Man I really hope the new forza is splitscreen like the last one. I used to treat these games like madden because it was fun to race an compete against friends irl.

Did they just low-key give a release window for Forza Motorsport? All these games are coming in "the next few months", which I take it to be I'll be playing the new Motorsport game in April (at the latest). I was honestly expecting it to be closer to late Spring/early Summer at best.
 
There has been a yearly Forza release from 2011 to 2018, alternating between Motorsport and Horizon. And then another Horizon game between then and now, and another Motorsport game on the horizon (no pun intended).

This series has 7 Motorsport entries and 5 Horizon entries.

Big fucking whoop that the last Motorsport game was in 2017, when there's so many of them.
LMFAO! You incorrectly criticized Forza Motorsport for being a yearly release, and then moved the goal post to a release after six years is equally not a big deal. I think we all know you hate Forza Motorsport and probably will never play it. But this is potentially the biggest console racing release of the generation.

It's like Fortnite, most people here don't give a shit but it's one of the biggest things in gaming 🤷‍♂️

So, me and the Mrs were away for a night out yesterday for her birthday. My son is 16, he goes to the gym, he is a typical teenager and a real good kid...I'm super proud of him. He asked if he could have two mates around while we are away. I was cool with that.

Got back today, house is mint...I checked the Ring cameras and all was good. Two friends come around, all being nice with my dog etc.....

so, I asked him today what they did as theres three of my xbox controllers on the table in the front room.....

...."we played minecraft all night"...that's when i realised how big minecraft still is.....

....and that my son is probably a pot head!

What is a starfield?
It may refer simply to a field of stars 😉

NASA and astrophysicists use the term to determine a particular area of the sky to research by taking a bunch of images with a telescope like the Hubble or James Webb.

Which you can then put together to create an image of the whole field.

This field is in the Ursamajor constellations of stars, and covers about a 1/24-millionth area of the view around us.

James Webb is a 100 times more powerful than Hubble.

If we get Starfield, Forza and Redfall before the summer, what heavy hitters can we expect for after the summer then?

I'm hoping for Hellblade II and one more. Could be Avowed, State of decay 3 or that project the coalition is working on that's not gears. Guess we'll have to wait for E3 to find out.

When one thinks they’re keeping it real, but it goes wrong.

Think it will be Hellblade 2 and then some smaller games. I think we see a one or two of the XGS published games, maybe just me hoping for Stoic's game.
 
There was a rumor that Sony was trying to get Starfield as well.
Yeah, a "rumor". When you strongly believe in "rumors" they must be true...right?
I dont believe in rumors, they'r is a rumor that the PS5 is leaking when it stands vertical. That was fake. You know what is real?

That the leaders and some staff of Playground studios (Forza) has left MS and are building a new AAA studio (Maverick games) to get creative freedom and make theyr own games. Thats not a rumor but a fact.

So guys, what we guessing for release dates?

If we get these three games in the first 6 months I imagine that would be one hell of a first party release.

Hopefully if we get another 2 or 3 bangers in second half then that would be the greatest release year for MS?
 
Looking forward to this. Really curious to see what they’ve been working on for this long with Forza - got a feeling that’s going to be something special.

As excited for the Gamepass info as anything though.

MS has so many studios now, and so many recognizable IP that while yeah, they need time to get their shit together and have everything working in harmony, it has been so long since an ACTUAL good first party game release, or an actual, meaty showing of an interesting game, that patience is running dry.
I play on Xbox and my patience is fine. Do you even play on Xbox ?

Do you know what thread you're in? They literally just announced a showcase where they'll give you a meaty showing of a bunch of games coming out soon...

ESO seriously lmao

You realize a shit ton of people play that game, right? I'll never understand why people don't understand MMOs or Live Service games in general, tend to have major expansion packs that are considered major new releases. Elder Scrolls Online New Expansion Packs are released at the start of each new year generally.

Are people forgetting Bethesda is now part of Xbox, and Elder Scrolls Online is one of their biggest properties? This means anything new from Elder Scrolls Online will be relevant to a Bethesda showcase.

Release dates for Redfall and Forza are what I’m looking for. I’ll be playing them on Game Pass any way, so it’s not like I require any convincing. Hopefully they are provided at this show.

Hope we get some Forza pc footage personally. Want to see what RT settings that they have for the big boy GPU's.

Yup this would be amazing. Hope they have some real nvidia rtx but maybe due to amd gpus in console they'll pass up.

I just want an amazing console and pc version that I can use my wheel on. Just bought a shifter too in expectation of it.

so what ur saying is that people shouldnt be excited for spider man 2 direct either because its just a sequel right ?
What I am saying is that I think this is a meh show, regardless of what other people think, and I expected more out of it.

I thought that was implicit that any comment that doesn't have actual, provable facts is by extention an opinion. And that I am allowed to express my opinion, even if people think it is full of shit.
