Internal XGS teams need time which is why I was hoping Global Pub would have some stuff lined up. Hopefully the games that come out these next two years are great even if its not as many as people have hoped.

Yeah, he makes it sound like Avalanche is working with MS but the Typhoon project isn't theirs.
I mentioned this earlier but I think you will find he did not say that Typhoon isn't Avalanche's game.... I think he might be indicating that Typhoon is the game and not a reference to the studio?Can you post a link to it?
EDIT:
It was this?
Xbox Game Studios & Bethesda |OTXIV| Sarah Bond, From Game Pass With Love OT
rumored Arkane Austin vampire gamewww.resetera.com
Ori 2 and Flight Simulator are Global Pub, right? Those were the two best games Xbox released last year, so they seem to be pulling their weight.
I agree, I think the XGP team and Gamepass needs to be aggressive while the first-party stuff cooks. However, I think that many of the bigger games may not arrive until 2023 now and thats just the reality of it all.
Gamepass has been aggressive with Day One launches of MLB The Show 21, Outriders, and Dungeons & Dragons: Dark Alliance. I'd expect it to continue.
I kind of agree. IMO, there's a pretty big chance Halo will be overshadowed by Starfield at this E3 if they actually show Starfield's gameplay, and Starfield will likely get all the headlines as a new big IP from the makers of The Elder Scrolls and Fallout which is also likely to be a XSX/PC exclusive. The exclusivity alone would be huge news, because there are lots of people who STILL don't believe that Bethesda's games won't be on PS5. It's obviously a good thing from Xbox's point of view, but for Halo, not so much. So Halo would benefit from its own "State of Play" kind of thing.
Something found in the just released patch notes for FS2020 :
Looks like we will have some news soon. Looks also that Xbox One is not a part of the plan anymore...

As well as Crusader Kings 3 and the just announced Victoria 3 on the PC side.
I need to say that I'm a little bit confused with Jeff's statement that Avowed will not be ready for E3 as the info that I have is that "we'll have a trailer for our big game at E3" and "Avowed will be shown this year" and "game is in great shape, almost fully on schedule".
I didn't post it a week ago as you know how things can go crazy if you post anything.
Also, don't wanna speculate anything, as I know that Jeff has great record - it could be related to planning but game is in good shape and it will be shown this year. From the conversation I was convinced that it would be a gameplay trailer for E3. Now I'm pretty much confused.

Are we? I havnt kept up on the rumours. Please to god be true.
Not suggesting they aren't, just saying that they will need to continue to do so in order to take away focus from first party maturation right now.
👀👀
The Game is in full prod since +1 year now, I think we can get Gameplay Trailer.
+ if "game is in great shape, almost fully on schedule" it's true, that mean the game could be Ready for 2022 isn't it ? 👀
A drought in what regard? First parties? Probably, but there won't definitely be a shortage of games to play on Xbox, thanks to Games Pass. So I wouldn't call it a drought at all. It isn't even now.
Honestly, I think it will depend on how 2021 ends. I do think they are always being aggressive with acquisitions but I don't know if another big studio/publisher is 1. looking to be bought like Betheseda was or 2. Fits the needs of what MS wants to do. I think WB would be great for them or Sony given the uncertainty regarding the merger and I don't want the devs to be shuttered but the IP ownership rights or publishing rights would need to be included to really get the most out of those acquisitions.
Didn't Jeff say he "thinks" Avowed wouldn't be there? Wish he'd be more clearer when he talks about this stuff.
Xbox will be fine. Xbox is not doing fine. Its a pretty sad state of affairs when you see Sony's 1st party releases in 20/21 vs Xbox.
Maybe it'll be shown at the game awards or some other show this year. MS have said they want to spread out their announcements etc.
I think Avowed is lot closer than people think.
The outsourcing beginning Early 2020 and the team was already here (POE2 veteran with few new talent according to Megan Starks) + The universe is already here.
Game like Fable, Perfect Dark, Everwild need to build their team from near scratch

That's in line with late 2022/early 2023 target.
He was the only director since beginning - now is co-directing, as team is now structured in same manner as TOW2 team. It's not like there was any major roadblocks with him, it's only to ensure better coordination within the team. Will the team have more changes to the core team up to the release? We'll see.
May be they decided to have it at a later show. Xbox is also supposed to be at the summer gamefest show may be they decided to put it there.
Yeah, Grubb implied that 2022 is going to be the banger E3. This year they won't show a second trailer for games already announced with a CG trailer when actual gameplay isn't ready to be shown. That probably eliminates most of the big stuff announced last year.
I'm still hyped for it though... I am expecting a few new announcements, Halo deep dive, surprise game pass announcements, and hopefully an in-engine Starfield trailer (not expecting a Todd demo til next year).

Turn 10 was efficient before. Apparently their new tools allows them to work even faster. I'm counting on forza releasing content incomplete rather than waiting to get 500 cars and 30 tracks for launch. I think Microsoft will have a racing title to show off...and I'd rather have motorsport.
I swear this board paints a picture that every game is years away from even being shown...yet alone released.
Does someone have a list of all the things Grubb said today? Can't even catch up.
Ha ha I think the quality of my posts are just fine. Like I said before we'll have to agree to disagree here.
I do start to feel like this is not so far from how I feel, I know there is some bright future down the line but the new stuff coming and unique experiences now in Xbox are totally lacking and there is nothing wrong with being vocal.
Microsoft has a great plan for a future that will eventually arrive but things really went south towards what will be at the end of the first year of the machine.
Gamepass is still amazing and wonderful but at the end of the day playing all games all day is not the next gen experience.
Yea from everything we're hearing it sounds like it's going to be a great show. I'm really excited to see what this Typhoon game is lol.
My guess is that if FH5 is at E3 and releasing this year it's cross-gen and likely an outsourced title that's little more than a warmed-over refresh of FH4.
Would explain a lot about that game, including why we didn't see it in last-summer's showcase and why we're not getting a showstopper location.
Just my speculation / opinion.

Doesn't seem to be any rumors surrounding it but I wonder if MS has any more acquisitions in the back pocket.
I think this serves to highlight the importance of the Zenimax deal. What if you thought about the next few years for XBox and took away Starfield. Took away Wolfenstein. Took away the next Doom. That is often touted as their ace in the hole, but I think they needed it to stay afloat.

I wouldn't be surprised if they announce something at E3. Didn't they mention more m&a in their latest quarterly results?
It's almost certainly going to be cross-gen. If FH5 is just FH4 but in Mexico id be very excited. I have no interest in driving around the UK, but Mexico is a gorgeous location.
