ehh I know that uncharted has a MP but thats not what the game is about compared to Gears... of course gears would have more players now. That doesn't mean uncharted didn't review better, sell better or is generally a better game (all things that are generally believed to be true).
and I am a big fan of Gears of War 4.
In addition to discussing next-gen, it would be nice if we could just get one small peek at what a next-gen Xbox game will look like.
I think watching the TLoU2 or Gears 5 trailer gives us a better idea.
Though I have a feeling The Initiative's game is going to be next gen's Gears of War moment.
"I want teams to work on whatever they want to work on, and it's okay for someone to be disappointed when it isn't something they wold be interested in."
Seems like Bethesda /Zenimax has been playing around with game pass a bit, putting newer and newer games on there. I'm thinking they're going to be launching a new game on game pass day one. Maybe the next Wolfestein or Doom Eternal. Mark it, I'm going all in.
If Arkane is really making a game heavily inspired by The Crossing, that would probably be the best candidate. Still feels very unlikely to me.
I was looking at blue dragon ( idek why just was) and came across this old article about blue dragon

I'm just tired of a comparison between a tps and an action game with occasional shooting sequences. Plus Uncharted is the emblem of what I hate in modern gaming
I will continue to maintain that if executed properly, Gears could become a huge franchise on PC. It seems to have so many of the trappings of a major PC title (high skill ceiling, challening 'hardcore' gameplay, numerous modes/flavours of play, great fit for Esports, etc.)
Design a competent singleplayer (in its own right - not just to tick a box), keep the skill-based competitive multiplayer, implement some casual modes, overhaul the progression system (or in other words, less egregious microtransactions), chuck it on Steam, and add mod/map-maker support.

One thing I REALLY love in SoT is that every single element added has something unique, a gimmick that ties it to the rest of the game in a particular way.
IDK about the map maker, gears has to tie every element of the map to animations, devs always talk how it's way more difficult to design a map for that franchise, maybe it will be done maybe not.
One thing that pc gamers don't enjoy in gears is that the skill is more in the movement than in the aim, I've played with several pc gamers friend and all of them claimed that the gameplay was designed to be a console shooter rather than a pc one. Of course there are many succesful pc tps, like the division 2, but none of them requires the skill movement of gears.
About the sp, obviusly better than not(although I stated severl times that the competent way that 5 took is a scam) but for the success of the competitive scene is pretty irrelevant
While I'd love a new Blue Dragon, and that's obviously what this article is talking about since it was written well after the DS games released, I don't think Phil has ever said 'never' to anything.
Nobody gives a shit about Uncharted multiplayer, is why. The single-player is the big thing.
They will have 3 years unlike previous entries when they launch in Fall 2021.
I predict Japan, Story Mode and RTX goodness.
However, the 2 DLCs they do usually won't be enough since its a longer time between the games, they need to keep pushing lot more content updates well into 2020 atleast which I'm confident they will.

No doubt designing maps is exceptionally challenging, particularly for Gears where every vertical surface represents cover. Though this difficulty is purely a hurdle. If you put mod-tools in into the hands of an audience of millions, you're guaranteed to get some diamonds of design. But more importantly than competently designed competitive spaces, you'll get absurd concepts that a paid employee could never generate. Games like CSGO, TF2, Minecraft, and Black Ops 3 had an extremely long tail, and continue to generate millions of viral views purely through zany mod content.
Perhaps, but I still disagree. Gears 1 had a small but cult following on PC that predated this Esports and Twitch explosion, and it wasn't really an issue here.
I have heard these complaints before from PC players, but personally I believe they're misdiagnosing the problem, which is principally that Gears has an incredibly high skill floor. I don't think it's a hard game for PC gamers to play - it's that it's just hard game to get into period. When you first start in Gears multi you either spend your time shooting peas into bullet-sponge enemies from afar, or dieing instantly to a seemingly janky shotgun blast. It's super unfulfilling. I think many newcomers fall off Gears purely because the depth and nuance of the combat system isn't in your face.
I disagree, though mainly because I think you need to capture the casual market -> then you can build and sustain a competitive scene.. 'Come for the Campaign, Stay for the Multiplayer' is a tactic vindicated 100 times over. If you want to penetrate the mass market, a Campaign (or whatever is the fad at the moment e.g. BR) seems almost essential.
While a comical example, if Gears 5 were as well-received as The Last of Us, you'd be guaranteed an enormous PC audience.
I didn't know ex-LionHead devs were working on a new game. That's super cool to see!
Nice! I got new internet to my home and got "free" Xbox One S 1TB with it. Well I agreed for 2 year deal for that internet, but anyway! Finally i can play Xbox games at home and not on my friends and relatives.
Is there any gamepass deals going right now btw? I'm only planning using gamepass and maybe XCloud once it comes.

Thank you for backing me up.
Guys, it's fine that Ninja Theory is making the game they want to make. But I am particularly disappointed if it's a multiplayer game because Hellblade is my game of the generation. I wanted to play their next single player narrative game to see how it would stack up to Hellblade.
However, someone else in the thread said Ninja Theory May be working on as many as 3 games right now; they have multiple teams.

They have multiple teams being lead by different people with different creative visions.

via google €229 = $260
Why do you say $199 US?
If its a penny over that, this thing is deader than dead on arrival imo, 200 is a nice niche to try out though
€ includes 17-25% VAT
But yeah maybe that console will retail for $249 MSRP
Using the controller as reference, not really. Wouldn't be surprised if they kept it the same seize and just took out the disc reading components to save money.
This stuff gives me life man. I'm in a discord with several people that worked on the original Fable and every now and then a feature comes up that was planned for or removed from the original Fable, it's pretty wild.
If you love Fable, or if you love Stardew Valley, don't sleep on Kyneseed. I really hope it comes to consoles.

Don't think MS ever think about changing market with this since beginning.
So why release it? they want to change their Market towards more digital but with this price i don't think so
I'd think if it more as dipping your toe in the water. What kind of consumer reaction does it have. How many do they sell, etc. I'm a little disappointed with the price. Was hoping 199 myself.
I don't know why people rule out $199 at all.
This is 70€ below EU MSRP and the EU price includes VAT
So $199 for the US market is still possible. Also you get 3 great games.

i know they are testing the waters but still they could sell it for 200$
200 is reasonable. It is a question, though, of what MS is trying to do with this console. We really have next to no idea. Given how little they're advertising this, even though it's clearly been ready to talk about generally for a while, they don't necessarily want this to grab all of the attention and turn the industry over. I assume. But I don't know, I guess.
