ahahahahahaha.... ahahahahaha.. ahahahahahaha

like seriously. I cant do anything but laugh at this. surprisingly it was one of the games I really wanted to play this year because I loved the first one to death.

I just hope MS have some upgraded visuals trailer next week. to help things calm down abit lol.

MS.. what are you doing ...

 

[ethomaz]

Lmao with so many great exclusives?? What great exclusives? What exclusives at all?

MS is so bad in the first party section it's not even funny.

They consider Forza 7 and any other first on XB1 indie as exclusive.

But that is all.

 

[ElephantShell]

Best 3rd parties? Essentially what sony did with the pro

Sony advertised the Pro?

 

[Gamezone]

Just cancel it.

 

[Boke1879]

The continued existence of this game is bizarre. I wonder why MS hasn't cancelled it yet, like they cancelled Scalebound.

Fam if they cancelled this do you know the shit storm that would bring?

 

[Blackleg-sanji1]

This game was announced in 2014 tho..supposed to have a multiplayer beta in 2016 and come out 2016 than 2017 now not even a damn date it's spring 2018 which I bet is fall 2018

 

[kadotsu]

Best 3rd parties? Essentially what sony did with the pro

They can't advertise Fifa, CoD and Battlefront which makes that plan kind of hard.

 

[Majine]

I enjoy a bit of Forza but I was under the impression (I could well be wrong) that Horizon was a lot more popular than the main series. Seems a bit of a dry game to pin a console launch on.

On GAF? Perhaps.

But the Motorsports series is still huge.

 

[Garrett Hawke]

This is genuinely a good thing from what I've heard.

 

[N7.Angel]

The game looked rough. It's probably for the best.

Plenty of stuff to play this year anyway.

Yeah definitely, doesn't looks good at all, good decision in my opinion.

 

[oti]

If this games doesn't deliver after all this time then wow. Gonna be rough.

What game will MS advertise with the Xbox One X now?

Assassin's Creed

Spoiler

lol

Seems like MS listened and spread out their releases!

 

[hydruxo]

I get that people have decided to laugh at this but honestly it's the right move in every way

The game clearly needed work and November was a horrible launch period for this.

Spring 2018 gives it a much better chance. Good move MS

Does it though? One could argue that Spring '18 is even more crowded.

 

[Waldo Lydecker]

Never could have thought we could turn those 'Star Trek where was The Last Guardian' gifs into Crackdown 3 gifs.

Xbox just can't catch a break this generation. Will they be able to do a PS3 style turnaround? Because the X is looking like a expensive true4k presse papier right now.

 

[Family Fry]

Crackdown 3, delayed til 2018??

Aw shit, now I will have nothing to play on my Xbox, literally no games, none whatsoever.
I may as well sell it now.

 

[Dark Cloud]

Maybe they're talking about their competitors' machines?

Well Phil does like talking good about his competitors and how great they are.

 

[Community Forum]

Ummmmmm wow.

 

[LiK]

Trailers looked bad so yes, give it more time.

 

[LordBaztion]

If either, they don't show the multiplayer at gamescon or it doesn't delivers, it will definitelly will be cancelled by january.

 

[MosquitoSmasher]

I am more than fine with this because after the E3 videos I really wasn't too fond of that at all. I do wonder if they can change things and improve things that drastically between now and Spring 2018 though.

Still though, what a goddamn mess. One thing is for sure, something went very wrong there.

 

[sirap]

You will, in Winter 2019.

2019 is 8K baby. Scorpio will be old news by then.

 

[Xando]

Wonder what’s going on at Microsoft. Phil needs to get his division in order

 

[gamz]

That is 2018 as well.

So the 2018 lineup is looking like

Crackdown 3
State of Decay 2
Sea of Thieves
Ori
Forza
Halo 6

Those first 3 were all delayed from this year.

Halo 6 ain't coming out in 2018, but that lineup is fucking solid now! Damn!

 

[j0hnnix]

Possible MS waiting for x2x to come out for true 8k cloud computing.. real Terry Crews is better than fake Terry Crews.

