I heard. But it is so so impressive in Astros Playroom. The whole thing put a smile on my face repeatedly.

You add AoE 4 wich was released end 2021
Forza Motorsport 7 was released on 2017, the same year of GT Sport (Polyphony have already out GT7), so Turn10 make 6 years to a new Forza Motorsport ?
RedFall, Starfield & Hi-Fi Rush is more "Bethesda" than Xbox Game Studios.
But the true topic is... Microsoft can delivery 1 AAA per quarter, almost 4 - 5 AAA per years ?(bc c'mon, RedFail / HiFi-Rush isn't) .
https://www.vgchartz.com/article/44...-release-4-or-5-aaa-games-every-year-on-xbox/
If Microsoft count RedFall and Hi-Fi Rush like an AAA, so God of War: Ragnarok, Horizon Forbidenn West and Spider-Man 2 is an AAAA.

If the games are any good. The last few MS releases point otherwise. Lets hope it will get better.

Doing what?
Saying they'll have games every year?
Or actually releasing 4 big games a year?
They've definitely been saying it for awhile now

HiFi Rush, Minecraft Legends, Redfall, Starfield and Forza. Phil ain't lying anymore so I gotta give him that.

I have been playing on Xbox for 20 years and I am not sure that there was a single year during which they didn't release at least 4 games.
Even Nintendo did this with the Wii U.

Wow, you're this kind of person ok.
AoE4 released this month on Xbox.
What is wrong with Turn10 needing 6 years for a new FM? When it was every 2 years it was too much and now it's not enough ?
Bethesda is a Xbox Game Studios wtf are you talking about. Then Spider-Man 2 isn't from PlayStation Studios but from Insomniac ?
And since when the topic is 4 AAA per year ? The topic is Microsoft declared they will release 4 1st party games per year. They never said AAA games. So don't change what they said to be able to say "gngngn they lied again"...
Oh I forgot Minecraft Legends, but I guess it isn't from a MS studios but from Mojang right ?
They would have been so Fed without Zenimax lol

But this game is ALREADY out..
Can you count Returnal PC, The Last of Us Part 1 PC and Ratchet & Clank PC like a new release AAA for Sony ?
Phil Spencer says AAA before... know they change because they see is more complicated. But you can't count "little" game, port or re-release... (Yo Quake 2, what's up, thanks Phil!)
Sony release many PSVR2 titles this year. Everyone care ? No, no one care...
The legends are coming (??)

Well said Microsoft. However...
Whip your previously bought studios into shape and allow them to make the games they want to again.

A touch over dramatic I agree.
But i want Xbox to succeed, that's all. Less talk and more action.

When will everyone see Xbox leadership as the clown show they are?

A year or more later, maybe. *

Apart from Avowed, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 and Hellblade II, do they have any of their titles confirmed for a 2024 release?
Fable, South of Midnight, Clockwork Revolution, Everwild, State of Decay 3, Perfect Dark etc - Any of these?
I think Gears 6 will get announced later this year (probably TGA's) and release next year...

Since many years ago always "the next year is going to be great for Xbox" and they show at E3 'the best lineup in Xbox history'. But then they don't deliver.
This time seems that 2024, or at least 2025 will be really the first year with 4 big exclusives. Let's hope it's true and they offer some competition to Sony.
Soon we'll see a Starfield vs Goodbye Volcano High fight.

I think they were blatantly lying when mentioning a 2024 relase for Hellblade 2, because at the end of 2021 it was still in preproduction.

Thats nice.
The real question remains. Can Microsoft make a system with a better lineup than the Wii U or Ps Vita?

And for the 1st time in a few years, they're actually going to do it. This year and next year are sorted, 2025 It will be interesting to see if they can maintain it.
But I guess in 2025 is when the likes of Perfect Dark, Indiana Jones and IO Interactive Dragom game will be getting ready to go.
Games and In-House studios are really not an issue anymore, it's MS pathetic PR that's more of a pressing issue.... It's nonexistent even now, in the run-up to StarField.
It seems to me that Xbox PR thinks its all about having nice photos and that's job done.

What about quality? Who gives a shit about how much stuff they're gonna put out if it's just gonna be one Redfall after another?
SenkiDala

Quality is often (not always sure) a matter of opinion.
For exemple I disliked GT7, even though it is a good game. I bought Forbidden West on day one but the game bores me. I was thrilled by the announcement of HiFi Rush (JSR/JSRF fan here) but in the end I don't like the game very much... but it is praised to be a great game.
Some people will love Spider-Man 2, others won't, some people will love Starfield others won't.

The most surprising thing to me about this thread is that I thought Minecraft Dungeons and Minecraft Legends were the same game.
I was truly doing a double take when finding out this isn’t the case lol.

Does that even include what the like of id are working on? Seems like they are basically set for the gen before Activision.

Redfall shouldn't count given the results, but Hi-Fi Rush, Starfield, and Forza isn't a bad showing for 2023.
They certainly seem to have some 2024 games lined up. Hellblade, Avowed, etc. But they don't just need to release they need to be good (and I have concerns about Avowed)

I should hope so. They've bought every studio not nailed down. At some point it has to pay off.

Guess they weren't serious before and wanted to mess around with the fanbase for some casual comedic relief. If I was an Xbox exec, I'd do it too

They said four 1st party titles not 4 big titles like Starfield. There's not a single console maker that releases 4 big games every year, usually there's a big bang on the first year a console launches i.e 2017 for Switch and some would consider that only 3 big titles and then it tapers off. Sony this year only has 1 title and last year it was 2. I think 4 new games per year is good they are already on track to exceed that this year.

I believe it's 33-34 with ABKs studios depending on how you split them up.

I don't think Spencer is nearly as bad as a lot of people in similar positions, but I'll never believe a single word out of his mouth. Plus the cult around him is annoying as hell.

Well, I think they need a couple of years of having a few big bangers in a year to turn the table a bit
They don't have the benefit of being able to release one game In a year like Sony do.
I bet if Sony had multiple years of only releasing one game, tge tables would turn on them.

Those weren't all 1st party games.

Best they can do is work on a pipeline and work to get used to Zenimax and ABK as soon as possible. Obsidian was 2018 their first big AAA game won't launch till at least 2024.
