@somnambulance it'll be nice if a third person, over the shoulder, story driven game doesn't win for a change but thats why i dont know if BG3 will win because the industry prefers those types of games. Hell, Forza Horizon 5 was one of the highest rated racing games ever when it released and didn't get a nod.

We know the obligatory indie will get a nomination, though.

@Trmn8r hoping for a sequel!

New info was released today as well: 20+ named companions for the game, jail system, you can have homes in multiple cities, smuggle contraband through checkpoints, all factions quests can be done separately.

Man, I cannot WAIT!

@somnambulance Lest not forget the beginning of 2023 as well with Hogwarts and Hi-Fi rush, which also are worthy of GOTY consideration, Not to mention Forza and Super Mario RPG remake, AND Resident Evil 4. Man, such great games!

@somnambulance TOTK will probably win because the high score and almost 20 million sales, i agree. To be honest, i liked BOTW more than TOTK. Didnt care for the building stuff.

@Fiendish-Beaver It's currently the number 1 wishlisted game on steam and has been trending all week on twitter, has had new information all week, and just went gold today (which is currently being talked about in most places). I'm not really sure what "not being talked about" means then ...

@Kaloudz guaranteed it'll peak over 1 million on Steam. Guaranteed.

@Fiendish-Beaver "no one is really talking about starfield ..." HUH?

Already got that premium upgrade ready to go August 31st. I suppose all that fake concern for not being gold will just be used to concern elsewhere. My body is ready, however.

@Tonmoy Indeed.

@Darylb88 my thoughts exactly, you push literally one button up and you're at your games and apps section. The random outrage people have for the dumbest stuff is crazy. I turn on my system and immediately go into my game. don't even spend time searching the dashboard.

@BAMozzy Nintendo is the only company is makes sense for because their online is still so far behind they kinda need it. Sony rarely even has online features in their games. Xbox I'm just surprised they don't drop it all together. Think it will at some point.

@BAMozzy see how terrible and barebones GT7's split screen is i'm not surprised this is the route they are going. The industry has basically thrown it to the wayside, surprised they are bothering TBH.

@Kaloudz split-screen is the only thing that appears to be the problem and since the industry seems to be moving farther and farther away from this feature if they just get rid of it we probably wouldn't hear as much about it.

Just drop split screen and be done with it. With the demanding nature of games and the ability to play online these days its a product of its time. Seeing how fewer and fewer games are using it and the sheer barebones nature of GT7's interpretation of it i think it's time that feature drives off into the sun.

@Kaloudz we know how it ends, sadly.

Can't wait.

Early access here i come!

I'm actually glad it isn't coming the same week as Starfield, both since I'm playing Starfield anyway and because Baldur's Gate can get 2 bites at the apple. I think releasing against it would have drowned it out on xbox, while this way it'll have multiple times to shine.

A win/win if you ask me.

@vded Probably not for $70 but look on CDKeys and it's currently around $41 for the cross gen bundle. I thought the campaign was great, and that's all i plan on playing. I'd jump on that price!

All i want to know is how the career mode is. I'm not a HUGE Forza Motorsports fan (prefer Horizon) but if they do a great single player I must just stick around for awhile.

Can't wait. I don't really want to see too much more since i already got the premium upgrade with game pass to play it early. Don't need any hype built since i know i'll be there to judge for myself.

CAN'T EFFING WAIT!

After playing the MW2 campaign on sale from CDKeys I'm actually REALLY looking forward to this campaign. really enjoyed it.

Just finished the campaign of MW2 this weekend, REALLY enjoyed it. Crazy to think this will be first party for Xbox. Startfield, Forza, then MW3 to finish the year. What an absolute banger of a way to end 2023!

And another one. Should be any time now.

Oooo baby. It's coming. And I'll be there with that early access to jump in. CAN'T WAIT!

continuing to improve the console experience. Keep it up team xbox.

Is Spider-Man playable at this event?

Xbox team is just not stopping. After all the ABK stuff Phil immediately on a plane to Square-Enix, and now the crew over at Kojima. Glad to see they are trying to bring Xbox to new heights!

Hoping the career mode in substantially robust in this one, since I liked the older Forza's but want a career mode that will keep me around.

FF14 just announced for xbox, but Phil dont care about consoles!!!!

i really REALLY want to get one of these but that battery life needs to improve big time.

@Moonglow internet people gotta internet. Never happy, always complaining. That's the status quo, per usual.

@Kaloudz that electric lasso is great and the set pieces are awesome!

@Kaloudz yes it has a dlc where you can play as duke nukem but damn if that game isnt awesome. HIGHLY recommend it. It's currently on sale for the ultimate game sale at 3.99. You can't NOT get it at that price.

@Kaloudz do yourself a favor and go get bulletstorm full clip edition. man, that game is good!

Technically i believe that MS can still close in the US at ANY time if they see fit, if they think the UK is going left I believe.

So it's just a minor delay.

I'm VERY interested to see a robust MS mobile space and by-pass apple/google play store. Those 2 behemoths definitely need competition.

If not for the expansions and stuff i probably wouldn't but with that ill be jumping in!

Can't wait!

@jedinite You keep the DLC and everything that comes with that but not the game after you unsub, otherwise everyone would sub for a month, buy the expansion for half the price of the game, and cancel and expect to keep the game. No way would that work.

After I'm done playing Final Fantasy VI pixel remaster on the switch will jump back on the xbox. Hoping for AEW fight forever to hit the service or get heavily discounted. Will scratch my arcade wrestling itch.

@Kaloudz thats not to say other games wont be like overwatch ect. Multiplayer games i fully expect (just like bethesda) but single player probably exclusive. I suspect most things will go this route on xbox and sony since multiplayer games need a big player pool, while single player games dont. It just isnt in writing, now.

The new 10 year agreement is limited to COD only and is different than the original confirms The Verge. The original agreement would have been for other ABK stuff and the current franchises would have had future iterations available on PS. Sony’s ordeal through the whole thing now makes other franchises a question mark. Actions have consequences, and looks like the dragging out of this may cost Sony future games they would have had if they had just signed the deal.

Confirmed it was for 10 years. Bet marketing deal ends sooner than originally, tho, but won't be disclosed. PS wouldn’t want that.

@Tharsman i want starcraft on console. Not n64 starcraft but a better version lol. One of my favorite games of all time.

@OM1993 snake is good people. We gotta get dbz avatar on him, tho!

@Tharsman hoping diablo makes an appearance even tho Mike said it wouldnt. $70 too rich for my blood lately! #TeamCheapSkate

@Sol4ris threads be looking DAPPER!

@Sakai yup

@Tharsman i think the marketing is absolutely going back to ms early but playstation actually wanted that, so i dont think they would extend game pass to 2025 Id actually expect this next year unless marketing is stopped immediately, then id still have hope COD goes in THIS year.

@bpomber we can absolutely disagree on opinions. If you think the industry as a whole is worse off then yes thats an opinion and we can split there.

I’m just stating that the number of users that have access to certain games are factually larger than before, with the consoles the mobile users, pc, streaming services ect. The pool is bigger combined.
