Xbox Game Studios |OT9| How many games would a game studio make if a game studio could make games?

But assuming this happens, it would mean Todd was giving a game a release date written in ink for 1.5 years after him saying it, but eventually it would turn out to have still been 2.5 away from launch. Come on now. For that to happen something really needs to have gone wrong or something.

I’m over the delay news but this would more than suck. But I’m not going to stress any further about it, no use, no point.

It was probably Bethesda-ready for release 11.11.22… but not Xbox-ready so to speak. I’m glad Xbox is not too hands off after all.

Haha, it seems like you have a habit of going through the emotions over hypotheticals

@KakkaKarrotKake

I mean, so what? What matters is how the game turns out

Id rather the game taking far longer to come out, Todd being wrong on his projections but the game being as amazing as possible than it hitting 11/11/22, Todd being correct and it being a glitchy mess with a bunch of content needing to be cut to get it out in time

I get that, but fuck man, the delay still stings, I just really hope March or June at the latest we can visit space.

That definitely seems to be the case. Personally I would be OK with it if it would launch in the same state as Fallout 4 did. But completely personally speaking here because I had very few issues, if at all for the first hours. I realize it wasn’t like that for everyone.

@pg2g

Yeah, that’s true. I get worked up too much, especially when it’s something I truly care about a lot. BGS projects just hit different for me, when they announce and drop a new game it’s not a new game release for me, not just that, that first day of release it’s an event for me.

Fallout 76.

I agree though that this sucks ass, I love Bethesda games and like you a release is like an event. I had a week vacation booked from 11.11.22 ffs. I don’t give af when it releases now, take whatever time is needed so that it is at least a smooth launch and a great game. I won’t care until it goes gold.

True that.

I expect a great deep dive and that we’re all going to be very impressed. I’ll keep some faith that first half happens, but also take into account that it can always be delayed again and there’s nothing we can do about it. So I shall not worry about that from here on out.

Yeah it’s for the best, I’m not very hyped about a deep dive when so much can change until release, it can be a year away, or more. I’ll take a cool trailer, and then it’s back to the backlog and wait.

Yeah true that. If the game was still a lock for this year not a whole lot would be different. I mean the Fallout 4 deep dive showed stuff and the final game had it all. But who knows now with it still so far away. Apparently they have tons of content, so stuff likely will be cut too.

Same as you, not hyped for the deep dive, but looking forward to just seeing the game in action, what it’s about, those new systems they talked about, the ingame graphics, animations, etc.

I imagine what they show will be stuff thats baically locked in and ready to go, a vertical slice like Hellblade 2’s trailer at the game awards

That game is probably well over a year away but what we were shown is something that will be pretty much identical when we finally play it

…Been seeing this image circulate around on Twitter, if only half make it in 2022 I’m sure it will be great!

Missing a game pass banner on Plague Tale but yeah there’s quite a few games people forgot about

I would hope Deathloop and Grounded are on GamePass too

Maybe, maybe not. 11.11.22 was locked in too

Whatever we see, I’ll take it as a trailer or something, it’ll be fine.

Wonder why Plague tale doesn’t have Gamepass banner on it

Most of the games are already announced for Gamepass entry

They missed/forgot. It’s a fan account.

[No-1HoloLens-Fan]

How about Starfield open beta on 11.11.22 ?

Open beta could be a possibility by that time… Unless idea of beta is not popular with BGS ?

Virtually no one does open beta for single player games.

Fair… But what was that Elden Ring thing then? I remember there was some sort of network test? What was that about?

And are we sure that Starfield won’t have any kind of online engagement stuff in it that could require a network test like Elden Ring?

Yeah. That game has online stuff though.

Nah. At most the mods but that shouldn’t require a beta lol

…’s a possibility for Obsidian to make a spiritual successor to New Vegas, they will. Man I hope so, I already miss Fallout games, proper ones with actual VATS. Letting that franchise lie dormant until somewhere in the 2030s would not be good. Grubb says he thinks MS will have a lot of gameplay for games that already have been announced, for like Avowed, maybe even Perfect Dark. They have to pull out all the stops. But it does seem he’s not basing this on what he’s heard from sources. Also speculates that these games (Redfall, Starfield) are probably gonna come out in the first quarter, before the end of the fiscal year for MS. Says it’s not like we’ll be waiting a whole year for at least one of these games. It seems he’s a bit doubtful about both releasing in the first half. Yeah, we’ll see.

hope hes right on the gameplay. Xbox needs to show a shitload of it in the upcoming show

[Resist]

deep dives of redfall and starfield are already confirmed.

[ShinMegamiTenseiX]

@Hue

Can they even show Deathloop if its still under exclusivity contract? We obviously know its coming but not sure MS can even show that. And they shouldnt either. Because thats kind of embarassing showcasing what is right now a ps5 console exclusive. Deathloop should be one of those games they show a week before its due out and then go hard on the gamepass promotion then.

@Resist

Thats fine but the delays have made the hype die down a bit. This showcase has gone from a huge hypefest of showcases to now MS trying to save thesmelves for the year.
