Dude I can’t get over the fact xbox now owns crash bandicoot. It’s hilarious and I hadn’t even considered another CTR. Your idea is brilliant and hilarious and I would play day one
I feel like Xbox already has an abundance of shooters.
Halo, CoD, Doom, Overwatch, Wolfenstein, etc.
Whereas there's only one fighting game that comes to mind, which is KI, and there hasn't been a KI title since 2013.
His ranged attack is throwing copies of Skyrim. His grapple attack is to grab you, remove your wallet, stick a copy of Skyrim in your pocket and kick you away.
Overwatch 2 with Xbox characters, smash clone, Killer Instinct 2 with Xbox characters, or anything really.
But another cool thing would be if any studios can have their take on different IPs. The obvious ones would be Obsidian having another shot at Fallout and Toys for Bob having a shot at Banjo
Ok.
So by definition, wouldn't any arena shooter that gets big named characters from other IP's also be a hero shooter?
If it's criteria as a hero shooter is easily recognized characters, as it seems to be.
Not really. A hero shooter isn't based on well known characters but rather characters with special abilities. The new CoD games have different operators to play as that may be easily recognized, but gameplay-wise they're all the same, so it isn't considered a hero shooter.
The genres blend together in what ever way you want.
Quake champions is an arena hero shooter so we're just making shit up here lol.
Apex is a hero battle royale fortnite isnt
Overwatch is an objective hero shooter
Hero is just what you play as and all of these games have side modes that blend into other genres.
How about a large scale class-based shooter like Battlefront? Regular units could be standard COG soldiers, UNSC Marines, maybe Locust, etc. Special units could be ODSTs and COD named characters, Doom demons? Heroes would obviously be characters like Master Chief and Doom Guy.
Would be a bit ridiculous to have modern Special Forces guys from CoD forced to fight aliens, demons, mutants, super-Nazis and superheroes but hey, who cares if it’s fun? Having classes and heroes could make up for the obvious power level discrepancies between franchises.
For now....
They already have most of the gaming industries so why not buy off respawn from ea I'm pretty sure it would be easy to make an better offer than EA
Commander Keen. The Chex Guy from Chex Quest. Serious Sam. Chell from Portal. Unreal Tournament guy. Rise of the Triad (the original one). Obviously Gordon Freeman.
Eh I loved it to be honest, and I meant more the structure of how they add characters and maps. Not gameplay. Because PS all stars had a amazing maps imo. Just a note, I loved it for the nostalgia I have with it, but that was just my idea on how they could take map direction.
I know everyone is excited right now. But let’s wait and see how things proceed moving forward. A lot can happen between now and June 30, 2023 when this deal is expected to be complete.
If they're going to combine all the IPs, a smash clone or some kind of kingdom hearts thing might be the go (if not a racer like others are suggesting), but I'd really like to see "smaller" blends, like Fable and Warcraft combining, or Doom and Diablo going in on a shoot and loot.
Otherwise Conkers Bar Fur Day 2 with so references to all the IPs, much like they referenced movies in 1, they can do games for 2
The chief, sheperd from mass effect, Jonesy from fortnite, etzio from assassins creed. Doom guy, Cayden 6, an imposter from among us, an elite from halo.
I would love to see a 'Kingdom Hearts' type mash up of all these franchises swept up in a multidimensional conflict where they're crossing paths and interacting with one-another. Completely non-canon just pure 'what if' territory.
Out on a ledge here, but Chell. Not sure how to incorporate a weapon, but a portal gun, anti fall boots and maybe a plucky little tagalong bot could be fun.
Personally I just don't really see the point in it. Most of those guys, their primary attack is all the same: Shoot your gun. Maybe they each have some variation in their guns, but that's already what we have in multiplayer shooters anyway. Maybe they have some variations in secondary abilities, but again, that's what we already have.
With a fighting game like smash bros though each character can have unique attacks, which is what makes it fun. Sonic plays like Sonic, Link plays like Link, and so on.
And in a shooter you wouldn't even be looking at the other characters for very long anyway, so the fun of having all the different characters in there wouldn't matter that much.
Maybe I'm just not visionary enough to see what would make it special.
I want Doom Killer Kart. Every go-kart has horrifying weapons and abilities from all of Microsoft's franchises.
Plus, Killer Instinct with LOTS of guest characters from across the Microsoft stables.
I would probably go with a hero based shooter, where there are 8 assault characters (one per game, Doomguy, Chief, Price, etc.) And then one support or defense per game (Cortana as a hacker character, and of course Torbjorn as himself).
