just watched the behind the scenes video for Hellblade 2 and shyt is still in pre-production :laff::smh:smh

true heavy-hitting exclusives like Fable, Avowed, Perfect Dark,Next Elder Scrolls & Fallout still seem to be in the conceptual stage, like they aren't even real & tangible yet. Even Starfield feels this way even tho it's supposedly coming out next year:patrice:


I dunno mang, it's hard to get excited for stuff 3-5 in the future, and given Microsoft's history last-gen of cancelling a bunch of high-profile exclusives, it wouldn't surprise me at all if some of these projects get axed :mjtf:

As an Xbox owner it’s more interesting the games coming to Game Pass that are going to be available at no extra charge than exclusive games. I know people like to go crazy over exclusive games here but the truth is you’re maybe talking about a handful of games at best. There’s a lot more games coming out than that and as Microsoft continues to secure deals some of them won’t cost Xbox gamers any extra.

Its clear Microsofts strategy was to put all their cards on the table as soon as possible. They really didn’t have a choice but to play the long game with early reveals. Almost everything they’ve revealed as been cgi or not really gameplay aside from forza and halo. they couldn’t really afford to go another two years with the “no games” narrative

  • Everwild turned out to be a cgi trailer
  • Hellblade 2 which premiered two years ago already with the series x reveal turned out to be fake footage
  • Perfect Dark was CGI
  • State of Decay 3 CGI
  • Redfall was CGI
  • Contraband was CGI
  • Starfield was “in-game” but they are only just now in pre-alpha
  • Elderscrolls doubt its even in pre-pro
  • Avowed was in-game but its clear its far out
  • Outerworlds was CGI and they were clear they havent even started it
  • Fable was CGI
  • Fallout 5 isn’t even in discussion
  • No such thing as Wolfenstein 3

Yeah. They had to kill that narrative. That's a good slate of games, but it's obvious they announced everything they had, even things in the early planning stages. There's going to be a long wait for some of them.
