I think Microsoft smashed it with this showcase. It wasn't perfect, personally as much as I love Atlus - there was a bit too much from them and also I thought Avowed looked disappointing. But besides that it really showed the pay off is coming. New IPs, old IPs, also more opportunity with what they obviously chose not to show (gears for example). They must have been super happy with the reaction to the Sony showcase!
I am looking forward to this. I never managed to play the original and although it's been getting some critique for not modernising that's what I want to experience!
@ZuneTattooGuy So what I mean by IP is more about series - so yes there are games like psychonauts and grounded which are great but they are only one (2 with a huge gap for psychonauts). Big big IPs for Microsoft at the moment are really just Forza, gears, halo... Maybe fable at a push but we haven't had that for years.
I think yes and no. Microsoft doesn't have that many diverse IPs (yet) to compete with Sony (for example). And you have certain studios that seem to be stuck as the Halo or Gears studio. So I'd love to see more creativity - whether through spin offs or new interesting IPs, either is fine. Maybe give them room for a new IP while someone else goes after a spin off?
