He says that every year since... I don't remember.
That's become ridiculous and already a meme, how can people not seeing that ?

Anyway, he's not supposed saying otherwise, that's his job but come on, stop it Phil. Most of the time, silence is better.

Less talk, more facts please.

t

hey just released rush. They released more than sony in fact.

Its January.

Hifi rush just came out on the 25th, minecraft legends in April and redfall in May. These are the games and this is when they're releasing...

Me looking for Forza's and Starfield's release date like

 

[Forsythia]

Heard this so many times. But I'm glad we got Hi-Fi RUSH, and release dates for Minecraft Legends and Redfall. And of course AoE2 next week. They just have to keep this going.

 

[Markio128]

Then you're probably in the wrong thread



Man answered all the questions sent his way. Not sure what else you expected. Game announcements?

Are you Phil's mum?

2022 .

I hope starfield is not a buggy mess lol

 

[ManaByte]

Kinda think they might Shadow drop Starfield.

That would break some people.

Some people still don't quite understand
When someone asks "Where are the games?" it mean AAA projects
Sorry, but Xbox can release at least 100 AA and indies, but this will not unlock the potential of the most powerful console in the world

Im everywhere. But u guys can crie about multi millionaires who are doing extremly well.

I think the only one crying over here is you. everyone is taking the piss of Something a ceo said for pr reason

 

[El Pistolero]

I must profess my admiration for this guy: He talks so much, without saying anything at all!

 

[DeepEnigma]

Good thing they bought ZeniMax/Bethesda to get the games this year they were going to get anyways via 3rd party, eh?

I'll take 100 AA games on par with High on Life, Pentiment, Hi-Fi Rush, Psychonauts 2 over 1 AAA game and call it a colossal victory. These AA games are the foundation upon which the future of gaming will be built, while a studio that pumps out some airline food AAA blockbuster every five years just absolutely kills all the momentum.

You can take whatever you want
But, this is the most powerful console on the market, and they should already show what it is really capable of.
Hi Fi rush, Ask Dusk Fals, Pentiment
All these games will not sell new xboxes to Microsoft
All these games will not give a lot of subscribers for GamePass
These are not system-seller blockbusters.
Namely, these games are sorely lacking Xbox right now

You mean like xbox?

Other companies aren't having as much problem delivering AAA game on the regular.

 

[Dick Jones]

That would break some people.

First it would break Todd Howard to see his game thrown out there with no hype. Shadowdropping Starfield would be the dumbest move going by Xbox. I shit on Aaron Greenberg but he's surely not that dense. Whether the rumours on issues in development are true or not, it would be best to have Starfield in November and leave May/June to Zelda.

 

[j.k.2021]

It's funny how people don't understand that Xbox have 20+ game studios now.You can't wish games out of thin air.It takes five years to develop AAA games.If Xbox is able to deliver on promised 2023 games then this will be the turning point for Xbox first party.

Thats good for you but its not gonna move consoles

Mr Shadow mod your assumption is false again in what world did a i bait for console warring im 29 years old i couldnt care less.

i read gaf since 2 years. This threads are a circle jerk. phil sucks, jimbo sucks.

these threads repeat every month to weeks. i mean i get it you guys need the traffic for good reasons. A forum costs money.

but in no way did i intent such childish nonsense. sure i make fun but who doesnt? If joking is warring then when do i know what is safe and what not? i really dont get it. i will only joke about games from now on is that waring too?

I mean you can have my psn shit is what 15 years old by now i dont even know. steam 18 years old, xbox live is retarded it only counts when you have gold and i did often not have gold. since mp is free on pc. fuck me i go back to reader only

Literally no one asked them to announce their projects so early

 

[DenchDeckard]

Time for talk is over Phil....2023, deliver or it's time to move on.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

It's about content at the end of the day, which they just gave us...content. Their hands off nature paid off in this case.

