Let's play a game. Let's rank. Hype-O-Meter Xbox/Bethesda Edition

Hope I’ve got 'm all. These are the currently unreleased Xbox Game Studios/Bethesda Softworks games. I expect this is the highest number of announced unreleased games for Microsoft we’ll see in a while with a bunch of them releasing the next few months.

Now, it’s time to rank these 22 games on the Hype-O-Meter. Number 1 gets 22 points, number 22 gets 1 point. At the end of the road we’ll know XboxEra’s Hype Rankings. Or something.

Here are the games, good luck with reorganizing this list. And remember, it’s about personal hype.

  1. Age of Empires IV
  2. As Dusk Falls
  3. Avowed
  4. Contraband
  5. Deathloop
  6. Everwild
  7. Fable
  8. Forza Horizon 5
  9. Forza Motorsport
  10. GhostWire Tokyo
  11. Grounded
  12. Halo Infinite
  13. Hellblade II: Senua’s Saga
  14. Indiana Jones
  15. Perfect Dark
  16. Project Mara
  17. Psychonauts 2
  18. Redfall
  19. Starfield
  20. State of Decay 3
  21. The Elder Scrolls VI
  22. The Outer Worlds 2

Folks who don’t do a full numbered list mess up the calculations.

If its PC gaming its at the bottom. Those are the rules (mine).

It’ll be interesting to see how this shakes out.

It’ll be interesting to see who has terrible taste & puts Starfield at the bottom of their list :stuck_out_tongue:

Some considerations:

It’s really hard to measure hype for stuff we have barely seen, it is much easier to compare hype for multiple games that are closer to us.

Even if a game is down in the list I’m most likely still gonna play it because of Game Pass.

Age of Empires IV is way down in the list because it has no console version, otherwise it’d be way higher.
