Albeit they bought their way into most of them, Lmao. But they also have their foot in the mobile market now as well which is another hard thing to break into. It allows them to focus on improving other areas of their business, content portfolio and I personally think the single-player titles under a reasonable budget are a lot less risky nowadays than trying to break into the GAAS market, allow Avowed's, Psychonaut 2's, etc, to fill Game Pass, one and done games. But so many people nowadays literally just play one game, it's crazy, Lol. There's likely millions who only play Roblox, millions who only play Fortnite, millions who only play CoD... People don't have time for anything else. |
If anything, this gives me some hope at the thought of future games in franchises like Halo or Gears are traditional releases rather than live services.
Starting in May, Xbox should be popping off.
I'm going to try to predict what Xbox looks like starting in May.

I noticed the handheld Series S was not included on the list: A nonsensical DroidKnight prediction
...to avoid getting banned for inactivity, I may have to resort to comments that are of a lower overall quality and or beneath my moral standards.
That was harder than I expected, Xbox has an absolutely insane Q3/Q4...Kind of ridiculous in a stupid way, Lol. All that stuff and mine is an optimistic outlook but there's no way they can release all that without some things overlapping. They also have a few mobile titles but those wouldn't conflict with Console/PC release schedules, only bring Xbox more money, Lol.
Though honestly COD Mobile in March will bring in more money than most those releases combined...

Don't think it's this year, I think it could be 2025 and then their traditional console in 2026 but if the handheld is meant as a Series S replacement then they may launch it at the same time as the traditional console (in 2026, I expect). Although I'd love for them to release them separately because they should be different enough that I would likely want both and I don't want to have to make a choice between a handheld and a traditional console.
Apple is now backtracking on its plans to disable iPhone web apps in the EU after widespread criticism. Apple’s original plan would have broken PWAs like Xbox Cloud Gaming https://t.co/sI3BLIIfMU

I predict this will be the year we find out what the hell Zenimax Online Studios have been working on for the past 6 years! lol we just know it's a new IP.

And this is just one of 9 playable vocations so far. Amazing what you can do when you're not renaming your games, trying to turn them into musicals, or remaking a 30yr old game as a 10-15yr trilogy project. Less than two years between Dragon's Dogma II being announced and released, only a year after the first reveal trailer. That's some service if you ask me. |
Actually that video reminds me a lot Final Fantasy XV - the animations and all too which is pretty nice. I didnt get into the first Dragon's Dogma because it looked like a bland WPRG like game (I really should play more WPRGs and the first Dragon's Dogma to give it a try).
You can complain about SE's dealings with the FF series as much as you want but I'd honestly take anything they give over majority of other games and from other companies - there's so much variety like you mentioned original new games, spinoffs and remakes - wish more companies would be more open to do remakes like they have been (I'm not talking about FF7 remake but a lot of the other actual remakes they did like Star Ocean, Romancing SaGa, Mana series, etc).
Also about FF VII Remake...
I wish Capcom would be more courageous when it comes to their RPGs as much as SE is at least, it really seems like they only have confidence in Monster Hunter. Considering Breath of Fire has been a dead IP, Deep Down has been canceled more than likely at this point and Dragon's Dogma 1 (original release on PS3/X360) didnt sell as much as they thought it would which is why it took them more than a decade to greenlight Dragon's Dogma 2.
Lets hope Dragon's Dogma 2 sells more than the first game (and its remaster which seem like it sold a lot more than the original) and actually warrants them to invest on the IP more.

Spoiler!
(Also Final Fantasy VII Remake "Trilogy" isnt a remake - its a sequel).

Dragon's Dogma is for sure heavily inspired by WRPGs. I would say it is a WRPG made by a capable Japanese company. Kind of similar to how Chained Echoes is a "JRPG" but made by a Western studio lol.
For Capcom's first try in a long time in the proper RPG genre, Dragon's Dogma was fantastic. It's a weird game, don't get me wrong, but they made the core gameplay loop incredibly fun and addicting. And it looks like with the sequel, they're turning it up to 11!
I honestly prefer Capcom's approach to RPGs. They may not make many, but when they do, it's usually in their own niche that I end up loving! There's really not many game companies that make games like Monster Hunter, and when Capcom decided to change up the Monster Hunter formula, you got Monster Hunter Stories. Which is the best non-Pokémon game I've ever played lol.
I've never played Breath of Fire though. It would be nice if Capcom was able to cater to the traditional JRPG crowd with a new title in that series as a way to continue to broaden their playerbase. Especially now after seeing the massive success of games like Granblue Fantasy: Relink, Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth, Persona 3 Reload, and of course FF7 Rebirth.
I HIGHLY recommend you play the first Dragon's Dogma. When it released, I had just finished putting in an unknown number of hours into Skyrim. So going from that to feeling the fantastic combat in Dragon's Dogma, was a new gaming high for me!