. you don't say.

exactly, is about the content. AND THE CONSISTENCY OF RELEASES OF SUCH QUALITY CONTENT.

something that MS has and keeps struggling for years. plus New IP creation and AAA development.

A little game being in development years before the acquisition by a subsidiary. is not an indication of anything; especially (and the reason for the reactions to Phill's statements) when he keeps saying the same thing and keeps falling.

They bought studios that already existed and were actively developing games. You hardly think Starfield, Hi-Fi Rush and Redfall started development in March 2021, do you?

talking about crying.

 

[Eddie-Griffin]

Theyve been light on games for 5+ years.

Ironically, the last year they had an influx of games, 2013-14, was because of actions by Don Mattrick. Also the biggest and fastest sales frontload Xbox ever had.

We are 9 years from then.

[ANDS]

Whats your point i stated a fact. I dont give a fuck about the market. I care bout good games.

This is a very "me centric" comment to what is and has always been a "the entire video game community at large" issue. . .because of course it is. Odd take from back to front.

That would break some people.

It would certainly blow my mind and I'd be all for it.

It's like listening to a broken record... Who still buys this?

 

[{insert code here}]

They better hope Starfield isn't a bomba. If that game is anything short of BotW, GOW, or Elden Ring levels of quality its going to be a tough couple years for Phil-Sama.

It's abundantly clear now, at least to me, why and how important the Bethesda acquisition was for them. All of their big blockbuster games going forward are essentially former multiplatform Beth titles/franchises.

 

[ByWatterson]

I'm so torn on this guy.

On the one hand, I love my Series X, Gamepass, I still put a whole lot of hours into Halo, and I love how diverse Gamepass is and especially how it functions for game preservation.

On the other, I don't always feel connected to the brand and its franchises. It feels always like Xbox is trying to figure out what they're all about. It's not quality (Sony has that on absolute lockdown), it's not iconic moments in gaming (they haven't had a truly landmark title in...a decade?) and the diversity of experiences is mostly third party buys.

Perhaps 2023 changes that. Here's hoping.

 

[X-Wing]

"Phil says stuff" could be title of any article including one of his 1001 interviews.

 

[Windle Poons]

"Could"?

Is the main word to take away from everything he said

 

[gokurho]

Phil Spencer: Well, one thing with Game Pass is we're kind of in unchartered territory in doing what we're doing with Game Pass in the industry.

It is confirmed that Unchaeted is coming to Game Pass.

Over 250 posts in little over 2 days. Was always going to end in tears.

 

[Isa]

Interesting read, thanks for the post OP. Really looking forward to the content they've got in the future, along with the impressive Gamepass lineup. Don't forget Age of Empires 2 in a few days. Gonna play that with the buddies. We've been gettin' down with Monster Hunter and they are stoked for the new expansion in ESO.

 

[JayDucker]

lol what the internet would break

That would break some people.

The only thing broken when Starfield drops, will probably be Starfield.

 

[BbMajor7th]

It's abundantly clear now, at least to me, why and how important the Bethesda acquisition was for them. All of their big blockbuster games going forward are essentially former multiplatform Beth titles/franchises.

Fair point - the way they've maintained and developed homegrown IPs over the past fifteen years has been pretty dismal. The exciting stuff now is what they've had to buy in.

 

[bluecowboys]

MS did win publisher of the year in 2021. In 2023 they could do it again with Rush, Forza Motorsport, Star field, and red fall. Only Nintendo has a chance against MS this year in my opinion.

Sony and Nintendo first party had down times before too. PS5 2021 first party lineup was weak imo with ratchet clank and returnal. PS4 first three years was weak but turned out to have a great line up.

 

[SenjutsuSage]

Blah blah blah.

Where's the games Phil? When??

Hi-Fi Rush, quite literally one of the very best video games I've ever played, is right there for you to go play. The "where's the game" narrative is losing steam real fast because that game is it. It isn't just an amazing game. It's an all-time great game based on what I've played so far.
