Xbox and Bethesda Developer Direct 25th January (8pm UK / 3pm ET / 12pm PT)

Who called for a massive blowout? Just a peek is fan, reassures fans and intrigues potential customers.

I omitted Redfall to focus on the overwhelming majority and not the minority, seems fair.

Sony literally released a trailer looking at the games coming this year, yet my take is clueless? Considering Sony's complete domination this gen I'd argue you are the clueless one.

Forza doesnt attract new customers neither does Minecraft. No1 is denying thier popularity, you're shouting at clouds taking from my comments what you want.

Imagine calling this clueless having just watched the (currently winning) competition do just that.

Fanboys done lost thier minds....
How do you know Forza doesn't attract new customers? First one in 6 years, I know a few people that are pumped for it.

No idea why Forza gets hate but Sony can release a bunch of Spiderman and Horizon games in less time span and somehow get a pass.

Fanboys definitely lose their minds.

Fuck me, if i hear this one one time.........
I guess I'm also interested in seeing how they explain the game is not a L4D clone. Their previous videos really didn't do a lot on that front.

I swear Xbox has gone from one extreme to another.
Previously people were calling them out for setting expectations too high.
Now, comparatively speaking, their social media announcements for this event/stream whatever basically read like:

"Hey folks we'll be running a stream to talk about games we've already announced. It won't be interesting at all and there will be no surprises... see you there can't wait!!!!!!"

This and a dedicated Starfield show?

We are eating good.
They were coming after a one year exclusivity period on PS5 though since Sony moneyhatted both next-gen Bethesda releases. I’m guessing this played a part in MS’ decision.
Yep I'm so glad Sony can't money hat Bethesda games anymore but looks like it is backfiring of them with forspoken. Glad about that

Forza has always been better than Gran Turismo so it's gonna cause some warring to a degree. I'm not surprised.

I'm genuinely confused as to how people have come to the conclusion that Redfall is a L4D clone, from all the gameplay shown, it clearly looks like a FPS game with RPG mechanics, with optional drop in/drop out co op.

(Far Cry & Borderlands would probably be better comparisons, as they also offer optional drop in/drop out co op & are fps games with RPG mechanics)

Prefer Forza myself as well but its close.
I find the Racing again the AI in GT to be incredibly dull, although it comes to life if you get a decent lobby of real players. The AI in Forza is miles better imo.
GT has the edge on handling and car "feel" presently, although that could change with this reboot. I also find both FM7 and GT7 lacking in the campaign department, again hopefully something that is addressed in the new Forza. Lots off room for improvement in both basically.

Not really. Horizon destroyed F7 in popularity. I’m curious if they even manage to get close to GT7 online mode, since the online mode is very strong.
Horizon isn't for me, the campaign in that lacks any kind of focus and the you just seem to go through the motions. Great chill out game but in no way a serious competitor to either GT7 or the mainline Forza games.

FM7 kinda sucked imo it just never really clicked for me like previous entries.

Someone said not so sure about a Forza release date.
I know what you are referring to. Jez said in a recent podcast that he had insider info that Redfall would release May 2nd and Starfield in June, but he didn't have any insider info on an exact release date for Forza Motorsport. Turn 10 is probably just saving the info for the show and wasn't "leaking" it out to the press.

That's because the FM series doesn't have a real click with the car manufactures, something you already feel when you start GT7.

Forza motorsport will do incredible numbers in game pass. With 30 million game pass users. I think turn ten will continue to update fm throughout this entire generation and just add content over time.
As long as its more like 7 and nothing like 5

Don’t hold back, Microsoft! Hit it out the park, we’ve been waiting a long time for some proper game showcases.

I just found out through a friend of a friend that this is opening with a musical performance, NWA's classic "F*** Tha Police" is to be performed in a disco style featuring Nile Rodgers. The incendiary lyrics changed to "F*** Tha FTC" at the climax of the song, Phil Spencer will present Bobby Kotick with a giant cheque for Seventy Billion dollars (US). Kotick will then produce a small cheque book and attempt to write out a cheque to give Spencer his change. Satya Nadella will rush the stage and rip the cheque up and say "that's chump change" before bizarrely, Master Chief wil appear to gun down everyone onstage.

The screen will turn black and a release date for Starfield will appear (January '25).

Then the stream will end after just 3 minutes.