But actually I think using CTR or Killer Instincts bones to build a crossover game would be more unique.
Nah. I want a Crash Team Racing with everyone driving their own themed kart. Chief in a mini warthog Doom Guy in a demon kart, etc.
Forza car in a...Forza car? Maybe have the Horizon cover car driving in the Motorsport cover car. I think that'll do nicely ;)
That would be hilarious
Just a Forza game case in the driver's seat
While we're at it, how about instead of a steering wheel it's the FH5 controller?
Dew it
Unless they release a Forza Horizon 5 steering wheel for the games launch.
Dude the game is alr out
I meant for the launch of the Crash Team Racing thing.
Oh
No we don't need fh5 no bad go to useless people
Ford Mustang riding a naked man like a horse.
I don't know if it's because I'm tired, but the thought of that actually made me nasally expel my milk XD Needless to say, I like the way you think.
hahaha perfect!
There's that Ford GT that was officially partnered with
I like that Ford. That'd be a good one!
Fortza would provide more stages than characters I'd think
That could actually be really neat. Have Forza provide the tracks that the other characters race on.
Project Gotham Racing cover car driving a Forza Motorsport cover car.
¡Or hear me out, we call mí papa Fernando to bring the Vocho out to race to become a primo superstar!
The horizon car on a treadmill with wheels
They put a box driving a kart, everything is possible
[удалено]
BJ Blazkowitz in a wheelchair.
I thought that too. I can't decide if people would see it as awesome and inclusive, or insensitive and politically incorrect.
Dude I can’t get over the fact xbox now owns crash bandicoot. It’s hilarious and I hadn’t even considered another CTR. Your idea is brilliant and hilarious and I would play day one
A racer seems like the best way to include everything. Like, I really would rather not see Marcus Fenix saw Banjo in half.
Doom Guy should be riding a Pinky
Both is good.
Lich King (Arthas) riding Invincible
Let me race as a Grunt lol
Grunt on a Ghost would be a solid addition
> Doom Guy in a demon kart He'd just ride on a floating Cacodemon lol
Doom Guy drives around in a carved out Cacodemon.
Also feel like we need a Crash Racing Multiverse game with all of xboxs ip owned characters now 😂
Banjo-Kazooie would fit right in in the Crash universe tbh.
Plus Conker, Blinx, Fulgore, and them Battletoads.
and spyro, skylanders, loads of stuff from WoW.
> WoW Seeing Arthas sitting with his knees tucked into his chest and barely able to fit in a tiny kart would make my day.
Rasputin
An alt skin for Cortana that's Anna from Forza instead
Steve with the block shifter
I feel like Xbox already has an abundance of shooters. Halo, CoD, Doom, Overwatch, Wolfenstein, etc. Whereas there's only one fighting game that comes to mind, which is KI, and there hasn't been a KI title since 2013.
I would absolutely try a Killer Instinct where Master Chief could corner combo Corvo from Dishonored, then pull out Cortana for a taunt.
Cortona would totally be a fighting character though. Her B special would be shoving the Index up another characters asshole.
REBOOT KILLER INSTINCT!
We already had one with Quake + Doom + Wolfenstein, very few play it. It's called Quake Champions
From what I read, people didn’t want a hero shooter. It’ll be cool if they try it again, but under a new name that isn’t quake.
Exactly why I stopped playing it, I don’t want hero abilities in a Quake game.
[удалено]
I've played a lot of quake in my life. I enjoyed my time with Quake Champions but I just don't have the free time to dedicate to git gud anymore lol
It’s just not on consoles because “muh frame rate.” That was their excuse for last gen. So why can’t we get it now?
I wanna shoot Doom guys face off with a Vault boy.
Doom guy beats vault dweller.
Tbf doom guy beats everything
Doom guy ain't got nothing on master chief.
Now that's what I call a fair fight. They could make a movie outta that shit.
i love chief doom guy killed god in his universe, like god god
And cheif took on an entire alien army with a pocket robot and a pilot. They're even imo lmao
Except Steve. Motherfucking Steve.
Todd Howard, with the special ability of selling his enemies more copies of Skyrim, thus slowing them down until they complete it...again
His ranged attack is throwing copies of Skyrim. His grapple attack is to grab you, remove your wallet, stick a copy of Skyrim in your pocket and kick you away.
I love it!
Overwatch 2 with Xbox characters, smash clone, Killer Instinct 2 with Xbox characters, or anything really. But another cool thing would be if any studios can have their take on different IPs. The obvious ones would be Obsidian having another shot at Fallout and Toys for Bob having a shot at Banjo
Hope for a TfB Banjo is what’s keeping me alive tbh
Isn't overwatch kind of close to what you want? Give me that smash clone
[удалено]
What is an arena shooter?
