Xbox Game Studios |OT7| Killer News Here!?

Damn, im now insanely hyped to see the smaller UE5 project coalition is making. I am hard pressed to tell which 2023/2024 xbox game will set a new bar for graphics, Fable, Hellblade 2, Coalition project, or Perfect Dark.

Fwiw, Sony and MS helped too. Coalition had Kate Rayner and Colin Penty help.

According to Xbox Wire, this was their role:

"After seeing the impressive demos that developer The Coalition created this summer, the team was brought onboard to explore how Unreal Engine could maximize the full potential of the Xbox console hardware.

Their help enabled the experience to run at an impressive level of performance and quality not just on the Xbox Series X, but on the Series S as well—proving that next-gen content can be experienced on the full range of today’s consoles, benefiting players and Unreal Engine developers alike."

Cool! I’m just wandering around the city (which is huge!) imagining what the next GTA will be like. It looks even crazier at night.

As impressed visually with Hellblade 2 now, I think we’re gonna be even more impressed with Fable you guys

A honestly weak overall presence. Also they didn’t even acknowledge Tunic or Planet of Lana @CryOn. XD

Makes no sense :confused: they should have so much to show

6 months for another show is gonna be too much. Please something in Q1 2022 :phil_unsure:

LMAO :sob:

A spring show should be a no brainer, considering Sony and Nintendo do have one with much less studios.

its the best looking game right now but i would have loved to see more combat in those 6 minutes , i might still play it if the story is as good as the 1st one but i dont want it to be one of those games where i have to push a button a few times every couple of minutes

Xbox had a fine showing, Hb2,Crossfirex tunic, Planet of lana. Gamepass didn’t impress. They could have showed redfall and Stalker 2 as well. BUT I agree with their startagy save YOUR games for YOUR show Inexile,Starfield,Compulsion,Avowed,Fable,Contraband etc are all for E3 2022. Make a fire e3 show, have a e3 2016 sony moment. That show won the gen for them.

In one sense I’m happy. The game Awards should be about awards, in my opinion, not trailers. I’m a bit of a purist like that.

From that point of view, Xbox did well and the lack of splurging on trailers meant the focus largely stayed on teh games already released.

But giving Geoff one trailer both helps with TGA viewership and allows Xbox to get focus on that one game as well. Hellblade 2 looked amazing and rightly is taking all the plaudits as the best looking new game.

Are we sure of that info or was it fanboys speculations ? If it’s already on GP, why the need for a 3 months exclusivity period ? It’s a really dumb idea and helps no one.

3 months came from a Microsoft document in the Apple v Epic case.

lol not fanboy speculation, it was leaked as part of the Apple Epic case (the same one which said The Gunk was a permanent exclusive for some reason)

Seems like Micosoft might be going for shorter timed exclusive windows in general. 12 minutes came out in August and it hit PS4/PS5 3 days ago.

I would love something like Evil West from The Coalition.

OK, I didn’t know where it was coming from.

Probably buying the game anyway as it’s probably my most anticipated game at the moment.

Is this a Soulslike or something? Looks cool but nothing special, so what would the Coalition be inspired by from it exactly?
