Xbox Game Studios + Bethesda + ABK |OT30| Why So Series X|S?
- Thread starter Andrei Rublev
- Start date
- Microsoft OT
With how stacked we're leaning Xbox's Q4 to be I'm extra confident Horizon 6 is next year. Hoping they go back to the drawing board a bit and do a revitalised campaign.
Yeah probably Doom. Which is fine but was hoping for something new.
Path traced DOOM Year Zero 😮💨

I think Xbox wants Senua to be seen as an Xbox character and somewhat of an answer to Aloy, Kratos etc even if the games are more niche and smaller scope.
isn't tomorrow the game's original release date? at least going by steam (here in brasil)
In the business update podcast, Phil also said there were 2 live service/mp games and 2 smaller single player games not really meant to be xbox exclusives or tied to the console type things (paraphrased).
Hellblade is definitely the antithesis of that category because it was announced alongside the XSX reveal and has been deliberately hyped up as a franchise exclusive. So .. yeah I would prob categorize it as that too.
It was May second in the States 🤔 At least, officially. I was a day off with the Showcase announce so maybe Redfall is a day earlier too..
Yeah, there is a fine line and usually people here keep it real.
Usually 😉
its also a behemoth with an insane following, it really makes sense (and i've not touched a COD in years).
I just hope people can take it for what it is, since it is definitely not Xbox's Aloy or Kratos (at least not type of game-wise). I almost feel like Xbox has hyped the game up too much and people are going to be upset that it's not Xbox's God of War or Horizon ZD/FW.
I'd argue Hellblade is infinitely better but that's just my tastes. Narrative > everything to me, gameplay is secondary. I never got complaints about Hellblades combat because it did the trick and the story was enough to make it extremely compelling. I feel like not every high production story game has to have the same gameplay formula.
oh you're probably right then. unless they announce it tomorrow and release it thursday idk
philbo really said fuck vix imma release this announce a day early after browsing this thread
They don't seem to have a particular day they like to ship updates on (like Tuesday for Halo for example). They've done Monday, Thursday and Friday in the past. We shall see...!!
Bring em back and have them say World Premiere and Bethesda Softworks presents and whatever. Even better if they say Console launch exclusive for their own games, would start some discourse about what they meant by that.
Also that's like 44 options alone, and first party could make up anywhere from like 20-25 of whatever gets shown off. I think they just need to make these thangs longer. Not like 4 hours ala The Game Ads but closer to 120 minutes sans Direct might be necessary
No lol. This is for the showcase Bingo Board. A word bank to generate your own bingo board for the showcase
I'll put "A Collection" to leave it open-ended and possible for some double dippage 🤔 That way if Mega Man Battle Collection or whatever shows up it'll count 😂
I'll also add "A Remaster" to go with "A Remake" ...
Personally I wouldn't say infinitely better, but I'd go with equally as good but different 🙂. Expectations from the general public are the wildcard though.
Here's an example board drawn up, with selections of what I feel like is fairly plausible... Das a BINGO. Feel like last year had a lot of words in the bank it was pretty difficult to get a bingo in. So hopefully there's some "winners" (no prizes tho lmao!)
It's only once a year and I agree they should make them longer. People that don't want to tune in can just catch the recaps.
Fair, I'm just a bit of a movie snob and my game tastes align with my affinity for interesting and creative narratives so the blockbuster games don't always do it for me. GoW is cool but some of the action adventures can be really bland.
I feel every year with these big showcases Xbox addresses some of biggest talking points happening in this bubble we follow.
Things like "exclusive" or "stop showing games so far in advance" or "what is starfield?"
I hope this showcase they tackle the question, "Why invest in the Xbox ecosystem?"

I hope this showcase they tackle the question, "Why invest in the Xbox ecosystem?"
which is exactly why I feel like they would try and overcompensate/course correct post Business Update to reiterate the whole "the biggest games will come to Xbox (Idk some surprise or blockbusters, like a Gears 6 or 3rd Party partnership thing like Kingdom Hearts 4)" and "All our games on GP Day 1 (COD)" and "There is no fundamental change to our approach on exclusivity."
On the last point and the reaction since the Podcast is why I think they should really just hammer home things about exclusivity for the upcoming titles. people trollin' and port begging will happen regardless. But the casual viewer will hear them keep say exclusive and be like oh I guess they're not multiplatform
Oh man, I just bought Kona II not that long ago. I guess it's been a couple months.
This is why I was so convinced about id like, how are Machine making Indy AND Quake while id are just making one game?
I guess id did help with Indy too but even still. I suppose Quake is probably in early development.
