Ori is the big one on my list.He's probably looking for games. Honest question, what Xbox/W10 exclusives does MS have for the first half of 2020?

What goal post movement? All I am saying is that I am waiting until the AAA games are out. Microsoft has still a lot to prove in that field.lol, I knew we'd still see a couple "hot air" and "I'll believe it when I see it" comments. Never disappointed in these threads.
I wonder what the goal post movement looks like after this E3 and a formal next gen reveal? We likely get a look at a rebooted Fable and The Initiatives game and whatever else they have cooking with their Global Publishing team.
I mean, that's entirely Microsoft's own fault. They had other games this generation, obviously, but that consisted of smaller stuff like Ori, Recore, Killer Instinct, etc. that are good, but don't have whatever pull Halo has, and the pile of forgettable, crap, or crap-at-launch games like Dead Rising 3/4, Sunset Overdrive, Sea of Thieves, Ryse, and so on.Ori is a huge one for me as well.
I think the issue is that people still label Xbox as a Halo/Gears machine and that's it. I felt that way for a long time too, but someone would have to be blind to not see the steps they've been taking to shed that label. Sure they're still going to pump out Gears, Halo, Forza. They'd be stupid not to, but with all of those new studios that have their own unique styles I think we're going to start seeing more interesting things next gen. We already got a small taste of that.
Wow

I should clarify, Sea of Thieves was crap at launch. I know it's improved, but it's still one of those games that's way too niche to really sell a platform.

It's been 6 years since Spencer took over. And so far we haven't seen much except hot air.
Halo Infinite on Switch imo.Imagine using Mineacraft special case to port beg another game lol

The real funny bit of all this is that unless you're #1 everyone thinks you're losing money and are a joke. You can be #2 or 3 and still be successful.lol, "thats bait.gif"
I honestly cant remember Phil Spencer doing an anti consumer thing since taking over xbox. He seems like a great lad and leader.
So great to have him after the joke that was Don Mattrick.
Phil Spencer is perfect for Xbox. Xbox vision is fantastic these days. I wish Phil was my dad. Phil is like the dad that when you have social awkwardness at a big family function he comes close puts his arm around you and says, "Son I can see that you are anxious and I just want to say I am proud of who you are and I will stay here with you until you feel comfortable to get up and speak to others." His presence at that point is a present. He just calmly talks you through your issues listens carefully and slowly gives you advice. He is like the dad who sees that you have a bad grade on a report card and with meaning but grace pushes you to meet your full potential but doesn't crush you for your failure. He would says with a smile "I see that you got a C in class and I know you must be disappointed and I would be too but I know you will do better next time. You have so much potential and please know that I am here to help you and I am willing to take time from my executive role just for you and your dreams. I love you buddy." We embrace and I kiss him on the cheek. I can taste that his dimpled cheeks are salty with tears. Not tears of disappointment but with tears of pride for his son.
You mean anti consumer stuff like keeping F2P games locked behind a paywall and releasing an unfinished dumpster fire like the MCC and then taking 4 yeas to fix it ? Apart from that XGS software output has been absolutely anemic the last 6 years, both in quantity and quality.lol, "thats bait.gif"

All before Summer ends next year. And we then have Halo Infinite, Microsoft Flight Simulator, Battletoads and Psychonauts 2 releasing in 2020 without a confirmed date so far.
Its hard to get hyped for smaller games for me, that's why I talked about AAA games in my first post. From the biggest tech company in the world I want the biggest games. I don't care much for this smaller projects. They don't even look that great. And I tried the first Ori and didn't like it. Wasteland 3 would have been happened anyway so not really Microsoft earning. But I am looking forward to that one.As others have stated ad nauseam, saying "you'll believe him when you see AAA games" is pretty disingenuous and disregards the fact that he convinced his CEO to invest billions in a market he didn't fully understand or want to stay in. We're already slowly starting to see the fruits of their labor- Ninja Theory announcing Hellblade 2, with 14 other studios working of their next big projects.
I assume you're going to disregard the 8-10 XGS titles releasing in the first half as not counting because they're "not AAA"? If so, that's too bad because they're are some really cool titles coming next year, with Ori 2 being my most anticipated.
But even though all of those other games "don't count", I'm sure they will be revealing some next gen titles at E3. And I wouldn't be surprised if MS has more to show than the competition. But I guess no one should get excited for the direction Xbox is heading until all of these games release
well said.This thread is full of people talking abasolute shite.
- It takes time to make stuff
- Sony's output has been better received and has been consistently good (though not always top notch, but you know what? If you love it, good, that's the fucking point of all this)
- MS's output is not shite because of that fact, per se (the 'winner takes all' mentality is fucking ridiculous and unhelpful), though some has definitely been worse than it could/should have been
- The change from MS 2013 to MS 2019 is absolutely stark, and to pretend otherwise is to be facetious, at best.
I have been gaming for a long time. People that only own one system always seem to hate on the others. Never made sense to me. Microsoft has consistently been putting out the games I want to play the most. I love some of the games sony puts out...same for Nintendo.Ori is a huge one for me as well.
I think the issue is that people still label Xbox as a Halo/Gears machine and that's it. I felt that way for a long time too, but someone would have to be blind to not see the steps they've been taking to shed that label. Sure they're still going to pump out Gears, Halo, Forza.

What do you consider good enough? Huge budget crunch inducing games you play once and put down?Its hard to get hyped for smaller games for me, that's why I talked about AAA games in my first post.

Wasteland 3 would have been happened anyway so not really Microsoft earning. But I am looking forward to that one.
But yeah, as for the AAA output we still have to wait and see and I can't praise them for just announcing games. Especially after their output this gen.
I'm always amazed that people can be so passionate about a corporate executive.
So what. People are passionate about devs, systems, games and all that jazz. We get it...some of you are very above it all. Congrats.

Those saying "but where are the games MS?", aren't exactly bringing it up from nowhere.
Listing games that Xbox is projected to have coming out in response is not exactly telling of how they have changed even though they very well might have. Do those of you making these lists believe Xbox didn't (before Phil made his intentions clear) have a slate of games announced and set to release, and that MS publishing wasn't "serious" about those games when they were making them? Of course they were serious, they just weren't good at doing it. Xbox in fact did have a lot of games that you could similarly make lists out of before 2019. Will all of those games you list be good as what people expect from other platform holders (which is where a lot of the criticism comes from)? That's a question for another day. It's definitely a start, but to act like they were never serious about games is like… a fallacy.
