Console exclusives]*

Yes we get it Microsoft is utilising the biggest and most sensible ecosystem they can and not being idiotic

 

[Miles X]

Gears 5

Ah yes. I mean at some point they will come unstuck.

2017 - Forza 7
2018 - Sea of Thieves, Halo 6, Horizon
2019 - Gears, Forza 8
2020 - Horizon
2021 - Forza 9

Ect.

[Mikey Jr.]

I remember like a few E3 shows ago, didn't he say they are investing in 5 new triple a studios or something?>

I cant remember the exact quote.

 

[dracula_x]

no, like xenoblade c 2 or mario odissey

or like Zelda

"A shortened hype cycle" indeed.

I think Metroid is one of the few IP that really needed an early announcement.

The point is that Switch is not 3DS, so get ready for delays or early announcements, especially for big titles. Nintendo is not different, we saw that already with Zelda and Xenoblade Chronicles X.

 

[Liliana Eileen]

Show us or shut up Phil. He's so full of shit.

pretty much

*Yawn* A bit late isn't it?

Gee whiz, known Sony superfans being really negative about Xbox? You don't say! /s

Get outta here with that shit. Phil has done a lot to right the ship. Yes, PR will PR, but he's a pretty good guy and I'm glad he's head of Xbox.

 

[BigPapi]

The year after will likely have nothing from First paty apart from Forza 8.

And maybe gears and anything they just started this year and had a 2 year long dev time

A billion dollars, loads of new studio logos leaked, you had Victoria, Vancouver ect.

Remember Lift London teasing a game for years?

Literally nothing has come of any of it.

And maybe gears and anything they just started this year and had a 2 year long dev time

Started with who?? lol

 

[borges]

The year after is 2019, that perfectly fits the 2 to 3 year window Spencer mentioned.

2018 - Sea of Thieves, Halo 6, Horizon

2021 - Forza 9

Ect.

You left out many 2017 games

 

[TheUnsunghero26]

But I thought he didn't like exclusive deals?

Wait, signed? So exclusives from third-party's?

What about the first party stuff?


Apologies if I misread, I'm ill right now.

Signed exclusives?

Thought he was against that on Monday.

He's referring to First party games from external studios. Games funded and published by Microsoft. Every publisher "signs" games.

We know of at least one game they've signed with Studio GOBO.

 

[Jumeira]

Sounds like I'm the only person excited to get an XOX for multiplats. Much higher chance of native 4k and even 60fps,thats where I'll be playing most of my games.

Mainstream gamers are content with mostly multiplats, charts are dominated by them, the notion theres nothing to play if there's little exclusive is nonsense, 3rd parties provide a stream of games for those focused on one console, they're still enjoying thier machine. Of course exclusives distinguish these machines, but it's not like theyre not coming, probably not at the volume some prefer.

 

[Miles X]

First party I'm specifically talking about, I missed Crackdown though.

 

[blakep267]

Misunderstood your post.

Yes, there will be games to play. Just not enough to differentiate the console's library.

Clearly he knows that. He's referring to games on the platform

 

[Jumeira]

Ah yes. I mean at some point they will come unstuck.

2017 - Forza 7
2018 - Sea of Thieves, Halo 6, Horizon
2019 - Gears, Forza 8

2021 - Forza 9

Ect.

You look like you've been paying attention

 

[borges]

Misunderstood your post.

I think I dont understand your answer either. What specific game or type of game is the console missing, or needing to fill to "differentiate the console's library"? (apart from JRPGs).

Also, missed on that list new Ori 2.

 

[OnionPowder]

I thought that exclusives were holding back the industry or something. Can't keep up with Spencer.

That's not what he meant at all. He doesn't like locking other platforms out of content. Like Destiny 2 players on PC and XB1 getting less content for the same money.

 

[t hicks]

No Point i sounds interesting, hope they show it soon

Same, very intrigued by how this game turns out...

Spoiler

heh

 

[BigPapi]

Started with who?? lol

I dunno but saying that in 2019 the absolute only first party they will have is forza sounds less likely.

 

[Miles X]

Halo Wars 3 maybe?

 

[The Pet of the Month]

I think Phil's hands are tied. He clearly knows Xbox doesn't have enough games, but you see how he passes the buck to Nadella. Microsoft probably doesn't want to give his division the money it needs to develop exclusive games.

Actually, in the same interview Phil mentions that Satya would understand the need to develop first party software. https://youtu.be/_5G4pdbKjWI?t=12m42s

Regardless, I think Spencer has done a fine job branching out the Xbox platform to other devices. I think first party solutions are definitely something he should be working out on, but I also understand games don't just come out the peanut gallery, especially games that a lot of gamers would like to play.

 

[Yearsoflurking]

we really doing list til 2019 da hell😂

 

[Breakage]

By the time the games come out people will be looking towards PS5.

 

[LordBaztion]

Halo 6, Gears 5 and Forza 8.
Really, those exclusives should have been signed early last year and be ready to show next year.

 

[Night Angel]

Also, missed on that list new Ori 2.

