    I don't think Indy is 2024. It's weird that they showcase it rather than Towerbone which has a 2024 release date. Probably they want to slap a 'Exclusive' to its trailer for everyone to see with all the discussions around Xbox exclusives are going around

    (During the FTC hearing it was confirmed that Bethesda / MS renegotiated the initial agreement with Disney to make Indiana Jones fully exclusive)

    Anyway, super excited for Avowed, Hellblade 2 and Indy in any case. Pity that we don't see anything from Double Fine or more from Towerbone.
    Towerbone might be a different game than what you're referencing. That title sounds like more fun to be honest
    Haha touché

    As an 80’s kid I’m curious but skeptical about Indy. Hope it’s good!
    Go Dawgs! Let’s go for 3 in ‘23!

    Makes me sad to type that out. :/
    Switch... 2? Is that officially a thing?
    Not officially announced, no. But heavily rumored for 2024 release sometime between summer and end of year.

    If we can get a great game for Alien AND Aliens, then there's hope.

    Also, these guys made Escape from Butcher Bay. They know how to do licensed games well.
    State of the badass art.

    Oh wow, very curious what that'll be like. My Switch is easily the best console I've ever owned.

    Not much I'm interested in here, I guess Avowed. I do enjoy these types of conferences.
    I'm escaping to the one place that hasn't been corrupted by capitalism...SPACE!

    b-b-but, I thought Xbox was going third party?

    Fanboys in shambles right now
    We will see very soon. I will just take a picture ;)
    Sounds like wishful thinking from you.

    No. That’s the reality. Xbox is dying.

    I'll never understand why low Gamerscore accounts feel the need to post on TA of all places to troll/console war/spread wishful-thinking FUD. The inferiority complex is real.

    Makes me sad to admit you're probably right.

    It's as if having a first party or even third party exclusive is taboo to Microsoft. They are so afraid to hurt their competitors' feelings while Sony and Nintendo would rather self-destruct than share their exclusives.

    Microsoft wants to hold hands around the campfire and sing Kumbaya, My Lord, while Sony and Nintendo will take turns urinating on the campfire.

    You can't please everyone all the time.

    What I am afraid is that if they decide to release Xbox games everywhere, people won't have any reasons to buy Xbox consoles (which already do not sell as much as the competitors) and then, third party support for the platform will go further down (we always see games skipping Xbox). Let's see what will happen. I invested so much on this echo system.

    This dev direct literally features Indiana Jones, which we know from court documents was once a multiplat until MS went to Disney and negotiated to make it exclusive.

    I'll never understand people who downplay everything to gamerscore. Is that your only argument? Just look around what's happening - no console marketing, putting games on other devices, half-baked games at launch and even Series X people have to wait for games because of Series S. MS wants to be everywhere so be ready for that. SoT is just a start.

    I'm confident in MachineGames making something cool with it.

    If you remember last years Direct all the games shown were meant to release b4 the June showcase...a deep dive into each game before it releases...Only Motorsport got delayed...so its very possible all these games are going to be out before June which would be insane...its not hard to see either cuz surely June showcase will show us a bunch more games coming for the 2nd half of the year and beyond...rumored Forza Horizon 6, Gears collection, Contraband, newest COD etc, can't have everything big coming the 2nd half of the year

    My only argument? My guy, your entire argument is as desperate as can be. In a topic with an Xbox developer direct where Greenberg confirms these games are for Xbox, PC and Game Pass, you say that we'll see Xbox go third party "very soon" and that you'll even take a picture (...what? lol). You're as transparant as a cube of ice. laugh Also, Xbox marketing? The thing they've sucked at and put no effort in doing for 2 decades; that's whatcha got? And putting games on other devices? Can you link me these games that got ported? Oh, that's right, you can't.

    But let's get back to that "argument." Your last achievement unlocked was 5 months ago and you have 9000 gamerscore. Yet you log into TA (again, of all places) to console war. Make it make sense. I can only guess you've been laughed out of other forums and have to try your luck here.
