Xbox One Has Many Unannounced Games In Development, People Have Never Heard About Them – Greenberg

"Gamers should feel confident about investing in an Xbox One."

[XiNatsuDragnel]

Greenburg the amount of lies is strong with you. Even so, why not show teasers or hints.

Again, the problem is that your lineup is super thin and people aren't confident in your product.

[Abash]

He has destroyed his own credibility too many times to count over the years. I'm surprised articles written about something he has said have not been banned from N4G yet.

[XiNatsuDragnel]

Deception

Predictable, Dude don't understand how thin their lineup essentially is.

They've little 1st party and barely 3rd party games exclusive to them. It doesn't matter how early show, if there's nothing to show people aren't just going to hop on your platform.

[stuna1]

@uRaDecepticon

Here's a example; If you were confronted with someone who pulled a gun out on you, but you pull out a gun also, but here's the thing, your gun doesn't have bullets. Are you going to tell the other guy!?

[thekhurg]

Well Phil said at E3 that they had many new deals in place, but that the games wouldn't be ready for several years. Basically admitting they have very little for the remainder of this generation. We all know that in a few years the PS5 and another xbox console will be on the market.

[Shin-Zantetsuken]

Wow! Really?? When are those games coming Greenburg?? When the generation is over?? it is already 4 years in to generation!

[TheKingKratos]

Greenberg: "We have soo many ga....."

Gamers: "Cut the sh1t, back to your cave"

[kitsune451]

It's like I wake up everyday now waiting for the next hilarious thing he says.

[IGiveHugs2NakedWomen]

I agree. When it comes to Microsoft Xbox, having a "I'll believe it when I see it" attitude will serve you well.

@uRaDecepticon
They could at least tell us the name of the developers who are "supposedly" working on new games. If they are so worried about announcing games too early why mention that they have games in the pipeline at all? I know why, because they will say anything to get you to buy their plastic box and I'm sure that you're one of their loyal customers.

[butchertroll]

So, Halo 6, GeOW 5, Forza Horizon 4 are games that gamers never heard about them

[JaguarEvolved]

Who would believe anything this guy says after knowing he constantly tell lies? This guy even lies about what an exclusive title is. I remember hearing a few fanboys telling me that Microsoft had over 40 exclusive at e3 2017 but after watching it myself I realized that they were just repeating lies by microsoft

[lelo2play]

Greenburg isn't lying. XB1 does have many unannounced games in development... multiplatform games by 3rd party studios.

[XiNatsuDragnel]

Dude no.... PS4 for a fact and guaranteed exclusives by 1st and 3rd party while Microsoft we don't know yet. Sony just does it at the right time and right amount to give us the consumer confidence that there product has substance for years. While Microsoft either the same three or nothing at all.

[Critic4l_Strik3]

No, just no.

[KwietStorm_BLM]

I think what lelo said clearly went over both of your heads. So quick to pounce on Xbox, you didn't even get the joke.

[Cueil]

I love house people can't read anymore

[Shiken]

lelo2play

I came literally just to say this...

[Exvalos]

Lmfao!!!!!!!! Facts

[IGiveHugs2NakedWomen]

"Greenburg isn't lying. XB1 does have many unannounced games in development... multiplatform games by 3rd party studios."
That sounds about right.

[sreevenkat]

Another Greenburg here.

[yeahright2]

@cueil
"I love house people can't read anymore "

ummmm.

[Cyfyxtfg]

Because crackdown, fable, and that dragon game. They learned their lesson. Keep your games close to your chest and silence the haters next year microsoft 👌🏽 Plenty of mulitplats to relax.

[xX-oldboy-Xx]

you forgot this /s

[trooper_]

Definitely sarcasm, right?

[stuna1]

At this point Microsoft can never relax! Power without substance is redundant. The thing is I don't know if Microsoft supporter realize the impact of just going along with Microsoft interpretation of "For the Gamer" mantra by providing games that have released 2+ years in the past as some type of boon for gamers continued support!? It kind of leaves the impression that Microsoft has their fanbase right where they want them, Asleep!

