@Savage_Joe I just think they have a top 5 and that the mechanics part is the one which could be most successful. But ofcourse I can be wrong. Just saying clearly copying stuff (art, mechanics, sound, whatever) and then start whining about development time spend in a wrong way is clearly not the way to go.

If they just were a bit more creative with their character designs nothing would be wrong. If your response to that is: ‘then the game would not have been as successful’… it just shows that Nintendo is right. Now claiming that they have to use precious devtime is their own wrongdoing, they should have invest that time in creating their own aesthetic. This is a child…whining. (Ps: as a casual Pokemon player flipping through some screenshots I could swear this being a pokemon game)

We are always looking for great co-op games in my family. From Gears to Minecraft Dungeons and from Monster Hunter to River City Girls. We all love them and it would be a shame if they disappeared. Even with 3 xbox’s in one household, playing on the couch still is the cosiest

Waiting for Towerborn

Love both and would like to play them again

Waiting for Towerborne

I live in the Netherlands and when I visit gameshops like Gamemania there is only a minimum amount of space for Xbox. Intertoys has 2 racks of ps5, a big one for Nintendo and None for XBox. Been like this for two years already. Even at Mediamarkt Xbox is maybe 1/10 while N, PC and PS have the other 9/10

Very curious what the new Fifa will be like

An excellent chance for Sony or any other publisher to give this team another shot. This is like hunting a shiny! Once in a lifetime. MS will regret this big time.

March is the Monster Hunter 20 years anniversary month so I expect much from that.

… and more. I remember Sega talking about a new gameconcept. Sounded like a metaverse concept. Now showing 5 games in 1 show…could it actually be 1 game? Glued together, with more worlds added later?

This is better than summershowcases for me.
CrazyTaxi, SOR, Golden Axe, Monster Hunter and a new Mana game… Bulders Gate out now. Wow.

I think it also has to do with Unreals new RealityCapture and Metahumans technogies. they can now scan complete models and refine them or use optimized assets from the scans to use in their handmade character model creations.

@PLATINUM7 reboot your xbox

MakeUp&Dress confirmed for Gamepass

This should have been Banjo-Kazooie Nuts&Bolts Racing. Instead we got a gimmicky platformer and no new diddy kong racing. Resulting in bad sales and still no Banjo-Threeie 😢

Maybe they could combine some rpg elements in there. They are getting that exp from their Fable team. Mix it up with some metaversical overworld. Make it really compatible with FM mainseries as in, your avatar could travel from monza to Barcelona, get out of the cars and enter a trackday. Switching seamlessly from a fmh game to fm.

Maybe they just can’t say: “it’s a day one release on GamePass just like Tunic”

I would laugh my socks off when de deal doesn’t come through. And as a reaction Activision makes COD exclusive for Xbox.

Why doesn’t Xbox start some shell-gamestudios? Name them Rizzard, FactiBlision and Ring Studios. Hire all key personel from the acti-blizzard studios and start some new ip’s like RarCraft, Miablo and Fall of Mutty?

Just use the meta’s quest 2 and pro. Or maybe let them dev a licences Xbox Series Q(uest)

@Kezelpaso oh dang you’re right. I really thought it was an original

I thought so too but in the roadmap (which seems chronologic) it is posted between RedFall (May 2nd) and Starfield (First half 23)

@Floki not totally, they dis announce partnership with meta/oculus. Since xbox is now available on Quest, why would Quest not become a approved Xbox compagnon?

It looks awesome

@Cikajovazmaj 100% agreed. I only use the xbox version to help some none Switch players getting started. But won’t start all over again.

The Witcher complete edition old gen was 10 euro’s for weeks and now the updated XS version is at sale for 20. The update is free though so what am I missing here?

It is so weird. Imagine Sony granting MS access to all Bungie games for the next 10 years. Just so MS would agree with Sony buying that studio…

Been playing for 10 hours or so but it reminds me of animal crossing, and just so addictive.

But will Quest 2 be compatible as VR device on Xbox as partnership device? It would be a great combination!

I wonder if you bought the game, knowing (by publication) a co-op would be included, can you get refunded?

Looks good. Reminds me a little bit of Bayonetta.

Major Nelson also revealed the line-up during Gamescom and most of them are GP titles inclusing Lies of P.

VR or AR device

Sounds awesome. Feels a bit like those scenes from Godfather/Don Corleone’s origins stories.

Konami will be the next Fifa holder. Maybe just as a free game like eFootball but rebranded and rebooted with a lot of fifa money for a better devteam. They need this extra year.

In fact, any other competitor can buy the fifa licence and compete with FC, and EA will have to compete EAFC24 vs Fifa24. How things can turn

It’s that same uhly coverdesign that PureXbox touted as GTA exclusive. But it seems a new template

@VOODOO85 agreed. I think it will be as with the motogp capcom>milestone and f1 ea>codemasters

Will others be able to pick it up and essentially release a non EA develloped Fifa ‘24? EA will have to compete against what others have failed to do so. Mainstream buyers who only care about a brandname.

Only viable aquisition should be EA. Having the sports games library inside gamepass as an exclusive service would be gold. Not console exclusive though. Also, having the creators of the Sims onboard would be very wise to use as expert while creating the Microsoft Metaverse.

I’m just waiting for the co-op

Ofcourse it stays multiplatform. Gamers can buy games for 70 on platform of choice. This ‘war’ is about which company can includevit as fullservice inside their “pass” program. This isn’t sony vs ms anymore but servive vs service. Gamepass, Steam, PSPass, AppleArcade, NetflixGames, etc. As an owner you can release it on all hardware platforms but have the exclusivity on the your own service.

Exactly what I thought. It makes sense. He did say PlayStation, as in… full price via shop of eshop. It WILL be GamePass exclusive. In that way Sony Gamepass contender can’t have the games. This is what the Console wars mean now. Service Wars

I don’t think the ‘war’ between MS and Sony will be about console exclusives. If a PS5 user buys the next CoD for 70 dollars money will still roll in for MS. More important is its Gamepass exclusivity. If a Xbox Gamepass member can get the game ‘for free’ on release and if CoD is not included in the Sony ‘Gamepass’ (Whenever that comes) then that a big plus for MS. Console exclusivity would be contraproductive inthis case because releasing on PS5 fullprice would be free marketing for Xbox Gamepass.

@Banjo- think about it… could a Banjo reboot from the studio behind Skylanders be a possibilty?

Toys for Bob…..Banjo Kazooie incoming?

AC II
AC odessey
AC black flag

Very different games but love them for what they are, not necessairy because they are part of a series

Banjo Kazooie Boss 1 https://youtu.be/ilC3NNzpE90

I like how they used those old gen cars
