I’m really looking forward to Stormgate! Pretty much where all Blizzard RTS devs went to was Frost Giant lol. It’ll be FTP too, so Blizzard may wanna keep an eye out on this game to see how to handle a modern StarCraft!

My personal preference, without any valid reason, would be to exclude CoD from the goals (until it's on a 2 year cycle) or use it to raise the goal to 5/years with 2 in the last quarter. CoD certainly fits the bill of Highly anticipated and blockbuster but, idk, it just fill like using cheat code to achieve your end game XD as it's too predictable.

Do you think MS may also have some trailer for their upcoming series/movies or would it be too out of place at TGA?

Don't think COD is being counted Tbh...Just a hunch but I feel like the goal of 4 AAAs a year was made without COD in mind and the talk of them finally achieving it happened before they owned COD.

Probably Fallout TV Show will be shown at TGAs, Grounded and the Gears TV Show/Film haven't entered production yet.

I had a thought for some time and I think Xbox is now in a position where it would be possible for them to do something alike.

Let's say you make 2 game an RTS and a FPS in the same universe like Halo wars and infinite, but those game are game in their own right but what if they can be combined for ESports. Like your team will consist of a mastermind setting objectives issuing orders and producing assets playing in the RTS settings and a teams which will resolve orders by fighting FPS matches against the other teams. 

The map available in the RTS view would be a collection of smaller maps in which instance of FPS matches can be fought independently of each others.

The FPS matches would likely be unbalanced due to diverging objectives between both team mastermind so player skills could shine. Like a masterminds may sends a single spartan in a sections with a scorpion and the objective to hold the section and simply preventing the other team from capturing it while sending the brunt of their teams capture other section in hopes to create a way to reach enemies base. The assets production would give players different starting equipment, vehicles, varying amount of re-spawn, varying amount of supporting AIs etc... 

This will give a kind of dedicated E-sport way of playing and a more player oriented new look of a meta-verse settings. and this idea may be expanded upon to include even more diverse sets of interconnected games which can all be games in their own right while also be played in a MMO style with other games. Like a space colony game which have players producing goods for profits while a space exploration games need to buy those outputs for exploration trips and uncovering diverse settings ripe to create a space colony which could then be auction to player of the first game. 

Even after one of the genre's best years (especially w/ late console ports), TGA's continual disregard for a Best Puzzle Game category never ceases to amaze. Unless you can sneak it in as a hybrid for a 'Best Platformer,' good luck being credited on your GAME DESIGN. Fuck them, the horse they rode in on, and the cavalry behind them.

343 made absolute BANK!

And of course, Geoff just sees one thing lol

Frost Giant wasn't happy with this tweet although it would be like bringing back old colleagues similar to Obsidian and inXile.
