Is the 25 year anniversary next year?

If it is. Its obvious they are are trying to create some mega hype year. Maybe new hardware?

I was not bothered about any other game apart from fable. That game is taking forever. I wouldn't grade the show more than a C or D for the fact that was missing.

Honestly I'd not worry about Fable, the developer is one of the best and this looks really ambitious. A strong C for me but a few notable missing games, namely SoD3 and Gears E Day the former being the one I would actually be worried about.

I've not played state of decay too much but it was interested in the new one. When was that announced again? I remember a CG trailer with a deer haha

 

[SamuraiEdge]

Looks like everything is in good ol' 2026. Wishing everyone luck when it comes to free time for it because it's going to be the biggest in years counting GTA 6. Fuck knows how I am going to fit it in when my little one will be over 1 and when the true fun begins with energy galore. Fuck lol

 

[DenchDeckard]

They absolutely need to land 2 out of 3 games next year and for them to be dope.

Expect delays as always

 

[Ozriel]

Unsurprising how OP doesn't have a thread wailing about no Wolverine at the SOP.

And Gears E Day was revealed in 2024, just last year. How is it a deal breaker that it wasn't shown off at this event?

"Next year" is ALWAYS the year according to Phil.

For anyone not hamstrung by petty platform wars, they've certainly been delivering games now at a steady clip

Surely it's not even that anymore given Microsoft's push to more multiplatform titles.

 

[lh032]

They are asking Sony permission when to release the trailer

Wolverine wasn't announced in 2020

Old habits die hard. It'll probably be a few years before they wean this shit out

Wolverine wasn't announced in 2020

2021, yes. 10 months after Perfect Dark. But you're crying in the thread title about a Gears game announced in 2024

Didn't insomniac suffer from a pretty serious data leak?

 

[Buggy Loop]

« Samey » first person shooters with Clockwork Revolution? InXile's next game « samey »? GTFO

 

[Mattyp]

You're joking right? The game was shown in like 2019 and has been delayed further.

So delayed in Covid like every other single title? They're saying it will release next year for the 25th anniversary it will release next year would bet a year of gold on it.

 

[Shubh_C63]

Its just bizzare they haven't put Gears 2,3 on PC.
We even got RDR on PC before that.

Lol, it was delayed from 2025 to 2026. What are you on about with Covid?

 

[Calverz]

oMG you guys. Like yea where are these games???

 

[Deputy Moonman]

It's hard to believe that we're almost halfway through 2025. I would love to see a new console released at the end of next year to coincide with the 25th anniversary. Release it with the next main Halo game and I'm all in lol. Release Fable 4, Everwild, Perfect Dark, GoW E-Day through the Summer of 2026, and then finish the year off with Halo and a new console.

 

[YeulEmeralda]

Yup. Announce game during launch year and take the entire generation to put it out.

It's still possible to make games in 4 years you just need to know what you're doing.

 

[Three]

I've not played state of decay too much but it was interested in the new one. When was that announced again? I remember a CG trailer with a deer haha

Another game announced in 2020 when they were trying to hype the launch of a now dead console with CGI trailers.

 

[Mattyp]

Lol, it was delayed from 2025 to 2026. What are you on about with Covid?

It was originally delayed from COVID and production slowed, this impacted all release deadlines obviously. I believe the developers even talked about it at one point.

One year delay for the 25th anniversary is going to result in a highly polished game, doubting Playground is something new even for you but

Look, you can keep doing these silly mental gymnastics but the point is very simple. It isn't rocket science:

They've always released when promised

Playground Games: "Coming 2025"

Reality: Not coming 2025

"Always released when promised"

 

[Ozriel]

It was announced in 2020, not 2019. .

Gears one is fine but the PD and Fable management is some horseshit. Fable especially they keep talking about it without showing much of anything and now it goes radio silent? Can't convince me that MS aren't incompetent.

The management of Playground games - one of the best studios in gaming - is now 'incompetent' because they refuse to align their marketing plans to suit you

 

[Evil Calvin]

Where is State of Decay 3?.....reveal trailer was in 2020............

