The US/UK name is New Providence. If in Italy, the subtitle is Campaign, then does that mean they are splitting campaign and multiplayer into two games again?
I said a long time ago, I suspected the Campaign and Multiplayer was separate based off their strange wording on it and that multiplayer would be f2p. I kinda hopped off that train but I might be hopping back on it with this news..

It was New Providence in Italy too until this morning, and I just checked, it's got this name in US too now: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/crackdown-3/9p1hxthz28cb

And yep, I'm assuming there's going to be a split. Look at the feature tags in the page, there's no mention of multiplayer, just co-op:

Single player
Xbox Live online co-op (2)
Xbox Live cross-platform co-op
HDR10 4K Ultra HD
Variable Refresh Rate
Xbox Live achievements
Xbox Live presence
Xbox Live clubs
Xbox Live cloud saves
Xbox Play Anywhere
Xbox One X Enhanced

Co-op got downgraded? Oof. It used to be 4 player co-op.

btw if the wrecking zone is going to be in another package, and maybe like fortnite is going to be f2p.
It could be interesting for the cloud computing spread across the public.
I will pay for a pve mode in thet setting, destroing hordes of zombies under a crushed scyscraper

It still mentions Wrecking Zone if you scroll down but on the capabilities section it used to say 10 player online multiplayer and the description also mentioned this, both of these have been removed.

This could mean it's still a thing but releasing separately.
yes, I agree with you on this, the title "campaign" is clear, maybe it was used to cover the "new providence" former subtitle.

Really excited to see what this brings. Am 'an Xbox guy' but currently only have a ps4 base model (had to give my Scorpio back when I left my old job)... Really want to see some good Xbox exclusive news to justify getting a x1x again. Will probably end up buying one on black Friday just for the best rdr2 experience anyway whatever happens!

Red Dead 2 is truly mind blowing on the Xbox One X, pretty much worth it for that if you are a big time gamer. But of course everything else looks and runs amazing on it too.

I've got two young kids so I get a few hours a week max. Still probably worth it, but have god of war and spiderman coming for Xmas so basically looking for some fun Xbox news to give me an excuse to get one despite the backlog I already have

Despite that the things we knew were pretty interesting, not crazy like they turned out to be, but we discovered acquiring pgg, that there was a team in South California, the first suspects of the three gears games.
But compared to previous ones it was a remarkable improvement hahaha
Considering how many people should have to be involved in all those aquisitions and partnerships they had a lot of things we hadn't heard about

yes but if you're involved in a partnership you had to respect the nda.
And the acquisitions are not the kind of things that drunk squirrel could read from xlive's api

Cross-posting:


Stats are already up for Crackdown 3, playtime, number of orbs, achievements, leaderboards (enemies killed, races), etc.

Phil Spencer didn't say much during FanFest presentation other than "We have a bunch of news that we're going to be dropping this weekend. Will be a good show for Xbox fans."

Matt Booty segment quote for those who can't watch:
"YEAH! GEARS! HALO! FORZA! But we also know that you want BRAND NEW games which is why we announced at E3 we ARE ADDING FIVE NEW STUDIOS! YEAH! In 2019, we're going to have Crackdown 3 in February, then we're going to have a new Ori, then the BRAND NEW Minecraft Dungeons, AND OF COURSE... LATER IN 2019, GEARS 5. We also have some GREAT news to tune into tomorrow and we highly recommend you watch Inside Xbox for further exciting news about first party!"

Holy shit Matt Booty has so much energy. Like the way he talks is so much hyper than Phil.

At 16:44, there is a Matt Booty (Head of MS Studios) segment. Also in English.
At 17:20, he called Forza Horizon 4 the "highest rated console exclusive of this generation"?

Is that true? I don't think it is. Then goes on to talk about Sea of Thieves' 5 million players and State of Decay 2's 4 million players. It's really odd to see MS put weight in critic scores when it suits them, but seconds later ignore them for games that review poorly, choosing to focus on other areas.

Fascinating that Booty did mention Minecraft Dungeons, but didn't mention Battletoads. The latter is an Xbox game supposed to release in 2019, while the former is only announced for pc yet.

For Xbox, it is by far the highest rated console exclusive for this gen.

FH4 got a 93, for comparison BTW, Halo 5 got an 84. That's almost a 10 point difference.
I know how the game rated dudes. Matt Booty didn't say anything to do with it being for Xbox in particular though. You can't deliver an asterisk pointing to small print in a speech, which is why he should have said, "for Xbox". Heck, that was just me being particular, I think they need to be more careful when saying this stuff you know. If someone made a thread on ERA that made that claim, it wouldn't last and the title would receive a mod edit (for good reason). Details matter when you're making claims.
