A lot of Xbox Series launch window titles are now pushed to 2021
- Thread starter MiDoZ
- Start date
The only Xbox first party game that was delayed is Halo Infinite. The others you cite are third party games. How would 'good planning' from xbox have prevented these games from being delayed?
We have a pandemic on our hands. Remember that.
The 'no games' meme is console warz stuff. Let's keep that away from this site, shall we?
Not every dev runs the same. Some devs may have had an easier time moving to a qork from environment. And if we are talking by 1st party studios then the only game ms delayed was halo( which yes was a huge blow for then)
does it? i hardly think microsoft is out there to punish them for being an early adopter and no, the "no games" meme is far from being true because the ps5 have four extra games on it
but maybe if microsoft moneyhatted godfall instead of sony people would be happier here (hint they wouldnt)
people get a little defensive when it comes to hardware maker criticism, it comes with the territory. Especially around a console launch. It was like this 7 years ago as well at the old place
Because console wars ensure that discourse remains at an all time low. Some can't read any criticism about their box of choice without taking it as a personal slight.
Shame, all I can say is it sucks that games you were looking forward to have been pushed. On the bright side they will be better off for it, you wouldn't want even more bugs than we have already seen on launch games.
Yes, it sucks, i want to get a Series X but currently there aren't many reasons to do so. I don't enjoy BC compat games, i beat the ones i like already and i never replay games. Maybe in a year it'll be worth getting one for me.
Gamepass smoothed the launch bumps out for me - ive got more than enough to play for the forseeable.
Or maybe it has nothing to do with console wars, but instead taking a step back and assessing the situation holistically to gain a better understanding of why delays are happening.
Yeah this forum is super toxic. You can't criticize either console without a flurry of posts accusing you of trolling or being a console warrior, it's nauseating and embarrassing.
OP commited the cardinal sin of creating a negative Xbox thread, without any game pass praise. What did you expect!
As an early adopter, I could see why you would be upset at the lack of new fresh titles that show off what your new machine is all about - it's happened every other next gen launch.
I'm sure Microsoft is out here punishing consumers that buy Xbox, sure sounds like something they would do.
None of the games mentioned are XGS games so I'm not sure what the point you're trying to make is?
You can't justify paying for new games right now, yet you are complaining that 3 games were delayed to 2021..... 🤔
This doesnt even include Halo Infinite, or Psychonauts (which was originally a 2020 title)
On the brightside 2021 should be alright.

Have you taken a look at the video game industry? Is it really good planning and management or just massive amounts of worker exploitation/crunch?
I'd expect a similar reaction if Someone opened a thread to blame Jim Ryan and Sony for repeated delays of Cyberpunk 2077.
The awesome hardware +gamepass will suffice for many (most?) early adopters till the big names hit.
Reused assets in Demon's Souls? What are you talking about?
These games aren't that good. Every gameplay screams mediocricy. So...nothing of value was lost.
I don't really agree with the notion of equating dealing with the consequences of your purchase decisions as punishment.
Early adopters will always deal with the problems that appear first. This has been the case since the beginning of time with console releases.
It's a bummer that there's no real launch exclusives and some are pushed back but this was all info before the launch of the consoles.
It's the first time I've considered getting something Xbox though this generation. I'm contemplating a series s but I'm waiting for exclusives to actually come out and see how it performs with them. The results so far haven't been great imo.
Yeah took them 3 years to make the demon souls remake so lazy....
I mean they had all the amazing high quality ps3 assets :P
I'm just going to act like covid, a global pandemic didn't happen and mess up plans for everyone near the beginning of the year...
I don't see an issue since I've always viewed the launch window to be about ~4 - 7 months after launch.
Plus with everything going on in the world, devs can take all the time they need, given that they're able to support themselves.

User warned: Thread whining
Bullshit console warrior nonsense immediately negated by the fact that there are metric shit ton of games on Game Pass.
It doesn't help when they post stupid stuff like "feeling punished" as if someone forced them to buy it now.
Not sure how Microsoft could have improved on this given they are all third party games that they aren't even publishing?
I get OP's reasoning though, having "proper" next gen games to play for a launch that are exclusive is a great feeling

And most of them look and play better than before with added HDR and reduced input lag.
Ehh, not too worried about it. I literally had a library of hundreds of games day one to play with Gamepass. That's a pretty good deal. Next year this time will be interesting to see. Plus there will be plenty availability of both consoles.
Indeed. On top of the 'what about the other company' posts. It's a legit criticism.
OP, don't forget to add that the next gen version of Cyberpunk 2077 won't be out until 2021. Microsoft definitely dropped the ball on this.
That Microsoft didn't plan well next gen launch the console without exclusives.
Disappointing but in 6 months its not like its going to matter. And while on the other side of the fence there's a pair of exclusive experiences in Demon Souls/Astrobot, if you're not into DS its pretty thin launch exclusive wise no matter where you're playing.
Add that to the typical (and atypical COVIDrelated) console shortages out there, none of this matters. I'm enjoying the heck out of my XSX and its whip fast loading, but these consoles are in "soft launch" right now for all intents and purposes. Next year is the real tale of the tape across the board.

Microsoft doesn't seem to be treating their Xbox One and "Series" lines like a traditional console generation. They seem to be the launching point for an ecosystem of devices kind of like Apple/Samsung do with phones. I don't think they want to pull the plug on Xbox One just yet, but I'm sure that having to develop for so many platforms is kind of a challenge.
It's really smart of Microsoft to release all their games when the Series consoles become widely available.
BC games really shouldn't have to carry a console. Gamepass is a great service but it's a valid complaint that there aren't any real new games to note or they're getting bumped into 2021.
With the acquisition of Zenimax it appears MS are making strides to make the platform more diverse but at present, in terms of content, it's just a continuation of their current strategy, which hasn't been great. They are sorely lacking in comparison to both Sony and Nintendo when it comes to games that draw you to the platform.
There's also Miles Morales, plus playing Cold War and Borderlands 3 with the Dualsense are some pretty great exclusive experiences.
I really don't see the big deal with launch lineups these days..
It plays all your stuff... it's just a system upgrade. It's not like when I was a kid and the snes only played snes games.
maybe I'm just old.
My kid played Fortnite on the Series X yesterday and it was so much better than on the old Xbox where it took like 10 minutes to get into a game.The new consoles make all this stuff so much better. I didn't even want to turn on my Xbox One cause it took so frickin long to start anything.

Based on what I've seen from those games? If you're liking what you've seen from the medium I love it
Gamepass alone is worth the cost of having it if you do not got a gaming pc. Their is so much to play.
