XboxEra Community Hangout |OT8| Waiting for E3 2023

some reviews of grounded are out and people like it.

It’s not a Musou, it’s a “hunting” game.

If they follow TGS template or Gamescom, then it might be good.

Yeah, I saw that a few minutes ago. Similar to Monster Hunter. Will wait and see how it looks on Wednesday and go from there.

looks more Tsushima than Onimusha from the early looks. No demon stuff.

Would you look at that, looks like the industry is only growing.

Xbox too or unknown right now?

It’s published by EA, more than likely multiplat.

EA seems to be partnering with japanese studios a lot these days. Did they partner with third parties in the past?

https://www.giantbomb.com/square-ea/3010-7020/#:~:text=Square%20Electronic%20Arts%20LLC%20was,when%20Square%20merged%20with%20Enix.

Welp, that was unexpected. But still I did not know that third party publsihers do stuff like that (though I know only about Bungie and ABK and that’s it)

To think this is the way to get Xbox Square games. What a world.

I think the only way is for Microsoft to make an alliance with Square Enix (like with Sega) or just by acquisition. Otherwise I think SE is just waiting for cheques.

Seems like Xbox is doing a big push in the UK atm, Series S comes with FIFA and they’ve done a bunch of marketing with what looks like Fifa youtubers/influencers. This is marketing but most won’t acknowledge this because it’s not a big banner on the side of a building in 13 countries.

What do you mean won’t acknowledge? I acknowledge everything that goes into the real world beyond Twitter

People say Microsoft does zero marketing and going off by what they want marketing wise doing something like they are in the UK with FIFA doesn’t count or is good enough marketing because they don’t have Xbox plastered on some building like Sony does, despite this sort of marketing probably being much better.

I’m not saying putting banners on building is a bad idea, it’s just people say Xbox does zero marketing because they aren’t on buildings that annoy me. Marketing has all sorts of methods and one size doesn’t fit all.

Loved the MW2 Beta. And playing the Invasion / 32vs 32 Ground War modes convince me even further than Halo Infinite’s Big Team Battle could have been so much more ambitious. Should have gone with Halo 5’s Warzone 2.0 PvPvE Battlefield style instead of regular 12v12 BTB. One if the big disappointments I have with Infinite’s MP.

The one with Certain Infinity is going to fill that gap.

Until recently they did not even have what they are doing right now in UK, no? Like 1 month ago, 2 month ago, 3 month ago they did not have even what you are showing right now.
