Topic: The everything Xbox thread

@-Green- Platinum admitted that they were not able to develop the game and that was not Microsoft's fault. Rumour has it that they were using Microsoft's money for other projects.

Platinum Games is the same company that started crowdfunding for The Wonderful 101 Switch port after the port was already developed and then they said that they needed the money for advertising.

Saw that article while researching about it. Never heard anything about that rumor with them using the money elsewhere. Seems like the general explanation is both bit off more than they could chew and were struggling with communication and goal.

Still really like the idea of Scalebound and it'd be cool if Microsoft does well that maybe, with Platinum being in better shape now, they could give it another shot.

@-Green- I read the rumour on Nintendo Life but I couldn't confirm it. What you say is correct. I don't know what will happen. To be honest, I really don't trust Platinum Games but if they admitted their mistakes and are willing to do it and Microsoft agrees (they own the IP) then I guess it would be cool if done right!

@BlueOcean

Where does that guy get his supposed release dates from? He made loads of claims like Starfield is holiday 2021, and Fable isn't until 2023. He said it like those were facts?

@Dezzy It's all about the upcoming games, it's the number of high-quality games what matters here (Xbox has no games, duh) and every single game is confirmed to be in development. Don't mind the dates, it's just a guess but I think he is being quite conservative in that sense. It's a great video because it shows small games as well that few people know anything about.

Call of the Sea looks interesting. Everwild too, but it has the same problem as Fable, and many others. There's no gameplay available yet. I've never played a Fable game, so I need to see more. But going by the sounds of it, some of these games are still years away, so actual gameplay trailers may take a while. I can wait though.

I expected Hellblade 2 sooner TBH. I still haven't played the first one, and I've bought it years ago...

@Octane How do I write something using a smaller font?

_{What do you mean?}

@Octane Don't be cruel, tell me!

@BlueOcean Small text is removed I think. But you can use sub/superscript. (sub)(/sub) or (sup)(/sup).

@Octane Thank _you!

It would be nice if _{more Series X preorders ^{were made available}}.

@Grumblevolcano Which one did you pre-order?

@BlueOcean None, wasn't able to get Series X in the first batch and I'd rather wait for another opportunity to get Series X than get Series S.

@Grumblevolcano It makes sense, no point in getting a Series S if you want the X. I hope you get a chance soon.

How is old @ThanosReXXX doing actually? Haven't seen him around in a while.

Who else is going to be playing this .... ?

@BruceCM
Will be the first game I buy when my Series S gets here

I'm gonna wait for the next gen patch, hopefully early 2021.
