I don't think it's too soon but I don't think it will be Inside Xbox's surprise game.
Tell them to get their arses up to Scotland, Edinburgh and Dundee have major talent pools in both those cities. Plus I could stalk them a bit when I have meetings in either of those cities!
Yes. New Inside Xbox.
Also, I don't think Battletoads is a Fall 2019 title. I would put my money on Spring 2019.

Now it's time for a Forza Horizon 4 themed escape room. You have to go through all four seasons before you can escape, haha.
No escape room, but could I interest you in 90 minutes of track footage of the new McLaren 600LT with some voiceover?
Double or quits???
I've just not had the time to cash in on the last bet!
I think July or August. If it was planned for Spring, they wouldn't have shown it at E3 with just a teaser and no gameplay. Because they didn't want to show anything about it, I think it gets another E3 appearance.
For Spring, I would say that's going to be Ori.
Microsoft Studios lineup IMO:
February - Crackdown 3
April - Ori and the Will of the Wisps
May - Gears Tactics
August - Battletoads
October - Gears 5
Can see Age of Empires IV on PC launching in January or February 2020.
To me, a teaser with no gameplay means you're going to see it at another E3 conference. Doubly so if it's not on the show floor. The only games that had E3 gameplay demos were Forza Horizon 4 and Ori, and we saw Crackdown 3 gameplay multiple times and have a date.
If Battletoads was releasing so soon, we would've seen gameplay and it would've been playable. The other games are all releasing after E3 2019.

I could get behind that lineup. I don't think there is anything here that I would take too much issue with.
What you thinking? Though in saying that, I am a man of my word so if you want inflict a new avatar on me, I'll take it :)
Ok, I'll honour the previous bet and you'll get that when I have a spare 10 minutes to put Farage's head on a waifu.
I think we'll hear about Infinity next year but it won't be released in 2019. Any particular part of that you disagree with to bet on?
Good, well paced release line-up. But there's quite a large gap between Xbox releases since Gears Tactics is PC only. April to August is a while–enough time for people to unsub.
Edit: I just realized it'll be about four-five months between SoD2 and FH4's releases so I guess bi-monthly releases aren't as important as we think.

Anyone expert in gears recognise all the Actors and who they play? I actually just recognisd Paul Lazenby who mocap's Marcus
About Yesterday conversation on rare's staff:
https://www.rare.co.uk/careers/game-designer so even the sot's team is hiring and expanding, rare really needed the flow of money brought by sea of thieves.
Well Sea of Thieves has two big expansions coming out in July and September and State of Decay 2 also has an expansion coming out in I think November.
I think post-content for Sea of Thieves, Crackdown 3, State of Decay 2, Forza Horizon 4, Forza Motorsport 7 (when it's inebitably added) can be good gap fillers during months when there's no games.
To me it's obvious with Sea of Thieves and State of Decay 2 that going forward, most Microsoft exclusives will get post-launch support.

I haven't been following gaming news too much the past couple of months, very little time. I did watch all of E3 and was impressed with the studio acquisitions. Lineup on the short and medium term is still terrible but the commitment is obvious. I hope they give those studios all the creative freedom they need instead of ruining them and shutting them down. Terrible track record in that regard so I can't be anything more than very cautiously optmistic.
Oh, and making a Battletoads before a new Banjo is a complete absurd, especially with the 20th anniversary.
Catch y'alls again when I have more time to post.
Its gears of war in our hearts, as long as marcus and delta is in there... i hope they wont kill them off, the new characters are so much lame in comparision to gsow trilogy characters.
Nice. I'm a fan of Jon Whitesell. He is a gears fan too.
Oh Christ.....
And as for Infinity, I agree there's no way that's a 2019 game :(
It should redirect you to the Microsoft Store app if you open that on Windows 10.
I don't think there's any chance we get a new MSGP game releasing in 2019 unless Microsoft do another conference this year. 2019 seems set tbh.
Has this been discussed yet guys? Found this article earlier. Sounds pretty cool regarding Japanese devs helping out on Scarlet development.

i post it yestarday In Xbox and PS5 thread
but...
.......................
It's Just Great to see Phil Get some Japanese dev to the ship and make Sure they release their games on next Xbox...
And i think their will be Exclusive games from them
Maybe the bet is that it doesn't come out in 2019 and if that's wrong we both lose?
I think that's good for me as there is now way Ininite is coming next year, especially with Gears 5 scheduled for 2019.
I think we may see flight tests for Halo Infinite next year. I'm hopeful.
It's only available in Netherlands at the moment as a test. You need to switch your store region to download it, then switch back.
Yep! Mobile games do small roll out launches to limited markets to test games in a "live" environment, while still being fairly closed off to large populations of people.
Speaking of the game, they are adding stuff to it still. They added a new large "timed" showcase event last week. It's a shame the core game is fairly boring haha
Yep, agree. Everything else is actually pretty good. Graphics, effects, camera work. But the gameplay is really stale.
Ya, my thoughts exactly. I'm curious to see it evolve though
An issue with Edinburgh is Rockstar though. Working on a GTA has to be pretty much every single developers dreams. If you give a developer an option to work for MS or work for Rockstar, 9/10 are gonna pick Rockstar.
No idea about Dundee. But in Edinburgh it just feels like you'll be getting hit with the scraps that Rockstar didn't want, IMO. Not to mention Edinburgh is expensive. You'd probably be better going to somewhere like Glasgow where it's cheaper and literally zero competition that way you can poach the talent that doesn't want to move up to Edinburgh aswell... Plus I would love a good studio nearby that I can peak about :P
However saying all that, I'm clueless when it comes to this sorta thing, so I'm most likely way off and you probably shouldn't listen to me LOL, but that's how I see it from an outsider who knows fuck all.

Just found this. Dundee does seem like a good place, a lot of "no namer" devs, I assume they work on mobile games? Definitely seems like a good place to poach talent.
Just noticed Dovetail Games is based in Stirling. That could be a somewhat decent purchase? Looks like they have too many employees but they could be a good studio to work on Flight sim, Screamride, etc. No idea how well their games sell but if they're still alive after all this time with 100+ employees I have to imagine they do pretty well... Could even give them an attempt at a Sim city type game as they're always popular. For guaranteed success give it a minecraft theme, and boom you're laughing all the way to the bank.