 

[Horseganador]

Where is Fable, Everwild, Perfect Dark, Gears, State of Decay 3 and many other games that were announced more than 5 years ago? You mean... it was a major smoke sale by Xbox.

 

[Gambit2483]

It's weird they still call these Xbox shows. I'm sure most are just watching to see upcoming PS5, Switch 2 and PC games.

Calling it An "Xbox" show where 80% of the games you can play everywhere else

That's definitely a choice.

Why would we need another Console that would sell even worse than the current X/S Generation?

 

[Fake]

Are they still trying to decide if Perfect Dark will be a first person shooter or a third person shooter?

Because this sure is crazy.

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

Last thing I heard about Perfect Dark is that the studio helping got bought and told to prioritize Tomb Raider.

Last thing I heard about State of Decay 3 was sexism and bullying allegations.

 

[rkofan87]

Last thing I heard about State of Decay 3 was some sexual assault allegations.

wtf!!!!!!!!!!!??????????????????
i bet he call himself a male feminist lmao.

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

wtf!!!!!!!!!!!??????????????????
i bet he call himself a male feminist lmao.

I guess it was sexism and bullying. Misremembered.

State of Decay studio Undead Labs faces allegations of sexism and bullying

A new report says studio management has failed to adequately address complaints.

so not that bad then.

 

[noob smokes]

They were shown way too early. This is why PS doesn't do that anymore and ya'll give them shit for it. The quality of their shows suffer. But. At least you'll know you'll play those games within a year when they're announced.

Dammed if u do dammed if u dont lol

 

[Arsic]

Honestly, I thought the same thing at first.

Then, the power of Microsoft's Xbox strategy is fully apparent.

It's an off-year for them and they don't have to show any bangers, the bench did fine.

Doesn't soften the blow for anyone expecting info on those games but it definitely proves their point, IMO.

Every year is an off year for this shit head company ran by retards.

Xbox 360 didn't have off years.

I'm just glad I get gears on ps5 this year.

 

[Fbh]

Announcing things when development has seemingly just began is still biting them in the ass.
They've gotten better in recent years but MS still loves doing their "next year will be the best one ever, for real this time!!!" thing

 

[Dural]

Where is Banjo-Kazooie?

Or anything from Rare that isn't Sea of Thieves? Every year I hope for something new from Rare and every year I'm disappointed.

 

[LordCBH]

Honestly I can forgive E Day for skipping since they showed the trailer of Reloaded, which comes out in a couple months.

But Fable missing after what feels like 100 years of dev time is just absurd.

 

[Ozriel]

Where is Fable, Everwild, Perfect Dark, Gears, State of Decay 3 and many other games that were announced more than 5 years ago? You mean... it was a major smoke sale by Xbox.

Which Gears game was announced more than 5 years ago?
How is 2020 'more than 5 years ago'?

Announcing things when development has seemingly just began is still biting them in the ass.
They've gotten better in recent years but MS still loves doing their "next year will be the best one ever, for real this time!!!" thing

This talking point became meaningless when their first party started drumming out games in a steady cadence.
They're already delivering now.

 

[Woopah]

I get waiting to show games coming next year or beyond. But Gears is scheduled for 2025 no?

 

[Xbox 360 slim]

Glad to see other people are seeing how much of a lunatic OP is. Absolute fanboy of the highest order.

 

[powder]

Fable is getting delayed so they can make the lead character uglier

 

[Deputy Moonman]

Why would we need another Console that would sell even worse than the current X/S Generation?

Why would it sell worse? There are a lot of people who still enjoy the xbox brand and ecosystem.

 

[RetroGamingUK]

Odd, it's mostly people with green avatars and "Xbox" in their name that say that.

 

[Jesb]

This show showed that PD is on life support.

 

[Life Diff]

It was announced in 2020, not 2019. .

No, it's incompetent because they revealed something then have only shown cutscenes since then and now have gone radio silent. Have we even seen an extended peak of what the game looks like from a gameplay view? Bizarre strategy by MS who seem intent on deflating all hype of their own franchises. Next you'll tell me the one more thing being CoD is good strategy.
