  • Xbox just can't seem to get things right. Redfall, from Bethesda, is the latest disappointment fans have to deal with and some no longer have faith that Phil Spencer and the teams at Xbox can deliver great games in the future

      Fine, honestly. The founder of Arkane left in 2017. This has more to do with that than anything else. Starfield, Hell Blade 2, Avowed, Fable will all be far more telling. Halo Infinite was bad because they tried jumping on the live service bandwagon.

    We're at the stage where Xbox has dropped the bar so low, that they think Redfall is acceptable as a AAA for $70.
    This means there's a possibility of this happening again (however small). MS has learned nothing in 5 years... Extremely concerning, because this should NEVER have happened in the first place.
    Sony & Nintendo have Zelda & FF16 coming up as exclusives.

      This is about the dumbest comment I’ve read all day. The entire industry has a renewed focus on making games more accessible, even RE4 remake has pretty good accessibility options. The state of Xbox has nothing to do with social issues or accessibility. Psychonauts 2 is filled with stories and themes about social issues and that game is great. Forza has amazing accessibility options and that game is consistently good. The problem with Xbox is their poor product management, communication and marketing.

      Honestly it's kind of a lose lose situation if they delayed it further or released it now. The game has very serious design problems that probably couldn't be fixed unless they completely rebooted it. They could fix the bugs and framerate issues . But even then if they delayed it say for another year and it's still a bad game, at that point might be better to just release it and start on the next project sooner.

    From what I had heard over the years from a developer friend was when Microsoft visited studios to look at games it was like a business meeting. When Sony visits the people sent are talking like peers and asking questions about developing the ideas and going into detail because they understand game development. Microsoft was just seen as suits. I think Xbox really needs a higher up that oversees the studios that understands game development but they're in a weird spot that hiring internally might not work because the studios/publishers they buy are usually because they weren't run well enough to be self sufficient.
    There's a reason that so many times we heard Phil be positive about a game he played early and have the game not turn out great compared to Sony looking at early God of War 2018 and borderline making them restart.
    People like to say Phil is a gamer and that doesn't equate to understanding game development. I mention Phil not Booty because honestly Phil loves to be the mouth piece and do every interview imaginable so if he wants the praise and awards then just like a quarterback it's his fault when Xbox is losing.

    I can honestly say that Ninja Theory is a studio I have zero doubts about. To me Bethesda has always had a reputation for games that were not quite finished. At this point I have no real idea what Starfield is other than a Bethesda RPG in space. I also feel part of this feeling of let down stems from nothing really big being released by third party studios either. So far nothing has really had that big wow factor on this generation of the Xbox. That's not saying there are not any decent games. Halo I feel suffered a lot because of all the time spent on creating a new engine. An engine that quite frankly does not compete well with other available engines. Between the new engine and this obsession to make every game open world is just lowering the quality of what we do get. Microsoft needs to wake up. They spent lots of money. They need to start getting a return. I fear too many of the big announced titles won't even be finished before this generation is over. Backwards capability and remakes can only carry the platform so far.
