Whenever it comes to fun local co-op game options, it’s never a bad idea to check out Minecraft . Minecraft allows for up to four players to play together in split-screen, giving them complete freedom to explore, build, fight monsters, and more. When players really get into thoroughly exploring their Minecraft world, the game becomes impossible to put down, giving players countless hours of genuine entertainment with frie
An Xbox 360 launch title, Kameo: Elements of Power was essentially Rare’s take on The Legend of Zelda franchise. The game was popular enough for its time, but like many Rare IP, has since been abandoned. A Kameo sequel could expand on what Rare established with the original game, while also addressing its faults and delivering a generally higher-quality adventure. Microsoft doesn’t really have a Legend of Zelda -equivalent exclusive for Xbox, but it could very well use the Kameo franchise to fill that v
There are actually a couple of different LEGO games available on Xbox Game Pass at the time of this writing, but LEGO Star Wars 3: The Clone Wars is arguably the best of the bunch. The LEGO games have been offering their familiar brand of local co-op action for years now, and while each game is more or less the same, they all have their own little quirks to help them stand apart from one another. Plus, fans can play through LEGO Star Wars 3: The Clone Wars on Xbox Game Pass as a refresher while they wait for the release of the upcoming LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga video g
The rumors appear to be painting not only a significant next iteration for a much-beloved franchise, but also a rich, complex, and deeply customizable RPG that will show off just how powerful the Xbox Series X has the capability to be. The excitement from fans of the franchise alone trumps a lot of other significant games in the Xbox’s pipeline, with the Fable fanbase crossing their fingers in anticipation each and every time Xbox holds a major press event or confere
Not even the most avid fans could defend it. Not only did it signal an end to the franchise for the foreseeable future, but it was also the beginning of the studio’s descent into mediocrity. We’re hoping with all out hearts for BioWare to get back on their f
However, when looking at the long list of Microsoft and Sony franchises that could make the jump to next-generation hardware, it’s fairly evidently who has the edge. Taking star power and prominent, marketable franchises into account, Sny is packing several massive names that are each easy system sellers. Horizon, Spider-Man, God of War , The Last of Us, Ratchet and Clank, Uncharted; these are all series that are offering fresh, interesting concepts that fans are clamoring to see more of, and that’s without even mentioning all the currently dormant franchises that Sony could dip its toes back into as w
Considering that Xbox currently can’t boast many big-name exclusives that really sell what its next-generation venture is all about, it makes sense for the company to go all out on Fable 4 and show it before the launch of its newest console. That’s not to say the game should be rushed to be a launch title for the Series X; nobody wants the game to not reach its potential purely for the sake of creating hype for the Serie
Rumors have been swirling for quite some time that Microsoft has a brand new Perfect Dark game in development. According to the rumors, the new Perfect Dark will be third-person , and will be at least partially developed by Gears of War studio The Coalition. Whether or not there’s any truth to these claims remains to be seen, but it would make sense for Microsoft to take advantage of Perfect Dark ‘s popularity and leg
Nintendo proved with Super Mario Odyssey that there is still plenty that the 3D platformer genre has to offer, and it would be nice to see Banjo-Kazooie get a modern update as well. Rare doesn’t even have to be the studio to make the game. Microsoft has plenty of studios under the Xbox Game Studios umbrella that could be given the reigns of Banjo-Kazooie – whatever it takes to see the bird and bear make their long-awaited, and much-deserved, comeb
Yet, there is one franchise within the Xbox’s library that could stand toe to toe with Sony and offer some significant star power if announced over the next few months. That is, of course, the heavily-rumored Fable 4 . Teased to be receiving a significant resurrection over at Playground Games – the developer of the Forza series – the rumors surrounding the fourth iteration of the popular British fantasy series have managed to drum up a lot of hype over the last few months. Some have claimed that Fable 4 will be a full reboot , stripping away the more industrial setting of Fable reboot 3, while others claim it’ll be much more expansive than previous entries, with bigger worlds and more personalizat
These spectacular showcases will be excellent outlets for both major console manufacturers to sell their upcoming new hardware, with Microsoft and Sony likely to announce tons of new games, reveal some stunning next-generation gameplay , and unveil some groundbreaking new entries in their most iconic franchises. For many, the latter of these prospects is without question the most exciting, especially as new consoles mean more expansive ways of tackling some of gaming’s most important
