It's been over 20 years since Microsoft first launched the Xbox, so it's little surprise that some of the games and franchises that were once big parts of the Xbox experience have been left to rot over the years. Among them, though, are some bona fide classics just begging to see a return to the gaming scene, so let's talk about a few forgotten favourites which we hope aren't forever lost to time... and maybe a few that absolutely are, but we refuse to let go.
As a kind of halfway house between Forza's Motorsport and Horizon offerings, there's absolutely room for PGR in today's market, although who would develop it is another matter. MS would be unlikely to pull Turn 10 or Playground away from Forza to work on what is today a much weaker brand, but with the right team behind the wheel, a comeback could be amazing.
N-3 Ninety-Nine Nights May not be everyone’s pick, but I want it to come back. Or at least become available on GP.
Like deus ex?
Plz those pages and stories you read make me tear up everyone of them it’s so good
Make a new conker for christs sake.
Ff7 style Lost odyssey remake as far as fighting goes.
Lost odyssey is the only one I’d be all for
1 vs 100
Yes mechassault needs a long over due rehash along with crimson sky’s a 2023 quality sequel.
I remember my first time playing that game. I had no idea it had transitioned to gameplay mode for 11 seconds. I call this game Not Final Fantasy
its puzzling to me that this is stuck on backward compatibility with no way to play it on PC or gamepass
I find it equal parts baffling and infuriating that they're sitting on Lost Odyssey while Sony locks in FF exclusivty. A next gen remake would have been amazing, you can guarantee if it was a PS IP we'd already have it.
Mech Assault
Yes 🙏❤️
Give me another Quantum Break!
Gears of War 2 & 3 😭
Let's be honest, besides Conker and Banjo those games would sell awful
XboxP3 are you taking notes of this thread please Phil? As a huge fan for Lost Odyssey please check into how many are desiring something happens with it, I think Gamepass is by far the best platform to bring it to recognition it deserves, mention the creators of FF made it.
Really stretching the boat there with your selections of the 'greats'
yeah!
kameo:eop remake
Yall been begging for 10 years
Too Human!
one things for sure though if Xbox doesn't start releasing atleast 4 exclusives per year before the PS6 arrives in 2028 there will be no future Xbox consoles. Every xboxer I know is already pissed off at the series X line up.
Microsoft can't even make new games let alone revive old ones. Just give it up and sell that piece of crap 🤣🤣🤣
Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon for Steam Deck please 🙏🏻
Nobody cares about this outside of the hard-core community
💯
Stop messing around
Zoids alternative or Operation Darkness anyone We never got them in Europe 😭 zoids Xbox_Spain XboxP3 Atlus_West
That game was truly epic it needs a remake
Just a Xbox version of a Morden Freelancer would be awesome thanks, hoping Starfield will give us some of that.
Microsoft's entire brand is built on sitting on classics and doing fuck all with them. It has always been this way.
Eternal Sonata would be the greatest.
I’ve never understood all the hype around lost odyssey
Used to love PGR Add Def Jam Fight for NY to the mix
Just a PC port of Lost Oddissey would be great to finally play it in the Steam Deck...
Freelancer I want that game so bad
I'd love to play Lost Odyssey again.
I am shocked that Lost Odyssey isn't even for streaming on Game Pass Ultimate. I would play it on PC for sure of it ended up there since I don't own a Xbox.
I spent so many hours in Midtown Madness 2 toying around with all the hilarious cheats
I loved Microsoft's virtual reality from the 1980's.
I would love for Lost Odyssey to at least get a 4k upgrade, 60fps, full HDR, etc. I love playing the game tho and the graphics still hold up today.
they should stay dead
I want a Conker remake so bad.
Guitar Hero, anyone?
METAL ARMS: GLITCH IN THE SYSTEM!!! metalarms glitchinthesystem
The list should've had Kameo, my god please someone do a sequel or remake of that, i'd play it all over again
xbox please bring this back
Timed Exclusive
I’d love a Lost Odyssey sequel 😭 the game has so much to offer 🔥🔥🔥
Banjo and Conker the three people that actually want to see Lost Odyssey return… it was a lame game. It sold nothing and nobody cared about it.
Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon were favs from the Xbox 360 days
I mean, Lost Odyssey is accessible and easily purchasable on the Xbox Series X. What more do you want them to do with it?
... Played Last Oddyssey a couple weeks ago on Gamepass....How the fuck people liked this game. I couldn't get past the first encounter...
