The 2 hour ms show is gonna be 3rd party town. There was that leak 2 months ago about like a dozen games they bought marketing rights to, from cyberpunk, borderlands, splinter cell, etc.

That plus the move to a new venue for the show seems like pretense for the dramatically reduced show floor presence ms has as they continue to fail to make any games

Nothing's going to lead to more Xbox sales if they continue the model of "Windows 10 also gets everything." Why buy Microsoft's console when you can just plug a controller into your computer and get the same thing?

I'm not complaining, of course, but it is a curious business choice. When the PS4 competes technologically and the Switch offers a different experience, Xbox needs something to set it apart and offering its "exclusives" on a different platform isn't doing it any favors.

The only way xbox can differentiate now imo short of somehow putting together a half dozen world class studios and cranking out hits (unlikely and hard) would be to go full pc integration and try and pull off the failed steam machine dream.

make a future xbox into a standardized cheap pc system on a chip, ms can beat the power/price of making your own lovely entry level pc anyway

They'd have to Raise the white flag to valve and let steam and other storefronts run on the console tho (xblg membership required of course) cause windows store is loving garbo nobody would ever use. So thats never gonna happen

and theyd probably also need to let foreign companies make xbox compatible machines in their markets cause microsoft has loving failed at penetrating asia and europe on their own.

Welp thats my totally unrealistic idea to make xbox a viable brand outside of the us and uk. Its basically just a modern version of what they did with the msx is the 80s tho so its probably dumb. Thanks for reading.

On other speculation topics, did anything ever surface regarding that Resident Evil 2 remake that Capcom may-or-may not be working on? The last time I checked the project changed from an RE1-style, tank-controls-and-fixed-camera approach to a higher-budget, RE4-6-style reimagining, but not much else.

No.

Why is every prime X1X game delayed so much? Sea of Thieves took like 3 years to finally get a release after like probably 5 of development. Scalebound was also pushed a long time until it finally died on the road.

State of decay 2 just launched with only one or two major new features after 5 years of dev wasted switching engines.

Ms is real bad at managing studios both internal and external.

I think there's kind of a big difference between saying "We're gonna save single-player guys :downs:" when you already have a MMO going, versus saying that and then less then six months later announcing that the next entry to one of your biggest franchises is going to be online-only.

They released 3 or 4 big sp only games last year as a publisher. Also todd howard is a huge liar so hes prob just lying

Ya I didn't buy it(Origins) on release because of the performance but if I remember correctly in the steam thread people said it was pretty much completely fixed.

I just hope there is a leak for the new From game and that it isn't a sony exclusive.

If you mean shadows die twice from the game awards i dont see any chance its exclusive. If it was sony would be extremely proud to tell you so.

There might be other exclusive from projects tho

To be fair they're the only companies with anything worth leaking. Sony and Square-Enix announce everything early then leave us all waiting years for the games to actually materialize, EA hasn't produced a game anyone would bother leaking in a generation, and Microsoft... well your games can't leak if you don't develop any.

Xbox announces games all the time... that they have no intention of making

The main give away is Death Stranding being there in any capacity besides some sprawling trailerthat reveals nothing about the game

Kojima promises the game will beat the date of the events of the movie akira which take place late in 2019 iirc

So maybe gameplay isnt out of the question. The hard part will be recognizing it as such

Dragon's Dogma could really benefit from a true HD current gen game and a story/world that isn't so boring I want to shoot my brains out.

Would love for Capcom to farm out some of those ideas to Platinum.

This game is incredibly mysterious. That trailer was the first ANYONE had heard of it, the company that's making it seemingly popped up out of nowhere and has all of one other game to their name (a VR game that seems to be a prequel to Atomic Heart) and generally speaking no one knows anything about anything related to it.

Im ready to get scammed
