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 ?

Lost Odyssey seems to fill a more important gap for MS imo.
A big budget JRPG exclusive is something we haven't seen from MS for more than a console generation. Seems even more important now as Xbox keeps getting the short end of the stick with franchises such as Final Fantasy. This is a move that would turn heads.
On a side note, even though MS don't technically own the IP, they should look to fund a new Ninja Gaiden title

I wonder if Hajime Tabata and JP Games would be willing to partner with Xbox on Lost Odyssey? Mistwalker needs to be involved, of course, but they would likely need a second partner studio like they did on the first Lost Odyssey.
Yeah. As much as we need some of these other franchises back, we also need a new KI game.
DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUDE!!!! A next-gen Mech Assault could be AMAZING! Uuuuugh, GIVE IT TO ME!!!
Haha, on a less dramatic note, I really want to see another Conker's Bad Fur Day game. I used to love that game back in the day but the comedy... hasn't aged well. It'd be cool to see what Microsoft could do with the IP with a new batch of writers.
So many things that I personally would put above Banjo. I just don't care much about mascot platformers these days. But if they do Banjo, cool, I'd play it.
Anyway my top three would be:
- Combat Flight Simulator
- Lost Odyssey
- Freelancer

Another vote for Banjo-Kazooie. I'll instantly purchase a Series X for this game if it's an evolution of the original.
They could do some ones that would be fun like Blinx 3, Project Gotham Racing, Otogi or Crimson Skies 3...
Or they could got nuts and reboot one of those B/C-Tier OG Xbox exclusives.
Whacked
Brute Force
BloodWake
Amped
Breakdown
Dead Man's Hand
Enclave
GunValkyrie
I used this list, because I totally forgot about most of these: http://xbmcxbox.blogspot.com/2013/05/list-of-original-xbox-exclusives.html

I hope that the following are going to be back sooner than later: Killer Instinct, Crimson Skies, Midtown Madness, Crimson Skies, Banjo, ...
I believe Zoo Tycoon got a last entry in 2013 (same as Killer Instinct), so it's not really dead (even though its future is probably compromised as the last game was apparently pretty bad).
My vote goes to Banjo-Kazooie though !

This...so much this....
I cannot begin to describe how much I want a sequel
I know its technically not theirs, but I'd love to see Xbox take the lead on a Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic reboot/remake/sequel. That would be the equivalent of a FF7 Remake for Xbox fans.
I figure that could be done by Obsidian with support from Bioware Austin in partnership with EA in order to access the license.

I voted lost Odyssey but honestly I'd be content with just an HD port to PC where the end game is playable. Trying to do side quests at the end of the game is one of the worst experiences I've ever had with gaming because you have to constantly swap disks lol.
Blue Dragon
I would do horrific things to see Blue Dragon 2 in UE4/5, with a similar art style to Dragon Quest XI.
Banjo-Kazooie gets my vote, a new entry feels long overdue.
Like, pull a Crash 4 and give us a worthy Banjo-Threeie that honors the classic B-K formula while evolving it with ideas that actually fit within its open-world collectathon framework. Ignore Nuts & Bolts entirely because there's literally nothing from that game worth bringing back, it wasn't even really a Banjo game.
Double Fine or Moon Studios, either one would be fine as the developer.
I'd be among the 30 people who'd buy a Series X for Banjo-Kazooie 3 lol

Outside of Banjo, I think they should start putting the focus on new IP rather than revitalizing old franchises.
I'd fucking LOVE to see Banjo 3 though.

OP should add another straw poll where you can vote for all of the series that you'd like to see return. It would be interesting to see some numbers other than for Banjo and for where people's interest lie. I'd love another Banjo, but I would also be interested in some of the lower tier franchises making a return.
Freelancer, Starlancer, Allegiance...MS had some great space games.
they might win over folks by reviving franchises people remember playing on PC decades ago. I got flashbacks of playing Crimson Skies and the madness games reading the thread.
LOL Holy crap. I completely erased all memory of this game from my mind until now. lol
I'm.not sure I want it but a new Viva Pinata with a Pinata Go style app and versions on ps and switch as well would hit big
With Cyberpunk shitting the bed, now is when MS goes all "hold my beer" and blows our mind with Shadowrun.
Failing that, Xbox had 2 wonderful mech assault games which I'd love seeing. Or Project Gotham, can't miss with PGR.
I want Banjo, but Viva Piñata is the smart choice today if properly marketed.
I'm running out of reasons to doubt XGS.. Won't have any left if they announce a banjo platformer.
But even if they do I'll silently hope for a kameo reboot or a lost odyssey continuation knowing they are too niche to have a chance in heck.

Viva piñata is nothing like animal crossing... If they made a vp game to cater to the animal crossing crowd I do not think it would be a very good game.
PGR.
Edit: Actually, both of these:
Midtown Madness 3 was one of the first games I played on the Xbox, along with Top Spin. Great games.

Mechwarrior and MechAssault are very different experiences, the latter being a much less of a simulation.
Mechassault would be my number one, since I'm sure Banjo is already a lock, it's just a matter of time.
Absolutely agree, both IP can exist. PGR was very different; Arcadey, track specific goals, made up tracks, focus on style driving.
If Microsoft simply cut PGR because its "another racing game too many", that's dumb (I don't know the real story, just what I've heard). PGR had its fans and it kept them coming to Xbox and they may not like Forza as much. That's like Nintendo cutting Kirby because "too many platformers, cut the fat". Some people buy Nintendo consoles just for Kirby.
