Xbox Game Studios |OT5| The Cult of Phil in the Age of Booty: A Case Study

I guess you missed the "NEW" SP part. It is exciting Phil Spencer noted 14 games to show. Less exciting is if 33-66% of them are games we have known about for a while. I expect Halo to be there. SP in the last two games has been OK. Hopefully they will do better. More exciting will be something NEW! If Ninja Theory has something to show SP wise to go along their leaked MP title.
I find it hard to believe that anything that is not said in the most glowing terms is considered trolling. This is a message board and there is tons of speculation here. Speculating before the conference is common, so lets hold off with the "Wait till E3, Wait till X19, Build, etc". Its 3 days before. speculation should be normal and not trolling.
If the Hellblade team has a SP game to show then everyone will be happy. MP and SP fans. But it's only been 2 years since Hellblade shipped and that team is only a couple dozen strong, how much can they have to show?
I didn't miss the "NEW" part, which is why I made a point to mention E3 hasn't happened yet. If you and others want to speculate about the entire MS lineup based on one trailer leaking that's certainly fine with me lol.
Depending on the scale of the game, they could definitely have a trailer to show for a game to be released next year or even late this year. Hellblade was in development for about three years, and they had to deal with a lot of stuff in that time, securing funding, creating some of the tech they used, publishing etc. They won't have to worry about that stuff as much anymore, in part because they can reuse some of the stuff from Hellblade and in part because Microsoft has their back. If I were a betting man though I'd put the release mid to late 2020.
EDIT: Added a relevant quote from this eurogamer article to support my "about three years of development" claims.
I think it was about 4 or 5 years, but if you watch the dev diaries, a lot of that time went into researching tech/finding cheaper ways to do established things/building their own stuff to make it happen on the cheap, etc. I imagine their next project would be much faster.
EDIT I was way off, it was three years. As said here:
It's also worth mentioning that it came out almost exactly three years after being announced (Aug 12 2014 announce - Aug 8 2017 release)

I seriously doubt we will see two games from them. Hope I'm wrong though.
I really Hope we dont get two NT games. Bleeding Edge already looks cool. Show some new partnerships!
It is not based on a one trailer. We know Phil Spencer said they would have 14 Xbox Game Studios games. If we start ticking off games we know are coming from Xbox Games studios already and have a good shot of being shown, it leaves a very small amount of opportunities few new exciting single player experiences. This is a new IP which is great to see, but that now takes a slot of "new experiences" MS will show. Hopefully there are still options for new SP games. I also recognize my preferences are not everyones. But I reject the idea I'm trolling. Xbox is my main platform, have been on since day one, was a beta tester for live and have 10's of thousands of gamer score. I just want to see them A) do well and B) make more new games I like to play.
To me he means this isn't even close to the megaton category.
One from someone that is trying to reveal nothing. Like that ass hole leaker should have.
Quoting for a new page, as my initial post was way off and I edited in more info. Didn't want it to get lost at the bottom of a page.
They are a small studio. They made Hellblade with 20 people, when they were acquired by Microsoft they grew a lot and then split their studio into 4 Hellblade-sized teams because they would prefer to make more Hellblade-sized games than combine all of their people to create one big game that takes 4-5 years to come out.
Uh what? It could have been a simple yes or no to if it was one of the megatons. Instead he says that he knew the game existed.... yay? lol
Responding to the actual question being asked wouldn't be leaking anything
All of that is fine, but you specifically said, "MS: We are acquiring new studios and letting them go to work!......to create a generic 4x4 MP GaaS.... ".
That's what I was targeting with my reply. Based on one leaked video your post implies you are assuming that Microsoft is only focusing on mp games. I apologize if I misunderstood you. As I previously said, feel free to speculate before any announcements are made.
LOL!
If anything, that's his polite way of saying Bleeding Edge looks like ass.
He means he knew about the game, but that's not the megaton he was referring to
I don't really see how MS announcing a new first-party game is supposed to be a megaton... If Ninja Theory revealed some massive AAA single player game, I still wouldn't consider that a megaton.
Maybe cause he asked was it a "megaton" , doesn't look huge to me. Also seems like most insiders already knew about this game, a megaton to me would be something completely wild and unexpected.
Fair enough. My post is obviously a generalization based on the recent leak. It is clearly not everything they have. I would just love to see another Hellblade-esq or bigger type game when there is a new reveal, not another MP focused one but I get this is all my personal preference. I'm sure there will be more to show, but I can only go by what I have seen so far. If we are lucky nothing else more will leak and I can watch with a drink in hand and everyone can be pleasantly surprised.
I'm not here to fight you, but what MS Studio games so far do we know are guaranteed to show up on the floor? I'd actually be surprised if Gears Pop showed up, it's already been announced and it's not really the kind of game to make a lot of fanfare about other than for the announcement. And Gears Tactics and Age of Empires are both 50/50 as far as I'm concerned, they could be at the PC Gaming show, or could not show up until Gamescom. So far this is what I was able to come up with as 100% going to be on the stage, please fill in any slots I missed
- Halo Infinite
- Gears 5
- Ori 2
- Bleeding Edge
- Forza Horizon 4
- Battletoads
- The Outer Worlds
- Wasteland III
- Sea of Thieves (Probably)
Hmm
I mean I know (and anyone who has been paying attention knows) that MS has lots of teams working on games.
But most around the internet seem to think Gears halo and forza are the only games MS will ever have or announce.
I thought Rare said SOT wasn't going to be on floor?
Seriously tho! I watched it cause I have no chill but, the last word I'd use to describe that trailer is generic. That shit looks hot! NT throwing bangers out here!
Nah, it was clearly not trying to say "Yes" or "No" by just saying he knew about the game and leaving it there. Its a really silly way of answering that sort of thing that doesn't hint at anything else lol
I imagine Minecraft will show up in some capacity as well.
Sea of Thieves has its own E3 stream according Mixer E3 the next day. I don't think they will be there.
Rare in their last video said they are going to be on inside Xbox to promote the anniversary update, in the video before they said thats all they would be doing at E3. So they're not in the conference this year, as they have said they aren't ready to talk about whats next as they are still in the middle of planning it.
It sounds like Dungeons info will be saved for Minecon, as will the next update and earth has already been shown at Apple's conference. So I doubt it.
Hmm hard to say, I can't see Earth simply because they have shown the trailer as well as demonstrated it the other day on Apples conference, Dungeons would have to be the obvious one considering we've only got one brief trailer.
User Warned: Trolling over a series of posts in this thread
That Ninja Theory looks like Dookie
I hope they also bring a singleplayer 3rd person narrative driven real GOTY Contender EXCLUSIVE to E3 along with this Bleeding Edgy
Okay, being honest now, the game looks bad because of the Rage + Fallout Aestethic, i was expecting some PVP action with an artstyle inspired on Mass Effect and Warframe, not this shit.

I would be ok with a Minecraft Earth trailer with some info when the beta is starting and then a gameplay demo of Dungeons
I totally understand. I hope MS announces several games that you really look forward to!
Long ass time as far as I remember. They put out dev diaries For years
As I posted upthread, they announced it in Aug 2014 and released it in Aug 2017. Dominic Mathews says three years in the acquisition video - my thinking is that some pre-production was done beforehand (they'd need to have something to announce, after all), and three years was the production period.
Updated list given new information:
- Halo Infinite
- Gears 5
- Ori 2
- Bleeding Edge
- Forza Horizon 4
- Battletoads
- The Outer Worlds
- Wasteland III
- AOE 4
- Minecraft (Maybe)
