Xbox announces Developer_Direct for January 18th - Indiana Jones, Avowed, Hellblade II and more

Don’t really see how another interpretation makes sense but fine.

There’s also the Insider Gaming report that it’s this year.

I think everyone is assuming that Shinobi is interpreting the post they’re responding to as

I’m surprised we’re seeing Indy because it’s not coming for a very long time.

Instead of

I’m surprised we’re seeing Indy, it must be coming a lot sooner than expected.

Edit: I’m also not saying I’m right. Honestly, I think I’m most likely wrong. Just that I don’t think it’s a slam dunk like some are treating it.

Dude are you serious ! Obsidian with AAA budget making skyrim like with obsidian style. Goty for me. All i want they upgrade some animation like kicking running casting spells from last trailer

Very similar to Fallout 4. I’d love that!

If you gave the game a fair shot then fair enough.

Do you expect more games than those four?

Wasn’t the game originally meant to release by the end of 2022? It was teased 12th January 2021.

In the context in which the question is asked I don’t think there is any ambiguity.

The question was phrased as ‘It’s surprising we are seeing Indiana Jones already’ to which he replied ‘if you knew when it’s coming out’ (e.g. very soon) ‘not really’ (as in it’s not a surprise they are showing it now if it’s only releasing in a few months).

Also there’s the fact it’s being squeezed in between 3 other 2024 games.

No. I expect four because they said four. If they show more that’s cool, but I don’t expect it because they didn’t say anything about “and more.”

These pseudo insiders like Shinobi have absolutely no idea about the game’s release date, but now that it’s been announced for DD, they’re like “ha ha if you knew”. Insufferable AW. :roll_eyes:

He clearly knew about Blade and other reveals before the TGA’s and both him and Henderson seems confident in a 2024 release that other haven’t commented on, he clearly knows some stuff regardless of insufferable or not

Maybe a fifth unannounced thing like HFR last year, not necessarily a shadow drop though but I’m not going in expecting anything but the announced

Yeah, he’s on the industry, so I wager he’s got some info and rarely BS

It’s also why I’d expect to be vague on things, if he works in the industry he’s not going to want to full on leak stuff

I mean, it isn’t hard to believe that people in the industry or with contacts in the industry hear things from colleagues. Being smug and douchey about it is lame though.

I work in higher education IT. Late last summer the University of Michigan had a huge data breach. I heard about it well before it became public knowledge because I know people all over the IT landscape in the area.

It comes across as smug and self important to me - “if you were in the know like i am you wouldnt be shocked”

If he just wanted to hint at how close the game is then do that - but instead its put in a way that highlights the ignorance of the original poster.

Didn’t everyone know about Blade and was like: Blade and Microsoft? I don’t believe it.

Count me in🙌

Of course some of them know a few things, but their game is to make people believe that they are omniscient, which is far from being the case. There’s a lot of bluffing going on.

I don’t think Shinobi is one of those.
