I really doubt TES VI will release anywhere close to Wolverine, the game will probably be their biggest ever and Starfield is still a year away. Wolverine is probably a 2024 title (Insomniac has 2 studios).
Sony has zero games left this year and I don't see any doom either :) I think it's a different situation when you actually have games in the back pocket.
Q1 and Q2 2022 will have some Xbox timed exclusive however anyway, such as Stalker 2. And you will see stuff like FH5 Expansion, Halo Infinite updates etc.
I will be honest. I don't see much doom anywhere other than on this place here and even here only from the usual people. There is way more meta-commentary about doom and gloom than there actually is here. Even the reaction to the leaked Redfall images has actually been rather positive, excluding people who don't know about game dev.
XGS literally just released a GotY contender and will still release three AAA Games this year that are all shaping up fine, the announced roadmap of games is (much) larger than any other first party organization. I think we are just fine on Xbox :)

Even Spiderman 2 may not release in 2023--they're only targeting it, and it's not like Sony doesn't delay games--so there's no guarantee that Wolverine is releasing in 2024.
It's totally feasible for TES VI to release in Fall 2025. Bethesda never released a second game in a generation later than 2-3 years after the first one (which always took 4 years). TES VI will be using Starfield's engine, and it helps that they have the lore, gameplay basics, and even the rough draft of the map thanks to ESO. The game won't take a lot of time after they go in full production. It's well documented that the Creation Engine is incredibly easy to make content for.
Skyrim was made by 100 devs in 3 years after Fallout 3. TES VI can be made by 400 devs in 3 years after Starfield.
Definitely. The PS5 had a very strong start to the generation that definitely must have softened the blow of this fall's souped up PS4 ports. Halo Infinite and FH5 will likely have a similar effect.
Not saying it won't have anything at all. But timed exclusives and expansions usually don't leave the same impression as a brand new 1st party game. And with Horizon FW and GT7 being released back to back next spring, as well as Sony's 3rd party (timed exclusives), I wouldn't be surprised if the doomer mentality flares up again.
Me too. I think Wolverine will be released earlier than TES6. And in all honesty, the prophecy started in the first game was fulfilled in Skyrim so the main plot line probably has ended.

I keep forgetting about CrossfireX. It was supposed to be released this year, right? It's a potential Q1 or Q2 release for sure.
Yeah, but there's a lot of weird stuff going around. Jeff Grubb said he heard it was in development hell, other people have said they heard Remedy's part was done but Smilegate may not be happy with it... I dunno, it's all messy.
Haha, true yea :)
Yea, maybe. I also don't know where As Dusk Falls fits into right now, that could be another one.
I have heard of one XGS release in Q2 that is not announced yet, but it's technically not a completely new game (not allowed to share sry). We'll see if that turns out to be true.
If/when the BC program continues then it's very possible OG Xbox Silent Hill 2 and 4 become BC.
Oof. Hopefully they can salvage it... but it sounds like it's even farther out then.
Since Crossfire X has been announced, I've been looking for this gif. It's the Chosen Gif, the one that perfectly resumes how I feel everytime I see someone hyping Crossfire X. Thank you 😌🖤
(for real though, I can't be the only one that played the Original and the beta when it was available, right? That game is like, Road to Hell levels of bad)
same here. It even seems better than the Xbox OT here on era which has been filled with concern trolling lately.
Do you think that Stalker 2 can be released in the first half of 2022? Considering that the game is being developed on UE5, I personally doubt that we will see it in 2022.
I know it's extremely unlikely, but I would love it to be an outsourced Morrowind remake in May 2022 for its 20-year anniversary.
I went with the official release date of the game :) 28th April 2022.

I mean if we are honest. The game being average to good is a small change. The mp won't be making a dent and the campaign even by remedy is still some work for hire thing. I always try to be positive. But don't think it's gonna be something good. Also no gamepass day one release.
They could be wrong. This wasn't a story Grubb was confident in enough to write, which means he hasn't confirmed it, hes just talking on a podcast about something he heard from one source.
I think, with Halo getting pushed to December, The Gunk will get pushed to Q1, which is a game I'm really excited about.
Thunderful Group is INCREDIBLY slept on. The SteamWorld games are fantastic, and tbh, if they weren't a growing public company, they'd be a perfect pickup for Xbox.

