Xbox Game Studios |OT5| DOOM posting not allowed. Except for posting about DOOM

I think there will be one game announced in particular which people could guess is in development, but the announce timing is still surprising (makes sense though, but more on that after the show).

Outer Worlds 2?

The game that immediately came to my mind as well as soon as he shot down Wolfenstein 3.

That would be indeed something surprising at this point. Especially that we expect Obsidian’s AAA game Avowed now for at least some gameplay trailer.

I don’t know how dev teams structure look like at this studio, but if if I understand correctly there is a separate team for The Outer Worlds sequel and there was a separate and much smaller team for DLCs to The Outer Worlds which were co-directed by different people than Boyarsky × Cain duo.

On the other hand… Wouldn’t it be that again an announcement of another game a few years before its release? Especially what we’ve got last year at Xbox Games Showcase and with original game announced just 10 months before debut.

Fallout would be my call, I think it’s more in the lines of MS will announce thier plans for the series. What they intend to do etc.

Edit. My theory on what Klob is talking about

That would be weird, I hope it’s not the case.

To be honest It’s not surprising at all.

This game had terrible marketing. Actually it didn’t exist. Announcement at X019. After that most of the people forget about that and even didn’t pay attention it was announced at London’s event. They showed us that again at Xbox Games Showcase with release date of episode 1 and again. Nothing more. We’ve just got some gameplay teaser at some LGBT’s digital event for just a few people. It wasn’t something mainstreamish at all. We’ve got some interviews, etc., but again – Tell My Why had trace visibility.

Reception was quiet good, but there are also some opinions like one of the worst DONTИOD’s titles, some of mechanics and gameplay aspects are worse than Life is Strange and decisions don’t matter at all. All-time peak at Steam was just 1,333 players and it was on episode 3 debiut, not after giving episode 1 for free. Even with receiving some single awards/nominations it didn’t get through to more players.

It won’t be remembered very well. And since we are at remembering. There are still lot of people which would like to play the sequel for Remember Me, their first game developed for CAPCOM, after nearly 10 years.

It was a very, very odd period for Xbox. We had Bleeding Edge, Grounded, Tell Me Why, Wasteland 3, Gears Tactics, Flight Simulator and Battletoads almost back to back, and almost all of them fell down an obscurity pit.

They are so ofter forgotten that we still see that narrative that Xbox haven’t released an exclusive title since Gears 5 on some toxic communities.

Great guess!

It’s like they just wanted to release these games to get rid of them. So that we could go back to waiting and waiting in the desert of emptiness. :wink: Very strange.

The only Fallout we will see is something 76 related. I wouldn’t expect any next gen fallout for a couple of years or any announcement of any kind. Just let the hype build up naturally.

I want Bethesda to expand so it’s not just Maryland calling the shots and their two support studios helping. If that continues there will be a 10 year gap between each entry in a series.

Its business as well, Fallout is a huge $1bn dollar IP that MS will want to see in thier ecosystem sooner then later.

I think we hear of their plans soon, with regards as to who is making the game.

I think a lot of the low output has been due to retooling of the engine. I think after Starfield the gap will be shorter.

Probably, I think TES6 is a 2024 game

We dont wanna overshadow rpg franchises or make early announcements but It will be fine to just say “hey fallout is on a sticky board”? Thats not how Xbox nor BGS have operated.
