I just want the exclusivity deal on these to end…

Phil keeps telling us he's a big fan of MechAssault but those games weren't even available on backwards compatibility. Licensing is an issue and possibly emulation is a problem too for the first game.

Microsoft Solitaire Collection.

This kind of conversation is much more interesting to me than Halo or Gears - especially the current gen slop.

But I think to get any of those 360 titles done will take an enterprising third party to make a deal with MS, do the ports and split the revenues. MS have their hands full getting their current gen games off of xbox hardware and migrating the final cadre of users to something else.

And after the news about Iron Galaxy struggling today, I think there's probably not much money floating around to fund this stuff.

Remember way back when MS were supposed to have endless funds for all this and could fund GP for $1 forever? Yeah, that was BS.

When and who said this?

They need to get that oblivion remake on ps5!

I still doubt it even exists.

I just hope its not just pretty but totally soul less unreal engine 5 jank

That game is not owned by Microsoft. In fact, it's owned by Sony and has been for years.

Sunset Overdrive Is Now Owned by PlayStation, Sony Confirms

Xbox One exclusive now PlayStation property

Sony might own the IP but isn't the first game under an exclusivity deal with MS. Maybe they'd be willing to drop it now for a cut.

 

[Effigenius]

Eh. I don't care about any of these but I would like Sonys classics to get ported to PC. Sly, Rachet, Jak, Dark Cloud, Rogue Galaxy, Infamous, etc.

Insomniac owns the IP, they can put out anytime they want to.

It's kinda like how the day after Kojima fully bought the rights to Death Stranding, it was out on Xbox the next day. It's up to Insomniac.

OG Ninja Gaiden 2.

 

[ToadMan]

When and who said this?

 

[Bonfires Down]

Otogi. I reckon we'll get it right after the Bloodborne remaster.

 

[GymWolf]

All mid ass games in that list tbh, they have much better games to port.

 

[engstra]

As a big fan of Remedy, I would love to be able to play Quantum Break. The other games listed I don't feel anything about. When Ryse came out I would've been all over it but it doesn't seem like a game that deserves to be ported.
One game that was not listed though is Rare Replay! Maybe it's not as important anymore seeing as a few of those games (especially Banjo 1 + 2) are available on NSO, but to have that collection woild still be very cool

Insomniac's Sunset Overdrive

Insomniac owns Sunset Overdrive now. They can release it on PS5 whenever they want. It's not up to MS.

 

[Toots]

What would you like to see?

There are games Microsoft paid a lot of money to keep off playstation at the height of the great console war.

Games that made sense on playstation or at least do now since the series or Devs moved back to playstation already.

Games like:
Insomniac's Sunset Overdrive
Remedy's Quantum Break,
Cryteks Ryse Son of Rome
And Ubisofts Splinter Cell conviction.

I think it would be wise of MS to port these over. And ironically it's much easier to port a 360 game to PS5 then a PS3 game.

What else would you like to see?

Edit:
I should have said if they don't own the IP at least give the other publishers freedom to port them over.

Your list makes me feel old.
Microsoft old classics are flight simulator, midtown madness and fable.
Also the games you list are mid at best (conviction i don't know i did not play).
It might not be a coincidence that microsoft, after having released those as xbox exclusive in order to win the console war, was soundly beaten into the half dead state they are in now.

Can you name any other game with 20-minute live action cut-scenes?

Night trap ?

Insomniac are usually trying to keep some staff busy with remasters instead of letting them go. Could make sense and with insomniacs name a collosus these days and ratchet on the back burner could be a good addition to PS Premium.

The thing is, Insomniac's roadmap of releases up to 2030 is so packed and full of ambitious, tentpole releases -- Marvel's Wolverine (2026), Marvel's Spider-Man: Venom (2027), Marvel's Spider-Man 3 (2028) and Ratchet & Clank (2029/2030) -- that they won't have developers without enough work to do in between projects at all, in fact, they'll be jumping from full production on one project to the next.

 

[DerivedDataCache]

Quantum Break is definitely Remedy's little gem. Can you name any other game with 20-minute live action cut-scenes?

I also really liked the story and having fun with the powers (like in Control) and only the last boss fight was bad.

Indeed. All the Naughty Dog fans are gonna like this one.
It's better than Control and Alan Wake 2 imo.

Bluepoint and Bend are free these days.
