I like how Xbox finally found a structure in their presentations after they hired Tina Amini. You have Developer_Direct for upcoming first-party games in january/february, Partner Preview in march, big blowout showcase in june, Gamescom in august, TGS in september and then another Partner Preview in october. Every showcase has different theme and direction so you can distinguish them.
So well done. In terms of games, that new Bloober Team game looks promising and Eternal Strands on GP is great news since I wanted to pick up the game.
I don't understand why are people bitching about it. It's honestly good. Microsoft clearly wasn't interested in Tango, but they at least found a company that is interested in Tango.
Hi-Fi Rush 2 will be on Xbox.
Fine.
Only bad thing about this whole situation was their stupidity to announce closure of studio and dealing with PR disaster, while they found buyer few months later. It would be preferable to first find a partner and announce a sale. Like with Toys for Bob.
Microsoft during CMA trial said that they can't put COD on Game Pass until 2025 implying that Sony have marketing deal. But since they are putting Black Ops 6 in Game Pass in 2024, I guess that they altered the deal with Sony.
Sony would allow Black Ops 6 hitting Game Pass in 2024
Microsoft have to tone down Game Pass marketing for the game
split of revenue is going back to 70:30 (Sony gave Activision special deal for 80:20 revenue split)
And that's not me saying that this is exactly what happened. I just think that this is huge probability of what happened.
I mean...duh? It's obvious rational for him as a third-party publisher. He knows that GTA VI will sell tens of millions of copies, so he is in comfortable position saying that. On the other hand it's hilarious that he is saying that considering he recently slashed entire publishing division on it's knees (Private Division). Also, he is fortunate enough to have GTA Online and NBA 2K funding his company for years on end.
Also, even if he wanted to create sub service, it isn't feasible for Take-Two considering fact that they are only able to make 2-3 games per year, which is just not enough.
@fizban3332 What? This is exactly the thing Microsoft is doing - spacing games. They have 9 pieces of games/expansions for next 5 months. Without Avowed. Also, I really doubt that Fable was even considered for early 2025. It always sound like "late 2025" game and we will be glad if it even make it for 2025.
With how dumb Microsoft's strategy of releasing games usually is (releasing every game in second half), spreading games is nice change of pace.
They already have huge amount of content for rest of this year. And Dragon Age is also releasing in fall. And november is packed with games especially after Stalker 2 delay into november.
So having Q1 - Avowed, South of Midnight Q2 - Doom The Dark Ages Q3 - Fable Q4 - Call of Duty 2025 With few other games sprinkled? Sounds good to me.
@Ricky-Spanish It's hilarious that you are talking about this like it was unexpected and you are implying that someone lied to us, when literally PC Gamer's story about this is
"The long-awaited changes to Microsoft's subscription services have arrived"
@PsBoxSwitchOwner Saying that PS Plus Extra is doing day 1 stuff is pretty generous tbh. Because since launch of the service there were maybe 5 games that were released day one(Stray, Sea of Stars, Animal Well, Dave the Diver and Tales of Kenzera). None of the was first-party.
Also, Standard is not getting first-party games day one. But that doesn't mean that it won't get third-party games day one
@PsBoxSwitchOwner Well, it currently have. If it won't have I will stop subbing. Because day one releases are main point of subbing for me.
Even at 17,99€, Ultimate is well worth to me. Next year I would had to buy Doom The Dark Ages, Fable, South of Midnight and plenty other games that will be in Game Pass. Only those three full priced games covers my yearly Ultimate payment.
@Ricky-Spanish What? How can it be "not in the news," but Spencer said it? If he said it, you probably read it somewhere. And if you read it, googling it takes probably 15 seconds.
But you can't find it, because he didn't said it. Not recently. Fact that he was talking about "holding prices" in 2021 is pretty irrelevant in 2024 after inflation surge.
