How big do you think Obsidian is? You're making them seem like they're EA... Every studio has multiple games in production (all you need is an idea and a few concept designs and you have a game in production)
The 4 years I'm referring to is a ballpark of when their true xbox exclusive will release on.
Future games might release exclusively to Microsoft depending on the wording of the agreement with the current publisher.

Knowing what we know now about obsidians new game, Microsoft was thirsty to get that studio bought under any circumstances... "you know our next game will be multiplatform and we will probably support this game beyond release? YEP! and you know we won't be able to make you a real exclusive for probably another 4 years? YEP! and you know you won't get a cent from the sales of this upcoming game? Yep! And you still want to buy us? Yep! Ok where do I sign?
There&...
There's Obsidian and the people behind We Happy few that also got bought before their multiplatform game launched, who knows if there's a pattern or those two are an anomaly from the studios they bought. One thing is for sure is those two teams xbox exclusive game won't come out for many years (middle of next gen)
Also we're hearing about Microsoft losing some play anywhere games to Epics new store. That one must sting since those are their cross playing pal...
Dude looked shook last night when he was talking to Geoff Keighley... Geoff politely said "xbox had a great year" Phil looked at him like he thought he was pulling his leg "could've been better, it will be better" Geoff "I mean like xbox had a good year" Phil started naming all the good things like adaptive controller without enthusiasm from being shook from that softball.... (i think that new Epic game store has him in his feelings...)
Knowing...
Definitely a game suited best when played in a social environment. Maybe part of me wishes the games was set in a 3D world where fights would take place in an open world level. That would definitely freshen it up, but would obviously destroy couch co-op (probably the reason they'll never do it) I really enjoyed my time with Spider-Man this year that fighting in a 2D level doesn't have that same satisfaction to it... Imagine pulling off all those smash combos and fighting on top of a s...
If Josef Fares doesn't take a shot at the Golden Globes this year, this entire show will be a bust.
"F**K the Golden globes!"

You must punch your mom in the face when she doesn't cut the crust off your sandwich? I bought the Wii-u version on media hype alone. Now you're basically saying "stay in line or keep quiet"
Sorry to have ruined your day.
I bought the Wii-u version... I won't say how I felt about it because you'll probably hunt me down and wear my skin as a coat...
Sorry your Highness... I'll be out of your way.
Thanks for taking the time to elaborate on some good points. The problem I'm still having isn't with the hardcore who live & breath fighting games. I'm trying to understand why randos like myself should care about smash? Gaming media keeps on shoving it in our faces like it's the second coming of christ. I bought into the hype and bought smash on the Wii-u and probably put 6 hours in the game total with my kids. I don't get it, this game is definitely not for everyone,...
Rocket league is fun and simple but it also doesn't have the amount of hype a Smash game has... Not really a great example
I get on paper why this game is soo hyped and popular, but in reality I have a hard time understanding the appeal of a fighting game... No mater what cut sceen happens before, you're just going to land on a 2D map and fight randos over & over and over again... My fighting game love started and ended on the SNES
This will show off the power of the X!
What's hilarious is that Epic is taking a major shot at Steam, but accidentally punching Microsoft in the back of the head in mid punch...
Microsoft :"what was that all about Epic? I thought you were my bros! We cross played sony together and now you're going to take a shot at us?"
Epic:" you mad bros? Don't be, people will still use your online pc store to play Sea of Thieves... So... We good?"
Where are they getting that 10 millions for Microsoft? They haven't even sold 40 millions in 5 years and they're predicting that they're sales are going to ramp up in year 6 with zero compelling games on the horizon?
2 points lower than Sea of Thieves... They must really hate it...
Wasn't the 4k disk drive the best thing about owning an Xbox? It's starting to smell like 2013 all over again... I guess that old Microsoft arrogance is creeping back in....
Microsoft basically side stepped it this year. They had their conference off campus and before E3 officially started, they didn't have gaming booths on the E3 floor. All they had was mixer booth... Sony leaving probably spells the end of E3 as we know it
I wouldn't be surprised if Microsoft follows suit... I really love E3 and this comes as a big shock, but we've been seeing the writing on the wall for years and when E3 biggest Domino falls the rest will follow and the show will crumble.
Well with one game this year, another one next year. Unless you're expecting a AA indy title for 2020, they're probably going to be a significant buffer between 2019 and their next game (that's if it releases in 2019) Plus what's the rush? Let them make the best game possible for Microsoft or what's the point of owning them?
