I get the impression that Platinum wasn't in a great position for 2016 releases--license titles aren't easy to begin with, even for the most lauded studios.
Then the rest of your lineup that year are Star Fox titles which...well, that's self-explanatory.
It's certainly a situation you can picture any other smaller studio busy making ends meat/keeping their name out there getting themselves into.
for anyone with EA Access, maybe wait before rushing out and grabbing Dragon Age or either Battlefield title. haven't seen any announcement yet, but the ME trilogy got added straight away so probably best to give it a bit and see what happened this time around.

I wonder if DA:O includes awakening or if that will be forthcoming as well. Those two combined are still my favorite DA games.
Definitely picking up Ghostbusters! I never beat it when it came out, because the horribly unclear autosave icon screwed me over and I shut the game off in the middle of it saving. Looking forward to playing it again and hopefully not corrupting my save this time!
Everyone has a price. Throw enough gold around and someone will risk disintegration.
Fuck yeah, Ghostbusters! Perhaps overlooked that it had some very fun co-op only multiplayer. We should try and organize a few games to help people trying to capture rare ghosts....

That multiplayer was glitched, hence the comments above. Made me avoid diving in.
I've had my XBone back from MS repairs for almost a month and it made that high pitched beeeeeeeep noise again last night >:[
I still have no idea what it is, though this time it was much quieter. If this thing dies again I think I may just give up and try PC gaming for a while. That comes with it's own set of headaches, but at least I wont be without for 3 to 4 weeks anytime something breaks...

They never cancelled Phantom Dust, they just decided not to continue with the people who were working on it, iirc.
i think a lot of people took that as a cancellation though. especially with how little we've heard about it since then. its not something i've been following closely myself.
eh, i'm one of those weird ones that had more fun with Crackdown 2 than i did with the original. either way, we can agree in hoping that 3 is a leap forward for the series.

Nah, they just went dark on it. But they said at the time, it's not cancelled:
...
Microsoft partnered with Darkside Game Studios in the development of 'Phantom Dust,' but our working relationship has now ended," a Microsoft spokesperson said. "We have great respect for their studio and their work in the industry. While we do not have anything new to share on 'Phantom Dust' at this time, we can confirm that development of the title continues. We look forward to sharing more details on the game as we get closer to release."
fair enough. thought their statement from the time was more ambiguous than that, but happy to be proven wrong and hear that there's progress being made on the game. i know a fair few are looking forward to it.
I didn't hate 2 but it was a reskin of the first game with the admittedly awesome wingsuit ability added. The melee combat was a lot more fun in 2 as well, going ham on zombies with a stop sign felt good. Despite that though, i had more fun in the first one and enjoyed the art style of the first more. Bring back the transforming truck!

If they kept it out in the air the narrative surrounding it would have been tainted by Darkside's closure as a result of losing the project and all. Kind of surprised Phil would have mentioned it in a tweet like that, but I guess it's close to being done or some kind of official news will be coming shortly? Or the tweet will be deleted and Streissand'd

“I used to draw, hard to admit that I used to draw...”
Phantom Dust is supposedly hitting this year, but it's sounding like they are literally using the same engine as the original game, just with a prettier skin over it like Halo Anniversary.

he's not shy about mentioning stuff in tweets. it doesn't happen too often, but its not unprecedented. as for when we'll hear more, unless we get a release date for something in the next couple of months then i wouldn't expect any big news till E3.
I'm guessing Phil's Twitter habits are part of his attempts to make the Xbox division feel less like the out-of-touch assholes from the Mattrick era. Speaking plainly to the people, as it were.

yeah, he drops things like that when he can but obviously there are still limits to what he can say. and its not just limited to Xbox stuff, he's happy to give praise to the competition too.
Through one press of the Xbox button on your controller, you’ll be able to pull up the newly enhanced Guide as an overlay on the left side of your screen no matter what you’re doing. In addition, we’re rebuilding the most popular multitasking experiences for speed and ease of access. For example, you’ll be able to start recording your GameDVR clips, adjust your recording length, and access your captures directly in the Guide.
Awesome, hopefully it's a lot smoother than the current sidebar which crashes a lot when taking screenshots and clips.
I've got a question I'm hoping someone here can answer: Can Mega Man 9 & 10 be streamed with the Twitch app on Xbox One?
I have both games, but on the Wii, but being able to stream them natively is the difference between whether I buy them again or not, and I've yet to get a definitive answer.
I wouldn't even ask, but I've learned since I began streaming that some games don't work, apparently at the behest of the publisher. My wife was supposed to stream Castlevania: Symphony of the Night and Mighty No. 9 on two different occasions for USGamer, and we discovered the hard way that they don't work and had to make other plans.
Mega Man Legacy Collection on PS4 streams just fine, so I'm guessing it's likely, but I'd rather have an answer that's more definitive.
Like Mega Man Legends? Then check out my story, Legends of the Halcyon Era - An Adventure in the World of Mega Man Legends on TMMN and AO3!
I don't know what 2/3 of that means, so it's probably a little beyond me right now. If it's external equipment, then I could probably just run it with the versions I have on Wii U, right?

Yeah, they block HDMI signals for certain games, but switchers of certain types can cancel that out. Though, not sure if Twitch itself blocks the games these days, usually they don't care

edit: Also if the MP is still active?
TrueAchievements.com currently has it listed as having 3 'discontinued/unobtainable' achievements. so i'd say that's a no on both counts there.

The soundtrack itself is probably one of the few soundtracks I know by memory, I grew up with Megaman 1, 2 and 3 etc. but X is my absolute favorite.
Seems Capcom has forgotten all about Megaman these days, except for cheap cash ins, namely the ones that doesnt require any actual work to be done.

maybe those worries about Crackdown 3 were a bit premature. and Phantom Dust still being worked in? guess they just gave it to a different team?
i think a lot of people took that as a cancellation though. especially with how little we've heard about it since then. its not something i've been following closely myself.
Very hype for Crackdown 3. 2 was a big let down so hopefully it regains composure.

I thought they canceled doing a from scratch reboot and are just going to uprezz the original Xbox game. I swear I heard that somewhere.
And I'm still positive they just threw Crackdown back in the oven to make a Scorpio launch title.

I imagine they will be released on BC during the last stretch to CD 3 launch.
i've no doubt that they're being worked on. with 3 in the works it would just be silly not to make the first two available.
