4 new 360 games with X enhancements is nice, but where the heck did the og xbox back compat games go? We haven't gotten any since the second wave way back in April.



Bet with Intrinsic:

The Switch will outsell 3DS (based on VGchartz numbers), according to me, while Intrinsic thinks the opposite will hold true. One month avatar control for the loser's avatar.

There was some good announcements on Gamepass especially for launching into Gamepass.

-Mutant Year Zero is one of the highlights with it been XCOM style of game which along with Pheonix Point we already know is hitting Gamepass at launch in June 2019 and possibly Gears Tactics in 2019 it's going to be a good time for fans of XCOM games.

- Void Bastards is probably an highlight for me as the artstyle and the trailer in general we saw looked a blast.

- The Good Life is from Swery and wasn't previously confirmed for Xbox after it's kickstarter campaign was PS4/PC only and is scheduled for Q4 2019 so not only to have it confirmed for Xbox but to also launch into gamepass is great.

- Ori DE and Will of the Wisps also good additions and Ori 2 was the only upcoming MS published game not confirmed for Gamepass due to the deal been signed before the change of MS published games launching into the program.

- Secret Neighbour will probably push a decent amount fo subs has for a reason unknown to me the previous game is very popular on Xbox.

- Out of the rest I think Thief of Thieves and Pathologic 2 look like decent games to try that I probably wouldn't of purchased otherwise.

- Hellblade should also be a permanent addition as Ninja Theory developed and published it so there is no other rights to pay.

I must admit Crackdown 3 impressed me with what they just showed at X018. I wasn't hyped at all for this game but its slowly winning me over.

I think it's a good thing bleeding edge didn't get announced here. I'm hoping Microsoft saves all the games from new studios for xbox scarlet, and fire at all cylinders right from launch.

Agreed. Sony is clearly doing the same, it is why they cancelled their Paris Games Week and Playstation Experience shows this year. I have a feeling that MS and Sony have both announced pretty much all of the remaining exclusives for XB1 and PS4 respectively:

XB1- Ashen, Crackdown 3, Ori 2, Gears 5, Halo Infinite

PS4- Concrete Genie, Dreams, Days Gone, The Last of Us 2, Ghost of Tsushima, Death Stranding

MS and Sony might announce some new games for XB1 and PS4 at E3, but if they do they will very likely be cross-gen games announced alongside Xbox Scarlett and PS5, because I have a feeling that MS and Sony will both announce their next consoles by E3 2019 at the latest, with release by March 2020 at the latest. 

I'm happy with Crackdown 3, Gears 5 and Ori 2 as the base of the lineup for 2019 but is the next gen really going to arrive Q4 2019/Q1 2020?

I think the best odds is still on Q4 2020 for new hardware so there has to be at least 1 game arriving in 2020 for Xbox One that we don't know about if that's how things play out and maybe that's where MSGP could step in with the rumoured Dontnod exclusive and maybe another deal signed from 2017 because going from September 2019 (Gears 5) to November 2020 with no exclusive games coming out may well be good going into next gen but could disgruntle some Xbox One owners and bring some negativity back towards the Xbox brand.

I'm also presuming Battletoads and Gears Tactics are also going to slot into the 2019 lineup or maybe Gears Tactics is an early 2020 game on Xbox after a 2019 PC release. Ninja Theory could also fill in the 2020 gap as their next game was in development before Hellblade launched by a different team and should be due out late 2019 or early 2020 which I guess depending on next gen launch that could fall to a launch title if early 2020 is the new hardware.

I'm not 100% sure on inXile's situation with The Bards Tale IV: Barrows Deep but from what I've read they have no publisher contract to fulfil on that end and although it was announced to be coming to consoles there is no obligation to hit PS4 which could also filter into the 2019 lineup as a console exclusive unlike Wasteland 3 which had PS4/Xbox One as platforms on it's crowd funding and will be multi-platform if it hits the Q4 2019 target although like most crowdfunded games I expect InXile to be working on this until Q1/Q2 2020.

I just want GTA 6.



InXile was bought for PC and not Xbox, I hope that this means that Obsidian solely focuses on AAA development with 2 teams.



Am I the only one who seems to be concerned Beth hasn't even hinted at what would happen to TES?



Is anyone else a little surprised by Microsoft's Xbox One S offering this Black Friday? Minecraft S for $199 or other bundles for $229. I think we needed to see the other bundles such as FH4, Tomb Raider, NBA2k19, BF5 and Fallout 76 at $199 and the Minecraft at $179 to be the cheapest console on the market, The $199 Spiderman PS4 will be to good of value to the average buyer compared to Xbox's offerings this year.

I think the $399 Xbox One X is at a pretty good price point and will do very well and I hope they add more value with a free game or lower the S prices before Black Friday arrives or make a cheaper push going into Cyber Monday by throwing in RDR2 with all Xbox purchases or something along those lines.
