Microsoft knows better lol. Sony doesn't have the library this Gen to justify this behemoth, so you KNOW Microsoft doesn't lol

$700, plus $75 for disk drive, plus tax.

For slightly nicer hair and shiny stuff.

They're on drugs 😆

@StonyKL the temple sections were TERRIBLE. Who thought that would be fun?! Every temple should have been it's own puzzle/dungeon. That was just lazy.

@fbnaulin you sure? Because they announced it 5 years ago, all we've seen is 1 trailer that MIGHT have been gameplay and nothing close to a solid release date.

Tbh I was generally quite disappointed. I actually enjoyed the main campaign, but the moment they announced "1000 planets" I had a feeling that the game was going to be exactly what it was: a big-for-no-reason, mostly empty hull of a game. Bethesda games are known for their density of things to do, and this game was devoid of that. Most of the outposts look exactly the same, too many quests went nowhere. I STILL dont understand why there would be inhabitable planets with one city on them. I could go on but this was one of the most disappointing games I've played in a long time, considering who made it.

@themightyant I'm saying this developer is making a huge whiny fuss over a game that doesn't exactly look like it's going to set the world on fire.

@themightyant Nintendo usually does this perfectly. Most of the time, big games are announced less than a year before release. Microsoft seems to announce their games right after the pitch meeting 😆

......they're only just now doing this? Didn't they announce this game like 5 years ago?

Lol, now watch the game review at a 6.

@PsBoxSwitchOwner if Phil played Redfall before it released and thought it was good, he should be fired IMMEDIATELY.

This encapsulates xbox. For the past 15 years or so they've been run by people who had absolutely no idea what they are doing.

@BlueSheepz ....or they could just stop making promises and release the games...?

It would have been fine except for Xbox themselves hyping it up like we'd better watch because they had earthshaking news and reveals, which they didn't.

Which is so on-brand for Xbox it's crazy 🤪

@gamer5634 the PS5 Pro will probably land at $599.00. I would be shocked if it was any more.

I would be quite shocked if there is no 60fps patch down the line, everyone calm down.

And of course it's looking far along. It was supposed to be out in a couple of months. It's probably finished I would think.

No. People have a whining problem.

@Cakefish a console platform is CLEARLY not Microsoft's focus. The Wii U died 8 years ago (ten really) and things have changed considerably. Microsoft sees their gaming future as being outside of the console. Eventually all three console makers probably will, but Microsoft,being perpetually in 3rd place, is always ready to jump first.

@ProNF every single game:

CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK!!!

@StylesT I think that Microsoft likes Phil as a figurehead, but you're right. I don't think he's making a lot of decisions anymore.

@GADG3Tx87 zero chance. Not even Disney would test a deal they signed with Microsoft. This was just Microsoft realizing they would make a ton of money by releasing this game everywhere.

@NEStalgia it got delayed.

Also, even though it's an xbox controller, it's been announced for PS5.

But that version wasn't delayed, so they all have theirs already.

Lol playstation fans having to wait like 3 months for Indy the same day Genshin Impact is announced for Xbox after like 5 years AND while FF 16 and 7 still aren't announced is the most xbox thing ever.

@NEStalgia a free demo of Game Pass Vista professional 2, an autographed picture of Phil's mansion, some Xbox 360 socks, and access to Game Pass Sorry, a program that informs you about the latest game delays before anyone else!

@WhiteRabbit oh that's GamePass Laissez-Faire.

@WhiteRabbit I apologize. Please allow us to give you a free 1 month subscription to Game Pass Pretty Decent.

Remember kids, Game Pass Standard is not to be confused with Game Pass Diet, which is entirely different. Oh and it's NOTHING like Game Pass Infinite. It's also not exactly like Game Pass XL, but it's close. On the other hand, Game Pass Ordinary won't be available until 2025, so in the meantime just subscribe to Game Pass: San Francisco. Hope that helps!

And that is exactly the problem.

Microsoft is treating xbox like it's nothing but a revenue stream. As a result, they don't really care about anything but making money. Exclusive content? Quality games? Release dates? They don't care. They're going to announce that Horizon 5 is going to Playstation at some point this week. Why? Because they'll make money.

Microsoft is basically just a 3rd party publisher that just so happens to produce a console. Avowed will probably end up on Playstation, as will Indiana Jones and the next Elder Scrolls. It is what it is. Not the end of the world really.

I expect them to put all of their live service type games on everything. It will make Microsoft a lot of money, and incentivize staying in the console space. This isn't a big deal.

Great! See you in 2027 when you announce that it's been delayed until 2028!

Xbox Series D.

So let me get this straight.

Microsoft has one of its best new IPs in YEARS just fall into their lap. It's exactly the kind of thing that has been missing from their portfolio and pretty much everyone loves it.

So they immediately shut the studio down, and now they've sold off the IP as well.

How do ANY of these people still have their jobs?!

Microsoft finds a new way to make fools of themselves every day lol

Dammit.....

.......one of each, please.

It doesn't even matter if they said it. The fact that it's completely believable that a developer WOULD say is extremely telling about the state of this sinking ship lol

I mean...if you're not used to disappointment with xbox by now lol. The problem is that no one believes anything they say about pretty much anything. I'll believe indy is coming out WHEN it comes out. I wouldn't be even remotely surprised if we're still not playing Avowed in the spring of 2025. Microsoft has burned all their goodwill.

@InterceptorAlpha my current game pass ultimate subscription is up at the end of August. Then I'm out lol

The team's first project, despite not being announced yet nor development having been started, has been delayed.

@abe_hikura I like that you factored in the inevitable delays.

And the game is already delayed.

Microsoft is going to be the first company to announce a game delay during the game's reveal trailer.

@OldGamer999 they would announce that they intend to run the race next Thursday.

This is pretty much the only thing I was looking forward to.

I'm just kind of over Xbox at this point.

@OldGamer999 indy is DEFINITELY next to be delayed.

Xbox strikes again.

This company's inability to deliver anything on time is absolutely legendary.

@Ilyn @Ilyn "frustrating to unsubscribe" is subjective. If you're too lazy to do that, then you aren't trapped, you're too lazy to do something. Consoles aren't likely to go away anytime soon. They will most likely provide a premium experience for people who want to play with the highest specs short of a pc. This is ALREADY HAPPENING. the vast majority of people in Xbox's ecosystem aren't playing on a console. The variety of services are choice. Having to own a certain console in order to play a certain game? that's much closer to being trapped.

@Ilyn how are you trapped? Let's say you want to play Starfield but you only have a PS5 and a PC. There is an easy, straightforward way to do that without having to buy an xbox. You want to watch a movie, you COULD always just buy it. You aren't required to buy new hardware every time you want to watch a TV show. AND, it's perfectly doable to buy any of these services for a month to watch whatever you want to. You aren't trapped at all lol. The future is that you'll be able to play whatever game you want without having to buy multiple boxes.

@Ricky-Spanish as I always say, gamers are the only Fandom that puts up with being locked out of certain content this way, and then told that it's a good thing.

This is the way forward. Microsoft has frequently been the most willing to go first. Once they establish a profitable business, Sony will follow. Nintendo will take several years to do the same. In the end, games won't be trapped on any one plastic box, and you'll be able to play whatever you want on whatever you want to play it on.

Hopefully they're more than straightforward remasters, as the games are well over 25 years old, and HOPEFULLY Sony hasn't paid them to put the games on every electronic device on earth except for Xbox lol

Ahhh, to be a second-class citizen 😆
