If it's Toys For Bob, it'll be the Banjo-Kazooie: Re-Jiggied Trilogy first, then Banjo-Fourie. I don't know how Moon would make it work since they've only done 2 side-scrollers & a top-down game.
Called it. HB2 is STILL 30FPS over a year later so they had to be waiting to push the patch alongside the port. Sad that Xbox gamers have to wait so long for 1st-party games to be at current standards just for them to be multiplat so PS gamers get to experience 60FPS day 1. Hopefully the enhanced update has us remove the movie bars so I can start my 2nd playthrough.
Why not patch & port the Ultimate Edition? Reloaded feels a little unnecessary for Xbox.
Also imagine having to go for SERIOUSLY 1.0 for the 3rd time...
@RZ-Atom You'd think they wouldn't care now that Team Green's porting everything to PS & Switch 2, but bruh, those comments have such massive hate boners for anything Microsoft it's childish.
@Kaloudz Eventually yes but SH1 is still locked on the PS1 and should be remade first. Also, the G in Project G is speculated to stand for Gillespie (SH1 antagonist) & Project H to stand for Heather (SH3 MC).
@Godot25 @Banjo- 505 still owns the publishing rights to the first game (for PC) and since tomorrow is the 5th anniversary, I reckon they're getting it out now cuz of expired contracts. Now the second game is locked down cuz it's fully published by Sony.
After watching the teaser, I thought that they're pulling a 'Jumanji Movie' genderswap for Mamoa's character. but reading the plot and seeing that he's "The Garbage Man", kinda creepy 1st impression for the Minecraft film. Plus swearing in the line is indeed a choice.
@S1ayeR74 A long time. Last year Horizon 1, 2 and F&F shut down after nearly a decade. Online for Horizon 3 and Motorsport 5+6+7 is "still active", albeit quite shoddy as of late.
@Sol76 @Lucylu1983 @Aidax89 I think the official messaging said that you needed a fully paid GP subscription, I used the 3-year GP loophole so I think that's why I didn't get a code.
Forza Horizon 3 - Hot Wheels. The most fun I've ever had in a DLC back as a kid, It and Blizzard Mountain makes FH3 my favorite game of all time. Other highlights include the Sunset Overdrive expansions, the GTA4 Episodes + Undead Nightmare.
Pretty lame bundle honestly. No Vault Boy/Girl, Ghoul or even Bottle & Cappy operator skins makes this a huge miss. Having T-51 Power Armor as a Juggernaut skin similar to the Warhammer crossover would've been nice to see too.
Yeah, I'm holding off until it's inevitably patched along with 60fps. Like c'mon, if Starfield gets 60fps, so can Hellblade 2!
Also screw this "cinematic" BS, YOU ARE MAKING A GAME! YOU ARE CATERING TO GAMERS!! MOST OF US DON'T CARE ABOUT THESE HANDICAPS!!!
I hands down think they're doing this as TGA bait cuz journalists will eat it up anything artsy. I really really would like to play AAA games at launch again, but they'll never be finished at launch anymore it seems.
The only CoD I haven't played in the Pre-WarZone Era is Infinite Warfare. I hear only great things about the campaign and I never hated the advanced movement so I'll touch it the instant it's on GP.
Fingers crossed for 🤞Big Red One🤞 & 🤞Finest Hour🤞
The ABK floodgates really needs to burst next month. They shouldn't wait till Keigh3 to dump the rest. I'm begging them to drop the Crash & Spyro trilogies ASAP.
Will this mean that the gravity hammer is gonna go back to normal? I'm tired of bonking dudes on the forehead and not even draining their shields, yet when they do the same, they cross-map my team along with erasing my entire family's lineage.
But hey, at least no more getting shot behind corners!!
With how 505 poorly handled the Ultimate Edition, this is stellar news. Remedy now owns both IPs in the 'REMEDY-VERSE', though Quantum Break is still canon in my heart.
It's sweet to see it (and apparently MFS'24) coming to Xbox day 1.
NO MORE SKIPPING YOUR OWN CONSOLE!!
Hoping Ara heads over after launch. Though is there a reason as to why AoE3 never came? (I know that AoE1 is DLC for AoE2)
Well, at least I'll be able to platinum Sea of Thieves on PlayStation (screw those legacy Arena achievements).
I'll stick to everything else on Xbox. For me, it feels better to play games on their released platforms (Halo on Xbox, Helldivers on PlayStation etc.), I still have that traditional console mindset.
Fear not everyone, Team Green has heard us and they are listening to our concerns and are actively planning on launching more 1st-party games to other systems to combat this situation.

