Xbox One Lineup In 2017 Will Not Be Defined By Halo/Gears, Phil Spencer Says

There you go,you can believe now.

Because as I keep pointing out, but you refuse to listen because you are buying into some kind of trumped up false narrative, I don't hate Xbox- I will give it credit when I see it doing right things, and I will criticize it when I see it doing wrong things. It is how I am with everybody.

Its not insulting, its pointing out facts

Well they do have an RTS coming out soon, which Is pretty varied.

oh wait, you were just shitting all over it on the other thread, quit pretending like you care.

Are you mad that gamers like me game on multiple platforms? Is it because you don't have the financial means to do so? Personally, many of us gamers that have been gaming since pong enjoy games on all systems, not enjoy systems. I love the fact that I can get multiple games and enjoy them. I wouldn't want to miss out on games like Nier, or Last Guardian, or Sea of Thieves or Quantum Break or ARMA or WOW.

What I don't understand is why some select gamers are so obsessed with other gamers that enjoy all the game options and don't limit themselves.

BTW, please provide us a link that shows 51% or more of the games on the Xbox One are 720p. We will await answers to all these questions when you reply.

So far this year the assumption is Forza 7, Halo Wars 2, Crackdown 3, Sea of Theives, Cuphead?

So a yearly racer, an RTS, 2 open world sandbox online games, and an indie game

Seems pretty diverse to me. I don't care much for halo wars 2, cuphead or forza 7 personally but Sea of thieves and Crackdown 3 seem right up my alley for sure. Would love to see Crackdown make a summer release and SoT make a holiday release with the scorpio.

I noticed the same thing with the biased Xbox community and the biased Sony community and them both switching back and forth. It's sickening. We wish they would just enjoy the games available to them.

Cool! LOL

He won't provide shit and you know it, just cow spitting garbage.

I also like how they use the 26 million as a bad number, that's amazing with no japanese support.

True...and the 26 million has already been debunked by gaf. It's higher. But we won't let facts intrude, we will go with a survey as fact ;)

Cuphead is not a first party game, I believe, but the rest is about right.

You are correct. Studio MDHR is independent.

@kvally: LOL you're the last person that should be requesting links and proof. Nearly every word you write smells like made up doo doo.

Can you please provide a link that shows more than 26 million xbone have been sold?? No you can't. Also regarding financial means, I have a very good career which takes up most of my time. I'm glad you're able to play video games all day for "every platform". I'm sure your mom doesn't mind you stinking up her basement and using her electricity lololol.

So you can't explain why you have issues with gamers that enjoy owning and playing on multiple consoles?

Where is your source for your claim of 51% or more games on Xbox One are 720p. We are still waiting.

@kvally: nice deflection attempt you clown. System wars as a whole is still waiting for you to provide proof for any of the things you say.

We are still waiting....

Look at blackbond embarassing himself on his alt account lol

and I'm sure Phil means FOrza 7

So you can't explain why you have issues with gamers that enjoy owning and playing on multiple consoles?

Where is your source for your claim of 51% or more games on Xbox One are 720p. We are still waiting.

@kvally: i have no issues with people playing on more than one console. I just have issues with people propping up a console that objectively has lower quality games, has only sold 26 million (less than half of PS4), and has a fanbase that will swallow whatever nonsense their lord and saviour Phil tells them to.

And then we get cheerleaders such as yourself that constantly post lies. We're still waiting for proof that the bone sold more than 26 million...

So you have no issues with multiplatform gamers such as my myself. Glad we got one of the two cleared up. Next up, the source that shows 51% of Xbox One games are 720p. You made the claim, I didn't. So you need to back up your claim with proof.

@kvally: Sure. I'll back it up once you start backing up your claims. Sound fair?

I agree, less talk and more action from Phil now.

I don't know what Phil means but I know E3 better have some new IP's that will come out at the very least holiday of next year.

That is my problem with any potential new IP announcements- unless they have a firm date (like you said), or are showing sufficiently optimized gameplay footage, I can no longer be sure that announcements made even at E3 won't be inevitably cancelled later. Phil needs to announce new IPs that restore confidence that also actually end up releasing within the next 18 months, all demoed in playable form. You are absolutely right.

@charizard1605:

Pretty much, I can't even get that excited anymore when I see new IP's announce now cause in the back of my mind it's like, "will this actually get released smh". I get it if he does and I'm hoping announce and show off new IP's that they will take at least a year to get released but once you start seeing these games drag on and on, you know it's on the verge of being cancelled. I like Phil for the things he has being saying since he took over but now it's time to actually start delivering on his promises.

There's always other games coming to Xbox just like every year.

Besides the big ones we know about like Sea of Thieves, Halo Wars 2, Crackdown 3 and State of Decay 2 stuff like Conan Exiles, Cities Skylines, Osiris New Dawn and a bunch of indies I played at E3 last year (Pit People, Cuphead, Below, Skylar & Plux, Yooka) are still on the way not to mention the stuff they haven't shown yet. Yeah they aren't 'exclusives' but they will be on Xbox.

