Over the past 3 years, Microsoft has announced the revival of 5 legacy IPs. If this trend continues, what should be the next one to return ?
- Thread starter FarSight XR-20
- Start date
Yeah, it was at a time where MS were making publishing deals with established studios, funding the full development/production and letting them keep the IP. Same with Mass Effect, Gears of War, Alan Wake, and Sunset Overdrive.
Viva Pinata, easily. Give us something bright and colourful and relaxing, and something not quite like any of the competitors.
Plus, if it's to the relative level of pretty that the originals were on the 360, boom, you've got the best looking game of the gen right there.

pfft no, if double fine have to do an existing MS IP I would want them to do Viva Pinata
It's not their IP, but it was closely associated with Xbox from the beginning...
I want new Dead Rising. And a good one this time.
That, and a new Conker/Banjo would be great, too.

Everyone says Double Fine for Banjo but nah, I wanna see them do Conker. I also wanna see Lost Odyssey get a remake.
It would be Lost Odyssey for me, and it wouldn't even be close.
I do think they should be getting a new Banjo figured out, though. I'd be there for that day one, too.
Kind of a left field response, I guess, but I'd really like to see someone revisit Kameo. Even if it's a complete re-imagining, as I feel like there's a ton of potential there.

I don't know why people keep suggesting Double Fine for these Rare IP 3D platformers. Double Fine seems to be such a creative studio that's bursting with their own ideas and finally has the financial backing to bring them to life. Under this circumstance, I don't see them having any desire to use their energy to bring old IP's of other studios back to life, unless somebody in a leadership role at Double Fine has the passion for it which I highly doubt.

I want that scrapped Halo Wars 3 concept with ground and big space battles.
MechAssault, Ninety Nine Nights (apparently) and Rallisport Challenge are the only MS owned franchises that I'd like to see revived.
Banjo is probably the only one left that could be considered at least a moderately low-risk revival, right?
For me personally, I'd like to see Lost Odyssey and Viva Pinata before it. But if I'm talking about what might be the highest floor to a successful revival it would have to be Banjo.

That would actually be really dope.
It has to be Banjo next. If Playtonic is up for it, give them twice the budget that they usually work with and it would still be relatively cheap. And obviously have them cross-over or team up with Yooka-Laylee in the game :)
Aside from that I'm hoping to see Crackdown, Blue Dragon, Voodoo Vince, Lost Odyssey and Jet Force Gemini again. They are all longshots, but a man can dream.
It's one of the most underrated platformers ever, maybe due to being on the wrong platform and looking uninspiring in screenshot. Of course when you play it, you quickly discover how creative and charming it actually is.
Fans of platformers that haven't played it should check out the remaster on Xbox/PC, while we wait patiently for a sequel.

Blast Corps would be very nice. My favourite Rare game.
They're making Balan Wonderland at Square-Enix Japan nowadays.

Just do Banjo so I can give you my money, Microsoft.
I am fully ready to buy a Series S or X just for a new Banjo.

I said Banjo, but I realized that it would be an incredibly tough game to get right and please fans. There just aren't very many great 3D platformers out there today. Yooka-laylee, which is the closest thing to Banjo just wasn't good at all.
A new Viva pinata seems like a slam dunk though.
