Xbox made this a ***** issue when Greenberg stated that 60 fps is the standard for next gen. Their first 2 big exclusives had 60 fps modes then the next 4 didn’t. As long as the game is good 30 fps can be over looked but when Avowed isn’t a big open world game like Starfield and isn’t as graphically intensive as Hellblade 2 it’s a very bad look optics wise.

Little worried from the Dukes preview saying they didn’t confirm 60 fps

OMG can’t believe a Xbox next gen only exclusive is launching with 60fps!!! This ***** is actually nuts. But for real though this is great to see. I hope the team has a big hits on their hands and by extension Xbox might actually have consistent big exclusives this fall.

Can’t wait to see how they spin what was supposed to be an exclusive going to another platform after they said it wouldn’t. Xbox truly needs to figure out their imaging and marketing ***** is getting old.

Damn GSC might really be cooking with this one. The state of new single player shooters this gen is abysmal. The freedom and the immersive sim elements really seem to be shinning through here. Really think this might be one of those breakthrough successes this year.

Anyone with a brain shouldn’t be surprised by these comments. Only Xbox can make Game Pass work cause of Microsoft’s backing. Of course no other 3rd party publisher is gonna willingly put their game on game pass day one unless Xbox offers a big bag of money. And the whole other point here is there is no way the most anticipated game of all time is gonna launch on game pass day one. If you think that would be possible you are stupid.

@InheritNegative you talking about take two leadership or Xbox leadership considering they both shut down successful teams???

@Neither_scene previews have been pretty good in terms of running good on pc’s. Also the system specs are pretty generous. As for Xbox WWZ runs at 60 with all the zombies on screen so Space Marine 2 should be good.

@BAMozzy try to use common sense for a moment. Why would they announce the sequel to their most beloved and arguably most successful game this generation at a 3rd party event? If there is talk about Avowed getting delayed cause there is too many games in game pass this fall why would they announce another one?? Playground is probably all hands on Fable getting it into a super polished state. Come on now don’t say dumb things.

The only thing i better be seeing are some ***** release dates for Indiana Jones and Avowed.

@themightyant I completely understand why they are doing it but that’s not the problem. The problem is why even announce a release window in the first place. Yes fall of 2021 was stacked and it is important to space out their games but will say that time was when Xbox was most successful this generation. We are also getting to the point where Xbox has had so few exclusives that they need to start releasing their exclusives to get more people in to game pass and buy consoles and having a crap ton of presumed quailty exclusives and first party games is the way to do it.

Always delay it if it’s not ready…… but come the ***** on Xbox. Why the ***** did you give a window as fall 2024 not even 2 months ago and then you were going to delay it. Xbox’s planning is ***** horrible and they need to get their release dates figured the ***** out cause this ***** is getting old.

Really sad to see after the final shape did very well. It is part of the over investment into live service games.

@BacklogBrad concord is gonna fail cause it’s a good game when it needs to be great to succeed in this market. It has nothing to do with not being on xbox

Ain’t gonna lie, even with the circumstances they are going through this is still starting to give cyberpunk vibes with how many delays this close to the release date is.

@FarmDog08 the mp is actually in a good spot rn. Don’t even bother with the campaign.

Excited for it just wish they would show off more gameplay and announce a damn release date, ***** like this is getting old.

Good let it rot in the hell it deserves

@DeanyBabyy college football in the USA is very large. Having more teams being spread across the USA allows more fans to connect with a more local team vs NFL

@UltraGuy they are still under Sony and are exclusive. Sony played a role in those games and deserve a lot of credit. Helldivers 2 only costing $40 doesn’t take anything alway from it. In the US it is the best selling game of the year in terms of total $$$ made. And also if Xbox as a whole includes black ops 6 and vessel of hatred when talking about its 1st party The final shape is for damn sure fair to be included with Sony considering they own bungie. Back to the 2nd party games Yes you are right that they don’t own shift up and arrowhead but they still directly are exclusive and they earn $$ from them.

@UltraGuy I seriously don’t know how people can say that Sony’s first party output has been lacking this year?? Helldivers 2 has sold over 12 million copies. Stellar Blade was a great debut on console for Shift Up and Bungie more then delivered on the final shape. Sony has been kicking Xbox’s ass in terms of first party output this year so far.

Easily Fall 2021. Yes they put their games too close too each other but it was the only time they had been consistent with releases this gen. Psychonauts 2, halo infinite, and the best game they have had this gen in forza horizon 5. Now should have halo infinite been delay for more content and also give them a game in Spring 2022 and given Horizon 5 the full spotlight yes absolutely. But Fall 2021 was the glimpse Of what Xbox can be if it gets its ***** together.

