Microsoft has been touting it’s commitment to Indie Games and Developers since the launch of the Xbox One and its ID@Xbox program. During their stage presentation at this year’s E3, they showed an impressive trailer highlighting a huge number of forthcoming titles. A few of the highlights are: Another World, Mighty No. 9, There Came and Echo, Source, Cuphead, Wulver Blade, Qubo and Habitat.
Given the diversity of the title on show, it seems that Microsoft really is serious about indie gaming on it’s new console. While we’ll have to wait a while to get our hands on some of the games, theres a lot of promise here and hopefully Microsoft’s commitment to Indies stays strong.
Check out the full trailer below and let us know what you are excited for from ID@Xbox:
Phantom Dust was a hybrid card game/strategy game for the original XBox. It was loved by fans, and featured a unique set of gameplay mechanics as players amassed over 300 skills and fought to find out why the Earth was in it’s current state. In a surprise move, a new entry into the series was shown at Microsoft’s press conference today at E3. A (presumably) CGI trailer, nothing in the way of gameplay was shown, but it was enough to get old school fans of the franchise excited. Stay tuned in for more info!
Sunset Overdrive was on full display during Microsoft’s E3 Show, and the game is shaping up to be a rather unique experience. The gameplay showcased the player hopping, grinding and zipping around some expansive environments. Bright and colorful with a firmly tongue in cheek sense of humor, the game appears to be a light hearted third person romp featuring massive destruction and hilarious gunplay. No surprise considering Insomniac is the studio behind the title. The game is set to feature 8 player online co-op in it’s “Chaos Mode” when it launches on Xbox One on October 28, 2014
The rumors of Halo 2 Anniversary weren’t only true, they were better than true.
Master Chief will indeed return on Xbox One with a remastering of his epic 2004 sequel – arguably the most anticipated and beloved game in Xbox history – and he will hit Microsoft’s newest console with the original Halo 2 multiplayer completely intact.
Microsoft and 343 Industries will, in fact, release Halo: The Master Chief Collection on November 11 – nearly a decade to the day since Halo 2’s November 9, 2004 arrival – and it will include Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary, Halo 2 Anniversary, Halo 3, and Halo 4. All will run in 1080p and 60 frames per second and include their full multiplayer suites in their original forms, with the added bonus of running on dedicated servers. Oh, and it’s also packing your ticket to the Halo 5: Guardians multiplayer beta that begins in December 2014, as well as the digital film Halo: Nightfall, an episodic release that will premiere on November 11 and run in multiple weekly installments
Lets take a look at what was announced…
The main part:
All four Master Chief Halo games on one disc Custom playlists that allow you to string together missions across multiple games Halo 5 beta key included
All four games – developed as a collaboration between 343 Industries (user interface, online infrastructure, etc.), Saber Interactive (Halo 2 Anniversary campaign), and Certain Affinity (multiplayer) will ship on a single, $60 Blu-ray disc; the individual games will not be available as separate digital downloads. You’ll run a single master user interface, from which you can queue up anything you want. All campaign levels are unlocked from the get-go, and playlists created and curated by 343 will allow you to experience moments from across all four campaigns in a variety of ways. For example: want to play all the Warthog levels in every game? Jump into that playlist and you’ll be able to do just that.
Meanwhile, multiplayer matchmaking will offer the usual assortment of playlists you’ve come to expect from Halo games – Team Snipers, Rumble Pit, etc. – and let players vote on which map they want next. But what’s cool is that you may be presented with three choices that span three different games. Say, Halo: CE’s “Wizard,” Halo 2’s “Lockout,” and Halo 3’s “The Pit.” Whichever gets the most votes is the game that MCC will launch, after which you’ll be taken back to the multiplayer lobby with your friends. Finally, the Extras menu is home to the Nightfall digital feature as well as the launch pad for December’s Halo 5: Guardians multiplayer beta. It will run from December 27, 2014, and end on January 22.
This Collection packs a whopping 4,000 Achievement points, as they’ve been allotted 1,000 per game from Microsoft. Some of those will be exact replicas of their original Gamerscore-earners, but some will be new, too.

Personally, I’m looking forward to the collection, keep an eye on the Sanitarium.FM website for more news as we get it!
