Yeah, maybe we do have to keep in mind that this is very likely Obsidian’s biggest game ever as well. I mean with New Vegas they had the whole engine, tool set and so on from BGS and the Pillars games scope wise weren’t compareable to Avowed. It’s likely going to take longer than usual, even more so for obvious reasons.
But no earlier than E3 2023 like Hindle thinks, naw.
Personally I think if Starfield had been 100% ready, Todd telling Phil that he really wants to launch it…no matter if that was close to Halo or not, it would have happened. Don’t forget it could have been a September, October or December release, still a month between Halo.
Besides many already believed in 2022, but it’s the Q4 2022 that we didn’t see coming.
By this logic Xbox will release one RPG a year, so no this doesn’t make any sense in the slightest. The way you’re thinking about this doesn’t add up to common sense.
It’s probably a bit early for them to drop multiple games in a single month they will need a release schedule for the entire year, probably not a smart idea to have a backend loaded year or frontend loaded. Obviously, over time this will be less important because their studios will be up and running but now they’re in a weird spot.
We can at least expect maybe 2-3 1st exclusives a year for the next 2-3 years with it increasing over time, we’ll get more and more once all the teams start pumping out games.
What does that have to do with your statement saying that Microsoft wont release multiple games of the same genre in the same year? If Microsoft can launch 2 big rpg’s in the same year its a massive boost for game pass and subscribers.
Sadly it is definitely possible. While a reveal at E3 next year seems very likely, a late 2023 release isn’t out of the realm of possibility sadly. Look at Starfield now, if Jason is right we get a proper reveal 1.5 years before release. It’s possible that’s how it will be for Avowed too.
But boy do I want to be wrong. Don’t want to set myself up for disappointments, but at this E3 would be sweetness! Really though, as cool as it would be to have them both next year, do we really need it when we’re all busy roaming space? Q1 2023 wouldn’t be too bad at all.
haha yeah, look I’m just being realistc and I think as much as people might not like this Forza Horizon 5 and Halo Infinite has this year on lock for sure anything more is icing on the cake. I feel like they want to focus more on gameplay this time and try avoid too much CGI.
By going on what I did say hearing about E3 this year, if they were using the same logic last year we might see Avowed gameplay since they showed a CGI trailer 12 months ago. Thinking about it now @Staffy could be onto it maybe they show a gameplay trailer this year and launch in June next year with Starfield holding November 2022.
I know it might seem like I’m flip flopping haha but I’m just trying to not get too excited and expect too much in case it doesn’t show.
That would be a dream come true. But I don’t think Avowed is that far along. Wasn’t it said to be the scope of like a TES game? And also that dsmned covid, it has set back many projects.
