Thematically, Devil May Cry has little in common with the Yakuza series. However, where the original Yakuza fighting system is like a throwback to classic Japanese 80s and 90s beat-em-ups, DMCV harks back to the hack-and-slash classics like Golden Axe in a single-player for
Often, Xbox brands itself with Halo, Forza, and Gears of War, as those are the most recognizable IP that Xbox has in its repertoire. But having a next-gen Fable could go a long way in letting Xbox present itself in a more multifaceted way. A sweeping, open-world fantasy world with Fable 's signature cartoony style could help Xbox reach fans of games like Nintendo's Breath of the Wi
Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge is one of the most highly-regarded original Xbox exclusives, offering impressive visuals, a compelling single-player campaign, and a multiplayer mode that was one of the first games to really take advantage of Xbox Live's online multiplayer capabilities. Unfortunately, it's been 17 years since the launch of Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge , and besides the game being playable on Xbox One through the Xbox backward compatibility program , it hasn't received much attention from Microsoft. Needless to say, many fans would be happy to see a next-gen take on Crimson Skies that could take advantage of modern graphics and gameplay featu
Dying Light 2 was seen in a couple of different press conferences at E3 2019, with both highlighting its parkour action and threatening undead hordes. Besides learning that Dying Light 2 is aiming for a spring 2020 release, we also found out that it will place a much higher emphasis on player choice. In fact, the developers estimate that someone's first run through Dying Light 2 will only allow them to see half of the game because of
Whenever Fable 4 is planning to hit shelves, Xbox needs to highlight that it's coming out the gate strong and delivering what the fans want. It needs to show it has the system selling names, the exclusives, and the groundbreaking ideas to hang alongside the likes of Sony and stake itself a bigger claim in the generation to come. Microsoft has already shown that the Series X has groundbreaking technology and its marketing thus far has been wonderfully open and honest. All it needs now is a killer game that shows off exactly what the console can do, and Fable 4 seems to be exactly t
However, fans want the promise of fantastic games from innovational franchises as they look towards Xbox's future and what better way to establish that than to show off an enhanced reboot of the Fable series running on next-generation hardware. No matter if it releases two years into the console's cycle, the promise of a game like Fable 4 would do a lot to convince fans they should invest in Microsoft if revealed in the next few mon
A rebooted Fable that returns the franchise to the fantasy world of its first entry allows the developer to turn back the clock on the series for a true reboot. It also helps Fable stay in that Breath of the Wild territory while letting Fable excel with its own unique style and tone for which it is kn
E3 2019 gave us another look at the "reverse horror game" Carrion , where players get to play as the monster. While this may make the game less scary, it has no shortage of disturbing visuals, and that combined with its eerie atmosphere should still make the game rather unnerving. It will be exciting to see if the final product lives up to the hype, and if the concept of a "reverse horror game" has widespread app
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
Originally a PlayStation 5 exclusive, Ghostwire: Tokyo is also available on PC and Xbox Series X/S. The visually striking title takes advantage of the more advanced hardware and helps the neon-drenched city of Tokyo come to life in a way that rivals the Yakuza ga
When the original Fable was in development, the game's director Peter Molyneux talked about his plans for the Adventure Game Walkthrough, which at the time was codenamed Project Ego. The main idea was that players would pick up the controller on a 15-year-old whose parents were killed, and in a journey of revenge, players would guide their avatar through an RPG experience shaping their avatar from a teenager to an adult with total freedom of their path. Their avatar would grow up along with the world—there was a famous example that players could plant an acorn as a child and then see it grow into a tree by adulthood—and eventually have to save the entire world on their journey. It was a lifelong pursuit, with players raising up a character from childhood all the way to old
