It’s funny how so many of the devs MS snapped up just fit right into the bubble Microsoft is infamous for, where they never realize they simply aren’t making products at the same level of quality that their competitors are.
XBOX 2024 Direct Officially Announced: January 18 at 12pm PT / 3pm ET / 8pm UK |UP| Viewing information found within.
- Thread starter John Elden Ring
- Start date
They made the same MeToo Direct last year and that was the verdict:
Hifi = Flop
Redfall = Flop
Starfield = Flop
Forza = Flop
Minecraft Dungeons = Flop
What is it going to be this year
If Xbots don't support Single Player action games, that's on them. I'll bat for Hi Fi rush any day of the week. There was nothing wrong with that game.
The rest? I got nothing.

In a post on the Xbox Wire, Microsoft confirmed some details about the games it’ll be showing during the event.
Specifically, when they will be releasing.
“All the games in this year’s Developer_Direct will be arriving later, with more details to be shared in the program,” the post reads when answering a question about game releases.
One thing Insider Gaming sources have mentioned, however, is a fifth game being shown during the show. That said, it’s not expected to be a major game.
Nice to watch the years’ first PlayStation 3rd party showcase.
they will say nothing, will report it in articles or blogs afterwards.
Oh, for sure, like when they showcased a 3rd party game at every E3. But now it's their own games.

My guess is if they don't announce any ports today that Xbox fanboys will declare premature victory and argue that all of the rumors are false.
They're not going to announce ports during the show. Expect a tweet. Whenever that will be.
I enjoyed the first Hellblade, but it wasn't OMG. It needed more game play for me personally. I hope 2.0 rectifies that. I don't know anything about Pillars of Eternity, so Avowed is a wait and see. I just don't know much.
Same for me with Hellblade. I rated the first game an 8.0/10. I enjoyed it for the most part. Just hoping Hellblade 2 has deeper combat and stays around that 10-15 hour time frame and I will be very happy. I'm into Avowed but still want to see more. I'm most interested in Indiana Jones because I want to see if it's 1st person, 3rd person or both.
I'm looking forward to the dualsense and SSD features they end up implementing, myself.
Extreme delusional fanboyism ITT.
Microsoft may show games, they may even look interesting - avowed has my attention, but without a release date withing the first six months of 2024, it will be more open promises.
I hope some section of the presentation discussed how they're improving previously released games and how they're supporting them moving forward. If they declare old games dead, then why would anyone think that their new releases wouldn't be DOA?
Then again, American corporatism conducting honest feedback and a post-mortem is a laughably optimistic notion.
4/10 conference.
