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.
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.
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.
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.
Allowing the cod support teams to work on other things under Bethesda and Xbox as well will help out a lot. The amount of support teams Xbox has now will also benefit the other main first party teams greatly as well
Realistically beside the obvious redfall and starfield. Think seeing avowed and hellblade 2 are pretty high odds with hopefully 2023 (1st half if we get lucky) release dates. Every other XGS game besides forza is up in the air. With the dev problems with everwild, state of decay 3 and perfect dark who knows. I know it may be to early but I do think it’s possible to see fable though I could see them hold off if avowed gets a big show since having two big open world fantasy rpgs would probably not be ideal. Contraband will likely be there. I think out of the four first party teams that have been the most quite ( zenimax online, roundhouse, inexile and compulsion) I think we see what three of the four are working on, I specifically want/ hope compulsion and inexile are there and they are working on new ip not related to anything else. For third party, plage tale requiem is a given. Also think we’ll see Jedi fallen order 2. Think it would be cool if some of the quiet studios that are working on big new ip ( creative assembly, 31st union, teams like that) would be really cool if they show up. I just want to see three main things. 1. GAMEPLAY is the most important thing and the biggest thing Xbox has been lacking. 2. Release dates and windows, specifically first half of 2023. 3. New ip, Xbox really needs new ip and the likes of redfall and starfield are good starts but they need more. Besides those two the only other new ip is everwild and we all know how that’s going. Even avowed is technically a pillars spin off. They have quite a few reboots in the works and sequels. Would love to see new ip.
