If it was 2017, and they still had 6 studios… sure? However, they have so much going on, I highly doubt it'll be dry at all.

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
God, I can't fucking wait for this showcase. It's going to be a doozy.
Microsoft has like 40 titles in development across XGS, Publishing and Bethesda. 2 games not appearing still means a gigaton of other titles that can be shown.
No Fable dang. It was quiet on that front so not surprising but was hoping to see it regardless. I just hope whenever it comes out the live service does not kill the game's legacy. I want an ARPG with Sims elements and not something watered down that just has you doing repetitive dailies.
Not a ton I'm excited for, but I never expected these games to show up anyway. I just hope there's proper gameplay footage of what they do show. Very tired of teasers and CGI trailers for things that are barely in production. Give me 10 minutes of someone actually playing Starfield with a controller in their hands.
officially announced in 2020 but reports about playground games working on Fable started up in early 2018
Honestly this industry need (fans and devs/pubs) for hype and secrecy is the thing that's wrong. I'm all for more transparency about what's coming, and if things don't happen or get moved around then it would be good for gamers to just be a bit grown up about those realities.
Making your "one last thing" a CGI trailer then going silent for 3 years sure is a stupid decision.
don't expect any games not in Sunday's event to be shown at the showcase
I think it sucks that both Fable and Perfect Dark were flaunted just to remind everyone they own the ips. I don't know when the heck we'll actually see these games resurface.
Do you think Splinter Cell, KOTOR remake, and Wolverine being announced as early as they were was just to show they had access to the IPs? Or do you think it's possible that they need to market themselves to get developers?
Could be column a or column b. More and more games have been getting announced really really early in recent years.
IDK about the first two but Wolverine was 100% shown early to flex about having it as an IP
As hiring has gotten more difficult
They started massive hiring campaigns right after and used the Wolverine name to get people to join the team.
If Fable won't be at the show because they don't have gameplay to show ok. But if they show InXiles new game with a cgi trailer. When it's probably farther out then Fable what's the reasoning on why they can't show another fable trailer?
I don't think we'll see inXile's new game, but there is a pretty big difference between the two:
CGI trailers can be outsourced and not mess with development team. A gameplay trailer requires taking time away from development from the team to craft a demo/sequence/vertical slice for the trailer.
I mean that ship has loooong sailed, i'm afraid. But i'm right there with you.
Banjo threeie, baby!
Pretty obvious no? The fact that you're referring to it as "InXiles new game" answers your question.
Probably not going to hear about Gears 6 for a bit, TC is working on a smaller project to acclimate themselves with UE5 first.
To those saying Fable was announced too early, everyone knew it was being made 2 years prior. Most people back then were calling it the worst secret in gaming. They announced it because everyone already knew and MS needed some momentum with the console coming out later in the year.
the whole thing about "showing it too early" has never made sense to me for any games. The game exists and will eventually be shown and when it is shown, everyone will forget that it wasn't shown off at this particular event on Sunday.
I've always been under the impression that Grubb's access to sources is actually pretty limited… which makes it pretty weird that he's developed the reputation he has.
Don't know how that's 'long sailed'. Since 2013, we've had Killer Instinct, Rare Replay, and Battletoads. Goldeneye remaster will be releasing very soon and a new Perfect Dark is on the way. Definitely want even more classic Rare games (hopefully Banjo announced in a few days), but they're certainly not lying as dormant now as they used to.
microsot announce games way too early man. i mean they give square a run for their money at this point
As others have pointed out, early announcements are largely about recruiting talent. Many that potentially weren't interested in working for Playground Games because they don't want to work on racing games were undoubtedly pulled in after the Fable announcement.
Yeah, what I meant was that complaints about it being shown too early make no sense to me.
Really dont know where you got that from. Next to Schreier he is one of the most consistently accurate people out there.
