Why don't the Japs learn that Xbots and PCbros don't buy Japanese games? Even if it's free no one will download it.

The people who got it had a combination of the worst security on earth. Which is unfortunately a big problem with home users and businesses alike. You didn't get infected if you:
1. Had Windows 7 and 8 up to date, the patch to stop this was released a month ago
2. Had a router and firewall.
3. Disabled SMBv1 (there is no reason for 99.9% of people to even have it enabled) like MS recommended for YEARS but didn't have it off by default because outdated businesses and third world shitters.
4. Had various ports used by hackers blocked in firewall/router.

Harden your fucking security.

Probably an apology to the 0.3 people who were anticipating Phantom Dust 2 only for it to have been vaporware. Or maybe it's part of Microcock's whole "bring back OG Xbox games" shit they've been doing like what they did with Voodoo Vince.

>>377055342
It's gonna be similar to Hearthstone and Gwent.
Supported by microtransactions, and if it's anything like Gwent it won't be bad microtransactions.

probably to see if it's worth it to keep throwing money at that new one on hiatus

spencer is a huge proponent of carrying on the og xbox legacy of games and he's been harping on about how great they are. but just like scalebound, it's hard to throw money at a product that won't sell. yeah, having a phantom dust 2 would be cool as fuck. but no one would buy it.

no one was going to buy this HD remaster either, but maybe it being free is enough of a gamble to get enough people in your userbase interested enough to keep an eye out for the sequel

The new goal now if I remember correctly is to kind of just build on this game, like a platform, but in the beginning the games microtransactions will just be time savers.

Actually I think it has something to do with how closely the Xbone and Windows 10 architecture are which is why the two platforms can mingle with each other so easily, and that porting it over to 7/8 would take a greater deal of work compared to that. DirectX 12, which isn't available on 7/8, also has a hand in that.

Making some huuuuge assumptions there.

>>377056150
Ok so this game was made by the creator of Panzer Dragoon, its unlike anything youve ever played.

The basic premise is that is a 3rd person fighter, but with cards. you build a deck and your powers spawn on the map. you grab them and they go to one of the face buttons.

Powers come from 5 schools:

>Psycho
Force powers
>Optical
Light powers
>Nature
Natural Environment (more defensive)
>Ki
Stamina based
>Religion
Uses your Will, high cost attacks that take health away from you sometimes

This also gets broken out into Skill types like Attack, Defense, Status, Special and environmental.

You will collect and use these skills in your deck and attempt to create the most effective deck, you will not be able to see your opponents deck so choose wisely.

Combat takes place in multi-tiered levels some destructible areas that you can use to change the flow of the match. Like if a guy is hanging out on a bridge and just firing down at you and you cant get a clear shot, destroy the bridge and remove it from play.
>>
>>377056861
Okay this sounds awesome.
Thanks.
>>
>>377056825
looks fucking terrible, the fuck did they even do? this looks just like uprezzed emulation, what the fuck is going on?
>>
>>377056813
Its a card game. They will sell booster packs.
>>
>>377056782
I know somebody who's working on Crackdown 3 and that game has been scrapped and restarted about 4 times now. I really dont think its going to come out
>>
>>377056390
I'm not. I'm 27 and I notice how /v/ made me hate video games.
So yeah, fuck /v/.
>>
Where were you when you realized the Xbox OG was the best console for weebs with taste?
>>
>>377052215
Awesome, now everyone else can experience how over rated this game is.
>>
>>377057006
Eh, original xbox was just the dreamcast 2.0.

Wasn't as good as the PS2 but it was probably on par with the GCN.
>>
>>377052215
Is this them trying to gauge interest in the development hell reboot?

>200k people downloaded it for free!
>This means we have 200 people who might consider buying the Xbone version, maybe
>>
>>377057068
It had better games than the shitcube.
>>
>>377056858
Really all it has to do is be as good as the first two with some better lock-on mechanics and maybe wall grabs without having zombies for no reason. Since the zombies weren't the original creators ideas, I don't really see why they'd be back when they were panned.

It's a pretty simple assumption.
>>
>>377056976
They added pre-made decks so people could go online immediately if they wanted. If they wanted to milk the card RNG pack thing, they shouldnt have cancelled the reboot on the slightest whim.
>>
>>377057096
Not really. More or less had the same amount of worthwhile exclusive titles. GCN probably had a little bit more.
>>
>>377055198
I'm excited as well anon, gonna be playing that tomorrow.

Know why this is free, Xbros? MS wants to start building up Japanese support of their audience. They're getting them to accept Jap games. Explains why they made Lost Odyssey of all things free in celebration of 300 BC games. Wanna know why? Because at E3 Microsoft will announce Lost Odyssey 2, Ninja Gaiden 4, Tales of Vesperia remastered, and a new Jet Set Radio game/JSRF remastered all exclusive to Scorpio.

