John Meadows from goozernation writes, "The date is May 21st. Microsoft is finally set to reveal the next Xbox. Microsoft has been really tight lipped about new features for both the console and Xbox Live. Sony announced the PS4 almost 3 months to the date. Has Microsoft waited too long to reveal the new Xbox? Are they going to have some mind blowing features to take some of the thunder away from the PS4? We don’t have too long to wait, but while we do, let the rumors fly!"
Games such as Mad Max, Red Dead Redemption 2, and Batman: Arkham Knight desperately deserve a modern-day revisit.
"Hammerwatch II's journey to Xbox has been long and perilous. After first launching on Steam in the fall of 2023, the game finally turned up on PlayStation 5 last December. Since then, Xbox gamers who enjoyed the original Hammerwatch and the sublime Heroes of Hammerwatch have been anxiously awaiting their turn at the long-promised sequel. At last, the wait is nearly over because Hammerwatch II will hit Xbox and PlayStation 4 on April 23," says Co-Optimus.
Joe 'Three Sheets' Neate (Executive Producer): "As I’m sure you can imagine, when it comes to Sea of Thieves my days are full of numbers. Development costs, active servers, days until the next update… Sometimes, though, a truly extraordinary number stands out – a number like 40 million, which I’m incredibly pleased to say is the number of pirates who’ve now set sail in Sea of Thieves!"
Garrr... more people to walk the plank and send to Davey Jones locker.
would have been funny to release this on talk like a pirate day.
40 million have set sail...that's great. How many are sailing now? Monthly active users....when it actually matters. How many people purchased the game is another important number.
40 Mil across Stream, Windows 10, and Xbox. Healthy numbers for sure, but when PC is the biggest platform, I expected more. It’ll be interesting to see how it does on PlayStation. Very well could be double that player count in 6 months with PS too. It’s crazy for developers to skip the most popular platform, not sure why they’d want to, but they must have had their rea$ons.
I buy a TV to watch whatever is hooked up to my TV.
I buy a phone to make calls / text.
I buy a console to play games.
If I wanted apps, I'd use my phone's apps, or my TVs apps, or buy a tablet or laptop...
I think this could bite M$ is the @ss if their focus on games takes a backseat. But then again, if they're smart about marketing and PR, it might be a major success. This coming gen is going to be very interesting.
Yes, they could make a big mistake with the new Xbox !
Of course they could. As could Sony. As is Nintendo.
Are articles that end with a question mark starting to fray on a lot of peoples nerves?
They could just like any other firm. Take Nintendo for example before the Wii U was announced people were hyping it up to be the ultimate next generation console that would be perfect for games. After the Wii Us release people suddenly realized that Nintendo made several mistakes with it.
The same can happen to any firm even Sony with the PS4.
