Xbox still faces IP challenges as Spencer promises ‘different’ experiences in 2017

The Xbox name has been defined by the likes of Halo, Gears Of War and Forza for more than a decade, but don't expect those games in 2017.

Phil Spencer's promises are as hollow as it gets.

[lastking95]

How so?
1? 2? Even then what does a game cancelation/delay have to do with phil current comment and past twitter comments? So I ask how so? Hell what does it have to do with the greatest lineup slogan? Which is something they're repping through out this gen not simply 1 years or season.

What twitter promise Phil made that was hollow?(could very well have some I'm curious to know so please enlighten me or are you talking out your 💩 shooter again?)

[Rimeskeem]

Well, how many games that were part of the "greatest Xbox line up" get delayed or cancelled?

[ShadowKnight]

Lol

[Z501]

This is easy to say in January.

Good job xbox gamers have faith in Phil and the rest of team xbox. Sales don't dictate quality. I've heard recore is a good game, and i know quantum break is certainly a good game/experience. Hopefully they have something up their sleeve for 'scorpio'. Phil is the last person out there who didn't want Scalebound to release.

[BizarroUltraman]

This is true as he and Ken Lobb were very excited about the game.

[Yohshida]

He just teased a new MP game for 2017:

Sure to say we get more games this year we don't know about yet.

[yomfweeee]

That's not exactly teasing anything new. Could be something already known about.

[Overload]

Are you serious right now?

[BizarroUltraman]

We already knew about Sea of Thieves.

[Yohshida]

"I think we'll add to this list"

WE WILL ADD TO THIS - are his words. Ye it surely will be sea of thieves ......

[XXanderXX]

We need more IPs, more studios, time to make real investments , long term investments .
not lame six month or a year exclusive investments but long haul commitments . Time to bring out the Checkbook .

[ShowanW]

i really hope Project Scorpio is worth all these stupid doom and gloom click bait articles that keep arising...
its pretty easy to figure out that Phil Spencer is rolling with the punches until E3...

he is choosing his words very carefully, and only answering questions that don't give too much away...

i really hope the next 5months are worth all of this...

[OtakuDJK1NG-Rory]

Phil how about do something outside E3. Like seriously.
Stop talking and more action.

MS has shown by three console generations at least that their main, if not only, interest is online multiplayer.

[PhoenixUp]

Microsoft is still having trouble finding a new breakout IP in the 8th gen like they did with Halo and Forza during the 6th gen and Gears of War during the 7th gen

[Skankinruby]

Different is good, much better than redundant, which is the most appropriate way to describe the xbox library right now.

[Elda]

Believe it when I see it.

[C-H-E-F]

How can he promise new experiences when they cancelled them all? lOl 2017 xbox one is a game draught. Literally I don't see anything remotely interesting coming out, He's acting like they are whipping up games in 2 weeks nowadays lol.

[rivaldoo777]

You guys and bungi should of been partners their like ND to Sony

[Christopher]

Bungie had to leave to get out of the Halo game, sadly. Kind of the same thing why Insomniac went with MS to make Sunset Overdrive.

[rivaldoo777]

Do you mean that MS kept pushing Bungie to milk Halo??

[Christopher]

I don't think MS did it out of spite, but I do believe MS would continue to urge them to focus on the success of their IP rather than branching out. I believe MS needs to start having their teams work on more than just the same old stuff and give them a chance to branch out on whole new IPs in order to not only potentially make a whole new IP for the brand but also allow them time to explore new concepts that gives them the opportunity to learn more to make their current IPs stronger.

[Artemidorus]

It's like it's 2010 all over again.

[cfc78]

I dont know about year of the scorpio but this could be Microsofts worst year ever if they dont start showing people value for money when buying their consoles. (lifeboats at the ready E3 2017)

[LgbtWarrior]

Looking forward to more diverse experiences on Xbox. Sea of thieves and phantom dust look interesting

[King_Lothric]

Easier said than done. I think he is just trying to calm down its blind sheep 🐑.
