed.
Max is infact 5 years old and first launched with WiiWare title Max and the Magic Marker in 2010.
You did miss Press Play's other Xbox One game out though: Kalimba. A fun puzzle game where you control 2 characters with one input.
I can't say much but Press Play are definitely experimenting wit...
I wouldn't hold my breath for Lift London. I've been following them very closely and they sound like a studio with a lack of direction.
Looks more like Joel from The Last of Us.
Ensemble did something truly brilliant last gen. In a genre that is hard to innovate in. Yes it was a little wonky on balance but it doesn't hide the fact that it was a great deal of fun to play. Setting up 3 10 star Cobras as the opponent tries to rush with scorpions or dropping 40 ODST's into the back of someones base.