And that's not me defending Microsoft. Every price increase is bad for consumer. But this price increase was pretty much telegraphed months in advance for everyone who is reading Xbox news. So many people around Microsoft (like Tom Warren) was talking about it, that expecting no price increase was stupid. It was just about "how big of a price increase"
@Ricky-Spanish Who lied about price increase? I mean, for last few months it was obvious that they will increase prices. Tom Warren talked about this and Microsoft execs also implied it.
@Ooccoo_Jr Point is to offer bad value with Standard to "force" people to sub for Ultimate. I mean...for additional 4$ per month you are getting first-party games in subscription day one.
I'm not going to hold my expectations for Gamescom. Maybe Towerborne release date...
Honestly, I don't think we currently need any more games being showcased this year. Yea, their Showcase lacked some games that were announced ages ago (mainly Everwild and Contraband), but current Microsoft focus should be on fall and holiday period.
They have stacked last three months of the year. ARA, Age of Mythology and Stalker 2 in september, COD in october, Avowed and Flight sim in november and Indy in december. Make sure you are tying those releases to Game Pass and consoles (especially Call of Duty). Be aggressive with pricing.
And if those games will pan out in expected quality, then you can talk about more games in January.
There would be nothing better like Developer_Direct with Fable, South of Midnight and Doom after stacked late 2024.
Then prepare next showcase for june 2025 with new announcements.
@NeutronBomb Well. Game Pass is everything for Microsoft and it's growth is bedrock of future of Xbox business. And what is the better way to grow a Game Pass then with most popular yearly shooter?
To me, only thing that could prevent COD 2024 being day one in Game Pass is when SOny still have marketing deal which would prevent this possibility.
But I can also imagine Microsoft trying to put ABK games into Game Pass Ultimate exclusively.
lol. They are not "switching engines" Arkane Lyon (Blade developers) always used Void engine. Dishonored 1, 2, Death of the Outsider and Deathloop are all on Void engine. Arkane Austin used different engine for different projects. They used CryEngine for Prey and Unreal for Redfall.
It's inevitable. Genie is already out of bottle and you can't put him back. If X company will use AI during game development and lower time/budget of AAA game while Y company will refuse to use AI and will make more expensive game with higher budget then X company will be more successful. It's just how things work.
Houdini (for example) was introduced to allow developers to create huge lands of gaming space in small amount of time. Did anybody employed 100+ more devs to create this by hand instead? Nope. Nobody is that stupid. But even Houdini requires "touch" from developer after generating land. Same here.
Since document is from 2020 I don't think we should take GhostWire 2 for granted. Especially since there is a rumor that Tango is making JRPG... Otherwise excellent list. Dishonored 3 and new DOOM? Gimme
I don't want to be rude to developer, but I have not seen any game that needs speeds of PS5's SSD. Not even Rift Apart where developer touted it as a necessity and voila....on PC in same game you won't even need an SSD.
And if you find dev of this game, he seems like pretty insane PS fanboy.
So maybe it is tinfoil hat time but it really seems like he is using console war fuel to boost marketing for his game. And since this messages are covered by media, it is clearly working.
I would not be surprised if he released PS5 version of a game by driving on this nonsense and then made statement like "DirectStorage is magic. Everything is solved." And then he will try to sell Xbox port on console war ***** once again...
Just look at the gameplay. If you want to claim that this stuff needs 8GB/s SSD for it to function something is seriously wrong with optimisation
@InterceptorAlpha Nope. I'm not saying that. Clearly studios did not think that this is an issue. People just implied here that this is problem of Xbox platform, when it is clearly not the case.
Excelent format for future. That Hi-Fi Rush shadowdrop was excelent and only negative thing was no firm date for Forza Motorsport. 2023 is shaping to be great year for Xbox overall.
Of course they are against. All ActiBlizz backend and server infrastructure of ActiBlizz games is running on Google Cloud. The moment this deal goes through, they are switching to Azure.
Obviously it does not make a sense for Take-Two. Because they are 1. not a console manufacturer with access to not only first-party but also third party content 2. they are releasing 2-3 games per year which is can not sustain subscription service.
