I would probably buy it so I can get the trophies. :smile:

Won’t lie, don’t really care. But i still gonna hold my comments at bay for the moment, i will only say i remain skeptical until i start to see real benefits for customers on Xbox hardware or ecosystem in general.

Also, heard that GTA 6 might be a 100 dollar game. If that is the case, the game industry is overall cooked unless we see genuine changes for the better.

Not really out if the blue, as Bethesda has said they want to keep supporting Starfield for longer than they did Fallout 4 and Skyrim. I think they wanted to do a yearly dlc, but that can take a really long time. So I think that’s more of an optimistic goal, specially if they’re also launching on ps5 as that would increase the work load even if not by a lot.

Hot take, a Skyrim or even Fallout 4 expansion would be cheaper, more hyped, and make them more money than a Starfield one

I would play these, not gonna lie

I think they don’t want to compete with ESO and FO76. Plus technical complexity / mod breaking risk.

A Skyrim or Fallout 4 expansion? Oh hell yeah, especially the latter because it’s gonna be a looooooong wait until 5. After having finished the show last week I realize I need more Fallout in life.

Let’s be honest : Starfield will release on PS5 at some point. It’s difficult to beat that. Release it alongside a special edition with another expansion kind of DLC and the game could blow up in popularity again.

Probably like “Well, we released Split Fiction with no backlash on just about anything, so it’s fine to leak out bad news.”

Ehhh I’ve seen more than a few weeks where is is more in line with between 2000-4K on the charts. Not a lot - but way more than this report.

Today’s situation, Moore stressed, is different, and while Microsoft continues to make Xbox consoles, he thinks it would stop doing so and focus on games if it could, but that there’s still a public appetite for buying hardware.

“If [Microsoft] had the choice, would they make hardware? No,” he explained. “Would they be delighted if they could be a multi-hundred billion dollar entity delivering content directly to your television, to whatever monitor you choose to play on? You bet.

“You know, the classic Netflix model, you just select – ‘Who’s playing this? 5000 people playing this? I’m going to jump in right now’, no latency, no lag, you’re in, and there doesn’t need to be a box between you and your controller and the TV set. But still, you know, consoles are – as we’ve seen particularly with Nintendo now – people love their hardware.”

Honestly, I’m glad they are still bothering with making hardware, however that last bit? I’d be more than down with that too if it’s 100% like that. I would however add to “no latency, no lag” also “exact same experience as dedicated hardware” otherwise I’m not interested.

I’d suggest you watch the whole video rather than the snippets that are used for headlines.

If Peter Moore was still at Xbox he would be doing the same thing maybe even faster. He made it clear this is a different era and what they did was necessary for that time to get them here. Like he said, “we as an industry then positioned the industry for where it is now”.

I’m surprised nobody is talking about the comment on the podcast today about a third party Xbox handheld next year? That seems exciting
