TLOU factions 2 was announced 5 years ago, still ain’t seen shyt from it. And this is an established studio with an established IP. What’s up with that game??

When the Initiative starts putting out games on the scale of naughty dog and receive the accolades they have, then they’ll earn the benefit of the doubt.

Damn shyt is a hot mess if this is true. No gear 6 announcement in site, haven’t got any new info on hellblade, Halo infinite in limbo, Starfield getting push backed from its initial release. Seems like microsoft was too worried about gamepass that they lost focus on creating games for it. I wouldn’t be surprised if alot of these games carry over to the series x successor if there is one at this point.

Yup even with TLOU2 the 1st trailer we got was in 2016 the next was like 2018 and that's a game with that has a foundation. We didn't get the game till mid 2020.
I don't expect a trailer until at best The game awards this year, MAYBE and that's if it drops in 2025.

Will Perfect Dark by *checks notes* Crystal Dynamics also be worth the wait that The Last of Us Part 2 was? :jbhmm:

Who knows it possibly could be.
Regardless of that rebooting a IP from scratch with a new team and squad isn't going to be a 2, 3 or even 4 year turn around. Truthfully the game shouldn't make it out until at the earliest late 2025, and that's if everything was going smooth.

This game was announced way, way too early.

Wouldn’t even be shocked if the game gets outright cancelled.
This is probably MS biggest mistake of the current gen. They tried to emulate what sony did last gen, but you can't do that without having a healthy lineup of games that prove the wait is going to be worth it. MS actually has the opposite of that with there 1st party games...

Everything they have hyped up 1st party wise has been lukewarm to a dud. Crackdown, recore, state of decay, ryse, bleeding edge... the list goes on and on. Regardless how much I like or enjoyed some of those games or the niche small crowd of folks that really liked them ( well some of them lol) the hype that they got put behind them has always fallen short of the product. Especially when put next to sony and nintendo 1st party titles.

And for the crowd of people who are mostly single player gamer's the reason for them to buy a system is based on their 1st party games. MS has failed over and over there. That is also the loudest group on the internet and social media, you even see that here on this forum. When there isn't a 1st party PS game for them to play the forums on fire trolling and talking about everything but games.

Anyway MS needs to go back to how they tackled things in the 360 day and the way sony won with the PS1. Getting 3rd party exclusives locked on your system. That way you don't have stans and fans breathing down your next for every little morsel of detail on 1st party games, bad or good.

Xbox had great games. Xbox 360 had great games. What the hell happened to the Xbox division?:dwillhuh:

The Xbox division also needs to be headed by a gamer, not some old greedy cac in a suit. It's like nobody know what they're doing.