What I meant was that it has nothing to recommend it over a competing machine, be that PC (especially PC) or PS4.

 

[JlNX]

I mean I was really trying to go for a debate on whether it's better to announce years out or announce more close releases but whatever, ive made a Phil bashing thread now or something I guess?

I never said you had the intention to bash anyone, but can you not see that the title of thread is completely out of context and portrays that any future games he has coming won't be for another 2-3 years. Portrays something that is false that will cause this sort of fake outrage thread, not to mention that thread title has nothing to do with your intentions of setting up that conversation. If your first thought to my reply was to assume that I was some how calling you a fanboy rather than you looking at the title you wrote and realising the obviously misconstrued title then I don't know what to tell you. I wouldn't misconstrue you as a fanboy SOR5 because I see and read your posting actively in other threads especially xbox threads.

So you mean like how Microsoft won't release the Minecraft update on PS4? Gotcha.

I actually fully thought this was a sarcastic joke, but you are actually being serious. I don't know how to reply to that level of blind psoting, but looking at your post history I won't waste the time

 

[RootCause]

Prediction

Sunset 2
Dead Rising 5
Tomb raider

I got you, I just copied the source article title (poorly) my apologies and I get it

 

[Theslammer]

i suppose you said the same thing about yoshida right?

They gave release dates and windows for eight games, dude, all 2017/2018. There's quite a large difference between Sony's first party line-up this year and next and MS's.

If Sony had just a few games to show after delivering almost nothing this year, I'd be very concerned as a PS4 owner.

 

[iMax]

First party I'm specifically talking about, I missed Crackdown though.

Crackdown is technically second party, as it's being handled by external studios.

If we're just talking about first-party output from Microsoft Studios, Forza Motorsport 7 and Sea of Thieves are the only announced projects currently in development.

 

[AmuroChan]

He says he's against exclusive content where things are exclusive to one version of a game and not available to the other versions of the game.

He didn't say he's against exclusive games period. Why do I need to explain this to people?

He's said in past interviews that he's against third party exclusives and wants to invest in 1st party titles.

Yeah, sounds like your own subjective opinion.

 

[Turbo Killer]

Seriously, does he think Sony is gonna sit around for 3 years?

 

[firelogic]

Listening to this guy talk I'm positive he only says things to get him out of the interview and doesn't think ahead or tells the truth.

He says one thing and changes his mind days later. He'll say something is bad and MS would never do it and then they do it. The guy is a complete joke.

The Pro has games that are native 4K as well as checkerboarded 4K so it's not a true 4K console.

The XOX has games that are native 4K as well as checkboarded 4K so it's clearly the only true 4K console. Why does anyone take this guy seriously?

http://www.techtimes.com/articles/8...s-third-party-exclusive-games-on-xbox-one.htm

he considers games like crackdown 1st party which technically they're.

 

[SmokedMeat]

C'mon Phil, you don't want to announce games with just a title screen to show?

 

[demosthenes]

Xbox two Launch titles.

 

[kadotsu]

C'mon Phil, you don't want to announce games with just a title screen to show?

He just announced 2-3 games with even less.

http://www.techtimes.com/articles/8...s-third-party-exclusive-games-on-xbox-one.htm

There's a difference though between signing a third-party exclusive publishing agreement, such as with Rise of the Tomb Raider, and the funding of a third-party project in exchange for permanent/timed exclusivity, e.g. Titanfall or Dead Rising 3.

I believe it's the latter he's talking about, as opposed to the former.

 

[hawk2025]

He just announced 2-3 games with even less.

That's the irony of the whole thing, really.

 

[Astral Dog]

Phew . Relieved the most powerful console ever made can't be without games :^)

 

[jackdoe]

Haha, two to three years from now will be when the next generation launches. So he's saying he's already signed exclusives for the launch line-up of their next console.

 

[Night Angel]

Yeah, sounds like your own subjective opinion.

Really? I thought I was laying down facts.

Of course it's an opinion.

Xbox fans should hold him accountable and/or be depressed by the stringing along for years.
I'd be annoyed as a soon to be customer though I'm not, I have my eyes on 3-4 games and that's enough for me as I'm mainly after the Region 1 4KBD.

 

[Prototype Viktor]

This kind of buried the lead:


If the stuff not shown is 2-3 years out, how's 2018-2019 looking, then?

They got a console for that Windows 10 store

 

[SRTtoZ]

Yea Phil but I'm sure Sony recently signed a bunch we don't know about aside from the ones we do already. Put up or shut up.

 

[Luminaire]

Forza 8 confirmed. You heard it here first.

 

[shanew21]

This kind of buried the lead:


If the stuff not shown is 2-3 years out, how's 2018-2019 looking, then?

Halo and FH4 are probably next year at the least.

 

[Psychoward]

Sony has 2-3 confrences left for the year.

MS has 1

Sony holding out to fill the others make sense

Sony also had Gravity Rush 2, Nioh, Horizon Zero Dawn, Wipeout Collection and Persona 5 this year already compared to Microsoft...
