I think people should just move on from the MC launch debacle. It has been 2.5 yrs, the game(s), work pretty well, not perfect, but serviceable.
I assume all or most of the Microsoft owned OG Xbox games will be added. Also, I think the publishers that support 360 BC, will support OG xbox BC. Licensed and peripheral likely won't be backwards compatible.
Chloe is white-Australian/ Indian and her hair is black. Chloe, somewhat resembles Gears of War's Samantha Bryne (who is also voiced by Claudia Black), and has a similarly snarky personality. Lara is an explorer and researcher. While, Chloe, is a professional criminal, that happens to adventure around the globe.
Supporting the PS4Pro, is more so up to 3rd parties than Sony. There are numerous companies that don't even properly optimize for base PS4 hardware (and other platforms). We shouldn't realistically expect all studios to support PS4Pro (or XB1X).
Yet Ninja Gaiden/Ninja Gaiden Black was created for the OG Xbox, and is considered one of the hardest 6th gen games.
COD has declined? Yes it has, but the franchise stills sells a ton of copies. Even infinite Warfare, which had a big sales drop from BLOPs 3, was still the best selling game in the USA for 2016. I personally haven't gotten deep into a COD game since BLOPs 2, but other people still like the games.
This isn't too shocking if true, especially when you consider the following:
1. Activision owns Crash not Sony
2. Crash has been multi-platform since the PS2/GC/XB era.
3. There is no " only on PlayStation" stamp on the box.
From what I've personally played.
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
Call of Duty: Black Ops 2
Call of Duty: World at War
Call of Duty: Black Ops
Call of Duty 2
Call of Duty 2: Big Red One
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3
Call of Duty: Black Ops 3
Call of Duty: Ghosts
Personally, I am not fond of BLOP3, MW3 and Ghosts. And I likely won't buy another...
I have only played the campaigns of BF4 and 1. I found those campaigns to be very weak. Consistently, I have heard, that Bad Company 1 and 2 have solid campaigns.
You seem to be forgetting how poorly Halo games would often run when the screen was split 4 times. Two player split screen should be the target.
Maybe it would of been better for me, to state, that " I don't find COD, Battlefield or Battlefront, to be very competitive".
Games that rely on skill-gap compression, and unlocking guns,perks, etc, in my opinion, aren't competitive.
I would never call Battlefront a competitive multiplayer game. I personally don't consider Battlefield and Call of Duty, to be competitive games either.
The general trend is that games take longer to make with each passing generation.
Shangheist was never in full developement. The wind physics from Shangheist, were reused for Gears 4. In 3 years, The Coalition managed to produce both Gears UE and 4. Implying that the studio can do 2 projects at once.
I have been playing some OG Xbox games on and off. I noticed that some games, when widescreen are sub 16:9. I don't think achievements or full widescreen (if it wasn't initially present), should be expected. I do, however, think some of MS owned OG Xbox games will receive some upgrades. Kind of like how some 360 backwards compatible games, received direct patches.
Phil Spencer kept touting, that he would invest more into MS first party for years. However, this year's E3 contradicted that statement. I also don't like that Phil likes to tease old ips. The only game that really peaked my interest at Xbox's E3 conference, was Ori and The Will of The Wisps. Ori deserved a sequel, and glad the game is getting one. However, many of Microsoft's unused IPs deserve another chance. Then again things take time, and games are taking longer and long...
The reason why MS is relying so much on these timed (or full) indie/AA exclusive, is likely because Phil Spencer spent the first party funds on producing the XB1X. The Xbox One fan-base, would probably be more supportive of AA (or AAA) Conker, Banjo, Battletech, Perfect Dark, Crimson Skies, Fable, etc games than Super Lucky's Tale, and the other 2 dozen random indies shown at E3.
Aside: Does that Fox look like the product of Tails and Conker doing the fusion dance to a...
He is likely confusing COD with Medal of Honor.
The problem is that the Halo community is not satisfiable. The community has been divisive since Halo 2. They complain about the newest entry non-stop, until the next Halo is released. The newest Halo, whether it be 2,3,4,5 or Reach, is perceived as being 'terrible', 'tras'h, 'garbage', etc, by the most vocal and angry community members.The Halo community likes to be pride Halo for changing. Yet bashes changes made to the games when they occur.