Re: Rumour: Halo 1 Remake/Remaster Started Development In 2023, May Not Include Multiplayer
I call bullcrap. Didn't we just go over this with Gears last month, which turned out to be false? Halo ain't dropping its staple multiplayer.
Re: Rumour: Multiple Studios Interested In Making New Banjo-Kazooie Game

Re: DOOM Co-Creator Has Funding Pulled For AAA Title, Seemingly By Xbox
Microsoft is the one making us their bitch now.
Re: Xbox's Matt Booty Issues Statement On Layoffs And Game Cancellations
Matt Ass next week will be like "We need MORE AAAA blockbuster experiences for our Xbox portfolio!" or some s***.
Re: Two More Xbox Games Are Being Cancelled, Including Perfect Dark
@fbnaulin I'm praying more for Clockwork Revolution. Kinda like with Perfect Dark at last years showcase, lots of gameplay & no release date.
Re: Xbox's Everwild Reportedly Cancelled As Layoffs Hit Sea Of Thieves Developer
No game, no hype. We've never seen gameplay at all for all six years since it's reveal. That and the multiple reboots, not a loss at all for me.
Re: Call Of Duty Goes Co-Op With Black Ops 7, Coming To Xbox Game Pass This Year
BLOPS IIIIIII!
Re: Multiple Final Fantasy Games Confirmed For Xbox, Including A Shadow Drop Today
TOLD Y'ALL, we just gotta play the best waiting game of our lives!

Re: FTC Suffers Another Major Blow In Fight Against Xbox Activsion Deal
Y'ALL THOUGHT IT WAS OVER HUH!!? well now it is..
Re: Talking Point: Which Xbox Game Will Move To PS5 Next?
Hellblade II is probably next. It'll be a year old sequel and the port will include the evitable 60FPS patch.
Re: Xbox Announces Gears Of War: Reloaded, Releasing Summer 2025

Re: GTA 6 Gets A New Release Date As Rockstar Delays To May 2026
What a great B-Day game for me next year!
Re: These 10 Games Are Coming To Xbox Game Pass (April 16 - May 6)
Isn't Towerborne F2P? Or did they walk that back?
Re: Xbox Owners Fed Up With 'Outbreak' Spam On The Microsoft Store
Outbreak and those Aery bird games are frequently getting shat out on the weekly. Xbox should monitor the marketplace spam.
Re: Report: Hogwarts Legacy DLC Cancelled, Definitive Edition Scrapped As Well
On the bright-ish side, the DLC will definitely be included in the sequel.
Re: Microsoft Has Reportedly Discussed Acquiring IP From Ubisoft
While Rayman/Rabbids are a nice & easy pick, my pipe dream is that Xbox nabs the Grow games. Port Grow Home and make a 3rd entry.

