I doubt they step away from 60fps at minimum for all versions.

Xbox will have almost 1 XGS game released per month in 2020
- Thread starter Noble
- Start date
Most likely 60fps with a dynamic resolution... As it should be.
I was kinda hoping it's 30fps on current gen so the graphics are better.
User Banned (2 Weeks): Platform Warring; Numerous Prior Bans for Platform Warring
I'm only interested in Halo, Psychonauts 2 and AoEIV all the other small games will probably end up releasing without much fanfare. So yeah Sony was right when they said that blockbusters create the most interest from gamers.
Ori 2 will definitely release with fanfare. Quite a bit of it too.
Can you not bring the platform warring in this thread? Thanks.
------------------
I'm interested in a lot of the games that XGS releases next year, especially Ori 2 which will no doubt be my game of the generation.
FS2020 is going to be interesting game to watch post release. There hasn't been a really good, accessible flight simulator in a while and with the tech they're bringing to the table, it could have a pretty big reception.
Ori, Minecraft, Halo, AoE, Psychonaughts, Forza 2020 are all my expected 1m+ sellers.
Games like bleeding edge, Grounded, Tell me why, battle toads, etc should still have massive user numbers due to gamepass. Such a great year coming up.
I won't be surprised if the X1S version campaign is 30fps like Gears 5.
MS own Tell Me Why, like Ori, ReCore, QB... its an XGS game.
lol what? Your answer to, "we'd like more third person action adventure games" is "not needed" because camera angle does not dictate quality? That's pretty silly. It's a massively popular style of game that many people want more of on Xbox. Perfectly reasonable.
That's true, but that was the first high quality one in a long time. And then what is releasing in 2020 in that category?
Good to see they're bringing out a lot of games next year. Have to say not many of those excite me and most probably have tiny budgets comparable to competitors' efforts though.
But yeah, still good to see. My biggest hope for next gen is that Microsoft invest in new AAA IP.

So far we dont know. But doesnt have be to every time or every year. There are more genre's out there and quality like the other poster said can be in everything.
I know - I realize that. But there should definitely be at least one big AAA third person action adventure game per year IMO. That should be feasible and the expectation. One is not much. There are MANY fans of that genre. 2020 likely not having one is disappointing.
I am more in the line of letting devs make what they want tho. If the next NT game from the Hellblade team is first person instead of third because they wanted to or fits the game more we should be fine with that.
At this point, it's safe to say that the number of Game Pass subscribers is sufficient for pretty much any 1st game to not go unnoticed by the community (unless MS publishes something extremely niche that XGP subscribers won't even bother downloading).
Like, look how Shenmue 3 has just come out after 17 years of wait and didn't sell all that well. Psychonauts 2 will release under similar circumstances next year (a sequel to a cult classic after 15+ years), but unlike Shenmue there will be a LOT more people talking about the game day 1.
I know it's your opinion but just disagree with the sentiment. Just give me great quality titles. But I'm not saying you can't want what you want. I just don't care to have 1 action adventure title per year just like I don't care if MS doesn't release a FPS each year. But hey, your opinion. :)
It's also perfectly reasonable for a line up to be great with out 3rd person action games.
That's great and all and I'm looking forward to gears tactics and wasteland. But I see only one triple A game there in halo. That isn't looking quite great tbh
Well, Flight Sim is a triple A simulator. =P
While I understand some peoples fascination with big blockbuster games, I prefer a diverse lineup where each year there is something to enjoy for everyone. There will be blockbuster franchises each year (we don't even know the Scarlett launch line up) but also smaller titles for fans of platformers, isometric RPG's, survival games, real time strategy games, etc. That's how you build a subscription service for everyone.
Do agree that they need at least one blockbuster title per year. But we got that with Gears 5 this year - and we'll get Halo Infinite next year. (And Age of Empires 4 for PC players in 2021)
Wasteland 3 is AAA
Flight Simulator is AAA
I think Ori this time is also being treated as AAA
But they're not third person action adventure games! They clearly don't count.
I think XGS is going to have at least another Triple A game for Project Scarlett launch.
The "something for everyone" strategy can only work if Microsoft releases top quality games in their respective genres. Eg. inXile should start doing games that realistically compete with Larian, CD Projekt Red etc.
I agree. Although inXile just needs to be top quality in the type of RPG they make although I wouldn't be surprised if they evolve to more console type RPG's.
There's no real definition on what a AAA game is but most people would not consider these games AAA. If you consider them AAA you might aswell use the term AAAA for stuff like Gears 5 & Halo as there's clearly a large gap in budget & marketing between the these games and your list.
I hope scarlett has secretly a PGR 5 in the works having a forza Motorsport for 2021 and an horizon in 2022. Could it be outsourced to the studio that was bought by codemasters with ex bizarre creations employees and assesorarion from playground and turn 10? Edimburg has a lot of PGR feelings!
Although I generally agree with this.
I do think Flight Simulator 2020 has Triple A resources and will be a huge game on PC.
Microsoft owns the Tell Me Why IP? I wasn't aware of that. Wonder if this means more collaborations with DontNod?
What do we think a triple A budget is these days? $30-$60m? Not to reductive about the hard work and challenges that go into making simulators of any kind, but this flight simulator is different in that it's a game that leverages pre-existing Microsoft service API data to stream in and generate its visuals. I don't think that would necessarily require a AAA budget.
Eh I think of a variety of factors when considering something triple A or not. Its mass appeal, manpower required, budget, price, graphics, etc.
I dunno if some would consider the game AA, but to me it's for sure a AAA title.
The graphical quality and high production values and the amount of marketing MS will give it for PC/Xbox. The game is going to be massive on PC.
Just look at YT views for FS 2020. Just a quick look and taking stuff from the first page.

You are being dismissive of all the work that goes into the Sim and you point out one thing that is part of the simulation and imply it is not AAA based off of that fact. The data about the weather and the maps is just one portion of what goes into it. Do we reduce other AAA games because they have tools that make trees and hills easier than handcrafting them? I don't think so.
It's a great and nicely varied line-up. Looking forward to Psychonauts 2, Ori, Gears Tactics, Wasteland 3 and Tell Me Why. The last in particular I'm very pleased to see as a part of the Xbox Games Studios line-up, since they've been lacking story focused games.
The jury is still out on Battletoads, but fingers crossed it's good, so for me the only disappointment would be Grounded. Hot damn, is that not what I want from Obsidian :(

Only Third-person, over-the-shoulder, action-adventurer with shooter elements, set in a mythological or dystopian future counts as real games.
Grounded is from 13 people at Obsidian. You can look forward to a Triple A Obsidian RPG for next gen.
