The next generation of Xbox is coming, and when Microsoft step to the stage on May 21st to finally confirm what the Xbox 720/Infinity/Durango/Next (or whatever they finally call it) will consist of, there will be bombs aplenty dropping all over the show. We know that the company has promised to leave the gaming focus to their E3 presser next month, but it wouldn’t be a hardware reveal without some sort of gaming content, would it?
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.
Think Halo is the only one on that lists' that is worth noting.
I remember PGR4 was good during it's time with bikes and some good tracks but now isn't as and has been surpassed by Forza.. and I once loved to death the very first PGR on XBox.
Unless it's going to be totally overhauled to match Forza, am not sold.
Would be nice to see something *actually new to fit the "next-gen mantra".
Shenmue 3 and Killer Instinct would definitely sway me into getting the next Xbox. I think they will have something special in store from Rare. Either way I'll be getting the PS4 first since the games on Playstation consoles are more my kind of thing.
Halo multiplayer 24 v24 or 32 v32 big maps big air land battles.
I think if they show the actual console people will go nuts, of course you'll get people who will claim to not like the design, but that's going to happen anyway.
I want to see the console, for me that would be huge. I don't expect a ton of secret games to be shown, Microsoft will want to save the big news for E3.
daft punk is also releasing an album on May 21 and its my birthday :D
