@scarred_fox I doubt they will ever do a blast corps game. If they do make a game it will definitely be one of the more popular games, like Banjo, Conker, Battletoads or Perfect Dark.

I'm still accepting applicants (no y chroms) for the new "Popsicle simulator" IP.

*sign* This is tiresome work, running this program takes a lot out of me.

Nice to see that the new game Evolve has some modest PC requirement specs. My gaming rig that I built over 3 years ago now will easily kick it, as it has done with every other game I bought and played. I played Evolve at the last EB Games Expo with some friends and have to say I was impressed. You have to definitely use tactics and your abilities and also work together as a team being the hunters, in which we were. We all got slaughtered of course because we didn't. I am not generally into multiplayer online games but will give this one a go when it gets released. I am not "shocked" about Microsoft/Platinum riding the hype train for their new IP. I'm not a console gamer so I pretty much don't care for it but it's funny seeing them using the same hype tactics as Ubisoft.

@digigamerx For most team games players usually still run off and do their own thing so it will be interesting to play this because it will require actual teamwork.

They have so many games to do, and so far they have ignored each and every one of them. Why microsoft, why have you ignored all this games for all this years? I hope I see one of this games before I die.

1. Conker
2. Banjo & Kazooie
3. Battletoads
4. Perfect Dark
5, Jet Force Gemini

keyboards has being made the advanced gameplay

that peharps controllers from part of vr experience to be made,

than besides graphics updates, a more complex settings to learn

so the character to have more interactive options for a play.

habilities from switch different plays that besides graphical failule of what to do

in progress of a more complex programming that also mix a first person updates

than combats to not be restricted from a single interactive engine.

something like that from what already looks nice video quality.

Not sure if this is poetry or really bad chinglish/singlish. Either way it's kind of funny and curiously intriguing at the same time.

Reading all the requirements for Evolve was a good filler I guess :).

Banjo-Kazooie would be cool. There aren't enough 3D platformers anymore.

Also Donkey Kong 64 doesn't get enough recognition, Rare did and awesome job on that game. A new 3D DK platformer would be awesome....on the WiiU of course

@incrediblmullet No chance there....it's one of the very few exclusives Nintendo has to rely on it's success.
