What would you rather them use?

This exactly, demos and games should never use cute women, it’s just ridiculous. They should all aspire to the gold standard that is the last of us 2. Women are not meant to be attractive and should never be portrayed that way even a little bit.... /s

@DJStotty - a hulking, gung-ho Space Marine!!! /s

And they are just finishing up Wasteland 3.

That would mean they (Sony) would have to make a simple player that's NOT an Redbox rental. Well... Not counting Horizon Zero Dawn and MLB the Show.

@rumor

Touching on your Horizon comment. I don’t care what the sales dictate and what people on here try to claim, Horizon Zero Dawn was a success strictly by marketing and originality of the Robotic Dinosaurs concept. It was my most disappointing Sony game of the generation (and yes I platinumed both Days Gone and The Order). The story was not that great, the world had nothing to do in it other than hunt robots and take out camps (and in monster hunter there’s actual depth and rpg mechanics to make the hunting fun). Did not care one bit about any of the npc’s. 5 animals to hunt with only 3 rarity tier levels. Upgrades were bare bones. I literally wanted to get through the game as fast as possible. They claimed that they toned down the depth of the game due to them being concerned that younger audiences wouldn’t be able to keep up. I’m pretty sure if kids are playing Final Fantasy no problem, I don’t see their logic on this one.

@Rangerwalk

And yet the best games to come out every year are always single player games? Besides most of the best multiplayer games this gen have been multiplat which guess what? You can get on Playstation. In fact the biggest MP game COD gets first dibs on Playstation... Uncharted 4 multiplayer was great, so is GT sport for competitive racing.

They are showing what almost all their 15 studios are working on for Series X. Plus 2 more acquisitions and some third party stuff...According to the rumour anyways.

Outside UC4, all those games were intended to release sooner than they did. UC4 got a delay, but all the others were delayed much longer, or even put on hold, much longer than would have been expected.

3 years really wasn't out of the ordinary to announce games being released before this gen started. It only became an issue and a way to bring down a company this gen, as Xbox fan boys desperately tried to downplay Sony's own games by saying they were years away. It's even something that Spencer latched onto early after taking over, stating that he wouldn't show games too early. This fervor by Xbox fan boys ironically became something they weren't so worried about as the generation progressed, and in yet another example of Spencer not keeping true to his word, have shown games which were 2-3+ years from release, either due to delays, or needing to pad out their truly pathetic game output this gen.

@rainslacker
I don't really care whether it is Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo or whoever, or whatever the issue I just don't want to see any game unless it is going to release in the next 12 months.

Anyone trying to justify any company's behavior of showing games that are greater then 12 months has no ground to stand on no matter what the reason. It is not like any of these companies intentionally have these long lead times, but when they are going to say they are going to do it, I want to see it happen no matter what the company name is. Public game delays should be an exception, not the norm.

I don't mean that CR3 was bad but it was not what was promised and they were under pressure in the end to produce.

Things happen in development that can change a game beyond the initial vision and showing it too soon can be detrimental to that organic change because of that initial expectation set.
CR3 may have been a better game if it didn't have to live up to the expectations that initial demo set.

You will definitely see that, but not from Playground. It seems that Obsidian is working on an RPG (The RPG that convinced Microsoft to buy them).

Nope, Fable is like zelda or final fantasy. They all have some recognizable and familiar elements to them, but each time the setting, characters, and story are different. Unless you dont like final fantasy or zelda ways of doing RPGs then maybe not.

Fable is an established and beloved Xbox franchise, MS build Playground´s 200+ employee new RPG studio from ground up and has been empowering that studio with big talent name from the industry for a reason. Another powerful talented British video game developer to honor and do justice to Peter Peter Molyneux and his former studio, Lionhead. :)

But you guys don't like your single player games?

Ummm....What you suggest MS making themselves into, is what people used to know them for. I think, what you meant to say is that Spencer doesn't want people to know what MS has become to be known for this gen, which is a company that doesn't work to support their console, or give players a reason to buy their consoles.

I'd be fine with that, if that's what you were trying to say, but you spent the whole generation saying that Spencer was doing a great job, even before he started doing a great job.

@rainslacker

"Ummm....What you suggest MS making themselves into, is what people used to know them for."

How people used to know MS in console market before Spencer:
- A company that cannot be trusted since they will drop support for their consoles in a heartbeat (Xbox 2001-2005)
- A company behind the dudebro console (Xbox 360)
- A company behind the always online, DRM, Kinect, Sports and TV focused console (Xbox One under Mattrick´s leadership)

"I think, what you meant to say is that Spencer doesn't want people to know what MS has become to be known for this gen, which is a company that doesn't work to support their console, or give players a reason to buy their consoles."

Well, for Xbox One´s players, generation isn´t over AND, will not be over till 2022.

As far reasons to buy an Xbox One console goes, I´m 100% positive that gamers has more reasons to buy an Xbox console under Spencer´s leadership, than YOU had when you bought yours.

"but you spent the whole generation saying that Spencer was doing a great job, even before he started doing a great job."

I didn´t spent my time asking for the guy´s head or calling him a liar when he said he would invest in new first party studios and games when he got promoted, that´s for sure. I put my trust in Spencer since the beginning, and I glad that my trust is paying off in spades.

You see, while some people are feeling deceived, angry, jealous and bitter, I´m happy, excited and hyped by Xbox´s future and it´s games. Good for me. Not so good for them. It is what it is. Life goes on.

Happy gaming. :)

Because the type of games inxile make cater more to a pc base than a console base just like gear tactic does.

Galmi@ what do you mean what is wrong with me?

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
