At this point I take something stealthy, something like Prey or even something action just give me the masterclass of lvl design.
Lol it’d be one hell of a purchase too. SE was stupid to waste such a great studio like CD on a goddamn avengers GaaS. I suspect the likes of Darrell Gallagher left right on time having anticipated this mess?
Rise of the tomb raider was probably peak CD, but I think their writing always seem a lot to be desired, compared to someone like say, Naughty dog who makes similar games.
I’m so ready for the rumoured Arkane Austin Vampire game. ImmSim expertise + Vampires? It’s like heaven for me…

Hope so. Lol.
So we’re all in agreement the collector’s edition of Indiana Jones should at least have a Drew Struzan cover or artwork right?
I still want to play Psychonauts too. How did it aged? I heard it is the most creative platformer on the market and still good…
Have I mentioned that I’m excited for the xbox lineup?
It’s pretty good but those expectations seem a bit hyperbolic 
Very fun 3D platformer with a unique hook, I’ll say that

After reading things like this, it wouldn’t make any sense to have them stay multiplatform

I’m more about the setting. :@●
I see the value for Microsoft to bring games exclusively to Xbox and Xbox Game Pass in the future. It’s an ecosystem play that’s vital to their future. But, games that are already in production (Wolfenstein 3, Starfield, etc.) could just be released multiplatform. Currently the ‘cloud’ and ‘services’ competition isn’t as fierce. So having the game come to GP day one is already a powerplay.
Before… I was known as Under_The_Killing_Su… from which I took with me from my days of ResetEra asshattery.
At long last, the name of old shame has been washed away… I come to you now as …

I can see Wolfenstein 3 being multiplatform. It’s the end of a trilogy and it’s been on development for quite long time. Also games that have a Online Focus, like TESO and Fallout 76.
But Starfield, Arkane Austin next game, TES VI and whatever Zenimax has in development (yet to announce) needs to be exclusive.
MS needs to send a message that if you want to enjoy Bethesda Games, you have to jump in into their system and services. If i can play Starfield or the next TES on the PS5, why the hell would i get a Xbox, or subscribe to Gamepass? Even though MS would receive $ from those PS5 copies, the main goal of having new subscribers into their services / systems wouldn’t be accomplished

So where do we line up to get our Avatars with Indy hats?
Ah ok thanks, I had no idea about this.
Yea I think it will be exclusive until proven otherwise I will be assuming that

If Indy was going to be multiplform it would have said platforms at the end. If it is exclusive Xbox won’t say till aquisition is over.

Another thing to consider here on why it will be exclusive. Think about Netflix paying for exclusive rights to Marvel franchises, or reboots/sequels of previous movies.
It’s no different here with Game Pass. Some very interesting exclusive content will be bought now that Game Pass has 15-20 million subscribers. Games rarely sell that many units but now Game Pass enables that entire base to have access to that game. The model has transformed.

Same here. It’ll have been 4.5 years since Prey when late 2021 rolls around. Unless their work on Wolfenstein Youngblood occupied the entire studio. If that did happen, it could be a 2023 release. UE4 instead of UE5 tells me it’s an early 2022 release. UE5 will be available in 3 months.
