Its really easy to argue that they never show any gameplay if you just ignore all the gameplay theyve shown.

Jeff Grubb : Doesn't know what's happening at the Xbox showcase, show is locked down (Was able to confirm two games won't be there)
- Thread starter JINX
- Start date
they obviously announced it as a way to hire people
they were originally hinting at it before they even formed the 2nd playground studio lol
Yeah definitely an original Microsoft strategy. Definitely hasn't been a long running critique of a notable competitor.
Since Starfield is delayed, I'm hoping that FM will be the focus this year. They've been working on it for a long time now.
Games that arent on Xbox One. How many of those are there? Flight Sim annndddd? Like I said I just got the console and hope I'm proven wrong by Sunday.
That's fine, this show is about 2022, early 2023, or guaranteed not missing 2023. They could very realistically show:
- Forza
- Starfield
- Redfall
- Pentiment
- Wolf 3
- Hellblade 2
- Avowed
- The 1 (or 2?) Mojang games already leaked
- Belfry
- Contraband
- Indus
(I'm not saying I know all of these are definitely 2022/2023, just that it's totally plausible)
Like that's not exactly an empty lineup. Save Fable and PD for next E3, even if they end up coming holiday. I really don't think there's reason to see this as confirmation that they are past 2024 for instance.
Edit: remembered more games exist, wow do they have a lot coming

there were two and a half years between the initial reports that Playground was working on Fable and the actual reveal... that's a very delayed response to leaks
What first party, non Xbox One, AAA exclusives are on Series X right now? Besides the aforementioned flight sim.
That game they announced on Twitter a year ago? I wouldn't say that is a lock.
Wish we could go back to 360 graphics if it meant quicker dev times. Getting sick of 5 - 10 year dev times and MS continuing to under deliver for 2 generations straight. How did they make all those aquisitions years ago now and still have so little content to show for it? Boggles my mind
as of now there are no game 1st party games announced for x1 unless you count grounded which hasnt left early access yet
Makes sense considering Playground just released a game of the year candidate last year. I get the whole "separate teams" thing, but building one up from scratch + Covid = time.
Nope. But there's also, what? 2-3 PS5 exclusives on their platform? What a weird stipulation to make, anyway. Are games not worthwhile unless they're specifically Series exclusive?
Again, games take time. And it's unrealistic to expect non-crossgen games early in the generation with how much modern games cost to develop.

Most of them were in the middle of game development when they were acquired. Actually barring the Initiative which was a from scratch thing, i believe all of them were? Most of those games came out over the past 2-3 years. And games take longer than that to make. And with Bethesda it's taking a couple years to wash off the Sony moneyhats.
I never said that they announced the games early as a direct response to or immediately after the leaks. They used the announcements as recruitment tools, which was arguably a good thing, since they were looking to hire people for key positions at both studios.
Entirely too early. I've got a D2 clanmate who works for PGG and they bemoaned that it was shown too early last year.

The trailer is literally called "Gameplay Reveal". There are obvious sequences where you can see the player taking control of the character. Just because they adjusted their camera angles for maximum cinematic effect doesn't mean it wasn't gameplay or CGI.
No, they were going on a hiring spree. Getting the word out they were working on the game with a CG trailer acted as a recruitment tool.

Someone who's usually well plugged in on here mentioned during last year's "E3" season that this year's Xbox show would be better. I took it to mean this year's show could be special. I think it was Matt IIRC, but I can't say with certainty as I haven't looked it up. Honestly, I'm not setting my expectations ultra high after the difficult last couple years we've had, but I think the show this year will be great. I say this as someone who was pretty overjoyed with last year's showing, mainly because of the sheer volume of games coming to Game Pass that I had an interest in. Hades on GP was my favorite announcement of that show.
You can't just throw money at stuff and expect to get results, it takes time to build talent. We all see how many vacancies are at the top studios like ND, imagine how hard it will be for anyone else to get talent?
Im sure the games will come, its only a few days until their show.
Avowed and Fable are the only 2 first party games announced I'm interested in so hopefully a decent amount of Avowed is there.
Hilarious to be shown gameplay and just respond with "nah".
I'll never understand why people look at the Crystal Dynamics thing as a bad thing for Perfect Dark? That's probably one of the best things that could've happened for that game, get a massive studio with a lot of expertise to flesh out ideas that have been in pre-production for a few years.
So you're just going full on conspiracy theory now? For real?
This has got to be trolling.
Covid Time Traveling. Either way, last year while we were watching the showcase in Discord he told me that the year prior was too early.
I'm getting whiplash going between both threads. I believe Fable/Perfect Dark/Everwild were definitely announced too early, but given the circumstances at the time, it makes sense. I also don't understand the hyperbole in this thread that these games are 2025+.
They honestly should have made it clear how far away Fable is. If you follow this stuff closely it's not surprising but most people not seeing a game 2 years after announcement are going to be scratching their heads.
Those aren't the same crowds. I am absolutely fine with someone saying "We're working on this" and then going away for years until they're ready to show something.
I don't think so. I'd be very surprised if it makes an appearance.
Agreed. 2024 is really not that far away. Fable could easily be Spring 2024 and Perfect Dark Holiday 2024, so we'll see them at TGAs or next E3. Why spend time on them when they have other games releasing in the next 6-18 months?
My point exactly, you've just cherry picked games that dont while ignoring the ones that did get gameplay.
Also you decided to include hellblade 2 because apparantly the gameplay trailer they released doesnt count either.
When has there ever been a console 2 years into its life with 0 exclusive games? Why are you acting like this is normal?
Why don't cross-gen games count? The vast majority of Sony's big releases have also been cross-gen.