Realistically none of the consoles bring out more than five AAAs a year anyway. Sony likes making big lists but the reality is they put out about five a year as well.

Combine that with the multiplats and Scorpio I think Xbox will be OK.

Edit: and if they bring out VR support for Elite Dangerous and Forza 7 in native 4K on Scorpio that's already enough for me. ?

Oddly enough, the problem with games getting canceled and delayed has been a staple of the Sony systems. It just seems like MS matched them most recently with canceling Fable and Scalebound. I wish Sony and MS would stop doing that, stop delaying games, stop canceling games and stop closing studios.

The difference is that Sony has a larger volume of games and studios to begin with- three or four high profile cancellations sucks in that context, but it's less than 10% of their total output. On the other hand, three or four cancellations or shut downs is literally half of Microsoft's output- and that is an issue, no matter how you try to spin it.

I will agree with that. If you cancel 2 games but you have 30 coming out then your fanbase will be alright. If you cancel 2 and you only have 7, then you not looking too good.

"Madden 2018, best experienced on Xbox One!"

Yeah. I just hope MS manages to get this issue sorted out, they've been in the industry long enough that they should have figured this out by now. But again, Spencer seems genuine, I will give him the chance to show me that he really is trying to work on it.

I know Sony USED to have a large volume, but it's been trickling down lately as they have closed multiple studios in the past year. And they are not publishing many more games than Microsoft are when you look at the marketshare they make up. If MS barely is publishing games with 6.2% of the market (units) and Sony is 7.1% of the market (units)...and Revenue is 5.6% from Microsoft and 7.1% from Sony, then Sony must be pretty dismal as well.

This is in the UK, as of January 12 of 2017. I do not know where the same numbers are available from any other source for different countries.

Way to feed the anti fans. we just recently got the finest Racer and TPS in FH3 & Gears 4. He's got Sea of Thieves, Halo Wars 2 and State of Decay 2 coming shortly and with others like Crackdown 3 with totally destructible environments with Mighty StormCloud power to boot, something the others can only dream about.

X1/PC Win10 FTW. Yeah baby, Yeah ! lol :P

I get it that it's hard to make games, it's not easy cause if it was we all would be doing it and I believe Phil had big plans and ideas but up until now he's been falling a little short. Other than the Scropio, he doesn't have 1 thing that he can really hang his hat on with all these games being cancelled, although I hope that Phantom Dust does really come out. I hope he has a great showing at E3 though.

Ehh, Sony have not released a whole lot of games over the last few years, so this makes sense. Last year, they had three retail game releases in the UK, three. That was them on their worst year. Microsoft had four retail releases last year, that was an average year for them.

Sony at their best can release a game a month- in fact, in the latter half of the PS3's lifespan, they were often doing just that.

It's supposed to come out before E3! Let's hope it's good.

I was gonna say this game....but apparently indies only count on the ClosedStation, lol

Me feeding the "anti fans" LOL. I guess with tomato head admitting he follows my every word on here you do have a point but that is never my goal. I just speak what's on my mind whether someone agrees with me or not. I speak about what I observe, notice and realize over the course of time and right now, MS isn't looking too good. Although, I want State of Decay RIGHT NOW.

Please let it come out before E3......I loved that game on the Xbox. Did you ever play it?

Can't argue with that. The latter part of the PS3 life was great. My PS3 died, which frustrated me, while I was playing TLOU...and never got to finish it, and play a bunch of other games I wanted to play on it. With the PS4 coming, I chose to not replace my PS3 with a new PS3. I was glad that TLOU came out as a remaster on the PS4. I haven't quite finished it yet, but I am a lot further than I was on the PS3. I am not very excited about the game, but I am glad I am experiencing it. The best part to me is the story. It's a solid game, as are many of the others I didn't get to. Oh, and I missed out on Journey and was able to get that on the PS4, which was my GOTY last year. Journey was amazing. And now so far this year, The Last Guardian is my GOTY. Not sure what can beat it at this point, for me.

@BigShotSmoov007: @kvally:

" I want State of Decay RIGHT NOW."

I dunno bout you guys but to me there's not enough time in da day to play all the excellent games available for the X1/Win10.

So once again...

Oh and also, I not normally posting this late in the day but many of mah international communications seem to be down? Lol. :P

Afraid not! I never owned an Xbox, and used to go to a friend's to play. Loved playing Morrowind, Knights of the Old Republic, Ninja Gaiden, and of course, Halo on that thing :)

Yeah, and... I guess I just want to be able to say that I got an Xbox system for amazing games that I would otherwise feel bad about missing. Spencer has so far delivered one of those games- just a few more, and I will be pushed into an Xbox purchase. I am hoping that happens. Sea of Thieves, so far, looks absolutely great, and I hope it turns out well.

@charizard1605:

Shame on you.

you are correct. I wasn't thinking 1st party at first and then i realized 1st party only and forgot to take that away.

I was a kid haha, I had already pushed it getting PS2, Gamecube, and GBA SP.

Ah well, it's still a game Xbox gets this year that others don't :)
