was super stoked for battlefront, but my hype just dropped by bucket tons.
no campaign, 4 general areas of gameplay. Seems like another titanfall, tbh.
Both have great gameplay mechanics but super light on content at release.
Can't see myself spending 60 bucks on something like that.

seems like they're just going all out on the visuals and skimping out on the content.

MS coudn't, but I can. 

Tomb raider is timed, everyone knows. 

Forza is the third forza this gen. It will probably be the best racer ever but still the third one. 

Fable is a f2p that no one will care about, much less move consoles.

The only thing is halo 5, which will be huge. 

No one knows the details of that exclusivity. Did MS buy the exclusivity for couple of entries or just ROTR?

Forza Motorsport is not Horizon. They target different audiences, really. Think Garden Warfare vs Battlefield.

Fable have have a hardcore legion of followers. Believe if Fable goes back to it's 1 & 2 roots with next-gen perks it would make a splash. Like Neverwinter, Fable Legends is not supposed to move units on the shelves but if i has an extraordinary gameplay, word of mouth will get people to join friends online.

I just have more faith buddy. I'm sometimes a positive person.



After seeing all these PS4 news lately (mostly from 3rd parties), I'm starting to wonder what MS has in terms of shock and awe. Hope they invest in some new IPs from them.

Spencer said it was timed, ROTR. 

Still not the first forza. You are comparing a FPS with a TPS, open world against track based racer feels more alike than that.

If it wasn't on pc it could be like that (long shot tho), with pc version.. nah, can't see it at all. Still Legends isn't Fable, think Motorsport vs Horizon(lol). 

Oh yeah you do, I remember reading about jrpgs from you and how you thought ms would get some and to keep faith..

Never a dull day with ps lately... they are high on news. 

While the last we got from ms was... ''you will see xbox games on pc'' at GDC.

Forza 6 being the third Forza this gen doesn't really mean much Tiago. For one, racing fans will always want more racing games, just like fans of other genres always want more of those.

Moreover, Forza 6 will be the first game where we really see what they can do on next gen. 5 was a launch title, which always comes with challenges, and Horizon 2 (aside from being an entirely different animal) was cross gen. Forza 6 will be big time for racing fans.



This was the only topic from the internet who you could feel" safe as a xbox fan " but every day that have passed it becomes more toxic here. Really sad.

Well Scalebound, Quantum Break, Ori and State of Decay are new Ips that Microsoft own.

Yeah, I think Halo 5, Forza 6, and RotTR will all do fine this Holiday season. Halo is huge, RotTR should do well with Uncharted delayed (unless Sony drops the Uncharted Collection on PS4 this Holiday season), and Forza 6 is going to be a big deal to sim racing fans, especially if it's fixes all of the problems that Forza 5 had. Fable will flop at retail, though it should do ok digitally since it's F2P and since MS will advertise it heavily on the XB1 dashboard. Gigantic is F2P as well, so it should do well digitally for the same reasons as Fable.

My concern is if they try to stuff any more games into the Holiday window, we've heard rumors of either Gears Collection or Banjo 3 releasing this Holiday season. Could those really do well in such a crowded Holiday season, with Microsoft's ad budget spread thin between so many games? I really hope that Gears Collection is Q1 2016 and Banjo is Q2 or Q3 2016, QB and Scalebound should be Q1 or Q2 2016 as well.

I'm not saying forza will flop, I simply think it won't sell much outside existing users. With XBO not getting major third party jp games, and ps4 getting GT7 eventually, only new stuff will manage to win new people over.

(I'm talking about Europe here, I'm European and I know how we think)
