For my blue-only-brethren's sake, let's see if they get a chance to play the mediocrity some time next year as well.
I'll be there day 1 in December with impressions and pictures.

If true. I wonder if this really is a timed exclusive, or just them needing more time to complete the PS5 version. We dont know when development switched to include PS5. Especially when we consider overall development wasn't very long for this iirc. Just seems weird to only have it exclusive for a few months. And unfortunately I dont trust anything Xbox themselves say.
Anyway, I hope it turns out well. I have felling it might only be good, rather than great.

The game was first announced in 2021, it was most probably in development for some time before that.
Seems like a current standard 4~5 year dev cycle.
A good game will be great and a great game will be good, too.

It is so weird to me that right when MS gets to be the biggest 3rd party publisher in the world, that's when they decide to just forget about their console and trying to bring people to their ecosystem and Gamepass and go for something completely different: sell their games everywhere.
They always seemed a bit all over the place and never really sure what to do. Never betting 100% on something but this...damn.
They probanly realized that whatever they earned from extra users was still not that much when compared to selling their games everywhere, but it's still something weird to see.

It’s a move from a company transitioning away from consoles and into 3rd party publishing.

It looks better when they decide how they want to judge to put the brand they live and breathe for in the #1 spot
The celebration would look much more muted if that posters brand was actually in the #2 spot
But he has always been honest he bleeds blue

Yeah I thought it had only had 3+ years... regardless, I'm a little nervous with machine games. I enjoyed Wolfenstein 2, but it wasn't for me top tier amazing. I'll certainly keep my fingers crossed though.The game was first announced in 2021, it was most probably in development for some time before that.

Huh. I wasn't aware that he was a combatant in the console wars. But that explains some things.

Mate, your post history here goes back as far as your jaysimple account, some of us were still here back then as well. Let's not forget your admittance that you allow the way Xbox is treated to affect you on a deeper level after the CMA situation during the Activision saga.
Other people (thankfully) are not the same as you. This is very much a you problem that you ought to deal with.

Funny, I remember some of us saying something similar when MS acquired Bethesda and around the time Game Pass launched.
You were right. I think there were many saying gaming in the console space especially, will be wild over the next few years.
It's going to get crazier I think.

The difference here is I don't give a shit, I don't make myself look like a fool constantly console warring because I play everywhereYou two act like there is still a console-war going.

There you go again, 'console warring', effectively making your post console-warring.
I don't even see any competition between Xbox and Playstation.

There are always those that are “console neutral” but end saying things like “But Nintendo is just better” at the end.

You may very well be right but I think there’s a marked difference between Star Wars and Indiana Jones.
Even with Disney fumbling the ball on it, Star Wars is an “evergreen” franchise with trilogies that cater to three different generations, with a wide array of extended universe material including decades of critically acclaimed games (even if most of them are now considered outside of canon by Disney). “Being” a Jedi in video games has been a power fantasy for, well, as long as Star Wars games have been around. So it doesn’t surprise me that a game like Jedi Fallen Order would do well.
Meanwhile, Indiana Jones really only had a ten year heyday, for the first three movies. Spin-offs like TV shows and novels never really went anywhere. While Star Wars was a vehicle for kids and merchandise, Indiana Jones was a love letter to the Greatest Generation and Boomer radio and dime novel dramas. Most of the attempts at bringing Indiana Jones into video games have been middling, with other properties iterating on the Indiana Jones formula better than Indy himself (Tomb Raider, Uncharted).
I’m not sure the audience is there anymore to make an Indiana Jones game successful. Star Wars will always appeal to kids and young adults. Indiana Jones is for their boomer grandparents. Not exactly a strong gamer demographic.
I agree with your assessment about the brand itself, but I also think that what ultimately will decide the fate of this game is simply whether it's any good. Gaming is more flexible than film because filmgoers generally go watch a movie for the IP or the star power. Gamers are more willing to check out a game even if it's a new IP or weakened IP if the game is great and has really good gameplay. I'm with you that the Indy brand is damaged and the brand alone is not enough to get me to check out this game. However, if the game comes out and everyone says the game is awesome and super fun to play, then sure I'll check it out.

I feel I am pretty "console neutral" because I will play where the games are because I own them all but in the end I still have a preference because I like the hardware better on one
Maybe that doesn't make me neutral I guess, I dunno actually

was*I'm a console neutral but I say "But Xbox is just better" at the end.
It’s time to start referring to the xbox in the past tense.

Why do they always need to bring PlayStation into this?
Xbox knows they can no longer "win" the console war and now these memos have been sent out, marching orders, to start the campaign its all about the games now
Side note have been saying for awhile now Xbox next system will not be of the traditional type
The higher end "console" will likely cost much more than what we see now but will run Steam
Will their plan work?
I don't know
Before people jump in and say "Just buy a PC" you will still have console only games to play, even if only timed like GTA6

Exactly. Nothing wrong with a preference. Own it!
That said, I’m a little surprised to see a certain someone engage the way that they are. Puts things in perspective, though!

Tbh I always consider people who can't admit to having a preference as being dishonest by nature.

Agreed nothing wrong with having a preference as I actually prefer the Xbox hardware especially the Elite controller over the Edge if nothing else I have gotten used to the 4 paddles on back and not limited to just 2
I hate ignoring people here because someday they might actually add something of value but when the same few people constantly take shots at one side or the other they earn that ignore
