It's no secret that Microsoft has struggled to make the Xbox brand catch on in Japan, but that's not due to a lack of trying. With the Xbox 360, Microsoft commissioned Final Fantasy creator Hironobu Sakaguchi and his Mistwalker Studio to create JRPG exclusive games for the platform. This included Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey , with the latter being particularly well-received by fans of the genre. With reports of Phil Spencer visiting Japan studios about Xbox Series X games , it seems like a Lost Odyssey sequel could be a great way for the Xbox brand to once again try getting a foothold in the Japanese game mar

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

Unfortunately, Lionhead closed down, taking many hearts along with it. However, prior to the culmination of business, the cancellation of the asymmetrical multiplayer title Fable Legends saw to the loss of popularity to some degree.

Taking star power and prominent, marketable franchises into account, Sny is packing several massive names that are each easy system sellers. Horizon, Spider-Man, God of War , The Last of Us, Ratchet and Clank, Uncharted; these are all series that are offering fresh, interesting concepts that fans are clamoring to see more of, and that's without even mentioning all the currently dormant franchises that Sony could dip its toes back into as w

Rumors have been swirling for quite some time that Microsoft has a brand new Perfect Dark game in development. According to the rumors, the new Perfect Dark will be third-person , and will be at least partially developed by Gears of War studio The Coalition. Whether or not there's any truth to these claims remains to be seen, but it would make sense for Microsoft to take advantage of Perfect Dark 's popularity and leg

It does present a new host of challenges for the game. Fable 's abilities have been dependant on a character's alignment since the beginning, with evil characters getting bonuses to certain abilities and vice versa. The morality system is a defining element of the franchise, and arguably what players associate with it the most. Fundamentally changing it is going to be a difficult task, and one that not all players are going to l

Blizzard revealed Diablo 4 with a very lengthy cinematic that puts the spotlight on the game's main villains and the return to a dark, gothic-inspired tone. In the cinematic trailer, fans witness the villain Lilith summoned, complete with Satantic horns and what appears to be a huge (and disgusting) cape made out of human s

Released on the same day as the hugely underwhelming Assassin's Creedy Unity , Rogue plays like a followup to 2013's Black Flag and feels like an addendum to 2012's Assassin's Creed 3 . Though head and shoulders above some of the less inspired entries in the series, Rogue's world still felt a bit too empty and bland, and it's one of the shortest mainline AC experiences by

That being said, it's a necessary change for a modern title. Ideally, there will be a balance between the old system and the creation of the new one, though, with no game confirmed so far, it's difficult to say what exactly that will look like. Fans may get a decent idea if the game is announced at Xbox's July event, though they'll just have to wait and find

There were also a few details as it pertains to the story, with Albion and Aurora understood to be completely destroyed following the Mad King causing an asteroid to hit the planet by www.adventurejourneyhub.com rebuilding the Spire. A world rebuild is necessary but there is another asteroid on the way, sadly. However, Fable's Theresa and the Heroes Guild managed to survive by going through a demon door, while Jack Blades is set to make a return.

With the arrival of the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X right around the corner, thousands of fans are incredibly excited to see what major new games will be hitting both consoles when they finally make their way to shelves later this year. Geoff Keighley's heavily-hyped Summer Game Fest seems to be the catalyst for both Sony and Microsoft to show off exactly what early-adopters will be able to play on next-generation hardware too, with Xbox announcing it will have a first-party heavy showcase in July and rumors claiming PlayStation will follow suit. And when Xbox takes the stage, Fable 4 needs to lead the
