They need to focus on making PC gamepass an actual alternative to steam. The fact that most of their first party games play better on steam then PC gamepass app is inexcusable. That and the window store bugs associated with PC gamepass is just a headache steam users don't have to worry about.

I have a feeling they are going to shadowdrop a game. I'm betting contraband.

@fbnaulin People love their narratives. Plus ponies love larping as concerned xbox owners, as if their helping sway the console war. People just want to feel important I guess.

@Fenbops 😅. I get the sentiment though. Hopefully June showcase has a few surprises for this year.

@Fenbops well it's April now, and they released four first party games if we include redfall. That's four first party games(hifi,ghostwire,minecraft, redfall) in five months compared to one custom console this year. So much for that narrative.

@Fenbops that makes too much sense for him.

They should buy them anyways just not release in the uk.

He didn't just say it was not making money, he said MS is putting pressure on games to make money since halo infinite "failed." If they wanted to make money to lost revenue from infinite, they wouldn't shadow drop it with no physical release. Grubb was just talking out of his ass, and gaming journalists couldn't wait to pile on.

So no physical copy and day 1 gamepass affected its sales. That's shocking! These old folks need to realize it's all about engagement now for MS with gamepass. Different business model.

so when a game like vampire survivors(that has had critical acclaim) does not come to playstation, no one cares. but when xbox doesnt get a game i have never heard of, the sky is falling. sony does not need to do PR when the media does it for them.

Once abk gets done, I would revive starcraft ghost and warcraft adventures. Done by coalition and double fine, respectively.

@hbkay that's the problem with purexbox, too much push squared Sony pony cross pollution.

@Kaloudz watch the trailer in the article to see for yourself.

Always wanted to try this on steam, wish it was on gp so I could test it out. I thought it was just another hands of fate knockoff, but maybe it's just the art style.

They tried to capture lightning in a bottle again with infinite but didn't work, at least for me anyway. They even had to go back to rapture with the dlc because most fans preferred rapture to columbia.

@Balta666 it was actually really bad and distracting in the first game. Looks liked they toned it down a little just based on footage we have seen. You can always write it off as her being on the spectrum and living a sheltered abusive life, or she was a theater major.

@Dezzy70 will most likely it will be shown in a couple months and launch later in the year.

@Moonglow would be nice but i doubt avowed will be this year. if anything, i think contraband might make a surprise launch this year.

Sony just wants delay this process as long as possible. UK is sonys home turf and it's showing. Although the khan led FTC is also using sonys talking points. Just a clown show. Just shows these regulators know nothing about game industry.

Come on Phil don't acknowledge the Sony trolls.

now that the next 12 month mantra is null, more games we dont know about from the other studios like inxile, compulsion, id,..etc.

Hopefully they ditch that next 12 month bullcrap and show some cgi trailers to generate some type of hype for all these darn studios they have.

If your not going to stick to the next 12 months mantra then get rid of it. Show some cgi trailers of games being worked on to generate some type of hype for your first party games. Who cares what the haters say, ms needs to stop being so reactive.

They also announced the released date for age of wonders 4 on may 2nd coming to series x/s and pc. Love that series.

jet force gemini, please and thank you.

i hope harebrained schemes and MS team up to make another shadowrun. I know HS owns the rights for pc release and MS owns the console rights. i hope they make a next gen Shadow Run being co-developed by Inxile and harebrained schemes.

@grumpypotato he was answering a direct question about it. it wasnt like he spontaneously started praising it.

this is the acquisition that will be the best move MS made. screw activision blizzard, hated that move from the beginning.

Maybe my eyes are bad or something but it looks like there was a graphical downgrade especially on the character models and effects.

xbox having offset joysticks makes it far better than the sense. whats the point of all the bells and whistles if your hands cramp up over extended play because of antiquated design flaw from the 90s .

Whatever Inxile is working on.

yeah i could care less. i grew out of jrgps and anime long time ago. i am more concerned about MS games.

Dezzy, you one of the 10 ? Lol.

Blizzard sure knows how to make a cgi trailer. Best in the business.

Thx goodness i didnt watch it live and waited after for the trailers.

i hope they drop that next 12 months crap and give us something to look foward to.

@Carck "These "next-gen" "upgrades" always mess with the original lighting"

Agreed 100%. In the Mass Effect Legendary Edition, the new brightly lit Eden Prime absolutely ruined the ominous and oppressive tone of the original.

Sigh, that blades interface. So simple, so elegant.

@Banjo- not only will she be the main character, she will be the strongest, best shot, and will be the one get them out of hairy situations with her brains. cant wait!

@InterceptorAlpha doubt with what they did to witcher

i grew up on blizzard games; warcraft 2 bnet, starcraft, sc brood war, diablo and original WoW. unfortunately the original staff that made those games great are no longer there kind of like bioware. hopefully MS can do something with these franchises to make them great again. oh yeah and sc2 was meh.

And another game on my steam wishlist coming to gamepass!

@ThatFilbo yes yes im sure your not selective with your moral outrage at all. You should probably follow your own advice on the education front. There is nothing more communist then banning people from making a living for moral justifications.

@ThatFilbo your a fake gamer easily persuaded by the politics of the day. If you accept these conditions, they will eventually be used against you. Sometimes you should think ahead instead of in the moment.

Good to hear, but im really anxious to know what they are working on next. New wasteland? Fallout 1 remake? The next fallout? Heck even a planescape torment remake or something new. Whatever it is, ill be eagerly waiting.

Nice right on my bday. My brother plays these games like crazy.

They abandoned pubg on pc and console for their mobile cash cow counter part. Could care less what this studio does.

@Bleachedsmiles ikr. i mean they still own the lost odyssey and blue dragon IP if im not mistaken. If mistwalker is not willing or able to make anymore games on them, outsource it to another japanese studio. You dont have to buy a studio and it will be exclusive to MS. Its a win-win.

usually not into survivor games but this game is instantly immersive. plus i watched honey i shrunk the kids too much as a kid lol.

Does MS own the IP for blue dragon and/or lost odyssey?

@Kaloudz Yeah but MS doesnt need to do that. Just the mere fact that it is a GP launch exclusive will be more than enough of an edge they need without exclusive content. Plus right now they cannot make exclusive content because of the current contract that they wish to extend.