Re: Silent Hill 2 Dev's Next Konami Game Is Coming To Xbox Series X|S
@Kaloudz SH1&3 are the only narratively connected games.
Slight spoiler
In SH1, the MC is Harry and Heather is his daughter.
Re: Silent Hill 2 Dev's Next Konami Game Is Coming To Xbox Series X|S
@Kaloudz Eventually yes but SH1 is still locked on the PS1 and should be remade first. Also, the G in Project G is speculated to stand for Gillespie (SH1 antagonist) & Project H to stand for Heather (SH3 MC).
Re: Xbox Has Officially Delayed Fable Into 2026
I knew something was up when it wasn't in the Dev_Direct. Maybe that's why they showed off Expedition 33 instead.
Re: Roundup: All The Xbox Reveals From February 2025's State Of Play
Abiotic Factor, Blue Prince & Darwin's Paradox (the squid game) are also confirmed for Xbox!
Re: Xbox Fans Hoping For 'Marcus Fenix Collection' News After Phil Spencer Revisits Gears Classics
I want The Fenix Collection to be real so I don't buy the Raam's Shadow DLC just cuz I'm cheap.
Re: Xbox Developer Direct Returns This Month To Highlight Four 2025 Titles
The wording regarding the 4th game has me thinking it's not Oblivion, also no Fable 4 shown(?) is a letdown.
Re: Xbox Game Studios: All Microsoft First-Party Developers & What They're Working On
Glad to see that PX now has their own Studio Coverage page that PS has.
Re: Three Call Of Duty Classics Could Be Heading To Xbox Game Pass Soon
Them including United Offensive has me really happy, I hated how they didn't add it into CoD: Classic.
Re: Xbox Fans Are Wondering What Happened To Series X|S Exclusive 'Contraband'
It's bound to be in next year's Dev_Direct. Until then, no game no hype.
Re: Talking Point: Where Are All The ActiBlizz Titles On Xbox Game Pass?
@Hydralicmonkey How we didn't get 1+2 on the 25th anniversary is downright despicable.
Re: Surprise! Death Stranding Director's Cut Is Now Available On Xbox Series X|S
Now I just wanna know what the Xbox-specific hologram will be (PlayStation was Horizon's Tallneck and PC was Half-Life's Strider).
Re: Surprise! Death Stranding Director's Cut Is Now Available On Xbox Series X|S
@Godot25 @Banjo- 505 still owns the publishing rights to the first game (for PC) and since tomorrow is the 5th anniversary, I reckon they're getting it out now cuz of expired contracts. Now the second game is locked down cuz it's fully published by Sony.

Sorry for not being related but Death Stranding: Director's Cut is out now on Windows and Xbox!
Re: These Three Games Are Coming To Xbox Game Pass (September 19-24)
They're likely holding onto surprises for TGS and definitely dropping Tony Hawk 1+2 on the 29th. This ABK GP drip-feeding is ticking me off.
Re: Minecraft Movie Gets First Teaser Trailer Ahead Of April 2025 Release
After watching the teaser, I thought that they're pulling a 'Jumanji Movie' genderswap for Mamoa's character. but reading the plot and seeing that he's "The Garbage Man", kinda creepy 1st impression for the Minecraft film. Plus swearing in the line is indeed a choice.

Re: Talking Point: What's Your Favourite Xbox Expansion Of All Time?
Forza Horizon 3 - Hot Wheels. The most fun I've ever had in a DLC back as a kid, It and Blizzard Mountain makes FH3 my favorite game of all time. Other highlights include the Sunset Overdrive expansions, the GTA4 Episodes + Undead Nightmare.
Re: Two Xbox Properties Cross Over As Fallout Meets Call Of Duty Later This Week

Re: 'Gears Of War: E-Day' Is The Next Instalment In Xbox's Famous Franchise
My only complaints are that this prequel isn't set during the Pendulum Wars, + now the main story won't conclude until the next decade...
Re: Hellblade 2 Will Display With 'Black Bars' Outside Of Ultrawide Mode
Yeah, I'm holding off until it's inevitably patched along with 60fps. Like c'mon, if Starfield gets 60fps, so can Hellblade 2!

With how much Phil keeps gushing about his love for Brotato, I knew it'd launch on GP for the Xbox release.
