You all know things can rapidly change for Xbox? we should all be used to this.

two years ago back in 2019 I would’ve said Microsoft’s plan was to use Mixer as one of their main gateways to Xbox Game Streaming, along with using Ninja as a way to push Halo Infinite for the Xbox Series X launch…CLEARLY I was wrong on that.

I would’ve said that Microsoft was fine with just Xbox Game Studios…but its quite clear to me now that the 15 studios they used to have weren’t enough looking back. Without Bethesda I think the wait would’ve been unbearable for new first party games.

Bethesda will be critical (as Phil said) for Xbox, Starfield will be the first strategical big exclusive snatched away from PS, a very big deal.

Mixer was dead even when Microsoft got it

Until it’s officially confirmed by more than Skullzi take it with a grain of salt

Makes no sense to have discussions on a forum? Not all discussion has to be positive to the point that its propaganda and neither constant negative whining.

Some people brought up valid discussions and thats it. To dismiss it as whining is childish.

A discussion on hypothetcial made up ‘facts’ makes no sense and leads to absolutely nothing. Hundreds of posts later and what did it accomplish? Nobody gained any understanding or knowledge, it created only drama without any results.

Well to be fair, this is 90% of discussions here.

“Here’s some vague shit that will likely get some of you agitated. I can’t confirm that it actually is true but fuck it, I’ll tell you all anyway trolololol…”

See this is one of the reasons why I don’t like these “insiders” & don’t pay any attention to their garbage.

Maybe we should tone the drama down a little bit? I saw hundreds of new posts and thought something interesting had happend…

Yeah, but judging a show 1 month earlier imo is too much even in a forum. XD

This is normal as well, last time this happened to me was about that halo infinite ex dev saying mostly what we already knew about.

It happens, nothing to really worry about.

I’m all for pushing the games only when they are ready, but honestly is baffling of much more oiled PS organisation was even in a pandemic world, it only shows for how many years MS underfunded Xbox, so many to condition release schedule years and years after. This is my real complain.

Things didn’t change for xbox until late 2017/early 2018. Acquisitions didn’t happen until later and when games take 3-4+ years. It’s really no surprise what their current schedule looks like. Theoretically they could have delayed some games to bolster this year’s line up but that wouldn’t have been the right move.

Between these new studios, teams expanding, and re-adjusting their plans after their resources have grown exponentially, it will take time for us to see the fruits of all that labor.

@KageMaru

it will take time

Give me some Todd hype.

… Yeah, I know I was over simplifying a complex issue and that perceptions in the media does matter when it comes to mindshare and momentum. But, I don’t really have any doubt that those things will shift in Xbox’s favor when the games start releasing. Just look at the way things have shifted already without the games. My previous point was meant to be this: Don’t worry about these things because of how it will affect other people’s perceptions, but rather how it will affect you and your perceptions. Wanting Xbox to kick it up a gear is cool if that’s what you want, but wanting them to kick it up a gear so other people will stop spreading narratives is just a waste of time to me. This is just how I feel about it, so sorry if I sound like I’m preaching.

My thoughts after playing some good amount of Psychonauts:

This looks ancient, why would anybody play this?

Just kidding. It’s really good for its age. I’m loving it so far. Funny game that is so creative and holds up really well in terms of movement and camera.

[IdiotGuru (Justin)]

Serious question: Is there a realistic Xbox gaming Discord community out there? I love speculating but the emotional tirades by some folks are wearing thin on me. Haha

I played the Milkman level again this weekend for the first time in a decade and it really struck me how absurdly creative this game was at the time. It really stood out back then and reminded me now why it’s still one of my all-time favorite gaming experiences.

Can’t say I’m a fan of the consistent doom and gloom over unconfirmed rumors. It’s happening every goddamn week now. There’s a reason I’ve been less active on this forum. I came here to talk about games, arguing about these possibilities is tiring.

Well, once the games arrive, these conversations will probably seem extremely silly. They’ll be shown once they’re ready. Does anyone want another Halo: Infinite gameplay situation?

Yeah the doom and gloom sucks but this place is waaay more than that. I really am thankful for this forum and the people that make it great.

I just wish a lot of this discussion had taken place in the E3 predictions thread.

Agreed. Let’s reset this thread.

Excluding second party deals, I’ve got to imagine that there are at least 10 XGS games in development that will be my type of game. As stoked as I am for Psychonauts 2, I can’t wait to see what Tim and Double Fine do with a brand new concept and significantly increased resources.
