X019 to have 12 Xbox Game Studios games (including both new reveals and PC titles), Major xCloud news & Game Pass announcements

Sure but it's better than no 4k or not being able to play it on current gen devices.
Kinda interesting that they are going to have new reveals instead of just saving it all for the Scarlett blowout, but I guess you can't really have an event like this without showing some new games.
Supposedly it's Obsidian's new game which is a smaller survival RPG and possibly Ninja Theory's single player game.
Maybe they'll announce a remastered collection of Kazooie and Tooie, we'll have days/weeks of "WHEN'S IT COMING TO SWITCH?!" and then the Switch port is announced on the next Nintendo Direct?
These numbered lists I know are a favorite of Microsoft's marketing, but I feel like they almost always lead to disappointment
I think it's entirely possible that MS would announce a BK remake for Xbox, PC and Switch at the same time.
I think so too, truth be told, but someone earlier speculated that they wouldn't want to announce a Switch release at X019, so I threw that out there.
They wound not announce it for Switch during an Xbox event. Also if it did release on Switch, and that's a big if, it likely would release 6 months to a year after the Xbox/PC version releases.
Hopefully, we will see what Obsidian has cooking and see more of Wasteland 3. I will be very happy with a Pillars of Eternity 3 announcement, but I will lose my goddamn mind if they give me a spiritual successor to Alpha Protocol. Hell, if Sawyer gets that historical CRPG he has been dreaming of I will be very happy.
You say that but I don't think there's any reason to believe that.
Xbox isn't just consoles to MS anymore. If they can get Banjo on Switch with Xbox Live support, then they're gonna do it.
There is no precedent for it. In fact, there's no reason for you to believe they would announce a Switch release during a Xbox event or release it at the same time.
How about have a CG trailer for the new Fable and announcing The Fable Collection at the same time?
There'd be no point when Rare Replay exists on Xbox unless it's a full remake
I know what you mean. The lists are always technically correct, but I imagine the good majority of these 12 games will already have been things people have had some time to make their mind up on if they're interested in the game or not.
Sure. I think a collection would look more like the Spyro and Crash collections that have done so well for Acti. So full remakes, I guess?
I think that they are not going to make games for Xbox which require an additional peripheral and can't be played with what's bundled with the console. Because it would lead to some people buying the game and then finding out that they can't play it just because they don't have a mouse and keyboard.
It's not a problem actually if they adapt the game for console.
What exactly is the reasoning behind locking down this feature to just US and UK if you stream from your console? As far as I know, the competition already has such feature and it doesn't have such restriction because you only need the console itself to stream the games from it. What is the possibility of this feature having a very slow rollout and lots of different markets not having it at all?
They are rolling out xCloud just like any cloud service. It will hit more markets soon enough.
Oh. I completely forgot Gears Tactics existed, and I thought the AOE games were coming to Xbox with KBM controls? What was the point of hyping up the Xbox One getting keyboard and mouse support if they seemingly haven't done much with it?
I expect them to go all out at E3 2020. Going to be crazy.
Oh yeah I totally forgot about this. Is it only coming to PC or also to Xbox?
Xbox also. Dont know if its day one or later like Flight Sim.
in the tweet it says console and pc games. Its not exctly explicit, but lets pray to god there will be some pc exclusives with decent budget.
hard pass on all of those except for OriGame pass looking fantastic.
Then that part of the title is misinformation no?
It implies there will xbox game studios game only on PC.

Well these studios already had games in the pipeline. So it makes sense to show them as they are further along. I expect Scarlett to be focused on halo and other things further out like rares new game and possibly fable
I was talking about console streaming not xcloud. There is no need for region restrictions for console streaming.
It's PC only. So if they want it to be available via subscription model on a console they should go with game pass