I'd love to see Need For Speed Most Wanted to come back. Make Remaster Halo Reach & 3 like Halo 2
Brute force!
Adam407
Dead Xbox games that must make a comeback.. entirely on need or want by gaming community or consumers. They want to remake a dead Xbox game.. do a consensus.. ask “is there interest in (x) game & should we remake it ?”.
Sudeki😞
Halo and gears
Timesplitters 👏🏻
Forgot Chromehounds in that list.
GIVE ME A BRUTE FORCE REMAKE!
Brute force, jade empire, banjo , conker, lost oddessy, fusion fanzy, blinx, shadowrun, phantom dust and more
This and Blue Dragon are probably the only reason why i still got my 360 :P Wish they would rerelease them somehow
More votes from me for PGR, 1 vs 100 and absolutely Midtown Madness!!
it is not only Xbox don't forget mistwalker made it. Same with Blue Dragon ;)
Just waiting of Lost Odyssey to miraculously be announced for a PC Port :(
Where's my Kameo remaster/sequel. LOVED that game.
Lost Odyssey Remake con gráficos de nueva generación por favor.
What’s interesting. I am literally playing through Lost Odyssey right now lol
Would love to see a Ryse sequal/Remake. Definitely deserves a second chance.
Xbox is so soulless now.
Lost Odyssey was amazing
Oh my god. 1 vs 100. I used to love watching that and the one time I got in to the 100 the 1 crashed out so early none of us got prizes. The host was excellent, very fun concept!
Viva Piñata 🪅
Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon were amazing JRPGs
Jade Empire
So happy to see Project Gotham Racing on the list, that game franchise is so underrated. Brought me so much joy growing up
Majin and the forsaken kingdom also needs a remake not sure if microsoft owns it
I started a replay of lost odyssey recently and it looks amazing on series x. Would love to see it updated to work with all the features of the series x.
Given the developmemt history behind Lost Odyssey, I imagine the logistics for a big remaster project would be tremendous, but bloody hell it really deserves one
This is what cancelled Scalebound probably might be like but with dragons. I want to see a Lost Odyssey 2, it could be cooler than Final Fantasy also and in Unreal Engine 5 for Lost Odyssey 2. What if Lost Odyssey 2 was best jrpg of the year
I wanna see ninety nine nights come back.. reckon that style of game would do great in gamepass maybe better if was a GAAS with constabt improvements etc. would also love to see kingdom under fire, banjo/conker & 1v100
Any FF fan (and specifically FF9) is doing himself a disservice by not playing the real FF13
Band of brothers needs a remake.
All great ideas for games to live stream too! 😃
I am genuinely pissed that Spider-Man web of shadows, shattered dimensions and edge of time didn't qualify for backwards compatibility. I loved those games growing up and would kill to see them get remastered.
Lost Odyssey needs a remaster/LO1 on PC GamePass and a sequel.
Dude why does no one include Shadowrun 😭 It was so ahead of its time to the point that OW and Valorent are just doing now, what it was doing then 😐
It do be tru. Playstation 5 got no games, would be a great time for Xbox to bring back what it has
I've legit sent them feedback emails Every few months on why lost Odyssey needs some love so it can be recognised for what it is a hidden gem, even suggesting expand it out to pc also not just xbox 👍
XboxP3 please do something with Lost Odyssey and the backwards compatibility on Series S!
GIVE ME BLINX ASAP.
Nobody played that shit then..and nobody will play it now lol
Lost odyssey is one of the greatest games ever made. Needs a sequel.
Brute Force needs a remake !
XboxP3 aarongreenberg BondSarah_Bond Any chance of new ones?
Midtown Madness 4 made by playground when?
Sitting on classics for over a decade. Xbox don't give two shits about their original games.
Lost oddsessy was awesome one of the best early Xbox games
Microsoft don't care
Fracture! Who remembers that? It was like Red Faction but in total reverse. Not blowing up walls and ground but raising and warping it instead.
Banjo and conker.
or xbox live for original xbox turning back on
Blue Dragon, Lost Odyssey, Jade Empire, and Blinx all need a comeback.
No es un juego para todos, es difícil aun para ser por turnos y su narrativa por medio de historias puede ser molesto, pero es un juegazo. Lo estoy transmitiendo en Twitch y cuando lo termine lo publicare en YouTube.
I just want them to release what we know about.
Also would love to see fusion frenzy, 1vs100, and viva piñata return
