X-BOX Megathread 2023

[Ruki]

Fable to start. That's awesome! Wish we had more news of when we'll see gameplay or release...

[Bobfoc]

I don't want to be negative, but that's three conceptually interesting games so far with no actual gameplay.

[Ruki]

A Persona 3 remake!? I am so surprised!

[Bobfoc]

I realise this leaked earlier this week, but never mind. Persona 3 on Game Pass is very welcome.

I'm seeing "Coming 2024" a lot here. We can expect most of them to be delayed past then because that's just how things work.

[Ruki]

I'm glad we got to see some Avowed. It's not forgotten!

[Bobfoc]

I love Microsoft Flight Simulator as a calm virtual tourism game, but adding some proper objectives is a great move.

[Ruki]

YOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. LIKE A DRAGON 8!!!!

[Bobfoc]

Yakuza at a seaside resort seems nice. I hope there's a sandcastle building minigame.

Well, now I am going to be disappointed if there isn't.

But, 2024 is gonna be huge.

[Bobfoc]

I'm not sure regular Forza is going to grab me, but I'm keen to see what it looks like and how it runs. They're usually impressive in that department.

Even though it's yet another Persona 5 game, a tactics-based one will do me nicely.

[Ruki]

I do love that I'll get to play Persona 5 Tactics on Gamepass.

Wait, Starfield is coming out September 6th? I thought it was next year for some reason. I'll be off work at that time!

[Bobfoc]

Game Pass certainly isn't lacking in content tentatively scheduled for 2024.

[Ruki]

AN ATLUS GAME THAT WASN'T SPOILED. I DUNNO WHAT THIS IS BUT I LOVE IT ALREADY.

OH! It's Project Re-Fantasy. That looks amazing! 2024 is somehow gonna top this year!

[Bobfoc]

Microsoft and Atlus seem to be well acquainted these days. Persona 6 is rumoured to be a PS5 exclusive, however.

Also, call me dull, but I'd like a release date for Age of Empires IV on console. I hear the control scheme for Age of Empires II on Xbox was very good for an RTS.

[Ruki]

Starfield is giving me No Man's Sky vibes, with Todd mentioning going anywhere. I want a solid story and RPG mechanics. 

[Bobfoc]

All those intricate details on the items actually strike me as a negative. Either the artists have been made to work ridiculously hard on something superficial or, if not, the game probably could have come out ages ago.

This definitely looks like 30fps, which will send the internet into a tizzy.

The best screen: "Play it Day One on Gamepass"

The worst screen: Anything with the word "CoOp" in it

[Bobfoc]

The environments look great, but the faces don't. Yes, it's definitely a Bethesda game.

[Ruki]

The superfan from Oblivion returns!

Now that they've showed more of the RPG elements I am more interested. 

[Your Mom]

I like the starting backstory stuff. I'm very much excited to be a failed space chef  

Also I don't know about everyone else but I'm obviously only ever using the Robot as my companion
