what did they said?What's so wrong about cartoonish looking games? or anime looking games for that matter.
I like them the best, most of the time.

MS is not with studio acquisitions
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...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.

well that really good to hearI 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.
This is a really great interview with Phil Spencer with tons of great quotes, a must read for Xbox fans IMO - https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2019-11-15-the-big-xo19-interview-xbox-boss-phil-spencer
What I'll say for us - and I'm trying to figure out how much I want to dive into this because it could get messy - giving developers a business model that's already working at scale inside of a subscription - and I think there's some confusion out there whether Game Pass works. Game Pass works as a business model. There's no doubt about that. Even today. It works. It works incredibly well - allows us to go and invest in the studio acquisitions we've done and the quality of content we're building over the next two or three years that's gonna show up. It's an integral part of the business model that allows that. And we also do retail.
I think those games can be and will be very special. I think Gears 5 can be a game of the year award winner. I think Outer Worlds can be a game of the year award winner. The fact it shipped inside of Game Pass and found more players does not take away from the experience. In fact it's more inviting to more people.
Found itWe dont know, but we know that Gears 4 was at 3rd place in its NPD debut month, Gears 5 was at 7, we know that Gears 5 has been bad at player retention (i dont think that it will do such good numbers as Forza Horizon 4, you know, 12 million players in one year, 4 million monthly active players) Gears 4 had 8 million players before it was put into Game Pass (dont remember where i read this)
Forza Horizon 4 Will still be the Top dog for Microsoft until Halo Infinite arrives.

The big XO19 interview: Xbox boss Phil Spencer on Game Pass, streaming and Project Scarlett
At Microsoft's big XO19 event in London yesterday, Xbox boss Phil Spencer told the gathered press all about Game Pass, …www.eurogamer.net
"Phil Spencer: Gears 5 sold well for us. It sold better than Gears 4. And we feel good about it. "
Even Eurogamer can't spell X019 correctly.
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.What i'm really curious going forward is what the publishing team is doing. Matt talked about that in X019 briefly and i hope they step up their game a bit.

I'm confident they have a Triple A game or two by an independent developer for next gen.What i'm really curious going forward is what the publishing team is doing. Matt talked about that in X019 briefly and i hope they step up their game a bit.
Doubt we will see anything on Infinite till E3 2020
Yeah and that bit about single player games and Game Pass. Rather awesome :)But there are so many gems in the article! =) he even says all digital s is doing well
Eh I'm not sure. I posted what Liam Robertson said in his podcast now he heard Halo Infinite is in pretty big shit right now and there's tension between Microsoft and 343i. He was saying he heard more people are planning on leaving 343 and the games direction is being second guessed he heard last month.
So, idk. I think there could be issues and we won't see it until E3.
Liam from Eurogamer heard from a source that 343 Industries and Microsoft are having disagreements about how Halo Infinite should be monetized basically.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.
The monetization stuff is the fun part. I love hearing how companies are going to nickel and dime me for all I'm worthGoddamn, 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.
Well but the kids are always on screen, even if they looks playing a different role, maybe they are the apprentices of the woman?Couldn't that also mean there are multiple characters to choose from? I don't see how we can be certain either way.
It's gears tactics AFAIK
MSFT couldn't order them to obey?Liam from Eurogamer heard from a source that 343 Industries and Microsoft are having disagreements about how Halo Infinite should be monetized basically.

Xbox Game Pass is an antidote to everything needing to be a live service game, Phil Spencer says
One of the things I was watching over the last few years is you saw many games and studios chasing service-based games that felt perpetual and felt like they had to last forever to recoup the investment big publishers and studios were making.
The nice thing about Game Pass is that it wraps a game inside of a service itself. So a game can just be a game, and it's nice to play games with a beginning, middle and end.
What we know about Everwild

50 Developer team, looking to grow. 20 jobs are open now.
Adventure that will be a new way to play

Has god Like Elements
Studio Lead is Lois O'Connor most Known for Conker's Bad Fur Day

Rumored to have an online component though that could be countless different things
Sounds great on paper, and the world looks fantastic.
The monetization stuff is the fun part. I love hearing how companies are going to nickel and dime me for all I'm worth
you heard the podcast?Also if Eurogamer's Liam is correct about Microsoft and 343 Industries having disagreement about monetization of Halo Infinite, does that mean that REQ Packs from Halo 5 will be gone? I thought that was a very smart way to monetize Halo.
It's absolutely incredible when you think how much is in 2020 and what is still to come in 2021 and beyond. They have done a great job laying the ground for their studios and services in 2018 and 2019 for this.