It's literally the most played multiplayer game in the world... pretty sure it'll "make a dent". The campaign, we'll see. Remedym even work-for-hire, is still Remedy.
I think it's the same reason people think the next elder scrolls has to go to Playstation. People aren't used to major titles skipping the platform. But if Phil wants to apply pressure to Sony to get GP on Playstation that's exactly what is going to have to happen.
On PC in a different region. Sorry the most won't make a dent compared to war zone, Halo, CoD, Fortnite, Battlefield
Aside from star field and red fall we really don't know what's 2022 huh? Interesting.

edit2: I kno for most ppl indies don't count but for somebody like me stuff like Somerville next year is hype

I suppose it's possible, but we're already looking at Redfall, Forza Motorsport and Starfield for the latter half of the year. I'm guessing it will launch in early 2023 and will be one of the XGS games that will finally put an end to their winter/spring droughts.
Forza Motorsport (8) is probably a 2022 game.
I still don't understand the reason to do that considering that you need TV in order to use Playstation.
Probably late fall tho right, they gonna let horizon 5 breathe pls dlc for it etc
Yeah. September 2022 at the earliest, but it could launch as late as November.
Just a matter of having GP everywhere. I don't think that will ever happen though. Mostly because I can't imagine an arrangement that would be acceptable to both parties. I think having 3rd party games on GP is where it all breaks down logistically.
A different region? Xbox exists in every region. Even if it only does ok in America and exceptional elsewhere, that's ok, it's a big world.
And no shit it won't be among the most popular games in the world, that's a crazy standard....
I don't understand how yesterday we were all agreeing that judging Redfall off a pre-alpha is nuts, but now we're writing off games based on a demo from a year and half ago. It's not even a game for me, but that's just a bad attitude. Do you, I guess...
The game is mostly popular in Asia. Also I am not judging the game like Redfall. Just using common sense. And the other games being so popular has affect on this game to make dent. That's why I listed them
There's different levels to this. Insurgency Sandstorm is not among that list, it's still a success. Warface is not among that list, it's still a success. World of Warplanes, Tanks, and Warships are not among that list, they're all still successes. Like I said, judging this based on a year and half old demo is insane. I don't think a billion players are all playing a bad game because they're stupid (By the way, they're not all in one region either).
If Xbox cannot secure exclusivity for this, I say they drop the series after this first installment.
Having a super talented first party studio tied up for a decade+ with an IP you don't own and that isn't exclusive to your platforms is a no from me, dawg.
Full disclosure: I just want Wolf 3.
Preach. I know it's a battle of opinions on this topic but you have my sword.
I tried mulitple times and couldnt get into it. Like you said, I found it too janky and a chore to play. Psychonauts 2 though is amazing.
The devs that made Lost in Random and Fe are the other studio that made Thunderful group. And they've acquired 2-4 smaller studios over the last couple years too. I continue to think it'd be a really interesting pickup for Microsoft. So much talent and diversity in games. They're smaller, but with high production values. Thus, seemingly perfect for feeding Game Pass. And in Sweden, where a lot of other great studios/people are, including Mojang.
I could see a separate team in Machine just for Indy continue to make those games with a multiplat, day one on GP, and joint funding for development agreement.
But if Lucasfilm Games just licenses games and doesnt pay for dev, I would say that its not worth funding a team for a multiplatform game.
It doesn't make sense if the game is not exclusive. I mean, why wasting several years of development on the title that is released everywhere? Though, Machine Games and Godd Howard were both interested in Indiana Jones games so I can understand where MS is coming from.
Now I know the topic about KOTOR died, but one of the things I just realized is we literally celebrate 20th anniversary of Xbox and having one of the foundational titles announced exclusive for Playstation the same very year is kinda...weird. Even if MS did the math and thought they had enough RPGs, it would be such a nice thing to do. KOTOR even a third person game that Xbox lacks too. But alas.
