Enjoy! Games look beautiful!

Been playing Final Fantasy XV right now and yes, looks absolutely stunning.

Just smashed out Shadow of the Tomb Raider in 3 days including the completionist achievement. Excellent game, and incredible graphics on the X!

Help me choose a game from these two:
- Batman: Return to Arkham (Never played the batman games, but heard great things about them. I assume this is the best way to jump in)
- Titanfall 2 Ultimate Edition (Broke our boycott against EA earlier in the year with Burnout remastered, and I've heard great things about TF2 as well, especially about the campaign)

I mean, I'm eventually gonna both of these but only one for now, which one is best? Titanfall is $13 CAD while Batman is $9.90 CAD.

I'd definitely go with Titanfall 2. I haven't played Batman games either, but I can vouch for Titanfall 2's campaign.

Tim Soret on the development state of The Last Night (indie showed at Microsoft's E3 2017 conference and our Xbox Empire Most Anticipated Indie Runner-Up in 2018) and why it got delayed from 2018 to 2019:

2018, rise & fall:
- We doubled the team.
- We got ourselves a proper lovely studio in the core of London.
- Game budget finally got a *massive* raise.
- We found & developed the code architecture this game needed.
- We developed even more gorgeous hybrid 3D pixel art techniques.
— Tim Soret (@timsoret) December 31, 2018

Then...
- We encountered massive business, legal & funding issues we can't talk about.
- We had to cancel a new trailer of The Last Night at The Game Awards 😰
- We're currently raising funds, so get in touch: hello@oddtales.net

To those we've been working with this year,
To those we were supposed to work with,
To my team,
You know who you are… I'm deeply grateful. Thank you so much being so patient, and for staying there also during the hard times.
— Tim Soret (@timsoret) December 31, 2018

2018 stats:
- 1.000.000 views on the reveal trailer!
- More than +6M views on all channels.
- My making-of for IGN is almost at 500k views... Insane.
- 186 000 wishlists on Steam with just one trailer. Unbelievable.

Hopefully they get everything sorted and can resume development and show some more trailers. It looked promising back in 2017.

Here are some things we can look forward to from MS first parties this year.

343I

On their last stream they said it would be a big year for Halo and they plan to have a beta program similar to the one SoT had. So we can probably expect the Halo Infinite beta and gameplay this year.

inXile

Wasteland 3 should launch this year and we might hear about their second game.

Obsidian

Outer worlds should launch this year.

Turn 10

A few months ago they said they still had the whole team working on FM8 so we should expect a FM8 expansion.

Undead Labs

State of Decay 2 expansions and updates.

Mojang

Minecraft Dungeons launches this year on PC.

They will continue to bring new updates to Minecraft.

Ninja Theory

They might announce one of the multiple game they have been working on.

Playground Games

They will release more Forza Horizon 4 expansions.

Rarw

They have already announced the first two expansions coming to year 2 of SoT. Arena comes early next year and it will be a PvP only server. They also have the Tall Tales update which will bring lore/story based voyages. Also announced for 2019 is the second endgame rank called "Captaincy", pets, frienship events, fishing, cooking, poisons, another new area, and they want to expandthe blide rats more.

They also have another team working on a game but we won't hear about it this year since the game recently started development.

The Coalition

Gears 5 launches this year.

Gears pop launches this year.

We will hear and see more about Gears tactics for PC.

Compulsions Games

They will probably continue to update We Happy Few.

The Initiative

We probably won't hear anything from them this year.

Microsoft Publishing Studio

Ori and the Will of the Wisps launches this year.

Crackdown 3 also launches this year.

Battletoads is coming this year too and Rare is helpign with it.