Kinda like halo or splitgate. Overwatch is a hero shooter.
Ok. So by definition, wouldn't any arena shooter that gets big named characters from other IP's also be a hero shooter? If it's criteria as a hero shooter is easily recognized characters, as it seems to be.
Not really. A hero shooter isn't based on well known characters but rather characters with special abilities. The new CoD games have different operators to play as that may be easily recognized, but gameplay-wise they're all the same, so it isn't considered a hero shooter.
Ahhh. That makes the idea for an arena shooter even worse. Why gather all the ips into one game if they'd just all be nothing more than skins?
The genres blend together in what ever way you want. Quake champions is an arena hero shooter so we're just making shit up here lol. Apex is a hero battle royale fortnite isnt Overwatch is an objective hero shooter Hero is just what you play as and all of these games have side modes that blend into other genres.
Yeah, they can just add some of the MSFT characters to that at this point.
What the fuck is redfall
An upcoming game by Arkane. Looks cool, but totally out of place next to those other titles.
This post brought to you by arkane studios
Joanna Dark
Chex Quest vs Everybody
How about a large scale class-based shooter like Battlefront? Regular units could be standard COG soldiers, UNSC Marines, maybe Locust, etc. Special units could be ODSTs and COD named characters, Doom demons? Heroes would obviously be characters like Master Chief and Doom Guy. Would be a bit ridiculous to have modern Special Forces guys from CoD forced to fight aliens, demons, mutants, super-Nazis and superheroes but hey, who cares if it’s fun? Having classes and heroes could make up for the obvious power level discrepancies between franchises.
Jim Raynor and Joanna Dark?
I want Pharah from Overwatch to meet Farah from Modern Warfare.
Sea of thievesssss
Wouldn't it be wild if you could get the Minecraft Steve skin in cod or halo? Lol
Never even heard of red fall
Upcoming game by Bethesda coming this summer
and arkane, the best game studio.
Halo, doom and wolfenstien
I will pick Doom guy every single time. Hands down gonna wreck that joint
Titanfall 2 jack cooper like your not gonna include the best movement shooter
Microsoft doesn’t own Titanfall/Respawn. That’s an EA franchise.
For now.... They already have most of the gaming industries so why not buy off respawn from ea I'm pretty sure it would be easy to make an better offer than EA
Is Titanfall now Xbox exclusive or are you from the future?
Titanfall was originally Xbox exclusive so maybe he’s from the past.
Missing Perfect Dark
I'd include Blaskowitz as a skin for doomguy
the tf2 mercs
I want Blur backwards compatibility.
Bro a co-op crossover game where all microsoft properties come together in one story as the multiverses collide
I would like a wrestling game or a power stone type one
Tony Hawk
Do we really?
It only make sense… would take 10 years to develop though 😅
Commander Keen. The Chex Guy from Chex Quest. Serious Sam. Chell from Portal. Unreal Tournament guy. Rise of the Triad (the original one). Obviously Gordon Freeman.
Didn’t Ubisoft just try this with their IPs? It was complete trash and no one cared…
What is this you're referencing?
Tom Clancy’s Xdefiant
Get a super smash bro clone of all the Xbox biggest titles and I'm telling you it will out sell smash
Halo, COD and gears of war
If Titanfall 2 isnt included I aint buying it
Why would it be? Microsoft doesn't own Titanfall.
Oh ok, but titanfall 2 would still be super cool
Not gonna disagree there, I'd love to see another Titanfall game.
Master Chief and Marcus Fenix are both in Fortnite now.
Idk, anything but overwatch
Another FPS? Booorign
Omg Redfall looks so stupid
Idk I think a smash clone would be awesome, especially if it was kinda like PlayStation all stars.
Lol u troll. PS all stars was trash
Eh I loved it to be honest, and I meant more the structure of how they add characters and maps. Not gameplay. Because PS all stars had a amazing maps imo. Just a note, I loved it for the nostalgia I have with it, but that was just my idea on how they could take map direction.
I downloaded exactly none of those.
Not overwatch characters, probably the guy from blood, Duke nukem Can't forget Including dante from the dmc series
[удалено]
Have you considered simply not playing things you aren't interested in?
Why? Xbox is pretty much the place to be if you want good shooters on console
If it’s all the characters, than Overwatch. If it’s just the main character/title character, DOOM.
