Matt Booty: Xbox studio exclusives won't be 90 hour AAA games but as close to AAA as possible.

If they can keep games like Gears 5 and The Outer Worlds coming then I'm 100% down for that.

Somehow this is supposed to be bad ....??

Edit: Outer Worlds was literally my favourite game from 2019.

Xbox has always had a triad or one or two solid games thy relied on and rest of first party were trash which is why they always get slammed with lack of creativity so thts not saying much. Gears 5 was meh BTW, decent to good but not great imo. If most games will be recore and state of decay levels of gaming thy can keep tht shit.

I'm looking out for Fable though👀👀 They can get me into their eco system at least wuth tht game.

Um... FLIGHT SIMULATOR??? Why no love for flight simulator? I can’t wait to play this on my series x! Will be amazing!

I copied and pasted the list from Klobrille but he did say it didn't include every game because of Twitter's character limit. I have no interest in Flight Simulator but it does in fact look fucking amazing!!!

Ask me about my fanboy energy!
He confirmed the "ambitious" part but not the AAA bit.

People should get their expectations in check. Inxile have never been about AAA.
AAA is literally in their job posting
  • Experience with large, AAA teams and distributed/remote development
Also, InXile(along with Undead Labs and Compulsion Games) is growing rapidly with new hires under Microsoft.

Well I mean not everything is for everyone, but I think the teams behind SoD and Recore have potential.

I thought Sunset Overdrive was a bit crap tbh, but there's no doubt the studio is first rate and Sony did well to snag 'em.

If it builds on Fable one and two sign me up!! If it's like Fable 3 .... maybe not so much.

@Mod of War when we simply get topic to raise war can't we ban the OP? As always the news was manipulated, it's getting quite tiresome to read this forum. I love console war but this is getting quite out of hand

Interesting take. Calling for mods to ban me because I posted a video clip that actually wasn't taken out of context. Sure, looking back, I should have put the title as "recently acquired studios". Obviously, there are studios working on AAA games and anyone with more than one brain cell knows that.

The very point is that recently acquired studios aren't going to be making games like God of War or Spiderman. Something I found interesting and somewhat disappointing.

Also, if you want to boil this down "muh console wars" look at my post history, Einstein. I'm a huge Xbox fan.
 
Most of Microsoft's acquisitions were smaller scale studios, I mean when you think about it Sony's one acquisition, Insomniac games, next game will probably sell more than most of Microsoft's new studios next games combined.

The hope is Microsoft's acquisitions are able to grow and make bigger games than they have in the past.

I have no problem with this. I choose smaller games like Untitled Goose Game, Cuphead, Subnautica, Ori and so on over high budget cinematic walking sims at anytime.

So your ok with paying xxx for 12TFP machine that MS wont make triple A games for.....
You can play those on an xbox one x that came out 3 years ago

10 out of 11 games sold on ps4 are multiplatform. guess what the split will be on XSX, the best platform for multiplatform games next gen?

Same as right now though right? The xbox one x is stronger than the PS4 pro?
Apart from Resident evil 3 has better frame rate on the ps4 pro.....

I also loved Limbo and Inside. Seriously, more fun and better experience than 99% of all AAA games.

Well for PS the exclusives seem to be the tipper for many. Maybe you buy all third parties but want that one exclusive. Are you gonna go for a platform that plays the third parties marginally better, the one that has a whole game you want but can't get on the other (even if it's only 1/11th of your collection, or both? I don't think most will get both because of 100% overlap in third parties it would be redundant. X1X doesn't seem to be able to convince people for the few extra pixels and the difference will be even less noticable next gen as the numbers continue to go higher and the difference is smaller. If i want 4k gaming and a big exclusive for PS5 I'm not going to bother with a whole nother console or ignore a game I want.

This panned out in the 5th and 6th gen and in the second half of the 8th. Hell PS3's power wasn't realized except in exclusives so we can say it sold on those too especially being more expensive the whole gen. So basically 4 straight gens of this strategy working makes me think it'll work again.

Shitposts every xbox thread. Mod comes in and look at his shift in tone smh.

OT: I had taken the thread title at face value since I couldn't read through all of it or watch the full video. Im just looking forward to seeing some games.

Saw a "AAA State of Decay" mention. Honestly after the first I'd of been hyped af but 2 was absolute trash and I have no expectations of Undead Labs anymore.

Mostly want to see the new Fable Fable already.

I would have made the same post with or without this thread... because it has been true for over a decade and nothing they have shown points to the opposite....

Why have threads then?

Lets just throw out opinions that are barely related to the topic without reading anything anyone else has said. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go into the Animal Crossing thread and share my opinions on God of War.

Halo 5 is apparently twice the size of Halo 4 's campaign (and it started bigger)

The Initiative, "AAA"

Xbox Game Studios 'The Initiative' talks 'staying small, staying agile'

Well Mass Effect took me about 25 hours to play through the first time, whereas Andromeda took about 95 if I recall.

I liked Andromeda for what it was... But I'm sure you see where this is going. I'll take shorter, more replayable games almost any day of the week.

This is the opposite of what Sony said. Sony are going for a few lesser titles but increasing the budgets of their AAA games and they'll have the 3rd party exclusives

Imo the shorter the better.
I want more quality. A good short game can be repeated tens is times. Like hl2 or Max payne 2
