Phil Spencer: We've heard you, you want transparency/authenticity. We plan to keep showing that way, next step is not too much of a wait (games)

There's been enough smoke about it over the years that it's all but guaranteed. Also a few years ago Giant Bomb had Phil Spencer on their E3 show. They had "Fable?" written on their blackboard. Phil joked on air about there being something on the board and refusing to look at it.
Feels like a open secret at this point.
Man I relaly hope they don't mess up the new Fable. There's potential for it to be something special but so much precedent with previous Fable games and Microsoft's recent releases for them to mess it up that I'm quite warry
Imagine this Fable, with photogrammetry, RT GI + Shadows, enhanced physics, AAA grade animations, and smarter ai...
I need to change my shorts.
I trust in Playground. Especially since they can get input and feedback from experienced devs like Obsidian and InXile. You bring in Feargus or Brian Fargo to give feedback and those dudes know RPGs.
Thanks for that note in a thread about Xbox plans from Phil Spencer, smh.

Sounds like May's the month for opening the next gen floodgates!
I'm very curious to see what MS' studios can bring forward. Quite a few are still wildcards.

Thanks for letting us know in a thread about Xbox and Phil Spencer
Their fans have spoken: They don't want it.
(going by the thread here)
Phil needs to acquire some Japanese and South Korean studios. Give Igarashi a bag of money and get him to make Bloodstained 3D.

Elden Ring was rumoured to be shown in event that was planned in April. Wich didnt happen because of everything offcourse. So we might see it in the next event,
Fable always had that King's Quest vibe I remember fondly from childhood. Hoping for something from this world.
SoT was a great unique MP experience, I would love to see something fresh again that I can play with friends.
I hope I don't see any Zombie games, I'm zombied out.

I'm a 3 apologist. I had a good time with it even if it wasn't as good as the first 2.
Sony drop them reveals on the system now. Cmon you fools!!! What are you waiting for!!!???
MS bring the fire as usual. Spencer and team have been on a roll lately. Really excited to see their plans.

Okay Squirrel imma need a hint as to how many sleeps until we see some goods, or the announcement of such announcement.
It hasn't been confirmed, but it is far from blind. What is confirmed is that British studio, Playground Games is developing an open world fantasy RPG. Phil has been confronted with it several times, and without going into detail, almost behaved as if he intentionally wanted people to think it is fable.
TL;Dr: it's Fable.
This is what I think we're going to seeing over the new few months where to comes to next gen info:
May
1st Xbox digital event: XSX games blow out with games running on XSX hardware and showcases of how games will use the XSX hardware
Tear down of PS5 hardware showcasing its cooling solution and the final look of the console.
June
2nd Xbox digital event: Debut of the XSS (aka "Lockhart"), Launch dates and pricing for the XSS and XSX, more game showcases
State of Play from Sony showing off the PS5 with games running on final hardware, launch date and launch price reveal
Does this seem reasonable?

I mean, gyro would be awesome to have, but I can't imagine that would be the first thing in many people's minds when reading the title.

The State of Play in June will be the big coming out party of the PS5. The tear down in May can be done via YT video and posted on social media like the Dual Sense. I totally see Sony just dropping a YT video showing off the insides of the PS5 and its final design on a random Tuesday morning in May. Dropping significant news on a random Tuesday has been Sony's modus operandi when it comes to PR for a while now.

So basically copying the Nintendo approach by being forthcoming about content and when we can expect to see stuff revealed/released. I like that.
Unpopular Opinion: I want Microsoft to show us everything they've got in the pipeline.....even the shit that won't see the light of day for another two or three years. I just want to be left completely gobsmacked.
I honestly think they'll do it. Glass the planet so to speak.
That's not an unpopular opinion at all. That was pretty much part of the feedback the Xbox team received. People want to feel confident in their content pipeline - and this includes announcing projects early, just like the competition is doing it for many years already.
It's exactly the way they are heading towards and they even started doing so already with Everwild by Rare, Senua's Saga: Hellblade II by Ninja Theory or even Age of Empires IV by The World's Edge/Relic, three games that are still in rather early to mid-development. If an Xbox first-party studio is confident enough in showing something, you'll see it rather sooner than later.
