The word soon in there makes me think they wont show anything comming after 2023. mite focus on closer stuff, starfield redfall avowed hellblade. we will see
I know itâs not gaming but it is quite amusing to see haters getting wrong, let alone on Microsoft. I get it, itâs not the perfect company, but there are moments where they gets done right and this is one of them. I have one and love it. Planning to get a new one possibly this year.
Partly what I expect too. I think grand focus will be on late this year and 2023 games. Redfall, Starfield, Forza Motorsport, Avowed, Contraband, I expect gameplay showcases and trailers. Personally donât think Hellblade though, I think itâs early 2024 game.
They always focus games within two years and CGI for future/announced games.
Yeah, not at all surprised really because they have so many existing projects coming within the next year and a half that they need to talk about.
WaitâŠdid I miss an announcement?
Thatâs definitely out of nowhere.
Xbox fans are eating good today.
The neat part is both versions, One and Series. Save money. PS service better offer both worlds.

=====================
There has been really big Xbox stock being sent to Japan as of late. Golden Week is approaching. I do wonder if something bigger is being worked on? We know about Xbox Japan hiring for big projects now at least.
Cool that Pocky and Rocky remake hit the top 10⊠Iâm one of those sales . The JP version supports English so I imported it.
Compile Heart is learning the harsh lesson that trying to be an unpaid PS exclusive JP developer in 2022 will not fly. That Neptunia game is by far record low sales for the series. It was very, very foolish to not have that game on the Switch.
Meanwhile, Vanillaware is a company that was historically very Sony oriented and now 13 Sentinels is seeing very nice Switch version legs. Itâs very close to the PS versionâs second week sales despite being an old port which usually do not sell well in Japan.
Konami, the company that apparently doesnât make video games and just sits around smoking pot and thus will be bought by Sony, is seeing decent sales this week with eBaseball (which I should add absolutely curb stomps MLB The Showâs sales in Japan, just to rain on anyoneâs parade who thought MLB The Show on Game Pass would help Xbox in Japan), particularly on Switch.
Avatar: The Bend of Air
NBA 2K22 is among top ten most played on Xbox currently, so this game pass announcement will help to boost the service and probably playtime.
Rogue Legacy 2 is out now guys. its discounted and is only 20 bucks right now. so far I like it
Any accessibility or difficulty options?
The bait for Avatar 1 was 3D . The bait for Avatar 2 is 60 FPS .
Kinda like high framerate or whatever it was called for Hobbit? I hated how that looked, looked off.
A lot of news this week for Xbox
yes there is no easy normal or hard mode but you can adjust enemy life amounts and stuff like that to make the game easier
