Xbox Game Studios + Bethesda + ABK |OT30| Why So Series X|S?

I wholeheartedly agree. Doom was literally born to be played on absolutely everything. Even refrigerators and calculators.
although im much more interested in a Quake reboot that is more inline visually to the original a new DOOM is overdue
I am very much ready to rip and tear
hope that along side Doom Year Zero (for lack of a better name atm) and Quake 6 via Xbox Direct that Wolfenstein isnt dead in the water.
Youngblood was a baaad misstep, literally couldnt play more than like 30min and I know cyberpilot didnt do well but please please
dont just kill this franchise again. Could do enough for at minimum one more in the alt history of the last 2 main titles.

What they're going to do is release Halo, Gears and Doom on everything and sell those skins to everyone.
Doom will for sure be multiplat. In fact, I expect in the days following the showcase that it'll slowly come out that a bunch of the stuff shown will be multiplat day one as well, along with more back porting announced.
I don't think stuff will be day one that isn't GAAS. Not yet. We are a little bit from that yet.
I think everything should be multiplatform now.
If even before everything that happened those last few months Microsoft already expected that a game like Starfield wouldn't be a system seller, I doubt any game now will be, considering the people's perception about Xbox. Just pull the trigger and let's move on already.

Probably because it is not available for sale on the Windows store and they can't be bothered.
The forgotten multiplayer mode that no one cares about used Steamworks for the matchmaking on PC, and presumably Microsoft/Bethesda figured it wasn't worth the money to either have a version of the game without multiplayer or to patch out the Steamworks support from the game and use a whole new matchmaking system.
I imagine it's going to end up being the same thing with older COD games on PC Game Pass too, but I could be wrong
I completely agree, Series console sales are in the toilet. After what happened with Tango and Arkane Austin I want to see their remaining studios get as many sales from their games as possible. I don't really give a shit about "the brand" anymore so whatever about exclusives, open the floodgates already and call it a day.
Yeah it was a smaller amount but just speaking in generalities.

Honestly I need FF16 on Xbox. I can understand them not bothering with FF7R since it's 3 part but 16 is a big one and can make the way for other smaller titles to release on Xbox.

Square Enix unleashed. Was about time. Ws always curious how a publisher can ignore so much income.
THEY OUTRIGHT MENTIONED XBOX BY NAME IN THE OFFICIAL COMPANY STRATEGY. I CANT BELIEVE IT.
Lol yep! Wild to me that they bring FF to Xbox (finally!) after so many years and then years later completely ditch whatever fanbase they built on that platform with their newest blockbuster FF games.
It's sad what happened to Tango but Square is just following Sega, Capcom, Bandai and even Konami with their multiplatform success.
The age of exclusives is over. Let's just enjoy videogames.
They will build the fanbase again with Game Pass like LAD and Persona did.
MS is openly speaking about the elephant in the room basically and gets "hated" for it while other companies just follow suit over time and noone complains anymore out of a sudden. Very entertaining to watch each time.
Absolutely. The option to play games on your preferred system is great and the more people play these games the better. That's why I have nothing against Xbox going multiplatform, I just find the timing funny. It seems like we might see more and more games on Xbox because exclusives are slowly going away, so it will be very, very interesting to see where Xbox sits in a year or two. Phil was completely right about the industry, but I hope they stop making baffling decision.
Xbox are going to stop selling consoles long before Sony is pressured to put all their games on them at this rate.
I'd say we'll know more once it's revealed and we have some idea of release window. If it's any time in the next year or two, might be timed.
Don't even know if Xbox consoles would be around when the day Sony is feeling pressured to go multiplatform comes (If ever). Maybe off Steam on the PC with a Xbox sticker slapped on it.
Doom will be interesting because it'll be the first time Bethesda have shipped a new game in an established franchise since being acquired. All the new IPs have been exclusive but I do wonder if the backlash to exclusivity would be worse for an established IP.
I still believe that by the time PS6 launches, Sony will have ported at least one non-MLB non-Bungie game to Xbox. Probably Helldivers 2 or Concord or something like that. I know it's not a popular view here but I really do think it's the direction the industry is going and Sony is not immune to the trends.
I hope so! LAD and Persona aren't for me personally, but I'd definitely be there day one on Xbox for Final Fantasy. I have a PS5 and play them there because I have to, but I'd prefer to play them on Xbox.
Now that you do bring that up, I could totally see Disney pulling an MLB scenario and forcing Sony to make the franchise multiplatform to be bring in more revenue. And vice versa with Xbox and Blade, though that may end up being multiplatform anyway.
It's because Microsoft are always ahead of the curve, perhaps too fast.
Ahead with online, digital ecosystem, TV TV TV, subscription and now multiplatform.
They also pay special attention to trends. Example:

Sounds familiar?

I'm not against exclusives, it's just that Microsoft are a bit aggressive in how they do things. Difficult to balance I guess when you aren't the market leader and got a console to sell.
There are three platform holders and only one of them is going this direction at the moment.
We know from the Insomniac leaks what that would take and it's pretty unlikely.

This is very possible. Likely in the short term? Probably not, but medium to long term? Very possible.
Edit: Especially when Insomniac moves away from Spider-Man.
The only one that seems at all likely would be HD2, and it's still really low.
Yep agree somtimes they change strategy far too quick. I think that's the due to being one of the richest companies in the world. They can afford to risk that much.
All of the live service games are equally likely. There is no reason why it makes sense for Bungie and not for the other live service games. Hell, even Bungie has been struggling even being on all three platforms.
Good to see. I have FF7 Remake on PC but will double-dip if it comes to Xbox eventually. FF 16 will likely be the first to be ported in any case.
We know why it 'makes sense' for Bungie and not others, though. Bungie has autonomy over their release platforms (for now, but that's a whole other kettle of fish).

What did the leaks say about multiplatform?
Yeah definitely not in the short term. But later for stuff as dev costs increase I could see it.
