Persona 3 and 4 codes are in. Expect a review of 3 from Genghis and I’ll be taking 4! I also have some physical persona related stuff from SEGA incoming that I’ll show off next month. Fun times

Have I been sleeping or has he been mostly active this year?
Say what you want about Geoff, but its amazing how he was able to grow his show. Sure, it’s not perfect, but I feel it’s improving every year.

Tom Henderson interviewing himself is it?
Xbox Two podcast is talking about if a showcase is coming up.
Curious of Jez perhaps knows more or just nothing but speculation. Something has to be up though, unless something drastic has happened internally to the release windows, but I don’t think so. I don’t want to read too much into Aaron’s tweet, but it really can’t have been about E3, can’t.
Of all the things I hope that Xbox does is that they have more than just one show a year. Don’t put all your bets on E3, have a few “Direct” styled streams, that way you can keep doing the 12 months thing for E3 while the other streams can contain stuff further out.

i haven’t seen a single “xbox fanboy” hankering for NIS or Falcom games lol. Most are pressed about bigger games from Japanese developers not very niche titles… and imo MS should be too. MS is more concerned with bringing DQ, Persona, KH, MH, japanese fighting games in general, and yes even FF back to the platform. And there are other series I didn’t mention that would still come before niche NIS or Falcom games.

Think it’s pretty much a given at this point. You can’t wait til E3 to talk about games coming out before E3 lol.

You would have to pretty silly to think Microsoft is going to shadow drop Redfall and Starfield lol like I get that people hate Microsoft marketing but to suggest they won’t have some sort of live stream or announcement video of the games coming out and more before launch is a bridge too far.
Expect
- A live Bethesda live stream
Or
- An Xbox live stream
One of these within the first 3 months of 2023, if they have tons of stuff to show, then it’ll be a Xbox stream and if they don’t it’ll be a Bethesda stream to focus on Redfall and Starfield only.
We’ll get shadowdrops on Game Pass. Let the word of mouth do it’s thing!!
Get some jokey tweets after the fact and a month later Xbox Youtube channel uploads a trailer.
Maybe Microsoft should buy a few spare SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket, paint Starfield and Redfall on the side with the release day then and drop it out of the sky in public places like Times Square in NYC and London randomly on launch day, without any warning.
Sure it might cause some chaos but any publicity is good publicity right…?

Im just expecting xbox to drop the ball and we basically have nothing all 22 and most of 2023. I hope im wrong. Lots of gamepass marketing next year 1st hald and if they do close on ABK soon they can get Diablo into gamepass and that would be a W
Lol so you delaying everything an extra 6 months?

yup strong gamepass push which we are seeing with monster hunter and wo long plus more then last half of the year push 1st party. this also gives more polish time for the games.

Yeah… I wouldn’t be surprised if some of those games doesn’t make it to first half but all of them? Nah, lol.
I expect all of them in H1 and then 3-4 more in the second half. It’s time.
