In his Discord, Jez was more chatty:

- All Xbox first-party games coming to PlayStation, even Forza, Halo
- Xbox will be more Steam-like in the future
- Affordable prices, sales, more open for devs
- Future Xbox-Hardware gonna be for fans who want it
- Xbox hardware will be niche like Steam Deck
- Next Xbox will side-load Steam
- "I don't think they expect to ever grow in hardware"

he said "Nobody wanted to give Xbox a chance, so this is what they get with a Sony monopoly"

Nobody wanted to give Xbox a chance?

Poor fucking Xbox

They have had every chance to succeed with great IPs and they fucked them up
Imagine having :
Lost odyssey
Ninja gaiden 1&2
Halo
Forza
Gears of War
Fable
Crackdown
And more shit than I care to list.

Having all this then you decide to just fuck it all into the dirt with the fattest dumbest dick possible.

I hope one day they do a documentary on how Phil Spencer helped destroy this brand all while being heralded as its savior.

This fucking clown.
 
Anecdotally it is hard to predict some some
  • Starfield Shattered Space trailer
  • Metaphor trailer (but maybe not as it was shown multiple times)
  • Shin Megami Tensei launch trailer (as it launches 14th June)
  • COD trailer (short one)
  • Avowed (some other trailer I guess)
  • Indiana Jones
  • Visions of Mana
  • some Final Fantasy?
Plus a lot of possible wildcards. Do we know the timings?
 

I don't see any brand new releases going to other platforms day 1, apart from remakes or remasters.

I definitely see Starfield going to PS5 this year and a Gears collection but not Gears 6 (yet).

They're still talking up Xbox hardware currently for next-gen and that's pointless if everything goes multiplatform Day 1. I think they remain selective with the games they port over and ones that are at least 12 months after release.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Who is there to interview him? Thought giant bomb is dead now. All the talent left.

The original staff is all gone, but last year Grubb did the E3 duties. He's no Gerstmann, but he was pretty decent with the interviews

When they own 70% of our ground breaking childhood IP's you would have thought that in 10 years they would have done something great.

I'm hoping a gothic style Quake is on that list also. id Software has been on there next game for quite a while.

So as for actual new announcements what are the possibilities beyond the Gears one?

ID Software are yet to show what they’ve been working on since Doom Eternal

FH 6 is also a possibility, though I think they’ll probably want that for 2025.

Wouldn't Fable be 2025? Then again if the rumours of a next-gen Xbox coming early are true they may hold onto Fable for that. Forza when they do show it, it comes out the same year, so who knows?

Can’t possibly include everything in the title but quotes and summary below:
  • State of Decay 3 looks “far more impressive than its predecessor”
  • Gears of War 6 reveal
  • Contraband went through development difficulties.
  • Perfect Dark “shaping up nicely now.”
  • Heard about some nostalgic announcements for classic Xbox 360 RPGs
  • Iron Galaxy x Killer Instinct.
  • Will update on multiplatform strategy (Latitude) during the show.
  • Next DOOM title possibly going multiplatform (day 1?).
I've heard via trusted sources that State of Decay 3 does look far more impressive than its predecessor, with more attention to visual presentation being a core pillar. In addition, State of Decay 3 will also lean more heavily into narrative elements to immerse you in the game's world. State of Decay 3 will try to work individual community members backstories more viscerally into gameplay, to make their trials more impactful and immersive.
The Coalition has also been working hard to help some of Microsoft's other studios squeeze more juice out of the Unreal Engine, and we've seen some of the fruits of that in games like Hellblade 2 more recently. But now, it might be time for The Coalition to step out of the shadows, with rumors abound that a Gears of War 6 reveal may be on the docket.
The Initiative's entire structure was upended too during the development of Perfect Dark, moving from a flat structure to something of a more traditional format. Contraband, formerly (and exclusively) revealed by us as Project Typhoon has also had some difficult development since its reveal, owing to the pandemic in part, but also due to departing key directorial staff. At least in the case of one of these, I've heard that Perfect Dark is shaping up nicely now.
There's also always the potential for total surprises too. I've heard about some nostalgic announcements that should chase away the blues for classic Xbox 360 RPG fans, Microsoft also has Killer Instinct developer Iron Galaxy back on board, working on the franchise again.
When it comes to pillar franchises like Halo, Forza, and Gears, many are wondering where they might fit in Microsoft's multiplatform push, codenamed Latitude at the firm. We should be getting an update on that during the Xbox Showcase period as well.
I previously noted that I've heard there are more Xbox-owned titles slated for multiplatform treatment in the near term. I think an obvious example that we could see go multiplatform, as in Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5, would be the next DOOM.
