After Microsoft’s decision not to bother with HD remixes of original Xbox games, we’ve decided it’s actually the right thing to do, and here’s why
With the PS5 offering Demon's Souls, here's some dormant franchises that should be brought back for the Xbox Series X|S.
GB: "It does seem that with BioWare being in the spot that they are, where their last two major releases haven’t exactly lived up to expectations, perhaps a big shift in direction is just what the doctor ordered to inject themselves with a new surge of energy and start to turn the page just in time for the new decade. It’s tough to say at this point, but with the Jade Empire trademark being suspended as of April of last year, I wouldn’t suggest anybody start holding their breath for anything major for this game just yet."
You should be asking where their talent went first
Spoilers most of them left the company already
They've addressed this before, Microsoft owns the IP and its upto them but its better to leave it then make a sequel. The OGs have a new studio and are working on a Sci-Fi game for next gen
They're to busy trying to keep Anthem alive and I doubt EA will fire up an old ip. And on top of that if they did make the game it will probably be as bad as ME Andromeda since most of the talent is gone now leave it to EA to wreck a good company.
Player 2's Matt Hewson looks at five games from his past that seem to have been forgotten by the masses and perhaps deserve a second look.
Well to be fair MS themselves don't have a bunch of IP's from last gen to re-make in HD, but if they released Halo CE and Fable i'd buy them day 1.
I don't think there is anything stopping 3rd parties from bringing franchises back in HD on the X360 but I think it has something to do with DVD size restraints and them not wanting to pay royalties on 2 discs when they would only have to be paying Sony for the 1 blu-ray. This is just what i gather from all the info out there though.
@boing
Yes but I imagine the reason the PoP isnt releasing on xbox is because they would need more than 1 dvd for it and they prolly don't want to pay the extra royalties. As for MK I am surprised it's not releasing on the Xbox as well but I guess for some reason they're not doing it.
Whats your point though, I take it you are just trolling in a sense. Yea Sony doesn't own the IP to those games but that has nothing to do with this...I was just saying MS isn't doing HD remakes because they don't have a lot of IP's to really do them for. I mean whats stopping 3rd parties from re-releasing those games on Xbox?
HD remakes are great because they allow me to buy games that i either missed last gen or haven't got anymore. nobody should have a problem with hd remakes because they are cheap and nobody is forced to make them. microsoft wont bother doing them because they are spending their whole budget for new games on kinect.