I don't get what Sony was expected. Deal to have COD until end of time? I mean. Of course Microsoft would timegate that deal. But that does not mean that after that they can't make new deal (see Minecraft - I doubt that deal is "for eternity). So every three year you make a new deal which covers next 3 COD games. Simple.
@UltimateOtaku91 I think there is huge difference between paying for development of indie game like Stalker 2, Scorn, Ascent etc. and moneyhatting games from huge publisher like Deathloop, GhostWire, Final Fantasy, KOTOR Remake etc.
Like, nobody is mad at Sony that they moneyhatted Kena Bridge of Spirits, Stray and stuff like that. Because everybody can understand difficulty of game development and money from Sony probably got devs better sleep at night.
But to moneyhat Square Enix? One of the biggest publisher on Earth? Sorry. That's not cool at all.
But whatever. Forspoken looks terrible, so it is not that big of a loss and I literally don't care about Final Fantasy at all. Deathloop will be out this year in Game Pass and GhostWire next year also on Game Pass. And since KOTOR is a remake I'll just wait .
@Richnj Yeah. But iD made a Battlemode. And guess how that panned out.
If 343 with 540 employees struggles to get out content quick enough how better would iD with 300 employees do?
And don't get me wrong. Doom games are excelent and better then Halo Infinite campaing. But my point is...let iD make games that they are good at making. Not twist them and force them to work on Halo.
Microsoft won't take Halo from 343. There is no point in doing that. It makes more sense to restructure 343.
@Kooky_Daisuke ehh nope. Outside of fact that you would need to "force" id to make Halo games (which is clearly against current Xbox philosophy of letting devs working on games they wanted to make) i really don't think iD is capable in terms of running live service game. And Halo Infinite needs to be live service.
I mean, iD is great in making SP focused games, but MP in Doom 2016 was just plain bad and Battlemode in Eternal is okayish at best.
So what would you exactly solve by forcing id to make Halo games?
@HungryHungryHomer And why shoud I care? If Sony is offering something for 13,99€ per month and Microsoft is offering something better for 13,99€ I would obviously go with Game Pass.
If Sony if offering ***** service then GP, without day-one first party games, they should charge less for their service. If not I will compare them equally, because they cost same money.
Also, Ryan's ***** are just that. *****. Last year Microsoft was highest rated publisher on Metacritic while releasing all their first-party games in GP. Meanwhile, Sony charged 80€ for Returnal and Ratchet and can't beat Microsoft. So what does it tells you?

Re: It's Official, Xbox's Avowed Has Been Delayed Until 2025
@fizban3332 What?
This is exactly the thing Microsoft is doing - spacing games. They have 9 pieces of games/expansions for next 5 months. Without Avowed.
Also, I really doubt that Fable was even considered for early 2025. It always sound like "late 2025" game and we will be glad if it even make it for 2025.
What a dumb take.
Re: Xbox First-Party RPG Avowed Reportedly Delayed Until Early 2025
I'm kinda okay with it.
With how dumb Microsoft's strategy of releasing games usually is (releasing every game in second half), spreading games is nice change of pace.

Re: New Xbox Showcase Rumour Hints At Plenty Of Surprises This Sunday
@BBB ESO just launched an expansion. So I doubt game will be at showcase
Re: New Xbox Showcase Rumour Hints At Plenty Of Surprises This Sunday
So..to recap
Will be there: Indiana Jones and the Golden Circle, Starfield Shattered Space, Avowed, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024
Probably will be there: Towerborne, ARA, Age of Mythology Retold, Diablo IV: Vessel of Hatred
Heavily hinted: Gears 6, Doom: The Dark Ages, Silksong, Dragon Age 4
Less heavily hinted: Perfect Dark, State of Decay 3, Assassin's Creed Shadows
That's 16 from 30
And another unannounced first-party games? Good lord.

Towerborne
Indiana Jones
Hellblade 2
Avowed
ARA: History Untold
Replaced
Silksong
Call of Duty: Gulf War
Stalker 2
and there are plenty of rumors for additional projects maybe releasing in 2024.
Not bad
