Warren said "more games than 2023" would be shown at the show case. I know one of you has the 2023 number locked and loaded, so what's the minimum we'll see this year, based on that?
I saw this trailer yesterday and thought, "Where can Everwild go now that a handful of these types of games has been announced/released?"
no one expected fable last year either...
Everwild is quite different from that, though. That is a Monster Hunter like game. Everwild does not have any kind of hunting.I saw this trailer yesterday and thought, "Where can Everwild go now that a handful of these types of games has been announced/released?"
And despite that reservation, I still want to see what they've come up with.
not when the showcase was announced. only when the teasing began.
Makes sense. The last non-numbered entry, Black Ops: Cold War, was not originally developed by Treyarch. This one is Treyarch from the start.
I was under the impression that it got rebooted.no one expected fable last year either...

I don't know the number but I think we see basically every announced game besides TES and Blade, plus Gears and id.Warren said "more games than 2023" would be shown at the show case. I know one of you has the 2023 number locked and loaded, so what's the minimum we'll see this year, based on that?
It was rebooted but a few years ago now. They should have the new vision well under way by now (not ready for 2025 release but they could probably show something if they wanted).I was under the impression that it got rebooted.
Even more recently, I thought I saw something about it bearing some resemblance to Viva Pinata now? I haven't been following too closely, admittedly.
it kinda did, but IIRC the focus is still the same (and Viva Piñata does not has hunting and is quite different from that too :P)I was under the impression that it got rebooted.

ngl it's a bit embarrassing to be so wrong about such basic knowledge
On the other hand, it means the showcase should be light on Call of Duty content - and should bring in a ton of eyeballs for Xbox and their upcoming games. Can be a powerful tool to change some mainstream narratives
June 9's double-feature broadcast also kicks off a week's worth of coverage here on Xbox Wire and The Official Xbox Podcast, featuring updates and deep-dives on a ton of games.
This is cool. I guess no Showcase Extended this year? Instead they are gonna spread it out over the week and in the podcast (which is like, as long as an Extended anyway lol)

They do have a lot to do, not just in terms of game development but also franchise management.343 having more employees than Obsidian and iD combined is wild to me.
Think i confused you slightly and cause i missed a column, this should be easier to understand. It was true, but now due to the growth in ID and job losses at 343, its not343 having more employees than Obsidian and iD combined is wild to me.
Always thought Rare was way bigger than that, given how they are supporting SoT and developing EverwildQuestionable LinkedIn stats.

Not to mention 343i had, just like Mojang, hundreds of employees that worked exclusively on managing all the IP licensing and novels publishing, TV Show and all that stuff for Halo.
WTH? What is Mojang working on to justify that high number of employees?Questionable LinkedIn stats.

It's one of the reasons for the somewhat slow pacing for updates in Sea of Thieves.Always thought Rare was way bigger than that, given how they are supporting SoT and developing Everwild
