Mara looks great. Hopefully the content is as good as it looks.



I had no idea what Project Mara was.. Well, I still have no idea actually :) But this tech looks cool.
Also, shame on me probably but I never realized that Ninja Theory was one of the acquired studios lol

It’s an experimental psychological horror game where the the protagonist has a mental illness.

Have a feeling Project Mara could release this year and potentially be one of the titles Jez was talking about, the entire game set inside a single apartment, it seems like Tameem and Nina aren't having to socially distance either, Lol, all the recording is happening inside the apartment and focused on a single character, at the very least it will definitely release before Hellblade II.

Also I wish more Xbox studios released short development update videos like this every few months or so, it's interesting to see.

If one of the two 2021 games is Project Mara then Jez should just say so, the game has already been announced.

I know it's been talked about in here before, but Microsoft really needs to highlight and put more backing behind Stalker 2. The Stalker games were really a pretty big deal on PC in the mid 2000's and were part of the last wave of big AAA PC exclusives (Witcher 1, Crysis 1, Stalker etc). I won't say that Stalker 2 will necessarily be amazing or that it won't be janky (the originals were), but as long as it has the budget I don't see it getting much lower reception than something like Exodus. It could be a sleeper hit if treated appropriately.

People are sleeping on Stalker 2, that studio could potentially be an acquisition target too depending on how that game does.



What they've shown about stalker 2 looks great. I agree Microsoft should do a better job of marketing it.

That being said, they should do a better job of marketing most of their games lately. I feel like the last marketing campaign that really felt they went all out for was Halo 3. The marketing campaigns don't have to be that large again, but they should be more aggressive.

Halo 4 was also pretty big. That gamr was everywhere. But i agree their campaigns for last generation weren't as big or impactful as the 360 gen.



I just noticed "Cloud" now. When did they start adding it next to console and PC?