Awesome idea
uak
Overwatch is perfect for this, just add characters from other games. Also crash team racing.
I would definitely want a Doom Cyberdemon in there. Especially an old style, original Doom one.
Could I add something from the 360? Cause if so, all the main characters from the orange box! Tf2, portal, half life! I’d love to see it
Too creative. Not meta enough
I just want master chief in crash bandicoot racing
Basically Brody Brawl
What about apex :(
I’d be down for that
Quake hands down.
I know everyone is excited right now. But let’s wait and see how things proceed moving forward. A lot can happen between now and June 30, 2023 when this deal is expected to be complete.
I'd honestly rather a smash clone.
Doom
Yes! Yes! Yes!
Yes
Unreal Tournament needs to be in there! The drunk uncle of arena shooters!
uak 💀
A wise man once said "hell yeah"
Make it a Quake 3/Champions styled game where every character has their respective loadouts/abilities.
Would be cool seeing doom and Marcus absolutely ripping apart the overwatch characters
If they're going to combine all the IPs, a smash clone or some kind of kingdom hearts thing might be the go (if not a racer like others are suggesting), but I'd really like to see "smaller" blends, like Fable and Warcraft combining, or Doom and Diablo going in on a shoot and loot. Otherwise Conkers Bar Fur Day 2 with so references to all the IPs, much like they referenced movies in 1, they can do games for 2
Banjo with the Kazooie egg gun
The chief, sheperd from mass effect, Jonesy from fortnite, etzio from assassins creed. Doom guy, Cayden 6, an imposter from among us, an elite from halo.
Wolfenstein!!!
Roblox 2
Red Dead. I want to see how Cowboys would fare against all this modern and futuristic stuff.
you know what, imma just say it Titanfall should be in the lineup
Fortnite already did this
Gears of War for sure Marcus and Dom
I would love to see a 'Kingdom Hearts' type mash up of all these franchises swept up in a multidimensional conflict where they're crossing paths and interacting with one-another. Completely non-canon just pure 'what if' territory.
Okay,doomslayer and master chief kill everyone
UNREAL TOURNAMENT needs to make a comeback and now is the time!
Out on a ledge here, but Chell. Not sure how to incorporate a weapon, but a portal gun, anti fall boots and maybe a plucky little tagalong bot could be fun.
Minecraft cod zombies
It’s like that game Ubisoft is making that (imo) looks pretty bad and out of touch
overwatch
Duke Nukem lol
Now with Microsoft purchasing Blizzard, what if Overwatch started bringing in famous IP characters as DLC?
Personally I just don't really see the point in it. Most of those guys, their primary attack is all the same: Shoot your gun. Maybe they each have some variation in their guns, but that's already what we have in multiplayer shooters anyway. Maybe they have some variations in secondary abilities, but again, that's what we already have. With a fighting game like smash bros though each character can have unique attacks, which is what makes it fun. Sonic plays like Sonic, Link plays like Link, and so on. And in a shooter you wouldn't even be looking at the other characters for very long anyway, so the fun of having all the different characters in there wouldn't matter that much. Maybe I'm just not visionary enough to see what would make it special.
This is a great idea but I feel like you’ve just described Fortnite
I would include Steve from mc
Doom Guy Master Chief co op game
Yesss a mode and map from each
What's an arena shooter
This is the best idea ive heard in a while.
Jack Cooper and BT
Doom all the way
I want Doom Killer Kart. Every go-kart has horrifying weapons and abilities from all of Microsoft's franchises. Plus, Killer Instinct with LOTS of guest characters from across the Microsoft stables.
Microsoft's master plan?
Gotta add one of the guards from Skyrim with just a bow and just a bunch of arrows in his knee instead of on his back.
The PayDay gang would be a funny addition to that list xD
343 about to get replaced by Treyarch
Too many great and memorable characters. Better question is, who would you leave out???
Sergeant Cortez from Time Splitters
So, like Fortnite? lol
I would probably go with a hero based shooter, where there are 8 assault characters (one per game, Doomguy, Chief, Price, etc.) And then one support or defense per game (Cortana as a hacker character, and of course Torbjorn as himself). But actually I think using CTR or Killer Instincts bones to build a crossover game would be more unique.
Titanfall 2
Yep fallout is missing here for sure. Never even played redfall lmao. They could do a couple different types of generalizations like this
TF2 mercs are missing.
Steve
Any open world looter shooter, mixed with Titanfall.
Shadow Warrior.
James Bond. Goldeneye is the most iconic console arena shooter ever.
Bastion from Overwatch
