Great News! Gears 5 baby!
Sweater Imago was indeed an awesome and hilarious skin.
so I think gears 5 is def this year. full blowout this E3 me thinks.
Pls open the skins up for purchase from in-game credits, Rod. I know you're reading this.
I've been waiting to play What Remains of Edith Finch since 2017
Good stuff, fingers crossed I can buy a pet monkey pretty soon. Hurry up Rare, I want to give you money.
Soon! (pre E3 would be my guess) MS want as many subs as possible.
They also partnered with simplygon which is also Microsoft. IMO it is not surprising really. These are developer focused tools that a lot devs use and makes sense to me that they support it. These Dev tools can be used on switch and PS4 so why not Stadia.
I'm not saying we haven't seen it. It's been in the marketplace forever. I'm saying MS has never publicallly acknowledged it's existence, and it's obvious the game is built for mobile
Not sure, nothing on Twitter regarding the announcement too, maybe a dev update from Joe Neate as usual with a Trailer.
Really hoping for a quick release, don't want to wait for months for this update from the date of announcement.
the content they tease (and have been testing) won't be out right away. They just released a patch yesterday.
https://www.seaofthieves.com/release-notes/1.4.5
doesn't have much of the stuff they are testing in it.
for those of you wanting to see that xbox studios logo in sea of thieves. here you go. nothing special. enjoy it in all its 720p output Original Xbox One glory.

Given that we know Turtle Rock had some level of communications with MS about a purchase, the timing of Turtle Rock's announcement of a new game is curious. Here's my thought – they have been working on this new title for some time and signed a deal w/ WB in 2018, planning to do an E3 announcement/push for it in 2019. However, talks w/ MS start and eventually lead to a purchase. Now they have a problem. They have an unannounced game by another publisher in the works. My thought is the announcement dropped low-key on message boards was to get the info out, so come E3 they don't have to announce a new multiplatform game and acquisition in the same breath, leading to LOTS of confusion and questions.
Really? I thought today was just a trailer and a new web page, streams will be at a later date to dive into different aspects of the update?
Yes as in a trailer. They have never said anything about a live stream.
This makes a lot of sense especially considering how lackluster and devoid of any real substance their announcement for Back4Blood was
So I am new to the microsoft/xbox world, what is this talk of a stream? akin to a nintendo direct?
Ahh, okay that's what I thought. I was just confused cause someone mentioned a stream today and you said yes.
well Microsoft has hour long live shows once a month called Inside Xbox on your favorite video platform, if that is what you are curious about.
But no, there is no stream today. Just a Sea of Thieves YouTube trailer with future features is expected to be posted today.
Really love seeing stuff like this. The investment into new and improved tech like this always gets me starry-eyed.
Totally agree with you.
Also, as promising as some of their features sound, taking advantage of them means making a game that's likely only capable of running on Stadia since as far as we know no other platform has that kind of MP and split-screen, scalability... (Xcloud might have it, but since games would have to be able to run in a single hardware instance (console and PC) I think they'll have to use it in a more traditional way, they can't make a game that NEEDS multiple blades working in unison
Makes me think in a way in VR/AR, a cool concept that can be great but that risks (at least in the beginning) not being used in any meaningful way
I'm so proud of myself
Vampyr marks the first time I manage to wait for a game I'm moderately interested in to come to Game Pass without buying it before hahah
Maybe the reason is the same why they dropped the Forza branding that the game was supposed to have.
Between this and the fact that they haven't advertise it much and just let it fade into oblivion makes me think they're not satisfied with the game and don't want to face yet another "MS makes mediocre games" wave of comments now that they're slowly building goodwill and hype with next-gen/Xcloud not too far away
Deus Ex seems like further confirmation that Square is in to the whole game pass idea. Not as big of a deal as say Kingdom Hearts or Final Fantasy, but Square has put some pretty big games in to game pass, even some fairly recent ones with Just Cause 4 and Life is Strange.
Vampyr is also cool. One because I really wanted to play it but haven't bought it yet, and two because it's another Dontnod game on gamepass, Life is Strange could be attributed to Square, and Vampyr was published by Focus Home, but seeing both of those game as at once... Just saying, Dontnods a pretty cool outfit.
That's nuts, what a world. Cuphead is self published though isn't it? Does Microsoft own the IP? I always assumed they just had a timed deal so when Cuphead came to other platforms it would be out of their hands, but it doesn't sound like that's the case.

One of the developers in the other thread about this already said "Stay tuned..." when someone asked about that, so I would assume it would be the case.
It will. Chris Charla posted this blog around the same time (like right after the Cuphead announcement went live)
I am starting to think that Microsoft is very well positioned to get a lot of gamer mindshare at the start of next generation as truly being "for the gamers" when you consider all that they are doing to provide options to play games in multiple ways as opposed to Google with their streaming only option and Sony with their console only option.
Microsoft doesn't own the IP of Cuphead, but just have control over the original title from my understanding (similar deal to Titanfall and Sunset Overdrive). Sounds like MS was perfectly okay with Cuphead going to Switch!
This makes the whole "Xbox One Console Launch Exclusive" on the Delicious Last Course DLC so much more understandable.
I'm all for their streaming efforts but they will have to make sure exclusive content will still be tied to the ecosystem very carefully. Both Cuphead and Halo announcements work with Xbox Live integration so I guess that is their requirement. Still, people will have so much port begging over literally every game Microsoft publishes from now on... I still think Game Pass will be available on Switch but only through the streaming option.
The Xbox Live integration for Cuphead is coming post-launch, so I doubt it's going to be a requirement, just another cool option.
i don't think they are live streaming any of the sessions.
With all the quantic dreams games on Epic, maybe they are open to come to xbox too. Maybe Phil is saving it for E3.
PCGamer said its coming to the Microsoft Store on release as well.
