The ABK drip-feed is dried & forgotten at Xbox HQ apparently.

I platinumed F.I.S.T. before it left PS+ and I loved it. A bit sour that they turned the sequel into a souls-like but maybe I'll come around to it.

@Questionable_Duck They're in the store right now.

For now I've cancelled, but I'll shell out a month of Essential to finish up Anthem before it's death.

As far as I know, Contraband's not canceled yet? Microsoft only pulled it's funding. Avalanche posted the day of that they're still looking for a new publisher.

No Diablo II in October friggin' bites.

Just let us customize our subscription!
I say have the Xbox Game Pass library and Day-1 additions for $20.
Then let us pick & choose PC Game Pass, EA Play, Ubisoft+ Classics and/or Fortnite Crew for maybe around $25.
Then $30 if you want everything.
Also bring back the Family Plan FFS!

7. Unique Expansions!
After FH5 rehashed FH1's Rally & FH3's Hot Wheels, I don't want another Blizzard Mountain or another LEGO.

To me, this confirms that:

• Original & core XGS IP games (Keeper, Fable 4, Gears of War: E-Day etc.) WON'T be Day-1 on PlayStation 5 / Switch 2.
• Already existing multi-platform IP games (Ninja Gaiden 4, Call of Duty, The Elder Scrolls 6 etc.) WILL be Day-1.
• Re-releases of older games (Heretic + Hexen, Gears of War: Reloaded, Halo: Combat Evolved REMAKE etc.) WILL be Day-1.
• Going forward, everything Xbox WILL be TIMED exclusive at most.

Microsoft sure did waste September regarding the ABK drip feed. Empty month 1st-party wise sandwiched between 2 stacked months, yet they could only plop MWIII onto Standard tier.

Twice. I beat Ultimate Edition years ago prepping for Gears 5 and just now beat the OG prepping for Reloaded next week.

Maybe they're repurposing the Heartland content into D2?

As someone who plays arcade-racers over sim-racers, yeah, it already has. For a looong while now. There has NEVER been a bad Horizon game (even the standalone F&F tie-in was good), but the fairly recent Motorsport games have been Meh. 5 is just the worst, no clue about 6 & 7 other than the loot boxes, and 8 was just barebones at launch for the sake 'live-service drip feeding'.

🤡🤡🤡 SilkSong September!!1 🤡🤡🤡

I'm thinking the first wave will be other GaaS like MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls and maybe even FairGame$ (kinda needs to be day 1 to avoid a Concord 2.0 launch, if it's not already getting canned). Then the smaller games [LEGO Horizon Adventures] & the licensed Bamco games [FREEDOM WARS + Patapon + Everybody's Golf]. As for the bigger SIE published games, SPIDER-MAN & Stellar Blade wouldn't hurt as SPIDER-MAN is for everyone and Stellar Blade was originally going to launch on the Xbone. Though I can hardly see games like God of War & The Last of Us being on Xbox.
@Lup Since those games are self-published on PC, maybe Xbox could strike a deal with Koei Tecmo to self-publish them on Xbox as well, their Tokyo Game Show presentations always have at least one good bombshell.

BULLYING👏JUST👏WORKS!!

I call bullcrap. Didn't we just go over this with Gears last month, which turned out to be false? Halo ain't dropping its staple multiplayer.

If it's Toys For Bob, it'll be the Banjo-Kazooie: Re-Jiggied Trilogy first, then Banjo-Fourie. I don't know how Moon would make it work since they've only done 2 side-scrollers & a top-down game.

Microsoft is the one making us their bitch now.

Matt Ass next week will be like "We need MORE AAAA blockbuster experiences for our Xbox portfolio!" or some s***.

@fbnaulin I'm praying more for Clockwork Revolution. Kinda like with Perfect Dark at last years showcase, lots of gameplay & no release date.

No game, no hype. We've never seen gameplay at all for all six years since it's reveal. That and the multiple reboots, not a loss at all for me.

BLOPS IIIIIII!

TOLD Y'ALL, we just gotta play the best waiting game of our lives!

Called it. HB2 is STILL 30FPS over a year later so they had to be waiting to push the patch alongside the port. Sad that Xbox gamers have to wait so long for 1st-party games to be at current standards just for them to be multiplat so PS gamers get to experience 60FPS day 1. Hopefully the enhanced update has us remove the movie bars so I can start my 2nd playthrough.

Y'ALL THOUGHT IT WAS OVER HUH!!? well now it is..

Hellblade II is probably next. It'll be a year old sequel and the port will include the evitable 60FPS patch.

Why not patch & port the Ultimate Edition? Reloaded feels a little unnecessary for Xbox.
Also imagine having to go for SERIOUSLY 1.0 for the 3rd time...

What a great B-Day game for me next year!

Isn't Towerborne F2P? Or did they walk that back?

Outbreak and those Aery bird games are frequently getting shat out on the weekly. Xbox should monitor the marketplace spam.

On the bright-ish side, the DLC will definitely be included in the sequel.

While Rayman/Rabbids are a nice & easy pick, my pipe dream is that Xbox nabs the Grow games. Port Grow Home and make a 3rd entry.

@RZ-Atom You'd think they wouldn't care now that Team Green's porting everything to PS & Switch 2, but bruh, those comments have such massive hate boners for anything Microsoft it's childish.

@Kaloudz SH1&3 are the only narratively connected games.

Slight spoiler

In SH1, the MC is Harry and Heather is his daughter.

@Kaloudz Eventually yes but SH1 is still locked on the PS1 and should be remade first. Also, the G in Project G is speculated to stand for Gillespie (SH1 antagonist) & Project H to stand for Heather (SH3 MC).

I knew something was up when it wasn't in the Dev_Direct. Maybe that's why they showed off Expedition 33 instead.

Abiotic Factor, Blue Prince & Darwin's Paradox (the squid game) are also confirmed for Xbox!

I want The Fenix Collection to be real so I don't buy the Raam's Shadow DLC just cuz I'm cheap.

The wording regarding the 4th game has me thinking it's not Oblivion, also no Fable 4 shown(?) is a letdown.

Glad to see that PX now has their own Studio Coverage page that PS has.

Them including United Offensive has me really happy, I hated how they didn't add it into CoD: Classic.

It's bound to be in next year's Dev_Direct. Until then, no game no hype.

@Hydralicmonkey How we didn't get 1+2 on the 25th anniversary is downright despicable.

Now I just wanna know what the Xbox-specific hologram will be (PlayStation was Horizon's Tallneck and PC was Half-Life's Strider).

@Godot25 @Banjo- 505 still owns the publishing rights to the first game (for PC) and since tomorrow is the 5th anniversary, I reckon they're getting it out now cuz of expired contracts. Now the second game is locked down cuz it's fully published by Sony.

Sorry for not being related but Death Stranding: Director's Cut is out now on Windows and Xbox!

They're likely holding onto surprises for TGS and definitely dropping Tony Hawk 1+2 on the 29th. This ABK GP drip-feeding is ticking me off.

After watching the teaser, I thought that they're pulling a 'Jumanji Movie' genderswap for Mamoa's character. but reading the plot and seeing that he's "The Garbage Man", kinda creepy 1st impression for the Minecraft film. Plus swearing in the line is indeed a choice.

@S1ayeR74 A long time. Last year Horizon 1, 2 and F&F shut down after nearly a decade. Online for Horizon 3 and Motorsport 5+6+7 is "still active", albeit quite shoddy as of late.