Just wish they would announce the damn release date at this point

Xbox needs to rework its comms and marketing team so ABK marketing plays a bigger role and promote Inexile’s social teams to head of all of Xbox cause they are amazing

@K1LLEGAL fair point on hi fi rush and Minecraft legends. But come on man you know console ports don’t have the energy Xbox needs. Also yes redfall is part of the output but it did more harm than good. I am coming from the AAA 1st party games which Xbox needs to be more consistent with.

@K1LLEGAL except it wouldn’t be their full load. Still have OW2, clockwork, es6, blade, and whatever publishing is working with 2nd party teams. Xbox hasn’t had a full year of releases at all this gen and we are past the halfway point. If they are releasing new hardware in 2026 they need to show out next year. We as fans have been waiting for years for a year like that. It would also help if they did release everything only a month apart and space it out. One of Xbox’s biggest blunders was dropping halo infinite so close to horizon 5 when infinite needed more time and it took the shine from the masterpiece that was horizon 5.

I truly hope this is true. Xbox has yet to have a fully stacked year. Even their best year this gen 2021 their 1st half was ***** awful with not releasing stuff and the last 2 years have been very light in the first half. If they can get doom dark ages, GOW E-Day, fable, and south of midnight all released in a separate quarter it would be great to show they finally are having a consistent release schedule.

It’s a great update and the 60 fps does highlight how much improved the gunplay is in this game. This and the Diablo 4 update would have been big Xbox W’s if Xbox hadn’t pulled an Xbox. 1 step forward and 2 steps back is Phil’s internal memo I swear.

And yet they won’t do a ***** physical release

They need to keep the hammer down with in depth looks at Indy and Avowed with release dates. Games like Fable need a 2025 release window. Seems obvious we are gonna see Gears 6 and hopefully State of Decay 3 and Perfect Dark. Really hope we see Clockwork get a 2025 date

@Lup lol come on man it’s pretty obviously COD

Think way too many people are downplaying COD. Treyarch has had over 4 years on this one and it’s also important for Marketing and correlating COD with Xbox again. Getting in the COD bros and having them maybe also play the likes of Avowed and Indy will help with player numbers for all of Xbox.

On paper it’s a great line up, just really hope all of them make a big landing. Have them be graphics power houses and all running flawlessly.

100% yes, especially when the true jump this gen so far has been deeper systems/ more emergent gameplay

I understand the all digital future. But I was really hoping for a physical version. Hopefully avowed and the great circle get physical releases, especially if they are $70.

@Romans12 yea you are gonna be disappointed dog

Want a balance this year. Continue to gameplay reveals for already announced games that where announced way to early. Have several new IPs premiere. The main thing I would say is to start have more consistent release dates all across the year. They need to continue with having AAA exclusives all year long. Also focus on the teams you have now and no large acquisition, aka no publisher. If they make smaller purchases like say Asobo or even GSC game world is one thing but no publishers. Xbox needs to get into a good system for the teams they have already before buying another one.

Hopefully it’s this year. Xbox needs at least one more big exclusive this year and hellblade 2 would fit a big hole in their portfolio. Also doesn’t make sense for one of the big rpgs to release this yest so close to starfield. If they don’t have another big exclusive this year then it would be incredibly disappointing for Xbox.

It’s sad but not too shocking. The game for what it is is overall a solid enough game. Turtle Rock does deserve a lot of credit for adding an offline mode.

***** release dates

Under a year from cgi reveal trailer to release would be ideal but two years from cgi reveal to release isn’t the worst. For Xbox and other companies to reveal games so early and then go completely stone cold silent is a bad move. EA and motive deserve a lot of credit for doing what is probably the best way of announcing a game, doing small dev live streams with in progress updates showing off what they are working on and then ramping up for closer to release

If any of the Xbox studios games stands a chance of releasing its hellblade 2. The first next gen exclusive to be announced and also the only one to have had gameplay shown off. Having that in the back half of the year would go a long way.

For most 3rd party publishers it doesn’t make sense with their big AAA money making games, especially if they are single player focused. People aren’t gonna want to hear this but it’s the truth. The only reason Xbox is able to maintain this is cause Microsoft makes money in other areas. Some games, in particular multiplayer games yes it makes sense but for a lot of 3rd party games it doesn’t.

No one likes a tease

Asobo would be the smartest purchase for them next

Every just do yourselves the favor of picking up hades. It’s cheap, only $20 or $15 for a used copy and enjoy
