So… is that third rumored project a thing, or is this between Fable and Horizon?

I could see it go either way, but leaning more towards Fable.

This YouTuber claims that Xbox don’t has any chance to acquire SEGA or Konami + Xbox will never success in Japan …

If I were him, I wouldn’t share a near future opinion to judge the future of gaming.

Highly unlikely there is a third project. Those hirings are for Horizon 5 and Fable

Idk I did not read the descriptions for them all. There were definitely a good amount that specified Forza, but the other listings didn’t specify Fable in the title, would have to go back and read some, so maybe I’ll do that tomorrow.

Somehow I didn’t realize that Murder on Eridanos, comes out this Wednesday. People who haven’t played The Outer Worlds yet, and who end up enjoying the game thematically as well as gameplay wise, are going to have such a treat with the full enchilada.

@PhantomFox

Lmao, this XGS thread having “Community OT” in the title keeps on throwing me off and I accidentally posted something unrelated, thinking this was the Community OT.

I’ve done it too.

[NierlyCrazy]

Also a heads up, the deluxe edition of Outer Worlds is on sale for $59.99 (or your regional equivalent) right now. I’m probably going to finally pick it up (loved the main game).

they can do both it just to slow sometimes but people don’t see that when it is apart of xbox and then there fanboy lenses is on saying they have no games or that we still have to wait for our bangers to come. That is why Microsoft acquires studios and publishers too because it is easier to buy an already established team than it is to make one.

I started the previous DLC today, just bought he season pass on a sale. It starts, asks me if I want to go where I need to be to play DLC. Then it loads in and I’m outside spaceship falling through space. That’s not right is it?

[javycane (Javier Ruiz)]

Xbox back at it. 2 xbox wire posts in back to back hours.

It’s not even they can do both it’s they are doing both but people don’t look into what studios are hiring they just see the big headlines Xbox buys X publisher and think oh big bad Microsoft buying everyone up grrr. There’s like 700 open positions across all the teams I think it is so they are boosting teams and even building new studios for more teams within the studios, while buying more.

MS is expanding in every dimension and I honestly think it’s got people spooked. I know people joke around about the warchest but it’s clear as day they have the bank card of the big MS bank now. Why have your billions sitting in a bank doing nothing when you can grow a product/service that hooks into almost all your services, which then would make those grow too.

People think too short and on the top level surface but when you dig in a little and look further out, you’re like shit I can see where they’re heading.

Once Xbox releases a 90+ big AAA game that’s like God of War then and only then the mass people and non Xbox fans will start to take Xbox seriously, because for some reason buying Bethesda for 7.5B wasn’t enough.

What if you don’t like or care for a god of War style games and only like the Horizon and Ratchet style games Sony has released and wonder when they’ll actually do something different than spam 3rd party action adventure?

[Knottian (Daniel)]

@BadNews

Is Fallout 76 worth a try?

Wholeheartedly yes. Since the Wastelanders update released, I’ve put in probably 100 hours or so (and I shuffle through a lot of games). It’s still got some issues but it’s now got some incredible lore, pretty good questlines, tons of things to do, and one of the best maps of any Bethesda game IMO.

I mostly mean quality or mass appeal that the critics would love, because apparently MS doesn’t make those games right now. I don’t want them to copy Sony but the mass people in the gaming audience/media won’t acknowledge a game that’s 90+ AAA 3rd person story driven game sadly.

Halo Infinite could get a 95 meta but because it’s a FPS game it won’t be viewed as good as a 95 meta cinematic story driven 3rd person game.

I don’t agree with that, look at how Nintendo games are viewed. I could agree they are biased against Microsoft and wouldn’t even view a game better than GOW even if it is, but it’s not because of the style of game, it’s pure media bias.

I think it’s both, Forza Horizon continues to be the best racing game out there and has yet to be nominated once for GOTY yet scoring very highly across almost all review sites. Certain games no matter the score will never be seen as worth of GOTY even if it should’ve at least been nominated. Ori getting snubbed too would go along the lines of both, how did Hades get nominated but Ori didnt.
