Lobb: games have not yet been announced in this year's arrival, details on Scalebound and Phantom Dust

The Partner Creative Director of Microsoft Games Studios Ken Lobb has recently released an extensive interview to YouTube channel Ict Podcast , chatting of more and less about the future line-up of Xbox One and revealing several interesting information.

For one thing, Lobb said, regarding the exclusive coming in 2015, there are a couple of games not yet announced who will arrive before the big "bombs" in the autumn and that players will be pretty surprised when they are revealed. Speaking instead of more upcoming release, Lobb wished to commend the quality of downloadable title Golds and the Blind Forest , explaining that it is a game " phenomenal ", adding that even the roller coaster Simulator Screamride , which so far has not spoken much, is " insanely insane ".

Lobb is then passed to talk about some productions so far only announced but of whom very little is known. One of these is Scalebound , of the Japanese talentuosissimi Platinum Games: the manager explained that we'll finally fit playable during the year and that it is a "fantastic" game, something that players will recognize as a great AAA production. Lobb explained that the Microsoft Games Studios are giving the maximum to help Platinum-Edge that has recently defined the best developer in the world -to make Scalebound a phenomenal title, which might be remembered for a long time to come. Relates to the genre of game, Lobb said that Platinum is doing the type of game " that do best ", and if we think that among their productions there are titles like Bayonetta , Vanquish and MGR: Revengeance , this should give us an idea of the kind that there be proposed.

Lobb is then passed to talk about another title so far shrouded in mystery: Phantom Dust . Lobb explains that the game will maintain the structure of title fights in arenas with structure by card game , but that everything will be much clearer to the players than the original Xbox game and especially that this basic structure will be immersed in a campaign JRPG about 30 hours. It was also confirmed that the title will collide with other players online and that this will be feasible after a few hours from the beginning of the game, because players will " deck " of cards help fight relatively early, as in the original game were even 15 hours before being able to compete in the online arena. On the trailing period, however, it is likely that the title did not come out in 2015 because the team is still experimenting with some gameplay mechanics and you don't want to crowd too exclusive Christmas.

American manager has also wished to commend the work accomplished so far on Crackdown , explaining that the game will introduce levels of destruction and physical simulation ever seen before and that really shows the power of cloud computing . Lobb explains that the development team likes to talk about the game as " physical chemistry ", something which he believes to be the future of game design: we combine different effects and elements and get spectacular results.

Regarding other recent rumor, finally, Lobb said that currently there are new titles in development for the brand Perfect Dark and Battletoads , but that Microsoft-and Phil Spencer in particular-is well aware that these are franchise loved by fans and that surely will be exploited in the future to create noteworthy titles.

It seems, therefore, that the future of the Xbox One, with regard to future games is absolutely interesting: we look forward to seeing what will bring the E3 in June.