Literally everyone was saying it looked shit before it was cancelled. MS knew what they were doing when they cancelled it.

Let me waltz into this thread and say that I fucking loved Phantom Dust, but it's boring as hell to replay.

Basically over half of the game is a tutorial of them slowly introducing you to mechanics. This is dandy the first time you play, but it's grating when you want to start the game anew.

I've never played Phantom Dust over Xbox Live, but I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if the prevalent strategy is to just delete enemy spheres, grinding them out so they can't do anything and that would be the scummiest bullshit to have to play against on a regular basis.

tl;dr: I want a Phantom Dust 2 where it assumes you've played the first one and just lets you start being an Arsenal (deck) however you want from the get go.

combine magic the gathering with an action game.

you create your decks with powers.
you appear in the stage
power clouds (your cards) are scatered around the level, so you must fight whilst gathering your cards in hopes that you get your good combo cards or something.
since its an action game if you are skilful you can dodge attacks, run around etc and try to outplay your opponent not only with a better deck but with ability

was to drop a fat sack of cash on all of the japanese devs to make an Xbone exclusive. They want to capture that Sony audience after the 4 month streak of 10/10 jap games we just had.

50% of Steam use Windows 10.
>>
>>377059175
MS cancelled the reboot, so they're doing a remaster of the original to save face to a certain degree.

Anyway anyone can take the files and transfer them as a download file for non win 10 users?

Phantom Dust is one of my favorite games. I don't own a Xbone, and I don't have Windows 10, but I hope everyone that does takes time to try it out.

The story line is alright. The atmosphere is great, and the multiplayer is some of the most fun I've had.

I don't care if some fag calls me a shill. The game is great. If MS ports over Panzer Dragoon Orta and JSRF I'll give them my shekels.
>>
>>377060398
A fuckton of people seem to be on 10 already though. It's their Store that needs worked on and marketed, and gladly they finally fixed the downloading problem after the last Build conference.

People eat up free shit. Despite the game being niche, this is excellent advertising imo.
>>
>>377060603
Most people on PC aren't buying shit on M$'s store.
It's worse than all the worst parts of Uplay, Origin, and Steam combined.
>>
This is the only microsoft exclusive game I cared about this year and I'm getting it for free. Fucking radical
>>
>>377060965
Nah it's kinda alright since the last update. If they add backups then I prefer it over Uplay. It doesn't even need a launcher running.
>>
>>377052215
so it's just a shitty hearthstone knock off? ewww, fucking dropped. ain't gonna get this shit, even when it's free.
>>
>>377060965
Also, you don't need to use the Store at all. Just download the appx installer online and it'll run fine. PD will probably be DRM-free like Killer Instinct too.
>>
How do we meme this game into being a cult hit among the new players on Win10/Xbone, /v/?
>>
>>377060603
That's already half the potential players. And how many of them even know the microsoft store exists let alone are willing to use it?
>>
>>377052215
Looks pretty fun, will check it out.
I JUST HOPE THIS GODDAMN VCR GETS MORE GAMES, FUCK
>>
Here's a sample match of what the game would typically look like, for those who don't know what this game is like:

If you don't need the store will it be playable on windows 7? Isnt is DX11 not 12?
>>
>>377061254
Unless they removed it when they installed W10, you can see the Xbox app in the start menu at the bottom left. I believe you can Dl this in the xbox app store and not the windows store.
>>
>>377061254
>And how many of them even know the microsoft store exists let alone are willing to use it?

More than before they starting releasing free shit. I don't know why you expect PC gamers to warm up to a new store (especially from MS) overnight. What they're doing now is a pretty good way to bring more people over.
>>
>>377061363
No, I mean you don't have to run the store app ever. All you need is the appx installer.

The game uses the UWP API, not WIn32.

God knows what they were thinking was going to happen during this whole thing. Darkside wanted a $2m extension on top of an originally agreed $5m budget to do the story mode, but Microsoft refused to budge even though it was obvious they weren't going to be able to do it.

Well fellow /v/irgins, give me the quick rundown on phantom dust.
>>
>>377062050
It's worth KI, Forza and Gears 4 (best optimized game in recent history) imo, even if you have dual boot. I mean, I prefer still 7 and 8.1 but I think the tradeoff it worth it.

Things like WSL and free shit like Phantom Dust give me hope too.

Yeah, like ass. Choose a better video next time, idiot.

