Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge is one of the most highly-regarded original Xbox exclusives, offering impressive visuals, a compelling single-player campaign, and a multiplayer mode that was one of the first games to really take advantage of Xbox Live’s online multiplayer capabilities. Unfortunately, it’s been 17 years since the launch of Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge , and besides the game being playable on Xbox One through the Xbox backward compatibility program , it hasn’t received much attention from Microsoft. Needless to say, many fans would be happy to see a next-gen take on Crimson Skies that could take advantage of modern graphics and gameplay featu
Capcom is expected to make a new game announcement at the show, and while a new Dino Crisis is not the likeliest scenario, many are clamoring for another entry in the survival horror action-adventure franchise. Capcom’s E3 2019 announcement will have the final say on the matter, but the company has expressed interest in returning to this franchise in the p
Seemingly inspired by the likes of Rocket League , Roller Champions is reportedly a derby-themed multiplayer sports game that Ubisoft will reveal at E3. Leaks seem to give this game a solid amount of credibility, but this is still best taken as a rumor. Ubisoft has yet to acknowledge its existence, which could easily be taken one way or another, so tuning into Ubisoft’s E3 2019 press conference is likely the best way to see if this rumor is t
Another title likely to appear at Ubisoft’s press conference is Watch Dogs Legion , with rumors also alleging that Watch Dogs 3 will be set in London and release later this year . Leaks have also indicated that there will be no lethal combat and that players will be taking on the role of a counter-terrorist operative named Sarah. Of course, this could all be the workings of the internet, so until Ubisoft shows its hand, players are left wait
Conker’s Bad Fur Day was a cult classic on the Nintendo 64, notable for pushing its M for Mature rating to the limit. The game was vulgar and violent, but also quite good, with a fun story and addicting multiplayer modes. Since then, Conker has largely been relegated to obscurity, getting a graphical update on the original Xbox and being featured in episodic format for the canceled Project Spark . Similarly to Banjo-Kazooie , Microsoft has seemingly refused to take proper advantage of Conker and the popularity of the IP, but hopefully that changes with a proper Conker’s Bad Fur Day sequel on Xbox Serie
It’s true that Rare largely struggled to produce compelling experiences since Microsoft’s acquisition in 2002, but one exception is Viva Pinata . A bizarre take on the life-simulation genre, Viva Pinata sees players raising and breeding living pinatas while completing a variety of objectives. Noted for its eye-catching art style and quirky humor, Viva Pinata spawned sequels and even its own television series. A new Viva Pinata could fill a niche on the Xbox Series X and appeal to the more casual gamers out th
From Software’s next game is rumored to be titled Great Rune, and comes as a result of a collaboration with A Song of Ice and Fire writer George R. R. Martin. It’s rumored to feature three different playable characters set in the backdrop of a 100-year civil war, and recently discovered game files of Sekiro suggest Great Rune is a legitimate rumor . From Software is allegedly announcing this game at E3 2019, but if so and to what extent is currently in the
When the original Fable was in development, the game’s director Peter Molyneux talked about his plans for the game, which at the time was codenamed Project Ego. The main idea was that players would pick up the controller on a 15-year-old whose parents were killed, and in a journey of revenge, players would guide their avatar through an RPG experience shaping their avatar from a teenager to an adult with total freedom of their path. Their avatar would grow up along with the world—there was a famous example that players could plant an acorn as a child and then see it grow into a tree by adulthood—and eventually have to save the entire world on their journey. It was a lifelong pursuit, with players raising up a character from childhood all the way to old
An Xbox 360 launch title, Kameo: Elements of Power was essentially Rare’s take on The Legend of Zelda franchise. The game was popular enough for its time, but like many Rare IP, has since been abandoned. A Kameo sequel could expand on what Rare established with the original game, while also addressing its faults and delivering a generally higher-quality Adventure game reviews. Microsoft doesn’t really have a Legend of Zelda -equivalent exclusive for Xbox, but it could very well use the Kameo franchise to fill that v
A rebooted Fable that returns the franchise to the fantasy world of its first entry allows the developer to turn back the clock on the series for a true reboot. It also helps Fable stay in that Breath of the Wild territory while letting Fable excel with its own unique style and tone for which it is kn
