There's been rumblings throughout the week, but with no confirmation, that Take Two and Microsoft are brokering a deal that would give Microsoft the resources to resurrect the XSN line of sports games.
XSN was the original first-party sports line for the Xbox brand. The short lived line of sports games ran from 2003 to 2004 with the face of the line being Peyton Manning who was the cover athlete for NFL Fever. Most of the brands established by XSN are now owned by Take Two's 2K and 2K Sports lines.
This could be fun as they make great tables. Go big or go extinct. Prime your senses for a neural handshake and step into the cockpit of a Jaeger. It is on you to cancel the apocalypse when Pacific Rim Pinball comes to Pinball FX on May 16.
Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."
Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.
2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.
While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.
Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.
It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny
Armored Core VI?
Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.
Is something big coming soon to branch the story?
No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).
Not so sure about this rumor... I thought MS getting rid of the XSN was to get EA Sports games onto their system
I hope this is not true... all those games sucked... except TopSpin
and yea the graphics were top notch... but almost unplayable.
never noticed. Mabey EA Sports had something to do with it?
With MS marketing strenght, it would be a good thing for Visual Concept. VC sport games are on par if not better than EA in many cases, but never enjoyed the same level of sales as EA's titles. Take Two was not strong enough to help VC compete with EA. MS can help the flourish.
IMO. 2K sports has always been superior to EA. If 2K was behind the Microsoft branded franchises like NFL fever it could truly bring the Microsoft lineup of Sports franchises to life.
Another highpoint is that the 2K quality games would be exclusive to the Xbox brand. It could really drive sails of the 360. I am sure that there are a lot of fans of 2K sports games in the gaming community.
