Microsoft's next-generation Xbox could come with launch titles from EA and Forza developer Turn 10 Studios, the company has hinted.
The platform holder is encouraging its Twitter followers to tweet @EA, @Xbox, @PlayXBLA and @Turn10 in order to win entrance to its briefing at E3 this year.
As of right now, there are no monopolies in the games industry, and for the sake of the medium as a whole, they never should either.
And yet the biggest tech companies in America are essentially that. They buy up all the small comps only to kill them off and steal what they have, and if they can't buy em they bleed them to death.
They buy IPs not talent. That's why these buyouts never work and the IPs die. Right now it's too expensive to develop games - but I expect that to shift maybe as AI tools can make it easier. The best games have been indie games for awhile as big developers fuck their ips to death with "games as a service" -
Wardens Rising is looking like a promising new take on the ARPG genre, especially when played with friends.
"The Bristol-based (the UK) indie games publisher Auroch Digital and indie games developer Positech Games, today announced with great happiness and thrill that their hit-political title "Democracy 4: Console Edition", is coming to consoles (PS4, Xbox One, and the Nintendo Switch) via digital stores on June 5th, 2024." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
Wait there's going to be EA games and a new Forza?!?

Forza 5, Battlefield 4, Fifa 14 and Dragon Age III for the Next Xbox.
I'm thinking that they'll reveal a bit of gameplay from GTA V....... it's possible.
The next Xbox reveal might also reveal additional games for the PS4.

There's no way EA is making exclusive titles for MS, they sell more on PS3 than any other console. I do suspect Microsoft has paid a lot for exclusive DLC though(instead of exclusive games/studios, sigh)
