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

On average people are still only sinking 40-60 hours into those.
Don't misunderstand: I'm aware longer games exist. But the length of a game isn't a measure of quality, nor do I trust general estimates for a length of a game. I'm always sinking extra hours into games I enjoy whereas 200+ hour adventures like Witcher 3 lost my interest after the first 30 hours or so.
Heck, I'm approaching 2,000 hours in a game that can be ostensibly beaten (by credit feeding) in about 23 minutes.
Agreed, but please see above.

In that context it makes sense. They need to foster them in a way that will enable them to keep on creating the way that they have done previously. In the cases of inxile and obsidian especially I hope they do.

Well that answers my previous thread re: Fable RPG. Microsoft has no intention of competing.

2 years? More like 5-6 years.
Yes, the Xbox guy is talking about game longevity but I believe he's actually talking about the overall quality and scale of the games from their newer studios.
Don't expect an avalanche of big titles, just a lot of Game Pass filler games.

oh yeah i was just saying that some AAA games really are 100 hours long.
i love big games myself, i don't get bored if there is enough interesting contenents and the core gameplay is fun and deep.

Ask me about my fanboy energy!
By 90 hour he meant for campaign(in games like Halo Infinite) or main story(for RPGs).
If that is gamepass filler, than so are all SIE games(none of them took 90 hours). Halo Infinite/Hellblade II would be 20 hour at most.
Anything more than 50 hours for the main story of a RPG is a drag. Obsidian's narrative style does not fit that anyway.

Thank you, if only some other people could learn to restrain themselves not fling shit back and forth.
This thread is now about to devolve into the usual bullshit.
Not even close to the truth, but by all means buy into an idiot who edits footage and makes a clickbait headline. Just look at the size of these studios MS acquired and you will know this moron has an agenda.

What people don't talk about enough is replay-factor. I first bought 'Lifeless Planet' in summer 2014. I completed the game back then but have since replayed it or just some levels many times. My Steam account shows 120+ hours of total gameplay and I know I will want to play it again. It's just so f-en immersive!

How is a new AAAA halo game worse or less valued than freakin horizon 2 ? Anyway the thread is misleading and frankly embarrassing. Sony fans should have some dignity and just stop, tbh.

Well that’s obvious given their acquisitions. They have probably boosted their AAA output by 50% and their AA output by 200%.
But still things can be deceiving. Hellblade 2 doesn’t have a huge team and therefore AAA budget, but will be in similar style to a Sony walkie talkie.
Then there’s making stuff similar to Psychonauts 2, I will take lots of games like that instead of the run of the mill AAA stuff!

I don't think Fable applies to this since he clearly said "our recently acquired studios".
Fable is being worked on by Playground and will most likely be AAA.

What I'm saying is I'd rather have a truly great 50-hour game that can makes me want to replay it 10x over the next 5 years rather than 'one and done'. That's 550 hours of fun! Does anyone agree with me?

Hellblade II is by 100 people(thats what they said). But seriously, 90 hours ?? Never gonna happen.

Not everyone uses their heads or capable of doing so unfortunately and OP contributed to it by running with it.
The actual interview which is in the Tweet explains it well, the games will be like Hellblade (small team, AAA-like experience).

He simply states that not all 16 studios are working on 100+ million Dollar AAA titles. A quote, taken out of context by a fanboy to generate clicks.
Many of these studios are not actually suited to realize projects on such a scale.
There is nothing to see here, Let's leave the thread to the Sony fanboys ... they have already taken over the thread anyway.

Even though the vid is edited (lol), what is said sounds to me like he's saying some of the studios they have bought are smaller studios, who probably wouldnt be able to make AAA level games, but they are going to try and provide them with the resources to get them as close as possible.
I know looking at it without a fanboy cap on my head is probably the wrong thing to do on here, but that was my take.
Also not one mention of gamepass in the vid, which in itself shows the agenda behind that tweet.

Sounds like Xbox won't have any good single player games again this generation

It is but the biggest AAA games can be 300+ people during peak development.
Yup, just play what you like.
One thing for sure is that huge AAA games are only a small part of the market. But for some reason on here people act like they are the only games that exist.
I’m glad someone is putting some real money and effort into smaller, more unique experiences.

People also play Halo 5/Gears of war for hundreds of hours. But Halo Infinite campaign is going to be 20 hour at most. He is not talking about replayability here.

Would make for a better lineup imo.
But depends on what games they make. If they have high quality diverse games, all for it.
Use good ips like ori, banjo, project dark, keep quality high and it would be great.

Some of the best games out there are AA and relatively short games. Length should never be equivalent of quality (although that doesn't mean that lengthy games can't be of great quality either). Budget also doesn't mean much either. Personally i prefer AA because they usually have more freedom to try new things. Gameplay and Art direction are much more important than graphics and performance. At least for me.
There are lots of valid aspects to judge a game's quality. But length and budget are not two of them IMO.
(Btw i am not talking about cheap indie trash but more about mid-tier games)

Creating a narrative that isn't true is messing up marketing. MS invested to create AAA games. This short clip is out of context and purposely cut to make a claim that isn't true. For some odd reason the guy wants to pass misinformation to people who would listen to him. We live in a day and age where people will believe lies over truth.
Take this thread. We are all knowledgeable and understanding that the claim isn't true but some people will believe it and spread the narrative. People are set in their ways. Can't change that.

I'll wait and see before I judge their quality. I'd like them to have high replay value than One and done wonders that other companies drop. I can get by 50+hour games but as long as they aren't a massive drag and boring.
