Playground isn't a MS studio? The action is showing what they are investing in, we've been hearing for years how first party is important and they are investing but nothing came out yet.

Microsoft needs to "invest in teams, empower them creatively, and give them time"- Phil Spencer

No need for all that, Phil has done a great job since he took over at placating us hardcore Xbox fans.
Does it really matter if it's first or third party? Playground has made the best Xbox exclusives this gen.
That's why Phil Spencer said at E3 they're only going to announce games 18 months away. You won't see any game launching beyond 2019, you won't see 2020 or 2021 games.No need for all that, Phil has done a great job since he took over at placating us hardcore Xbox fans.
Nothing you see at E3 will get cancelled.
Glad phil thinks he has time. Probably would be better off going over and buying some developers who have things in the works. Especially some Japanese developers who seem to be hitting it out of the park recently. Right now they are at second console on everything coming out...soon probably behind the switch if there are not careful.
That isn't my point, they didn't open a studio by MS' request.
Well the weird thing is I didn't even specify a colour. I never usually mess around with the font or colour of the text, so I'm not sure what happened there. Anyway, it should be fixed now.
Come on now that is just all PR speak sony has said the same thing before
You prefer them buying devs? I don't understand why people want MS to buy all kind of developer studios. Let them build and let them work with partners.
User Warned: System Wars
Who needs fresh new exclusives when you're the "highest engagement" platform?

Your comment isn't related to what I implied. Fable Legends was nearly complete as was Scalebound to my understanding, they simply didn't want to give up more time to get them right so they pulled the plug. PD, I honestly don't think they ever intended to release it and just lied through their teeth for an announcement win based on the story behind that one.
MS had a lot of hope and wonder going into this gen, all of the above were a big part of that at some point or another. When Sony and Nintendo announce something 'too early' that usually just means it takes a long time to release, not that it never will.
This will be added soon as wellNo need for all that, Phil has done a great job since he took over at placating us hardcore Xbox fans.
I think the glitch is here. Not every tweet, positive or negative, associated with this dude needs to become a thread.
I think that's probably exactly the case. BC, all this work on older games, doing everything they can as far as setting up what their next console will most likely do is the plan atm. They've seemingly been in "stop the bleeding" mode for a while.
Besides investing in games, teams, IP, etc, develop cutting edge new hardware so that the next Xbox is not merely a mid or upper mid-range PC, but truly something special. Custom silicon is exciting, and coupled with the ease-of-development, APIs, tools, etc which MS are good at, get developers to swing back to making Xbox the lead platform. It probably means investing a lot more in AMD, but that's okay, Microsoft has the money and perhaps it is in their best interest to help prop up and bolster Radeon Technology Group. Otherwise Nvidia will even further solidify their domination more permanently.
Many of Microsoft's games have traditionally been contracted out, even dating back to the days of DOS.
I don't think it matters whether it's first or third party. Game output should be the primary concern.
But I digress, the company is investing in Xbox. I'm not sure what you are exactly looking for.
Probably right. People have pretty much called this Gen in favor of Sony, because nobody will catch them. It all resets come next Gen and I can sense MS know that and are already moving. At least we know MS will have a capable BC option.
So?
I dont care as well, but many others care about these games, you are not supposed to like every game or denying the existence of titles only because you dont like them.

Wasn't scalebound canceled? Or is that the joke? I honestly stopped paying attention to anything coming out of MS's PRNo need for all that, Phil has done a great job since he took over at placating us hardcore Xbox fans.
I've been saying to friends for a few months now that I think MS will blow everyone away this E3, just based on the past 2 or 3 E3 showings, nothings been shown besides Sea Of Thieves, what if in the past few years hes been getting together studios, groups of people, and new teams to focus on new IPs.
The Xbox One X is out, GamePass is out, Xbox Live is thriving......my point is these are 3 of the 4 major factors to do with the Xbox Brand, and we know everything about them now, the missing puzzle piece is games, and 1st party games most of all, this could be the E3 they bring em.
It's a fools hope I know but it just makes sense to me otherwise MS will have nothing to talk about, really hoping they bring it.
It's gonna be great to see what the Big 3 bring to us gamers this year.

A ship with 2.2 billion revenue per quarter and a growing amount of users. And a captain that has just got promoted.
That's the point of his brilliant post.
You said: "Actual stuff came out" and i can list you all the games that came out on Xbox, or you should phrase it better and say: "Actual stuff that i like", try this next time, lol.
it'd be amazing if they end up releasing a bunch of PUBG clones in 2020 and that's what this build up has all been for lmao
Sony and Nintendo to MS these days:
I mean, MS seriously need to up their game in the first party department, sadly it will take time even though they need it now. Crackdown 3, SoD2 and a new Forza Horizon ain't conna cut it for me.

Evidently so! It's not like Phil will announce all of the company's plans for this E3 and the coming years.
Or battle royale.
Fable 4 hasn't been announced, it could get canceled next week all we know. Heck, maybe it doesn't even exist. Just wait for E3 2020. ;)
They've done it in the past. Especially with Xbox original. All those games just never worked. They got Rare that pretty much didn't do anything. Grabbed by the Goulies. All sorts of high profile games, proper attempts. They threw around a lot of money.
But the big sellers were always third party. Quantum Break. Another earnest attempt. It's not that easy to just create teams or good games.
I'm sure they will try again. But its going to be expensive. Sony is on a decent roll.

They probably have at least one or two killer apps in the pipe, but are smart to not release them on a system destined for last place. And no matter how you slice it, whether you add the Xbox One family into the eighth or ninth generation, it is finishing last behind either PS4 or Switch in install base.
It sure better not be "Fable-like" in 2019+.
Not with how in depth RPG systems have been and continue to evolve with open worlds.
It always felt like an RPG-lite to me.
Thing is this shouldn't be an issue they're having right now. They're more than halfway through the consoles lifespan. This should be the moment where there's a constant barrage of amazing games coming from them. Having a slow start or end to a gen I can get but it's like they literally skipped a generation despite having hardware on the market.
This is such an incredible and powerful trio of quote posts. I'm absolutely perplexed. Just cannot fathom how perfect this chain is.
God damn. We can dismiss shit because "well I didn't like it." Is a perfectly acceptable excuse on this forum.
