"..and new IP that we haven't even talked about yet that is gonna blow your mind "
🤔
So truly original new, or "new" new (reboot/sequel)? 😆 🤔
A new IP wouldn't be a reboot or sequel. But nothing in that statement says the IP is unannounced--just unrevealed. "new IP that we haven't even talked about yet that is gonna blow your mind." He could even be talking about Starfield or Avowed, because they haven't really "talked" about them.
"New IP" has only one meaning. Reboots and sequels aren't new IPs.
hmmmm well technically Xbox have not talked about Starfield yet??? ;)
What are the chances of Arkane Austin's game being announced at E3? I know many (including myself) are hoping for Dishonored 3, but I think it'll likely be Prey 2.
EDIT: Annnnnnnnnd yep definitely Prey 2. I think this will be a DH2/Prey situation. Main studio worked on DH2 and released it in 2016, AA worked on Prey at the same time and released it the next year. So Deathloop this year, Prey 2 next year perhaps?

Check the last two pages. It seems that Austin new project, Omen, it's going to be revealed at this E3.
The rumour is that it's a vampire game to be launched in 2022
Yup.. it's bound to happen with 23 1P devs and over 33+ dev teams and not even counting projects under Global publishing. Game Pass will be well fed.
I think this is the Xbox Game Publishing Typhoon game that Jez talked about. Seems to align completely - unannounced new IP that is supposed to be announced this E3 and is the closest to release among the big XGP projects. I just hope it is not a purely multiplayer game as has been teased.
Huh. Did Quick Resume actually do anything? I would be floored and so excited if cloud saves started to include Quick Resume states o.o I mean, that might be a technical nightmare, but it would be SO COOOL to pull your progress mid-jump from the console to the cloud and back. Would probably break once you go to like PC, but... still yea. I mean, that would be awesome, I think.
Not really a technical nightmare, just a very large amount of data
It is a bold quote, but while Todd is prone to exaggerating sometimes when he's excited, he doesn't really lie (contrary to popular opinion). So Starfield's scope is likely really big and ambitious. I don't know whether they can do stuff like what Star Citizen promised, but unlike Chris Roberts and his team, BGS has an established team and development pipeline that isn't prone to endless delays, so they would likely be far more efficient about making such a game than CIG. So who knows whether they can pull that kind of game off, but I don't doubt that they can actually try. Their games have been getting bigger, as far as the scope is concerned. FO76, for all its flaws, is much bigger than their previous games and yet its open world is still great without suffering from being samey.
From CDPR, I think he will be joining the team working on the Xbox dragon project.
Knowing about this pitch this early is kind of weird, like, I won't see this game for like 3+ years and play it probably in like 2025-26 lol. That's like 2/3rds of the way into this gen.
Yeah, IMO its cool to know about but not really something we are going to see for a long while. Prefect Dark and Elder scrolls could be coming out around that time or before it really.
That Ben Decker quote is from a full interview for anyone interested
www.gamesradar.com
Xbox believes Game Pass is becoming a "central aspect of people's gaming lives" and it has the data to back it up
Microsoft talks Xbox Game Pass and the research indicating its subscribers are becoming more social because of the service
We don't even know what the game is or who's developing it lol.
Indeed. time to let my inner-weeb out to play for a bit... before I have to explain to my wife the importance of manga and anime in my life (again)
I don't think multiplayer games are bad. It would be great if the game has a multiplayer component, I am just hoping that there is a single player component as well. I was just going off of what Windows Central said about the game, that they are going for an ambitious connected world setting from a prominent developer who is typically known for single player games. I have always been a single player gamer, that's all. I actually just bought the first console I have had in my life (apart from a cheap NES knock-off I had in the 90s), after having been subscribed to game pass pc for a while. So I am just hoping for more games that I would play on Game Pass.
Here's my top 10 list:
1: Halo Infinite. I don't care about much, it's Halo and that gameplay demo looked fun as hell. Halo MCC has been my go to casual multiplayer game, and Halo Infinite having more of that awesome Halo gameplay is just gonna be awesome.
2: Starfield. I know nothing about this game but it's a brand new BGS game set in space and I have always really enjoyed playing BGS games and they just always get everything right in a way that no other developer has really done except for Obsidian with Fallout New Vegas. Elder Scrolls 6 is right up here with Starfield, but I feel like it's cheating to include both on this list as of now.
3: Hellblade 2. Not only will it likely be one of the first big "tech demo" kind of games this gen if it looks half as good as the reveal trailer, but the first Hellblade game told a great story and had amazing execution, and while very simple I felt that the combat was also incredibly fun and satisfying. A sequel that can expand on the story from the first game and continue going into everything on top of expanding on the combat (mostly getting rid of the lock on) will almost certainly be incredible
4: Deathloop. It's a brand new Arkane game and it looks like it will be fun as all hell. Getting all the new abilities and learning the world seems like it will be so much fun, and I am just so for that.
5: Wolfenstein 3. The unique almost grounded insanity of the reboot games have been awesome and gameplay has also been fun as all hell. Plus it's just Nazi killing awesomeness.
6: Psychonauts 2. Grew up playing the first game and it still holds up today. Very excited to play the sequel later this year.
7: Avowed. No idea why, but something about this game is just very exciting to me. A big budget Obsidian game presumably set in an open world that's free to be explored just sounds awesome.
8: Fable. I grew up playing the Fable games and I'd really love to see a modern take on the series. I just really hope it'll still have the co-op from 3 and I think 2. Either way, I just want some fun whimsical fantasy, nothing to crazy or serious. Lighthearted darkness like the original would be awesome.
9: Project: Mara. I just want an absolutely terrifying horror game that'll actually have something to say, and I think Mara might end up being this.
10: Everwilds. I know nothing about this game but the music, artstyle and the fact that it's being developed by Rare have me sold honestly.
1: Halo Infinite. I don't care about much, it's Halo and that gameplay demo looked fun as hell. Halo MCC has been my go to casual multiplayer game, and Halo Infinite having more of that awesome Halo gameplay is just gonna be awesome.

Wait, what?
Isn't BGS Austin hiring for a new unannounced project? 👀
This is a box you don't have to put yourself in though. Game Pass allows for broadened horizons, it's a great thing.
I don't care about multi-player games anymore (unless it's couch co-op).
I'm 100% single player / couch co-op. As a dad with 3 kids my multi-player days are long gone. I either play local with my best friends on the weekend on the rare occasion we get together, or with my kids. Literally no time to pickup and "get good" at anything that is competitive online.
I'm fine with that though, haha. I use to tear things up online from the 90s (Tribes/Quake/Doom/Unreal) into the mid 2000s on the 360/PC/PS3. 😉 Those days are behind me. I like my games in spurts, or in adventures I can jump in and out of instantly.
Nothing wrong with great multiplayer games, but I want some new Single Player IPs. MP games are a dime a dozen.
Sounds like a technical nightmare :p I was also thinking about launching and running from a paused RAM state. But, I suppose that might be a solved problem. I do not know haha.
I do wonder what the differences between a normal cloud save operation and a quick resume save are. Even if it's just a size problem, we're looking at like 10x-100x the size? But it'd be cool... haha.
sounds pretty neat
