The Xbox Developer Direct will feature a secret unannounced fourth indie game, Fable in development for PS5

Now it's claimed that the show won't only feature those three games. According to Shinobi602, who has a history of reporting confidential information about upcoming games, the show will feature "a 'secret' fourth game."

VGC can corroborate this and understands that the fourth game is a promising indie title from a third-party publisher.

Fable was announced in 2020 as part of the Xbox Games Showcase. The game, which is a reboot of the Lionhead RPG series, doesn't currently have a release date. It's understood Fable is also in development for PlayStation 5.

My missus absolutely loves Fable and can't wait for the new one, not having to buy a £500 console to play it would be great!

I assumed it would be a shadow drop on GP since its a surprise title. There aren't any big "indies" coming up in late Jan besides MIO. Replaced is 3/12. I guess we'll see.
 
Can we stop talking about Xbox published games also being in development for ps5 like it's news? I think that ship long since sailed the second Halo was announced. If that is coming then clearly everything else is coming.
 
I truly wonder how long this multi-platform approach will last.
Why would it ever end? They have abandoned trying to sell Xbox Series and their next device is a $1000+ PC that would be lucky to sell 10m.

There's nothing to wonder lmao. They have zero reason to not put their games on PS anymore because they don't have a remotely successful hardware business to push.

Forever

Microsoft weighed up the risks of putting every game on PS5 knowing full well that it would kill Xbox console sales (which it ended up doing) and went ahead with it because there was huge money to be made.

Pretty sure Shinobi originally said the 4th game was from a team that already released a game last year as well but then he removed his post

Virtuous did release two games last year.

Your mistake here is that you somehow think there is even a multiplatform approach. Better believe that within MS, the PS and PC are now considered the primary platform.

Why do you think the next Xbox is a PC?

In addition to having all the third party, the PS5 now also has Sony first party, including Xbox first party.

It's hard to do better than that for a console right now.

If you don't have a PC, the choice is easy.

I wanna heal,
I wanna feel what I thought was never real
I wanna let go of the pain I've felt so long
(Erase all the pain 'til it's gone)

I wanna heal, I wanna feel like I'm close to something real
I wanna find something I've wanted all along
Somewhere I belong

Yup, and as far as Halo Studios are concerned PlayStation support is now a long term foreseeable effort

 
PlayStation saving Xbox Game Studios by giving them a huge audience to sell games to.

There will be 100m PS5s in the wild by the end of the year.
Yeah I mean this is the reason they're going multiplat. The potential userbase just increased 3x.
Plus, no Gamepass on PS5 so it's all real purchases as well.

Indeed

Going full third party didn't just kill Xbox, it made PlayStation stronger.

Microsoft knew this would happen and did it anyway.
 
They learned nothing from the Oblivion disaster. Or maybe they are doing it on purpose since it sold so well after a shadow drop without any reviews that wouldve covered just how shit of a port it was.

eh ...

As of November, Oblivion was still in the top 10 best selling games of the year per Circana. You can't get a year's worth of consistent sales like that just on the first few days of no-reviews.
 
I've heard from my sources it's a remaster of Morrowind by Virtuous. They've been working on it since 2023 alongside the Oblivion remaster.
Apparently that's why there hasn't been much in the way of updates/bugfixes on Oblivion, the team moved over to assist the Morrowind gang.

Just gives these devs no incentive to sort performance out if lemmings buy anything they're shown with an alluring name attached to it

Sure, I guess the same logic applies to most (all?) of Fom Soft's console lineup as well.

Agreed

I think it would be bigger news at this point if Xbox wasn't developing their game for PS

I agree with both of you, but I think we're still in a phase of denial. I've still seen people speak and act as if Xbox is going to forge some grand comeback and this nightmare they're living in will end. All things considered, this being the new reality is still a relatively recent development.

I think it will still be a little longer before it just completely settles in. Especially when it comes to games, what few that remain, which were announced before this new status quo hit. Though, as long as Xbox still puts out consoles, there will probably always be a little flicker of hope from die hard fans who will only let go when death embraces them.

Plus, I can't deny that I do enjoy seeing it said again and again with each game that comes out. If for no other reason than knowing everyone who acted like a total jackass while denying it has to eat yet another plate of crow. Which isn't even exclusive to one fanbase.
 
Makes you wonder what games Xbox Series will be remembered for when people look back in the future.

It's a console with zero identity now.

I don't think Xbox Series consoles will be remembered at all when looking back. As you said, zero identity. Even the name of the consoles is wack. Xbox One had more personality and nobody barely remembers that console either.

People remember the Virtua Boy and the 3D0. Everyone on this board will be dead, buried and forgotten. Their kids will be dead buried and forgotten. The Xbox will be remembered after that. Some of the things people say are just so bizarre sometimes lol. All this board can even talk about is Xbox.

3DO and Virtual Boy had loads of exclusives though that weren't on any other console.

Were they any good? Not really, but they still gave the consoles identity.

You don't even have one.

It's the best console around at the mo, give it a try...

I have a PS5 Pro and a Switch 2.

What games would you recommend I buy an Xbox Series for?

I like owning physical games, so GamePass is out for me as a reason.

Do you think it is a better console than PS5 Pro?

Xbox game studios is on its way to becoming the biggest 3rd party publisher thanks to activision and Bethesda. And soon Forza + halo coming if the games are good. I think they made the right choice for their buisness. This will make PlayStation and Nintendo bigger gaming brands for sure though as they are the go to platforms for gaming.

it was front loaded. After debuting at 1 in April, at dropping to 4 in May, it disappeared from the top 10 by June, and then the top 20 for the rest of the year.

The only reason it was in the top 10 for May was because it launched so late in April. I believe it was April 23rd so may was its first full month. it had dropped to 16 by June, and then never made top 20 again.

It was literally the worst port on PC since maybe the OG TLOU1 remake. Absolute garbage. Even on consoles. They are all cunts who know exactly what they are doing.

Still better than every other Bugthesda initial release in the last 3 decades. You probably have no idea how much worse original was on contemporary hardware.
