Ha, I'd be more surprised if it releases in 2021 than 2022, but fingers crossed Bethesda is ready for launch.
I just hope that it's polished when it launches. The last thing I'd want is for them to rush it out before crushing all those bugs.

Why would they do this when the games play differently from each other?
I don't think they'll ever announce that early again. They only did it because they knew a multiplayer only Fallout game would piss people off, and they didn't want 3-4 more years of people hounding them about Starfield and 5-7 more years of people asking about TES6. They'll definitely go back to announcing as close to release as possible after this
Cyberpunk had One S/ One X/ PS4/ Pro/ Stadia/ PC versions. And there was some little things done when running on Series s|x and PS5 in bc mode (60fps), so 6-8. Starfield will only be Series S|X and PC; 3 different versions.
i don't care if it doesn't even come out this year, it would be nice to finally get details on the game at the very least
Yes. All Microsoft releases should have day 1 release on Steam going forward.
Not great. Improvements have been made, especially aight the Xbox App launcher but people still have issues, etc etc.
Thanks. One last question, can you play offline when using the Windows Client?
I want lion ramparts with control-lift like feeling which is unrealistic haha.
Yeah, but we know FM is using the new Forzatech and they said from the start it's a long way off. If FH5 came out this year I would assume it's cross gen using similar engine to FH4, which is the only way it's feasible. It would seem odd to go more than 3 years with no FM or FH, but maybe they're happy to just put out another expansion for FH4 instead. If there's no FH5 I would expect that. I think the series is too popular to not either release a new one or provide more content (beyond new cars).
If there isn't the blowback will be bad, the Windows store is notoriously terrible.
Yes and windows gaming is still trash. Maybe one day they'll fix it. I don't have my hopes up though.
It's really gonna suck if the GamePass PC version of Starfield ships without proper mod support. I feel like they announced they were implementing some kind of solution for that on the Windows Store ages ago, but nothing of substance seems to have materialised.
Now that is not something I expect to happen, they would be very stupid to do that.
I did enjoy the fast turn around on announce-to-release on Fallout 4 and 76, though neither game lived up to my hopes (I still enjoyed much of Fallout 4 though).
Starfield isn't quite the same, having been announced a good long while ago now, but short reveal-to-release would be nice.

I'm not fussed if it comes out this year or next year, I'd prefer it not to be rushed.
Bethesda are well know for releasing janky and buggy games, I'm curious to see if Starfield will be another buggy mess at launch or will Microsoft make sure they polish it up before releasing.

Its odd to have relative radio silence from the teams that made Forza a annual tradition. We have some details on Forza Motorsport like its playable and that they have tested the new driving model, along with new tech, and that cars like the Koenigsegg Jesko and Corvette V8 were likely scanned with their new laser scanning equipment but nothing that we can see or experience
I agree with your overall sentiment. Better to have marquee games spread out. But Halo was originally scheduled for 2020 release. Only one marquee game, COVID or not, released from 2020 into early 2022 would seemingly be a lack of proper planning. Microsoft is having more than just Halo release in 2021 (in regards to a big marquee game).
Why can't one market two games at once? Halo was supposed to release last year, and Starfield will be published by Bethesda which will have their own marketing push.
I know Fallout 4 took around 5 months to finally get mod tools. I wouldn't hope for them at launch.
To clarify, while in dev in 2016, it did not habve the full attention of Beth Maryland until 2018. But that's still a fairly decent dev cycle, 2 years of limited production and 3 years of all-hands-on-deck.
Ugh. They're going to make me buy an SX before Xmas aren't they lol. I already picked up the PS5 and was hoping I wouldn't have to spend big again till next year
A lot of people aren't aware of that for some reason, I mean we've known about the trademark since 2016.
If only the web version was available, id be able to play a bit more of what the three libraries have to offer
True. Hopefully soon. I know I'd get a lot more use out of it if I could load it up on my laptop
The idea that Microsoft cares about unit sales over subscription revenue is old dead thinking. Subscription is the game up and down the company -- thus the push to get all their business customers on Azure, etc. There is no reason for them to care about unit sales, they don't need the money for anything short term, they need to hit the long term recurring revenue strategy.
Horizon 5 being (possibly) cross-gen should be expected, and not a reason for concern in my opinion. Their engine works well on Xbox One (running at 30fps at least) while still scaling up nicely to 4k60 on PC and Series X.
Im not focused on the resolution/frame rate. I'd like to see Playground push forward with FH5 and build it from the ground up around the Series much more powerful CPU and SSD. I'll play it either way but that's my preference.
Has there been any word on when they're going to replace the Xbox One S servers they use for Xcloud with something more powerful (hopefully XSX)?
They've confirmed it will be XSX SoCs, original rumor was for them to replace them this year. With covid and the issue with getting things getting produced currently that may be pushed back.
