E3 2014 for Microsoft and the Xbox One is shaping up to be a blockbuster event. Gamers know a new Halo is coming, but what about the return of some franchises like Banjo Kazooie, Alan Wake, and Forza Horizon?
Remedy has released its financial statement for the first quarter of 2024, and despite strong sales, Alan Wake 2 has yet to recoup its development costs.
Lol. I imagine there's still alot of people that buy physicals. Or atleast see what kind of new games are out by what they see in real stores. This is on them. Idda paid 70 day one physical. Now I won't pay more then 15 for it
Remedy has made a couple of changes to its core management team with the goal to grow Alan Wake and Control into larger franchises.
Changes like not being anti consumer? putting out Alan Wake Remastered on disc but not the sequel?
With path-traced diffuse lighting and reflections even the mighty RTX 4090 can't hit 60 FPS at 4K without frame generation.
Alan Wake 2 will make me weep that I probably won't ever own an Xbox One. Alan Wake was easily my favorite game last gen.
I doubt Banjo 3 because they just cancelled the spiritual successor a little while ago.
I really hope Halo 5 isnt pushed to 2015. That would maje me sad. I really want to try Halo in 60 FPS.
Alan Wake 2! YES PLEASE!
Banjo Kazooie 3! YES PLEASE!
I also wouldn't mind a Viva Pinata 3 as well.
It's definitely going to be Halo 2 HD announced for Fall 2014.
I'll be buying Forza Horizon 2 as I loved the first one! As for a new Banjo, I could take it or leave it, they'd really have to wow me to get to buy it.
I think we will see an official price cut announced at E3, I don't see why not? MS keeps saying they're in it to win it, well that's what they're going to have to do to have a chance at all to win this console generation.
Now, my mind will explode if Alan Wake 2 is announced, but I doubt that will happen this year (maybe, hopefully, next year.) Oh and it's my belief we will see a Battletoads HD remake based on the arcade game, which was actually pretty violent, but tons of fun! I also think a Battletoad character will show up in the 2nd season of Killer Instinct because the new devs are just crazy enough to do this!
