Impressive honestly, even more so when you consider that I've had Game Pass since late 2018 (with a couple off months in 2019 where I wasn't subbed) and I've only spent $1 of my own money on the service.
Agree. Most SoD players are very happy with UL.It's good to see UL listening to player feedback. QoL ideas and suggestions from three years ago actually making it into the game. It bodes well for the future.

I don't think we'll ever know, especially at the very tippy top. I mean, presumably, you don't buy Minecraft unless you think there's something to this whole gaming thing. But even for years after Minecraft, Xbox continued to be severely underfunded. Myerson clearly didn't care about Xbox and I've heard some claims that he was essentially actively sabotaging the project in favor of the other products he was running too. When he left, he gave it little respect - and possibly just honestly knew nothing about it. It's not impossible that Xbox was still very much in limbo even just months before it came out swinging at E3 2018. Maybe, maybe not. Who really knows. Either way, the shareholders were VERY vocal that they wanted Xbox spun off or killed entirely in the mid-2010s. Just a rough time for MS overall, particularly in the consumer space. Very few wins.Wanted to make a thread but realized I don't have enough posts on resetera to create one so I'll ask here:
How close was Microsoft to leaving the console market last gen? I wasn't really paying attention to the gaming industry from like 2011-2019 and looking back I didn't notice how bad things were, or at least how bad they appeared to be. I heard rumblings on Defining Duke a few months ago that in 2016 Microsoft was within 2 weeks of killing the Xbox brand and going third party.
It's crazy to think how different this gen would be if the only new console was the PS5, or how insane it would be to only have Nintendo and Sony producing consoles.
IKR. Why isn't my Mii giving me my stats, huh? Errbody else be slacking. Clearly. Clearly...Xbox was the only one with a metaverse museum. Others need to step it up clearly
5 and a half years?? 🥺if it's already been pushed then the button is hopefully now "DELAY AVOWED BY 2026 DAYS"

Maybe more ? Perfect Dark development goes well now, by 2024 it will have 6 years of dev. The coalition will be deep at work for 5 years, same for inxile but I think all of those will be after 2024.
Xbox exclusive Perception will change lighting fast. If the acquisitions go through, I except Blizzard New Survival IP to be at least timed exclusive and this game have major veterans team on it, same for Zenimax Online New IP. 2025/2026 with Fable, TOW2, Indiana Jones, IOI New IP etc... Will be simply braazy for Xbox.
Xbox Sales trajectory will be exponential for sure, and to end all of that Tes 6, the goat by 2027, 2028. Xbox Series S/X have potential to sold +80M
Yeah I'm going to see numbers on paper for these sales figures.
I've been lurking on InstallBase and they paint a grim picture in relative terms.
2:1 again...

have you seen the types of roles they've been looking to hire for it? i really don't think we're seeing it anytime soon, let alone release by '24 loolContraband? Who the hell knows. Things have gone radio silent on that one.

Perfect Dark
- With the Executive Producer and other directors, and in collaboration with the Publisher, you own the strategic development of the franchise beyond our current game (sequels, spin-offs, transmedia, etc.).
- As the Creative Director, you are the main evangelizer of the game and the franchise, internally (team, studio) and externally (publisher, press, community). You know how to win over an audience, you have presence on stage or in front of a camera, you inspire people and create this spark in their mind that instantly excites them about our projects.

That's what I was hoping was the case, since the senior designer role was for "engagement". If there hasn't been turnover and they're just expanding roles into the user experience side, that could be a good sign of progress. Nevertheless, probably not an imminent release, either way.It's different creative director roles, more like managing role and liaison roles between game team & Publisher.
Contraband Game director is Omar Shakir.
The game have many Technical directors, and sometimes open roles like it it's just to replace someone.

The only one I disagree on is the Compulsion game. They've been working on it since they wrapped up We Happy Few in 2018(?). I think 6 years is enough time. Though honestly if everything went haywire I could see 2025/2026This is my guess.
I think in general we shouldn't assume a leaked untitled game project will be coming out the year after next when they haven't even been announced yet.
In general, revenue specifics are not disclosed for the games on these lists, so we group them into buckets to give an idea of how they stack up. Games are randomly sorted within each bucket:
Platinum: 1st - 12th
Gold: 13th - 24th
Silver: 25th - 50th
Bronze: 51st - 100th

dishonored
doom 2016
prey
deathloop
wolfenstein 2

I need to get the art of Dishonored 2 and Deathloop books tbh. Shit slaps
To this day, I'm still bitter about the disconnect...trust me I've voiced mycomplaintsumm concerns to everyone I know there lol. Hunt the Truth got "two seasons" and just...poof...nothing to see here. Friendships were almost dissolved lol not really but...still...

No fucking way. Ban me if half of those release in 2023
EDIT, cant read
you won't be banned because they will all release in 2024 instead 😌
idk if okami considers himself an insider but Klob played into the rumor, so...Still unsure if the Redfall in May thing has more or less been confirmed - with folks having varying opinions on the legitimacy of the "insider" involved -
I know it's not a popular decision, but I really want XGS to dabble in more licensed IP.
I know Indy's coming but that was in the works long before the acquistion.
I'm talking like Coalition on a licensed something or other, or Obsidian working on Star Trek or something.
Licensed IP can generate huge interest if done correctly.
so if redfall is may then is starfield early 2023? Also if starfield is delayed and redfall is may that means no AAA exclusives for 1.5 years. total bsidk if okami considers himself an insider but Klob played into the rumor, so...
no, i don't think the scheduling revolves around redfall's release. we also don't know where forza slots in (april?????)so if redfall is may then is starfield early 2023? Also if starfield is delayed and redfall is may that means no AAA exclusives for 1.5 years. total bs

Rand question - are there any games on steam that give you Xbox achievements as you play through them?
It's good to see UL listening to player feedback. QoL ideas and suggestions from three years ago actually making it into the game. It bodes well for the future.
Only MP games *make* you sign to Live, but you can sign and get achievements in all of them (except older ones like Quantum Break)
