Bigger points in my view were seeing Tokyo as a strong X0 possibility, wishing to see the rest of the yakuza series on xbox, next box being released WW inc Japan day 1 (killed xbox one there by being 1 year late), saying game pass is helping with convincing jp devs. Lots of talk about how xbox fans are super into jp games and keep asking him for more and he knows jp devs and games are quality and he needs to keep working hard to get more.
What we know about Everwild
Pre-production, few years away
50 Developer team, looking to grow. 20 jobs are open now.
Adventure that will be a new way to play
Inspired by Zelda Breath of the Wild (Note the climbing in the trailer)
Has god Like Elements
Studio Lead is Lois O'Connor most Known for Conker's Bad Fur Day
Viva Pinatas Art Director
Rumored to have an online component though that could be countless different things
Sounds great on paper, and the world looks fantastic.

if next X0 in Japan and More JPs games coming to Game pass and FH 5 setting in Japan that maybe will help the Brand there a lot...
and the console coming late and and NOT Localized (like the PS4) in my Country too kill the popularity here too after as strong gen with 360
I agree, but the way he worded it I can't see it next year.
it's part of the several cities they have listed ''to be close to the fans'' that can't attend E3 he says. Still they are considering it which is nice to know.

"Phil Spencer: Gears 5 sold well for us. It sold better than Gears 4. And we feel good about it. "

Boom.
very interesting, i would have thought that GP would have taken most of the sales.
But there are so many gems in the article! =) he even says all digital s is doing well
I agree they've got to have some secret games in the works. Right now these are the games I could think of that they're working on with external devs.
- Ori and the Will of the Wisps (Moon)
- Battletoads (Dlala)
- Microsoft Flight Simulator (Asobo)
- Crossfire X (Smilegate+Remedy)
- Tell Me Why (DONTNOD)
There will be more than Ori there according to Greenberg

I'm confident they have a Triple A game or two by an independent developer for next gen.
Yeah, makes sense. Phil said at Inside Xbox @ X019 that they have a couple more games to show by the end of 2019 before jumping into Scarlett stuff next year. TGAs is last event of 2019. I wonder if the second game will be Ninja Theory's new single player IP since Phil said going forward there won't be any major gaming event where they don't announce a new game from XGS.
Based off that quote, I'm going to say The Game Awards 2019 is Ninja Theory's game and E3 2020 is Fable.
Also, I think it's safe to assume XGS has way over 20 teams now. Saw an interview earlier where Obsidian said in addition to Grounded and post-support for The Outer Worlds, there are many more projects in development at the studio (so they have at least 4 teams, maybe even 5).
Combine this with the fact that Ninja Theory has "several games" other than Bleeding Edge in development, inXile has more games than Wasteland Remastered and Wasteland 3 in development, Double Fine has many games in development, etc.
We could potentially even be at 25+ teams by now based on what we know. That isn't even including XGSP (DontNod's Tell Me Why, Asobo's Microsoft Flight Simulator, Relic's Age of Empire IV).

Yeah and that bit about single player games and Game Pass. Rather awesome :)
In the new Ori 2 thread someone posted this about Halo Infinite, is this even true? I was so happy the "negative" news had halted. Where is this from?
All is going so well with XBOX. Many new studios, new IP, the right mindset for next gen, Gears 5 did great, and yet their flagship franchise would be in trouble?

Liam from Eurogamer heard from a source that 343 Industries and Microsoft are having disagreements about how Halo Infinite should be monetized basically.
We've heard things from Brad Sams before too about Microsoft not being sure if they want to split the single player and multiplayer into separate games or merge them together in one package, etc.
Goddamn, all that monetization nonsense, all I want is a goddamned awesome campaign that truly puts Halo back on the map again. And of course a packed MP mode.
I wonder if they were to be seperate games, would they charge full price for each game or.... and why all of a sudden this change? All Halo games came with both SP and MP, except Halo 1. Even if all this is true, could it truly be so bad that more folk at 343 might want to leave?
Fuck man, just let Infinite be great. Give me a superb campaign and they can seperately price the SP and MP for all I care. It's day one Game Pass anyway, too.
So this is also what is meant with direction, or is that about campaign?
The monetization stuff is the fun part. I love hearing how companies are going to nickel and dime me for all I'm worth
Well but the kids are always on screen, even if they looks playing a different role, maybe they are the apprentices of the woman?
It's gears tactics AFAIK
MSFT couldn't order them to obey?
Even though I can't stand the halo community so the monetization of the game is a thing I'm hyped about
Anybody fancy making this thread?
I know there is a lot of people on Era that won't believe that.

What a great way to start your Friday night off.
The things I would do to hear that in a new game.

Yeah, not good at all.
When it finally comes out next year (assuming this is still the case) it will have been in development for a long ass time. For that reason alone I really expected things to be going well, 343 turning things around, giving us their new vision of Halo. When two people left 343 we were more or less told not to worry, really what else can a company do, right? But I'm not so sure now. Goddamn it.
