"The lie of the year, at least in regards to gaming, probably has to be Microsoft claiming the Xbox One vs PS4 hardware battle isn’t that lopsided."
Disney Dreamlight Valley devs have officially teased the second part of the paid expansion titled The Spark of Imagination.

Waiting a decade for new instalments in franchises as massive as Fallout and Elder Scrolls feels like a waste.
Microsoft have Obsidian but I feel it's Bethesda who just don't want to play ball as they've always said they want to do it themselves.
Once MS bought Zenimax in 2020 they should have put the Outer Worlds 2 on the back burner, allow Bethesda to finish off its own Space RPG with Starfield (despite totally different tone why have two in your first party portfolio with two developers who's gameplay is a tad similar) and got Obsidian for one of their projects to make a spiritual successor to New Vegas.
When the Elder Scrolls VI is finished Bethesda can then onto the main numbered Fallout 5 themselves.
The Outer Worlds 2 started development in 2019 so putting it on the back burner wouldn't have been the end of the world, they'd have always come back to it once Fallout was done and it would have been nicely spaced out from Starfields release once they had most likely stopped supporting it and all the expansions were released.
If they did this back in 2020 when they bought Zenimax and the game had a good, steady 4 - 5 years development, you might have seen it release in 2025.
We are literally going to be waiting until 2030 at the very earliest for Fallout 5 and all they seem bothered about is pushing Fallout 76.
I disagree. Part of these games is the support for the mod community. If they move to releasing a "next game" every 2 or 3 years, the modding support plummets and the franchises turn into just another run of the mill RPG.
Make the games good enough to withstand the test of time, to keep people coming back to them and expanding on them with mod support.
Yeah, let's all advocate for smaller gaps between series' releases, then we'll probably get headlines about how the series have dropped in quality and they could have benefited from more time in the oven. Let them cook.
Bethesda [or Microsoft] would have to reallocate internal and external studios towards fallout and elder scrolls titles. Bethesda has the issue of developing 2 big IPs that are large RPGs on rotation. If you want more Fallout and Elder Scrolls, development will have to be outsourced.
I don't think anybody thinks that the One and the PS4 are close in power anymore.
Every time MS comes out with a claim out of nowhere (like the MS rep spreading lies on Reddit) they are slammed with ( my favorite thing)facts, proving them wrong
I wouldn't doubt it
Ryse
Quantum Break
Black Tusk (graphics in the trailer confirmed to be in-game)
Forza
I remember when Pennello was on NeoGaf trying to spin the fact the Xbone was designed for the scope of multimedia, so not having as much raw power dedicated to gaming. These corporate spokespeople should not be telling lies about their products or spinning new ones about their competition.
Larry is just as bad for it with his recent claims of Xbone selling the fastest. Or an older one about the DRM not being able to be removed. Or the real intentions with force-bundling the Kinect and Yusuf Mehdi going to the 'Advertisers Masters of Marketing Conference' to sell to benefits of using the Kinect to gather data for marketing purposes, and him then trying to lie about his intention with that.
They will spin however they want to make it seem like they aren't making missteps or that they are in a worse position.
We are already seeing the fruits of this disparity just like we're already seeing people in denial about the disparity between the consoles and so the downplaying will continue until unequivocal proof is put on a pedestal. And even then, the most delusional and desperate will continue to lie to themselves and others.
Again with this? Really?
some big lies came from microsoft this year. they have been really caught with their pants down on so many occasions.