>>
>>377062967
Nope, 8.1 was a swifter 7. Obviously install Classic shell. I will forever miss the speed of 8.1 (and 7 too i guess). 10 is improving over time but it still not nearly as solid as 8.1

>>
What are so many sonyfags doing here? Go back to your Persona 5 and Bloodborne threads, if these games are good as you said a re-release of Phantom Dust shouldn't bother you faggots.
>>
I bought this when it first came out, it's a weird under funded experimental game and it's not really fun, kind of mediocre actually. I assume this is MS trying to suck you into the Windows 10 ecosystem so as long as you know that's their intention I suggest you don't, the Windows Store is a ghost town of broken dreams, seriously

>Let me add that Code Mystics (the development team) are absolute ninjas. This was a 2004 4:3 game. They cracked open and rewrote the renderer, fixed the culling (making the screen display 16x9 is only the first part of the issue), added LIVE support, enabled easy balance tuning, got cross-play working, re-enabled hundreds of custom shaders and VFX (DX8 to DX11 is not a fun conversion, I've learned), made UI changes, and got the framerate to a massively stable 30 FPS on any machine / platform, all while not being able to truly modify the game at its core.

>Yes, to accelerate multiplayer deck building. It is completely optional. The campaign gets you a lot of skills and credits to use just by playing through it. You also earn skills and credits just by playing MP as well. PD already has a skill shop, credits, random "junk" packs, rare skills, and everything you'd seen in games today -- and it did all that in 2004.

>There's also free skills and a deck case you get to start MP off with, so that if you don't want to play the campaign, you don't have to.
>>
>>377070226
I've never pirated Win10 so I don't know but I think everything works fine. I'm just saying why risk installing malware instead of going the legit route if it's free.
Also they fixed the active hours thing so you can have it only restart at like 5AM or whenever you're always gonna be asleep. (Pretty sure there's a way to disable updates completely but I don't do it because I like being up to date)
Go ahead with LTSB if you want, I just wanna let you know that you could just have an actual license instead

That's a bit of an awkward dilemma for me. On the other hand, there'll be no shortage of players anytime soon, which will be amazing.

It also makes me wonder if they have any plans to announce anything new at E3 for it, since they put it so close before it instead of doing one of those "it's out RIGHT NOW" things at their press conference.

It depends on the game. Sometimes you get genuine crap without microtransactions.

On consoles this is usually because you bought a subscription to a network (xbox live or PSN). On very rare occasion a game can go full on freeware, but that's usually on PC/Linux not consoles.

This might actually be the later because the game is old and Microsoft has had a lot of trouble getting exclusives. Buying the rights to make a popular game into a freebie for the system wouldn't be a stretch at this point.

It must be stressed that the devs do NOT have access to the source code for the XBOX original, and it is presumed lost (until it magically turns up later). What you see is their best efforts at reverse-engineering their own game, and they pulled off a lot.

>>377093098
phantom dust's marketing was non existant, the graphics looked weird to anyone unfamiliar with it, and the only thing that otherwise made it appealing was the fact it was a $20 retail box game when it was new.

announcing the game is gonna be free through a fuckin' tweet is just more of the same shit. Microsoft is mad retarded at actually spreading information about phantom dust and pretend it's more than it isn't, or isn't when it is.

anyway the fact the game is free now means theres literally zero reason to not try it out - which is probably the best thing the game could have received given not many people knew about it in the first place.

really interesting story and the multiplayer is solid.

Seriously, I first heard about it from fucking VGCats back in the day, and that was about the only site making any reference to it. It was one of the few Xbox games to not receive a release outside the US and Japan as well, which was weird - MS had a serious thing about making sure if a game was available in as many regions as possible.

Fucking amazing soundtrack though and the story is... shit, the story alone is worth the price of admission.
>>
>>377093646
>announcing the game is gonna be free through a fuckin' tweet is just more of the same shit.

>>377095013
It's a card game that plays like an action game.
>>
>>377095013
It's a collectible card game masquerading as a third-person action arena brawler. You build an arsenal (read: deck) of a bunch of different abilities, and when the game starts, you randomly pull out abilities from your arsenal to try and shoot down the enemise.

You really have to wonder just what is wrong with Xbox division suits. Like Scalebound? I can sort of see why it was cancelled, it doesn't don't look all that great and Kamita had to change some things because of doing different target audience, but the PD reboot? Literally no reason to cancel that.
>>
>>377095083
>>377095107
Would it be correct to assume that it plays more like a battle arenas in kart racing games? You just pick up powerup attacks and use them on other people, just that some powerup attacks are more permanent than others?

the available footage of the reboot was pretty rough and bad. desu a straight port is better.

