You're probably right, that was one of the main reasons I waited so long to play it.

Head of xCloud heading to Gamescom. Wonder if an announcement related to it is coming.
Agreed. It's not even Gears that is bad. It just seems like a lot of people dismiss the game because we're on Gears 5-6. I know for me, someone who hasn't played the old Gears, it never interested me to jump into Gears 5 without knowing wtf is going on.
I think the super long numbered series only works well when each game is it's own story. Like Final Fantasy. I would be cool with Gears going in that direction.
I might be wrong, but don't think he's the head of xCloud. I want to say the touch controls guru?
Yeah that's why I haven't touched it. The series ran out of steam for me and I moved on. That's why I was hoping they would God if War it and make something significantly different, purely for my own selfish reasons. I wouldnt have given God of War the time of day if it weren't for that. It's why I want a halo rpg as well :p
Gears of War fans seem to like it though, so that is what is important.
Gears 5 has a whole heap of structural problems because of the open world stuff that doesn't gel, but when it works, it's a great game.
It doesn't affect Xbox:

Same. I think I posted before but this game is no joke on insane. Was doing a Gears series campaign run and when I got to 5 I decided for some stupid reason to play through on insane. I'm in Act 3, Chapter 2. I'll get stuck on an encounter for months lol though I only go to it once every few weeks. Before the campaign run I must have put 60-70 hours into Gears 5 multiplayer though. Love me some Gears!
I also expect the big boys to be further delayed. Starfield holiday 2023.
I doubt, Microsoft already announced this, they just need to release the feature.
Delays are now happening every month, even games with dates!, this is industry wide. The only saving grace is that 2023 is so stacked that the unannounced games that might have hit next year now have some breathing room on their dates, this snowball effect should mean a healthy amount of games and less delays every year going forward (fingers crossed).
I can see that, specially with the insane scope that game is going for, they should take all the time they want
Even that doesn't mean much Warhammer Darktide was just delayed and that had a date for September
How dare you even breath a suggestion of such heresy.
To be fair, I think most people in this forum have come to acknowledge this reality. Not so much in the broader gaming discourse sphere. But "knowing and understanding" nonetheless doesn't equal "coming to peace with" for many haha.
I don't know. I feel like the pandemic stretched all those dates out as well. If they were originally planned for fall 2023 now they'd be summer 2024. Maybe eits just pessimism at this point but I don't have this feeling that 2023 is going to be stacked with unannounced games.
We were told when the pandemic started that the games slated for 2022/2023 would get the big delays, not the ones coming out in 2020/2021. Some people think that because they can go outside without a mask it means that those months/years of no outsourcing, voice acting, motion capture, are now magically restored.
We don't need new consoles (other than mid gen refreshes) for a lo-ong time to come.
What's the point in new hardware in say 4-5 years when most devs will have barely cranked out 1 game in that time?
Hell it doesn't even feel like this gen has properly begun for either of the new consoles.
I feel with the resource squeeze and hybrid working, dates they though they would hit with ease in 2023, have become more problematic, from an Xbox point of view their are def unannounced titles due to hit in 2023, but i think due to current delays and the 6 already announced first party titles due for 2023, the unannounced ones may get some breathing room or internal delays, this is all guessing on my part?
I see Fable coming out this gen Playground seem pretty consistent even though an RPG is a whole different ball game to a racer.
As for Everwild I will just be happy if it doesn't get cancelled at this point.
I still think there will be a PS6/Xbox Series XXX in 2028 or 2029.
If it's true that Playground still has ~130 job openings, it's very likely that Fable is still in early pre-production.
Indeed. They're years away.
Everwild 2024?
State of decay 2024?
Fable 2025?
Yeah it sounds like State of Decay is ages away. Undead Labs had all those culture issues that impeded development. When you factor in covid as well, that thing is years off at this point.
i can see fable being released in the second half of 2024, because i think playground games has a very well defined game production methodology/philosophy (much more than rare or undead labs), but if they need more time, there's no reason for ms not to give it to them! (fable seems to be a very ambitious game).
Well Fable got some kind of reboot in 2020 and with covid on top of that, 2024 might be a stretch? Who knows I guess. It took the first Horizon zero dawn roughly six years to make I believe, and while I am not necessarily comparing the games themselves, I only bring them up because Guerilla was working on a genre they were unfamiliar with and had to staff up to accomplish that, much like playground. And that six years was before covid.

Phil personally making a visit, acquisition incoming?
Mike always seems very positive about Game Pass so would likely be a perfect fit.
