Everything leaking about Series S and it's still a month away from reveal, Microsoft might as well purposely leak the entire thing for us (except price).

Hilariously optimistic of you. For all you know, MS is gonna have their August Xboxing day just as late as their July event, in which case you're looking at basically another 2 months.



fable meets share your own story?

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

Microsoft filed a new trademark for Fable, shockingly, 

Mostly for clothing, accessories, online information and curiously a "website featuring technology that enables users to create, upload, and share user-generated videos based on computer game play"

Either they are just renewing their trademark for Fable orrrrrr new Fable game confirmed.

It can't be! This is completely out of left field!

Someone pointed this out over on Era.

"The Initiative is looking for a Senior World Builder to craft genre defining AAA gameplay locales for our next project."

https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/search/?currentJobId=1901583846&f_C=11742209&locationId=OTHERS.worldwide

The wording is a bit weird, our next project? they haven't even released their first yet.

When The Initiative said their studio would remain "small and agile" I had wondered if the studio is basically going to act as an incubation factory, multiple teams with senior staff, coming up with a project idea and then outsourcing the bulk of development out to other studios, The Initiative leads the vision but outside studios build it.

I don't want to read too much into that job posting wording but I think that is still what The Initiative may be regardless, would explain why they're growing so slowly.

looks like their current project is almost done if not already done, deffo with an original XSX release in august in mind

Yeah, i think The Initiative is going to work like Mistwalker. They will come up with the concept, story and gameplay mechanics and offload the development to support studios.

So um, is this a hint?

It adds a little fuel to the "Halo BR" theory/rumour too IMO...



I have a hard time viewing a f2p Halo multiplayer as anything other than a huge wasted opportunity for GamePass growth, and frankly, I dread to think what it would mean for the way they handle monetization. I'll take a big pass on that idea.



Halo Infinite MP F2P isn’t a bad idea, let me explain.

We know the game will have micros even if it’s no loot boxes. And micros in full priced games are generally hated even if it’s cosmetic only. The ONLY way people can accept micros is if it’s free. One obstacle out the way right there.

Second, it can be that it’s bundled with Halo Infinite like any other Halo but you get bonus goodies and incentives if you play the campaign and then the multiplayer,

Just because it’s free doesn’t meant it’s gonna have BR, it’ll have some unique mode sure but will have all the modes we know and love too.

And of course, being free will lead to a surge in downloads. Halo will be more popular then ever. Just think of the possibilities if it’s free...it’ll make Halo 3 look like a flop by comparison. They simply make the money off cosmetics like armor, weapon skins, assassinations, etc.

Guys, if you think like that, this could be the best thing to happen, remember micros suck in full priced games but are accepted in free ones.



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.