Although i lost my nuts when i saw the reboot Trailer at E3, I still didn't like the 'realistic' character designs that aimed to abandon the original unique artstyle.

Except that the game has a very small audience and this is a good way to build one up for a successful sequel with actual funding.
>>
>>377095520
Except it's attacks and other abilities that you put together beforehand, and those abilities are randomly "drawn" and made available to you in your little corner of the arena for you to pick up. You can carry up to four abilities at a time.
>>
>>377095597
>made available to you in your little corner of the arena

Ohh I don't really like that. Wouldn't it provide advantage to one who's camping at his own little corner and endlessly firing shit at you as you try to get closer?
>>
>>377095670
No, because in most cases, your nest of powers is way out of the way of the main arena, plus you're not really hiding where you're at.

Did I mention the arena is destructible?
>>
>>377095670
From what I've seen it really depends on the ability set either of you have.

This, honestly. Phantom Dust was always a cult hit, and even though it was a passion project of Phil's, he knew the game needed more intellectual marketshare if it was to ever be successful in the long run.

"Fuck it, let's give it away for free" is a very easy way to get your game in front of a lot of people.
>>
>>377095520
you start a match in an arena in an open aired spawn location, and next to your spawn are 3 orbs, which represent your deck, and you also spawn with 4 abilities that you can keep or reroll once before the match starts. To use your 4 abilities, you use the four face ABXY buttons. When you walk over one of your orbs, there will be a little pop-up info saying what skill or ability it is, and pressing an ABXY button while standing on one of your orbs will replace which button with the skill in the orb, which then disappears on a cooldown timer until it is refreshed with a new random skill from your deck. This encourages some fun utilization of the environment and traveling around the arena to attack your opponent while also keeping a mind of where your spawn is so you can get back and get different or new skills.

You use skills through Aura particles, which iirc you start the match with 0 and can get up to 20. Aura particles are a consumable deck card and every time you use one, it increases your aura by 1 point. Some skills require a certain amount of aura to use, so you wont be using a 5pt skill when you only have 4 aura. When you use a skill, it temporarily depletes it's aura amount from your aura limit. So using a 4pt skill will then set you back to 0 aura, and aura automatically refills on a timer, with the timer increasing between each refilled aura point the higher your aura is. from 0 to 1 aura might be 1 second, but 19 to 20 could be like 7 seconds iirc.

Some skills are infinite use and you can use it so long as you have it, others have limited usage and will auto-delete from your hand and deck after you've used them. There's also plenty of niggerdom skills, like preventing your opponent from using their skills for a few seconds, skills to move your spawn location and orb deck location in the map, skills to delete opponent orbs when you chase them down to their end of the map - it's a really really deep game and pretty fun
>>
>>377096016
Plus, it makes it very easy to shill any sequels.
>You can play the original Phantom Dust from the OG Xbox for absolutely free!
>You think that game's awesome? Wait'll you see Phantom Dust 2!
>>
>>377096016
What I'm guessing the issue with the original reboot was that Phil wanted more of what the original game had (like a campaign) and his bosses at Microsoft wouldn't allow for a budget increase for an extremely niche franchise.
>>
>>377096498
The Phantom Dust remaster was done in secret, led by Shannon loftis with money she squirreled away from elsewhere in Xbox. Phil himself didn't even know the project was a thing until literally two weeks before the E3 2016 announcement, when the project was almost done.
>>
>>377096659
Looking at Twitter, it was apparently Shannon's idea to make it free as well.
>>
>>377096659
Not surprised considering how much of a blunder the Phantom Dust remake was. Phil would've killed it on the spot if he knew.
>>
>>377096659
Based on the interview with Phil from that time, it also looks like he really didn't want to can the reboot. I think Xbox might actually have the best people in charge, but Microsoft is holding them back.
>>
>>377096837
Not so sure. Phil insists Phantom Dust is one of his all-time favorite games.

Voodoo Vince Remaster was handled entirely by the game's creator and was an indie release on Xbox One.
>>
>>377097308
Yes. The original game was one of the first game to take advantage of XBL in its infancy, and now with the HD rerelease, it's taking full advantage of modern XBL. There will be XB1/PC crossplay, modern netcode, and it will take advantage of Arena, meaning built-in tournament and bracket support.

good lad! haven't heard of rainblood but just looked it up. they do look pretty similar indeed. dishwasher isn't as combo heavy as dmc, its kinda more like say, muramasa or just a 2D brawler. not a ton of combos, but a good amount of weapons and setups you can mix up, plus a big reliance on dodging. the dodge abuse + tons of blood and satisfying impact upon hitting things make me associate it with ninja gaiden 2, my favorite game ever. hope you can enjoy it as much as i did.
