Microsoft reiterates Crackdown is a pillar franchise for Xbox… when it’ll get its own studio? and who will be in charge?

@Ruthwik_Rao

What do you guys think could be a welcome surprise at the TGAs from Xbox?

Like we all know most of us want The Initiatives game to be revealed there, but what’s a surprise you would like to see?

Mine would be Compulsion’s game getting revealed. When asked about his thoughts on first party studios and their WIPs, Phil said their game was the one he was the most excited for, which is crazy to hear, their game or the studio itself wasn’t mentioned anywhere and he brought it up unprompted, so I’m definitely intrigued to know what it is. And my suspicion is it might get a small teaser at the TGAs

Pie in the sky? Ink dries early on Zenimax. Starfield revealed.

Realistic pleasant surprise?

A glimpse at the next game from Compulsion or a gameplay trailer for Avowed or Fable.

What I expect: At least 2 of the following

Psychonauts 2 trailer and date

Outer Worlds DLC 2

MSFS dated for Console

Initiative Trailer

Hellblade 2 trailer

Hellblade 2 gameplay

Tell Me Why Season 2 revealed

@uouit_iyyur

a last xbox conference this year do you think ?

No way, I’d just expect 1 or 2 peaks at TGA

It is by no means a pillar IP for the Xbox. I think if they want to bet on the mistake again and get CD4, Sumo Digital is there… they can make a contract with them again.

XboxEra Community Survey - Xbox Game Studios

Hey everyone! The Xbox Series X|S generation is underway, and the most exciting thing about this upcoming generation is the promise of Xbox Game Studios. We at XboxEra are interested in hearing what the community thinks about the upcoming slate of games coming from XGS. We are proposing a few questions based around Xbox Games Studios and the Xbox first party output. For reference, Xbox has 23 First Party Studios. [u6ttsklr6lo51] Please answer these questions carefully and follow instructio…

A friendly reminder to please take this quick survey if you haven’t already. We are working very hard on this and would like to get as much feedback as possible.

Hmm I personally think Starfield shall only be revealed after the acquisition is done, so early to mid 2021. My reasoning being them announcing it would be weird without also announcing the platforms it’s coming on, and that cannot be done self admittedly until the deal passes through. (edit: realized that’s exactly what you meant by ink dries early lol pardon this bit, but yah probably not happening until March)

I don’t think we’re getting Avowed or fable gameplay, but I’d be the most ecstatic if either of them do show up.

Psychonauts 2 will probably be shown, but not dated. Again, bring me the surprise.

TOW dlc 2, hmm possible.

MSFS dated for console definitely believable, Q3 2021 my guess.

Initiative trailer, yes, most anticipated. Would be a bummer if we won’t see this.

Another Hellblade 2 trailer following with a gameplay snippet would be honestly all we could ask for from xbox at the show so definitely hinging on that, and these rumors about a trailer being ready to show on top of Ninja Theory teasing a Ninja Christmas is adding up to a proper reveal

Tell me why season 2 this soon?

Xbox solution for DLSS is going to make the value of series S ridiculous. Machine learning the future of gaming.

[thiagosilva (thiagoツ)]

@Staffy

The latter we have with ACV now. But I’m guessing it means we can expect even more visuals bells and whistles, maybe 4K textures and such?

DLSS is basically even better than native 4K, right?

https://twitter.com/Colteastwood/status/1332756435420246021?s=20 I think it will be good.

@Louay

Maybe but we are here talking about AMD they are still behind Nvidia, So hopefully it’s really great out of the gate.

Yes, Im talking about AMD. AMD RDNA 2, Xbox Series and RX6000 Series chips. DirectML is DLSS from MS basically.

[Staffy]

@Ruthwik_Rao

Yes, DLSS will make the game not only play better framerates but also make it look better than it would at that native resolution.

That’s nuts! Hopefully devs start to utilize that option real soon, oh man.

I think Tell Me Why season 2 is within the realm of possibility given the first season was about half the length of a Life is Strange one.

I wonder if we’re going to see games using DirectML from third party titles next year and probably from the first party games hopefully right away?

Ideal would be if RDNA2 features start being used much sooner than we expect.

@Opatschi

Yes and no. Recent examples Control, Shadow of the Tomb Raider. Did not well. Clearly the game is more important than the genre. Some games became a hit and some not.

You can say this about any genre. It’s still important for XGS to have as wide genre coverage as possible. Need to fill in the gaps with publishing deals and additional acquisitions. Platformers, JRPGs, “Sony games,” etc.

[Ruthwik_Rao]

@Staffy

Yeaaah! It’s the ONLY way consoles shall see 60fps with raytracing at high resolutions.

Tbh even on pc, only until recently you could not do native 4k 60 with RT even on the highest end, that’s where DLSS had to be created, it goes hand in hand with RTX. Now a baseline RTX card like 2060 can run Death Stranding at 4k60 because of DLSS, a card barely meant for 1440p doing not just RT at 60 but also 4K. So I’d expect the console to bring similar results. But realistically, I think 1440p 60 with raytracing on Series X and ideally 108060 on Series S.

My only question is if the dev prioritises dynamic resolution, whether supersampling could work with that.

Microsoft reiterates Crackdown is a pillar franchise for Xbox… when it’ll get its own studio? and who will be in charge?

Microsoft is sometimes a very strange company. It abandons popular and beloved IPs and invests in others which wouldn’t be missed by many. Just let that IP die and move on.

Microsoft on Crackdown 3 delay: We want it to ‘sit next to Halo, Gears’

All right it was before the release… BUT, I doubt that Matt or any Xbox executive “praises” this game again these days.

[Ironfistchinmi]

@thiagosilva

Yeah, that’s old and before it released. I’d love a new one myself, but I don’t think we can go by that old quote as proof that Xbox will back the franchise.

[jfsolo]

Did anyone actually believe that statement about Crackdown to anything but a throwaway PR line?
