I'd prefer a Code Veronica remake to be honest.

@Link41x I agree to an extent but I think to most modern gamers Ninja Gaiden is a franchise associated with Xbox. I had the original on NES but the modern and past games are completely different things in my mind.

Well that's a kick in the nuts! I know I'm in the vast minority but I loved Ninja Gaiden 3 and Razor's Edge. NG Black and NG 2 are some of my favourite ever and the combat hasn't aged a day in my eyes. I've owned pretty much every version of each game on all platforms and was really hoping for a new game in the series. A trilogy release with original 3 and Sigma/RE versions included would be a day one preorder for me.

@uptownsoul It's whose, not who's.

It absolutely should be a console exclusive.

@KelticDevil I completely agree that devs should be allowed to make what it wants. A new Banjo game would sell like absolute hotcakes and with the resurgence of interest in games like Crash and Spyro I think it could be a genuine system seller. And Conker to a lesser extent. I also think that a Blast Corps remake/sequel would be amazing with current gen technology. And yes, the Kinect s*** still upsets me too. It's also depressing that the initial game is their biggest selling game.

@KelticDevil I have played their games since the N64 and they've been lukewarm at best. Nobody bought an Xbox for Sea of Thieves regardless of how much of a 'hit' it was. Rare have a ton of IP that people would buy an Xbox for and it seems massively stupid to ignore that. If Rare don't want to make games for their own IP then Microsoft should step in and farm them out to other 1st party studios as they did with Killer Instinct and now Perfect Dark. For a console that's perceived to have a lack of strong exclusive titles compared to the competition, it's baffling.

@xMightyMatt14x Agreed. Anything at this point would be welcome. Personally I'd love them to do a complete overhaul of one of their older franchises like Jet Force Gemini or Blast Corps.

@xMightyMatt14x I'm talking about Rare.

@NEStalgia I just don't understand why they have such a low output. It seems crazy.

@xMightyMatt14x They just seem to have a ridiculously low output these days. It makes me sad.

I love the series and I'm really excited for this reboot. WTF are Rare up to these days though??? They still make games right?

I had and Elite, S and still have my E model. Amazing system with so many wonderful games.

I'm planning to get both the X and S. I'll keep my S in a separate room to play all my digital games and Gamepads. My X will be in the living room with all my lovely discs.

One of my favourite consoles ever. It was such a powerhouse at the time and some of the console exclusive games looked and sounded incredible. How they got Doom 3 and Half Life 2 running and looking so amazing is still baffling to me.

That's just ridiculous. Hopefully this won't happen too frequently or Microsoft really will have a job on their hands not confusing the hell out of consumers.

@pip_muzz I completely agree. An amazing fighting game and one that doesn't get anywhere near the attention it deserves.

Red Ninja on Xbox.

Microsoft want subscribers to their services. The best way to do that is have games that you can only play on Xbox.

That's why the PS4 smashed Xbox One out of the park in comparative sales.

That's why Switch beat Xbox One lifetime sales within a couple of years.

People buy systems or sign up to subscriptions because of the exclusives.

If Microsoft do anything other than make games exclusive to Xbox moving forward, then they're very foolish.

@KelticDevil Completely agree. His lie about 'We believe in generations' to then say 'Oh by the way all these games are coming out on PS4'. What a fool.

@redd214 Don't you?

@redd214 Sonic 1, 2, 3 and CD are AMAZING games.

Team Sonic Racing was great but not a patch on Sonic and All-stars Transformed. Sonic Forces was awful. Sonic Mania was amazing and beautiful but Sonic Generations and Sonic Colours would be fantastic additions to this list.

Apple need to be held to account over their poor practices. The US won't do anything under the ridiculous idiot Tr**p.

It needed to be delayed. Here's hoping it isn't too far into 2021.

This should have been ready for launch but from the last reveal it clearly wasn't. I'd rather they delay it to make it better rather than release it in a shoddy state and then patch the hell out of it. I also think without COVID19 this would probably have been good to go at launch.

I really hope this is better by launch.

@NEStalgia I agree that people are expecting too much of a leap forward but this wasn't even close to being a leap forward. The performance levels shown took steps backwards in a lot of people's opinion. Pop in, identical assets and bland textures are things we shouldn't have to to deal with on a console launching in 2020. There are games that have been available for years that perform without these problems. No excuses.

@BlueOcean There are many, many current gen games that perform better than Halo Infinite. There are no excuses for the kind of issues I mentioned. I wasn't expecting a massive leap forward this gen but this has actually gone backwards.

The lighting was really poor. The pop in was unacceptable. The trees and foliage were identical models copy and pasted across the world. None of this should be happening for a flagship, first party title. I'm sure the game will still be fun to play but those are some worrying signs after a 5 year, multimillion dollar development schedule.

@Jaxx420 Agreed it won't ruin things but 60fps should be standard by now. Microsoft keep shouting about Series X reaching up to 120fps so it's perfectly reasonable to expect more from this.

@Jaxx420 Exactly what I thought. It gave me instant flashbacks of buying the first game on Xbox way back when.

They're both not great. PS5 looks really cheap but Xbox looks way too busy. Optimised For Series X doesn't need to be that big and seems to be randomly thrown onto the box.

I loved this game on Xbox. This version seems to have lost some of the comic book charm by upping the resolution and polygon count. Fingers crossed it plays as good as the original.

Original Xbox for me. It was the first time since the Super Nintendo that I was genuinely astonished by a console. It was as a console that truly innovated. Just like Nintendo's best.

@teknium_ Yes they announced the event on Friday and cancelled it yesterday.

@Richnj I think I'm one of those people you seem to be referring to. I completely abhor the situation that's happened/is happening in America right now.

I do however question the motivation behind the cancellation. Questioning that isn't disgusting behaviour at all so calm down.

I just want something simple and clean.
