Wow, I'm not talking strictly VGC.. but well yeah. It is a rough being an Xbox fan right now
Overall I feel like they got some work to do, but god damn the amount of concern trolling and just flat out shit I'm seeing across the web. Legit criticism ok, but hopefully they respond to that in a positive way in August.

Come August, Xbox undercuts Sony.

"Wow, Microsoft must be desperate, going to lose so much money, how will they survive? Clearly they're doing it cause they can't compete with PS5 since everyone hates Halo so they decided to practically give Xbox away"

Spoiler!
I don't think Xbox is undercutting Sony.

I think they both finna be 500. Wish they would just say it. The more they wait... makes me feel it might be more.

Also slightly off topic, but since Forza Horizon is my fave MS IP, it makes me think. When do you think we'll see an announcement to the Horizon series? They clearly fully into Fable right now, but they are efficient with getting out Horizon. Might help bring in some funds as well. Wouldn't mind a Horizon 5 trailer at E3 next year and even an August or September release, but I feel like it might be too soon. Wonder if PG has two teams to work on Fable/Horizon. Clearly they're not going to abandon Horizon.

Depends on the approach they choose for Horizon 5. If it is a cross gen game with just a new setting but not really that different from Horizon 4 in terms of technical aspects, then it's gonna be announced at E3 2021 and launched later that year. If Horizon 5 is expected to be a huge technical leap and next gen only game then I would say, E3 2022 it is with 2023 release date

I do think Horizon 5 is releasing in 2021, as it sounds like Forza Motorsport is 2022, and there is no way Horizon 5 is 2023, as that would give it 3 more years of development than earlier Horizon games. 

Playground not only has 2 separate teams for Fable and Horizon, but 2 entirely different studios for them. Those studios currently seem to be at about 170 devs on Forza Horizon and about 80 devs on Fable, with plans to get each studio to 200 eventually. 

Damn if that's 100, that's awesome news for PG. And wow, I'd be kinda shocked if Motorsport was 2022, but Phil did mention early development. Guess Turn 10 has been helping a lot of other studios as well, for support. Since Horizon 3 they've been every two years. I think skipping this year is smart for series fatigue. 

So yeah next year, them having an E3 trailer and then releasing the same year would be great. Then have Fable 2022. Since it's been in development since 2018, maybe pushing 2023. Kind of sick of MS with their release everything at the end of the year mantra. Sony has proven you don't need to do that.

I wonder if in August we will get any studio acquisition news? WB I still think is gonna be fake news, but who knows. Wish we got a Japanese studio, #FuckGoat.

Best I could see in August is a studio aquisition, maybe two, some gameplay for Avowed/Everwild/Forza/FableMotorsport and a big Forza Horizon 5 reveal with possible gameplay. Announce a game or two from the new studio aqustion(s) as well. That's being really optimistic.

Forza Horizon for August would be great too  

I also think NT and Hellblade need to show some gameplay. I don't think Project Mara is ready, but we need more than, "takes place in @iceland ."

Shit, I strangely forgot them, but yeah. That was one of the weirdest parts of the event, them just revealing a dev diary episode lol. "Thanks guys, thanks for turning up, I guess..."

Saying that, they've still had the best in-engine showing yet, arguably. Close between them and Forza.

I still think Gears probably has the best looking engine. Gears 6 is going to be crazy. But yeah, Hellblade, Forza definitely top class. Kind of wish they would let Coalition do another IP as well, as they are incredibly talented. 

Glad they are letting PG work on two IPs. That was always my biggest complaint with MS is that they have these big studios just doing one thing. Hopefully more tend to go the PG route with being able to work on multiple projects.

Right, so this seems legit and there's a bit here. Be aware there's some spoilers about the design concept for Halo Infnite, but nothing directly about the story or anything:

I'm glad the game itself is sounding really good, but I still believe a delay should be considered if they can't get it looking 'next-gen' at launch.



Now that we got some new snazzy games y’all should post in here :3