 

[WooHooAlex]

For the best. Game was looking pretty rough. It definitely needs a few extra months.

 

[Yearsoflurking]

They can't advertise Fifa, CoD and Battlefront which makes that plan kind of hard.

Assassin creed forza shadow. Still can do crackdown and everything 2018 they'll be fine. Hardcore buy new consoles anyway


Moving this game from 2017 to 2018 probably helps them. 4th quarter is crowded

 

[Skyline Owl]

Take all the time you need for Crackdown, MS. I'll wait.

 

[What A Time To Be Alive]

Honestly cancel that shit.

Dont know who asked for a new Crackdown anyways. So many other IP's MS could of brought or New IP's that could of been made.

 

[RulkezX]

More proof MS read GAF.

Is all your fault for saying no one cares about exclusives in that "MS needs more exclusives" thread.

Well done GAF

 

[Henry Jones Jr]

Welp, more time for Knack 2

 

[gamz]

Wonder what’s going on at Microsoft. Phil needs to get his division in order

You've never seen a game / movie get pushed back? Happens all the time.

 

[WooHooAlex]

Also, wasn't this supposed to be their One X "launch title"?

 

[ArjanN]

Honestly it seemed like it needed more time.

The continued existence of this game bizarre. I wonder why MS hasn't cancelled it yet, like they cancelled Scalebound.

They probably don't want to cancel anything more than they have to and Crackdown is likely a easier bet from a marketing perspective than Scalebound.

 

[Instro]

They probably would have canned this had they not not already gotten such backlash over their previous cancellations.

 

[Duchess O'Death]

 

[Kenzodielocke]

MS felt like the company that pushed out games in a relatively timely manner earlier this gen. This seem to have changed drastically.

 

[Theorry]

That is 2018 as well.

So the 2018 lineup is looking like

Crackdown 3
State of Decay 2
Sea of Thieves
Ori
Forza
Halo 6

Those first 3 were all delayed from this year.

Doubt we see Halo 6. Ori maybe. But thats a nice list to be fair.

 

[Nameless]

Good. The game looked ROUGH.

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

They delayed the only One X launch title???

 

[bananafactory]

Does it though? One could argue that Spring '18 is even more crowded.

Its original date was sandwiched right between COD and Battlefront. Whatever its spring date is it won't have that competition

 

[PrintedCrayon]

It sucks that it has been pushed back again, but give this game as long as it needs. I hope we're not left disappointed with the end product.

Plus this gives me more time to save for an Xbox One X.

 

[oti]

If either, they don't show the multiplayer at gamescon or it doesn't delivers, it will definitelly will be cancelled by january.

This isn't one if those "Japanese games" so Xbox owners actually care. No, in all seriousness, of they were to cancel this the resulting shitstorm would be humongous.

Halo 6 ain't coming out in 2018, but that lineup is fucking solid now! Damn!

That's a way to spin it.

 

[panda-zebra]

What's wrong with you people? Didn't you want more xbox exclusives in 2018?

 

[mclem]

"We're waiting for April showers so we have enough clouds to power it"

 

[Jawmuncher]

At least this means recore can get some more exposure

 

[Lichter]

MS litterally don't know how to ship a game anymore, who the fuck is in charge of MS Studios productions?

 

[Alienous]

They really should just focus everything on making that multiplayer component free-to-play, or at least standalone.

That's where the money would be.

 

[Lucifon]

Does it though? One could argue that Spring '18 is even more crowded.

No chance. Its current date was sandwiched between Shadow of War, South Park, Destiny 2, Cod WW2, Battlefront 2, AC Origins, Wolfenstein and maybe a couple of others all within a few weeks either side of it. Outside of being an X launch title it would have been completely drowned out.

 

[jayu26]

Man, 2017 is not Xbox's year.

 

[Majine]

At this point the Xbox One has more UI redesigns than AA exclusives.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

So the X doesn't have a first party game at launch.

Pretty crazy. I know it's a mid-gen refresh, but you'd think they'd want to launch the console with a first party title.

I can't remember a more underwhelming year for Xbox since MS entered the video game industry in 2001.
