And how do you know nothing is being announced in a month at the showcase? That’s right, you don’t.
Ma man, I heard the same thing from Sony fans last year. They were convinced Sony would have something up their sleeves that they were just waiting on. I was called chicken little, told i was being a melodramatic cunt, and told to seek meds. Turns out it was wishful thinking just like you are displaying now.
I remember asking people who is due? Who would turn up at a moments notice with an AAA next gen game in 2021? Bend, ND, Kojima, and Sucker Punch were the only studios with unannounced games and they had just shipped a game 1-2 years before. Turns out they were all taking a sabbatical last year. Kena was their biggest holiday game. kena. a game made by 20 people in a garage.
So Im gonna ask you the same thing. Who is due to release an unannounced AAA next gen game in 2022? Why would MS announce 10 games with CG trailers in 2020 from virtually all of their studios, have NONE of them ready for release in 2022, and yet keep 2022 AAA next gen games a secret?
In the other thread, I bet that GOW gets delayed simply because i no longer have faith in Jimbo and Herman even though I see no reason why a straight sequel would take longer than 4.5 years. For that same reason, I am not putting my blind faith into Phil anymore. Yet I still conceded that Forza 8 could ship this year even though we have seen nothing from it since 2020. These guys SHOULD be able to ship a racing game in five fucking years. That's how much leeway im giving Microsoft. It sucks that you all think MS will right the ship in one month and blow us all away with new unannounced games for release in six months because they have done nothing to earn that faith.
best case scenario, they turn up with a huge new batch of games from the Zenimax acquisition. A Doom sequel. Wolfenstein 2 or Rage 2 might be ready for a reveal, but ready for a release? eh. took them 2 years to release deathloop and ghostwire after reveals. Maybe Arkhane was working on Prey 2 on the side? That could be ready for a reveal, but an immediate release? eh.
