My guess goes entirely to Phil Spencer. Or a mix of him and Ken Lobb, since he presented it.

One of my most favorite games of all time. I still play OG PD to this day.

I'm kinda actually shocked most people here don't even know of the game. Its a cult-hit and I think it was featured back in the day on a Game Informer magazine. I think that's where I heard of it first then researched online. Great decision on my part. It has absolutely shaped the way I think of video games.

I've never heard of it but it seems alright from what Patrick was saying about it.

Kind of a surprising get for MS. Although kind of awesome. Its a testament to how many people largely ignored the Xbox though. A bunch of hidden gems on that system that alot of people have never played.

After looking at this vid. I do have some memory of phantom dust. I only had a ps2 at the time, but I seen this gameplay before on previews. It looks interesting.

Played it, loved it, got obsessed with it. There is and has been nothing like it. The game could be huge if done right and supported this time. I am more excited about this game than anything else announced by a country mile.

Phantom Dust? The new character from Jojo's Bizarre Adventure right?

My heroes!! You could kinda tell that Ken was super excited to reveal the trailer (or maybe that was just good acting). He said "good design" was how they choose which game to remake, that made me giddy.

So happy to see all the superfans in here - this game really was such a huge impact in my life and in video game culture in general, just given the context:

• One of the first original XBox games to have some serious environment destruction (model swaps before model swaps were cool)
• Came out right around the time of Magic the Gathering: Battlegrounds, which is a game that began with the same idea but executed poorly. Phantom Dust came around and totally reenergized me on the card-game-as-action concept.
• 20$ at launch! I wanted to buy it simply because it was one of the cheapest used games at my local store

Somehow I like to think these two guys knew our love and how bottled it was. I'm so happy ;_;

Moonlight Sonata in the lobby room, please bring that back again!
