The Xbox 360 was launched at the end of 2005, quite some time ago, but a lot has changed since we first snapped up our original console.
"Back in the innocent days of 2010, A World of Keflings was a fairly popular successor to A Kingdom for Keflings. I even wrote about it a few times in 2012! But the world of humans moved on, and NinjaBee's city-building/adventure game was last seen on the ill-fated Wii U in 2014. Fast-forward to the dark year of 2025, and not only is A World of Keflings coming to Steam, but there's already a playable demo! Perhaps the cheerful, no pressure gameplay that the Keflings bring is just what we need nowadays," says Co-Optimus.
It's been officially over 2,500 days since The Elder Scrolls 6 was revealed, and fans are still waiting for more than a logo and a mountain range.
It will come out in another 1000-2000 days or so. I’d rather they remake Morrowind. After they added quest arrows, sprint button, making stats lesser and the big nerfs to spells Elder Scrolls has been too simplified. They could change that with ES6 but I don’t have much faith in modern Bethesda. I would love to be wrong
Xbox Game Studios' Halo: Combat Evolved Remake is reportedly planned to release in late 2026 to celebrate 25 years of Xbox.
No official update on anything?
They replaced studio leadership
They changed the studio name
They announced the change to UE5
... all while supporting Infinite
The support to Infinite isn't what it originally should have been but they've still been providing tons of official updates over the years, and as recently as two months ago added a brand new weapon.
I think remaking Halo Combat Evolved, and going to 2 and 3 again, will help give the studio an idea of how to make a Halo game feel like Halo again
Infinite did feel like Halo, that's not what the complaints were...
The complaints were almost literally everything else. Monetization, netcode and desync, the campaign structure, story, and single biome, the weaker-than-expected post-launch content.
Dev times in modern days 4 years of silence isn't unheard of when things are running smoothly.
And around 6 months ago 343 did show a tech demo of ue5 using halo assets so it's not radio silence.
Given all the shake ups i am more surprised we're getting anything next year at all.
They coulda started with Halo 3 remake ... I know Halo CE remaster was not proper with the art style but still, remaking after a remaster seems dull, when Halo 3 and Reach have started to show some age.
Yeah I hate they used Halo reach artstyle. Hope this remake feel authentic yet fresh
Probably the simplest to work around with. They are reportedly doing it in UE5, so its just as much an Anniversary thing, as its probably the studio getting familiar and setting up their tools and processes in the engine with an actual game, to facilitate the development of the next Halo
I'm guessing combat evolved has a smaller scope in general the later half of the game features a ton of backtracking and reused assets making it a easier game to remake on a deadline
Its also a better choice if this is the first game to be multiplatform mind you I think it's pretty much a given that anyone with a passing curiosity has played this by now in some way be it pc or brought a used console for a few bucks
I would love to see Lost Odyssey come over to PS5. I would definitely buy that again. That was the first game that I played on my 360. Loved the story and battle system. One of the best JRPGs of all time in my opinion.
You know it's time for the next gen once you see these types of articles.
R.I.P. Current Gen.
When I bought my 360 in November 2005, I did not expect all the things it actually offered.
Back then, it was just logical that GTA, Resident Evil, Tekken, Final Fantasy, Metal Gear Solid or Devil May Cry were Playstation exclusives. I haven't even heard of VoD, which is a very good alternative to disc format movies. I still own and buy DVDs / BluRays, but VoD is another welcome addition. Especially for movies I am not sure if they are good.
Now TV series are finally available in Germany as well. I will buy a couple of seasons later.
XBLA turned out to be awesome as well. I can even watch the Bundesliga on my Xbox, which is just awesome.
Xbox 360 offered way more than I anticipated in 2005. Heck, beack then I had to explain to a couple of non-nerd-friends, what HDTV actually is.
I just hope NextGen can get out of the generic FPS games and move back into introduction new original IP's
When I bought an xbox 360 I liked it for its gaming and its community on games.
Now I turn it on and I look at all the useless tacked on shit that was already available on my PC anyway e.g youtube, netflix etc and I question wether or not MS is really about the games or are they just trying to basically turn the 360 into a restricted PC they can control and set the rules for pricing on (MS points) and the answer is yes, yes they are just trying to make the xbox into an entertainment hub and some may like that but I as a gamer do not because they have forgotten the core fundamental of an xbox, a gaming console.
