Xbox Details Plans For Gamescom 2024, Including Daily Livestreams This Month

I hope to see the Towerborne release date.

@somnambulance "No specific mention of Indiana Jones?"

Might be saving it for the September PlayStation Showcase......

(I kid, I kid! Probably...)

@somnambulance Shattered Space DLC, Avowed and Indiana Jones have stage presentations on the show floor. You just can't play it yourself much like Starfield couldn't be played last Gamescom.

Would be happy to see a bit more of Flight Simulator 2024 - it looks insanely good

@somnambulance
I can see Avowed for 2024.
But Indy I can see a delay and with Stalker 2 now maybe releasing November 2024 that fills the Indy gap.

@somnambulance
Got that wrong just hearing a delay to Avowed until early 2025.

Well if Indy gets delayed to 2025 then that’s a flat year from Microsoft yet again.

Can't wait. I'm from Germany and will be there ☺️

@somnambulance
I’m sort of assuming maybe wrongly though.
Avowed and maybe Indy 2025.
Meaning Fable etc that was 2025 will be 2026.
So just add the following year into the supposed release date.
So E day maybe 2027 to 2028.

I know there are plenty of reasons or excuses for game delays, but developer studios are not the same nowadays and it’s all excuses me.
And sometimes when we get the games you are best to wait at least 3 months for patches for performance and bug issues and better quality of life features.

I would love to inside these companies and studios in the last three years to see what is actually going on and going wrong.

And I don’t care what the world says working from home is affecting game development.

I have seen at where I work, time wasted, poor communication, the email and message warriors, wrong items worked on, lack of direction and focus and management.
To the point our owners are planning to get all back into work as I work closely with them and have been adding work facilities etc in readiness.
For the record I attended work at work everyday.

Their section at Gamescom was dope last year. Waiting time for things was just too long though & the Starfield team grossly over hyped the game. I enjoyed my playthrough enough though. Hope they cut back on load screens.

@somnambulance
Starfield was ok but it’s old fashioned engine and the way Bethesda programme it felt like a ten year old game in a fast modern gaming world. The loading was terrible and graphics outside not up to big AAA. The gun play was ok especially in doors. And of course it was way overhyped.

It ended up a bit like Halo Infinite, big hope that never lived up to near the best games out there and what they should have been.

I still stand by FH5 being the best AAA they released overall outside of HiFi rush.

I would not be surprised if it continues that way with Avowed and Indy and even Fable etc, I’m afraid. Not up there with the best big AAA games and falling short in some ways. Around the 85 metric type games.

I don’t think we will see a GOWR, TLOU, Mario Odyssey, BOTW game level from Xbox nowadays.
I would very gladly be proven wrong though.
