Yes, it´s true. Quake Live is no longer a F2P title, as Bethesda is now charging $10 for the game. So no wonder why a lot of Gamers are really angry right now. So this is my (Robin Ek, The Gaming Ground) take on this matter.
Welcome to Developer_Direct 2025, a behind the scenes look at new gameplay, features, and the latest info for some of the biggest games coming to Xbox in 2025. You’ll hear straight from the game creators at id Software, Compulsion Games, Sandfall Interactive, and a surprise studio for a game that we’re excited to unveil.
Looking forward to the announcfement of Halo MCC coming to other platforms. I'd love to see an influx of new players for some blood gulch matches.
Speculated games that could be that 1 more thing.
Resident Evil 9 (maybe imo)
Persona 6 (not likely imo)
FF Remakes (not likely imo)
New Lost Odyssey (definitely not, its not a long running franchise)
Ninja Gaiden 4 (maybe and hopefully)
I really hope it's Ninja Gaiden 4 but its probably Resident Evil 9.
I hope they don't waste the direct advertising a third-party game. We get enough of that with Sony.
Edit: Ugh. Disappointed. Not that it's NG4, but that they used this time to advertise a game that doesn't need it over another 1st Party title.
Not saying this will happen at this show but apparently a new a Halo could get announced. Yep a brand new Halo. Could be a spin off or something but. A new a Halo announcement would be pretty wild.
And i thought it was xbox exclusive since i didn't see ps5 during the show but it on psn right now to purchase.
Multiple games are currently in development at Bethesda Game Studios' id Software, based on the latest information.
I’d love another Quake, maybe even a more horror slanted Doom.
I’d be very happy with a new IP though.
I would like a wolfstein reboot by Id, machinegames ones are good but too enfatuated with cinematics
id would deserve major props if they rolled the dice on *either* of those choices.
Pete Hines is retiring from Bethesda Softworks after 24 years.
Im glad he leaving. Bethesda has been terrible under his leadership. Redfall, Starfield, Fallout76 and the list goes on an on. His leadership style is outdated. Hopefully, MS bring someone in that knows what they are doing.
I will give you Fallout 76, but Redfall and Starfield's blame needs to fall somewhat on the terrible Xbox publishing team. With all their resources and supposed smarts...they fungled it.
@Mika He’s the communications guy - you can’t blame him for the quality of the product.
Maybe they can go to their earlier purchases for replacements . Like Rare devs , Gear devs or 343, one of the very few studios they built up and man they are great.
That could work ...if MS knew what they were doing themselves ...
But let's be real. Xbox was in charge of redfall and Starfield. They just don't know what a good game looks like.
I interviewed at Bethesda once, and while there were some very smart mid level team members, the upper ranks (EP/VP/Studio Head) were a total boys' club. The Madmen series ego in that lunch was stiffling.

Pete Hines was against locking out the majority of their console playerbase (ps gamers). Probably disgusted at the hypocrisy of white knight Phil assuring PS gamers that they can still play COD. Acquisition goes through, Hines goes out.
Goodbye Pete.
i wonder if he was asked to leave.
im pretty sure not everyone was on board with the acquisition.
Pretty much everyone outside of Todd has made snide comments against the acquisition but money talks
Well, that does it for me...
Ughh.. they gave any existing users a free copy, it's not exactly hurting any current players.
Infact, this may invite more people to pick up the game during sales and play it.
Taking out the 36$/year sub for a flat 10$ release is a very good move. It'll allow everyone access to the same amount of content and not divide the community.
*WildArmed*
True, it could also be trolls for all I know. As most of those comments seems to be rather "whiney".
"Exactly, neither do I. It's like people need a reason to be outraged all the time. It's Come to the point when decisions that are made in favor of the consumer are also met with outrage"
