Wouldn't something like Ms FP studios or Xbox FP studios be better than saying xgs and Bethesda?
Hopefully its on gamepass. i wish i had it on ps5 but it is long gone from Plus
Xbox First Party would have been fine but I like the clarity of this too.
Just finished Ori 2. To preface, I thought Ori 1 was just okay. Controls were quite poor and the level (level, not environment) design was very dull. I'd give it a 6/10.
Ori 2 was a monumental improvement in almost every category. Gameplay in Ori 2 is far superior, and the level design is also a big improvement with far more variety and interest. Taking inspiration from Hollow Knight for upgrades and NPCs was an excellent idea. Graphics are obviously beautiful but the music was the true star of the show (holy shit it was good!). The chase sequences sucked but that is really my only major gripe with it. I'd give this a 9/10, and it was the second best game I played of 2020. In fact, I'd say it's pretty easily the best XBox studio game ever made (I am biased in favor of single player games though).

I'm very eager for news on the acquistion, but I wonder in maybe Xbox will do two "E3" style events this year: Xbox Game Studio show and #BE3? I also wonder what will happen with Quakecon.
I think they should get rid of the Bethesda showcase, they were almost always a waste of time with one or sometimes two exciting bits of news per year. Put those in the main XBox conference so that you can have a true showing of all killer no filler.
I bet they use the "Xbox+Bethesda" branding from the announcement for their E3 events going forward, it just works!
Nice new OT!
I gotta say that the list of FPS boosted games is terribly disappointing. My low expectations weren't even met.

New OT hype.
Things should definitely kick off once the deal is done and dusted, but who knows... maybe we'll have to really wait till mid-July to finally get *BIG* news

I have Watch Dogs 2 sitting in my backlog. This makes me more likely to load it up to be honest. Awesome BC updates as always.
Good news re FPS. I wonder if they could do this with current gen stuff so they get a frame rate boost with littlr/no programming muscle needed by devs.
As an aside, watching Nintendo Direct, it boggles the mind why people like this format so much. I hate it.

Almost in the same boat as you, as I finished the Blind Forest a few weeks ago and Will of the Wisps last night. And while I do agree that Will of the Wisps is superior, I absolutely loved both games. The Blind Forest definitely feels like a smaller game in scale, it didn't take me too long to get 100% on my file, maybe 11-12 hours? I'm at around 15 hours with Will of the Wisps, but my file says I'm only 55% done with everything. I'm definitely going to keep firing this game up to pluck away at getting that 100%, I just love the gameplay in these games. The story in both games is great as well. Hoping like crazy that we get a 3rd Ori game some day.
I don't like the Direct approach either but it's really popular. I'd rather have one or two big events every year and that be it (although as of late Nintendo Directs have been very few).
I loved both games, though Will of the Wisps is a clear step up. But one thing I did prefer about Blind Forest was the ability to create your own save / spawn point.
I don't know about pleasing all the Gears folks. I wouldn't be interested in a Gears collection, they're already all playable on Series X and many fans want a new multiplayer.
