XboxEra Community Hangout |OT| Safe Space no longer required (Part 1)

There is also an orange controler… maybe Tails from Sonic ? :grinning:

Sorry it was in the Sept 2020 pic.

Somebody go through the image like it was a page of Highlights For Kids magazine and circle what doesn’t match.

That’s why I think the only way that Forza Horizon 5, Wolfenstein 3 or Starfield release late 2021 is:

  • either these were planned as 2020 releases before COVID (which is possible as Bethesda games and Forza Horizon games are revealed very shortly before release)
  • or planned to release during the first half of 2021 before COVID

SEGA recently revealed that their release slate for the current fiscal year (ending March 31) was cut by almost half because of COVID (and I read that it will be worse for 2021 games than 2020 games in general because 2020 games were mostly in the polishing stages).

Almost half of Sega’s expected game releases have slipped from the current fiscal year, due to disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

In an investor Q&A following its third quarter financial results, the firm was asked to explain the sharp decline in the number of games expected to launch before March 31, 2021.

In August 2020, that number was 30, and that fell to 22 in November. It now sits at 18 new products for the fiscal year.

Between launch and June 2021, PlayStation 5 has had or will have Demon’s Souls, Marvel’s Spider Man: Miles Morales, Sackboy, Returnal and Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart. In the same time frame for Xbox Series X/S, it’s only Gears Tactics. I’m not including timed console exclusives on either side because it’s artificial padding since they would be released on the other console anyway.

Thus far, it’s 5 to 1 and including Halo Infinite, it becomes 5 to 2. Microsoft would have to release Forza Horizon 5, Wolfenstein III and Starfield just to even it out and I simply don’t see that happening whatsoever.

Plus, I see Ratchet getting delayed to September to replace Horizon II: Forbidden West but more importantly to get out of the way of FF7R (PS5) that releases the day before. SMH.

Every company misleads/lies and have done so for decades. I find it hilarious when people believe that they don’t or can’t. LMAO.

For me personally, it’s going to be tied at 2 each. Miles and Ratchet for PS5. Gears Tactics and Halo Infinite for XSX.

I wasn’t being literal.

:joy:Just joining in on the fun

Just 2021 in my list only Peter.

It’s Returnal and Ratchet cause I dont see HZD or GoW making it right now.

Oh, okay. You said the year one lineup so that’s why I posted the launch titles. God of War Ragnarok has literally no chance in hell of releasing this year. I believe that Horizon II: Forbidden West is the same. My guess is when they show a long gameplay trailer, that’s when they say delayed to 2022. This way, majority won’t care since they’ll probably be satisfied with the gameplay trailer.
