Whatever Obsidians game will be will be a small title, Rare could be a AAA
Could be they finally are allowing FFXIV for XBox. It would make sense since they are finally fixing the biggest barrier to entry soon (ARR's story bloat) to ease the entry for new players.
That'd be great. Especially if it's a title that gets XCloud support.
That's possible, but probably won't be announced until after the PS4 version releases.
My guess is FFXIV.
Wait, really? What are they doing? I guess I mean, how are they going about it?
Sounds like they're gonna remove or streamline a lot of the content found in the 2.1-2.55 story, which is a bloated mess. It's something like 100 quests in between ARR and Heavensward, most of it pointless fetch quests. They're supposed to implement it sometime early next year.
Most likely they will be, I expect all of the scarlett games to be cross-gen with major enhancements if you have the scarlett system. Same thing as the x enhanced games that we currently have.
Oh that's awesome!! I'm working my way through ARR right now.
Would be pleasantly surprised if they show next gen Scarlett games tomorrow. Not sure if I'd be watching though, considering it's going to be one hell of a busy morning.
Haha did that happen to be George Kelion? He was Rare's community manager at the time of N&B's reveal and release. He used to post on NeoGAF all the time back then lol. He left Rare about a decade ago though. Seemed like a pretty cool guy.
Most likely! I was still just a lurker on GAF at the time, but that's where I knew of the Rare community manager - maybe I got their Gamertag from GAF and reached out on XBL. Probably sent the most overzealous teenage fan message to them, drenched in the cringey ironic details I shared above.
Honestly, id prefer if Perfect Dark went 3rd person stealth. But then, given Sony have multiple 3rd person story heavy SP games, there's no reason why MS cant hold on to the "home" of multiple great SP FPS games. Halo, PD, Outer Worlds would provide a decent selection, for a range of genre's. I've always thought 343i visual style and flair of Halo 4 would translate well into a PD game (obviously more grounded), but its unlikely they'd be working on anything but Halo. But then there's slipspace engine.... Give that to Rare and let them worry about design :P
This and whatever is coming to Gamepass next is all I care about. RARE is up in the air for me.
Nice :)
And some info if there will be acquisitions? especially a Japanese studio?
I don't know what to think. My heart is telling me it's a 3D platformer akin to Rare's glory days but my mind is telling me it's not.
Rare should create a game where the objective is to send a crew of swashbuckling pirates on a mission-based quest through time, each stage a subtle objective to interfere with and ultmately stop Shigeru Miyamoto from ever getting inspired enough to create Starfox. Have the final stage be the entire Dinosaur Planet game as originally intended. A hacked up N64-like terrible looking and playing piece of garbage by today's standards.
It would be art. Perfect for Gamepass.
I'd buy that for a dollar.

Sounds like a hell of a show, two new IP and it isn't even E3. I won't let myself get hyped but I hope for good things. Full scale AAA Rare sounds great.
Of course.
This happens EVERY Xbox gen. They have all the best exclusives loaded generally to the front of a console lifecycle but are often criticised for their lack of exclusives towards the end.
This is in contrast to one of their competitors who is generally regarded as having a weaker line up towards the start but towards the end of a console cycle are known for some of the best exclusives.
It should therefore come as no surprise that Xbox will come out with a bunch of great exclusives in the near future.

Xbox has never been this well stocked with studios, so no, it's entirely different than before. You still have The Coalition, Playground, The Initiative, Turn 10, Obsidian's other team, Rare's other team, Ninja Theory's other team, Compulsion, and Double Fine most likely releasing unannounced games from 2020 to 2023. Combine that with third party exclusives and you could potentially have a big exclusive every quarter.
No, Shared Open World like sot but with more narration and maybe a game design more suited for solo players.
a
MS said their intention was to have at least one first party title releasing every 3 months. Not all will be big, but that's pretty nice
I think xbox is in need of a deep and mature narritive heavy game, if they make a perfect dark game I think it needs to be a reboot, with a dark more serious tone, Jo dark has to have some conflict both in her personality and the futuristic blade runner 2049 esque world.
It could just be a new IP, but perfect dark can be mould into a lot of different things.
I think this is the most excited I have been for a Microsoft event.
I don't even own a XBOX but the hype is real.

What do you think the chances are that they will be both play anywhere titles. I would get them on pc for sure.
Have we had any strong indication that it is likely? I personally think they are in a great place to keep pumping out Gamepass content now.
Matt Booty will be there and every event he attended had an acquisition announcement.
Hopefully I see something cool from Microsoft tomorrow. I wanna support them but their aim usually doesn't line up with mine.
To be fair, he's overseeing Xbox Games Studios, which means he has to be there anyway. It's a showcase of 12 games from his teams, including two never-before-seen IP.
I'm not saying they won't announce any acquisition, just saying that at some point his presence won't obviously include such a reveal.
That doesn't mean anything really. He's replaced Phil Spencer as head of Xbox Game Studios so him going to these events is going to be standard going forward, acquisition or not.
Just check fir how long tis has been in production and that at least 60 to 100 devs worked on it since SoT two years ago