[segamaniaco]

So stop teasing every week "we got lots of unannounced games" shit

[rainslacker]

I think if more people are asking what the hell they have to offer for the next couple years, or the remainder of the generation now vs. the number of people who seem to be concerned about long lead time to launch, it might be worth actually answering that as opposed to acting like they're just trying to show off closer to release.

Only games which work with short announcement to release windows are well established IP's which already have a fan base. Given MS general portfolio, this means we can expect Forza, Gears, and Halo.

The haters MS doesn't have to worry about. No one was worried about this early announcement stuff except MS fan boys in an attempt to put down Sony. Most Ms fans have no problem with earlier announcements.
Sony fans have no problem with them. Only MS and it's fan boys seem to have the problem with it. There is no reason for MS to hold back unless they just don't have much to show.

[Cyfyxtfg]

@trooper no not sarcasm . Were still recovering from the don mattrick era. Phil did not have his work cut out for him and has had to make hard decisions. Games like crackdown and scalebound would hurt the brand. I prefer Microsoft but im not a PS hater. I loved my ps4.

@stuna - Microsoft has nothing to prove at all. Since phil has took them helm he’s only made good gaming decisions. He understands what gamers want. We will get some good ass exclusives in time but it doesnt happen over night. People are clearly interested in the new console, our lobbies are full, plenty of updates (microsoft investing in its service). These doomsday predictions are ridiculous.

@rainslacker thats your opinion. While i usually dont care if thwy announce a game early, i feel that ALL games are announced to early these days. Thres too much coverage of games and no “wonder” when they come out. Also Microsoft keeps shooting themselves in the foot with these questionable games. Just keep it close to the chest and make a good ass game is all i ask. Announce when its READY

[Vandamme21]

One of those unannounced games is Halo 5 ODLC.

[RommyReigns]

Greenburg's words are as worthless as Conor McGregor's false hype of 'beating Mayweather'.

[MoonConquistador]

Yeah. You really are in trouble when you start to believe your own hype, be it on a personal level (McGregor) or at corporation level (MS).

Both have still made money out of these failures though and this lack of risk is why these idiots will continue to keep trying to f*** things up in their new ventures.

Moral of the story should be stick to what you're good at.

[BlackTar187]

@moon

Mcgregor made more from this fight than 3 title fights in mma. Never be a financial advisor. Mcgregor also did fine in his boxing debut vs a #2-#5 all time boxer.

[3-4-5]

Not lies. Microsoft does have a ton of games in development and so do 3rd party dev studios.

The problem is....a large majority of those games are going to the next Xbox. The one that will compete next gen with PS5.

If I were Microsoft I'd just tread water for the next two years and shift all games over to the next gen.

That way you will have a ton of games ready to go at launch and within the first year of the next xbox.

At least, that is what I would do. There will already be 5-10 decent XB1 games on the way over the next year or two, but they should same the rest and make a huge impact next gen.

Devs that get to have a launch game, get to immediately start on a new game, so by the time the system launches, they are already working on game #2 = more games pumping out faster without having to rush them.

I hope Microsoft goes this route.

I love my XB1, but there aren't enough exclusives and they aren't beating Sony this gen, might as well plan for the future and put more of your eggs in that basket.

[GrubsterBeater]

So you're basically saying:

"Screw the current XBox owners. We are gonna hold all our games we could release to our fans this generation, and instead we are gonna wait a couple years so that we can have a handful of good(?) games for the NEXT generation and it's fans (which will dwindle because of this decision anyway)."

The reason XBox is failing RIGHT NOW is because they aren't releasing games, let alone any GOOD games.. The funny thing is that this hypothetical scenario you came up with is probably exactly what XBox is doing right now, and they probably think that they are doing it's fans a service by doing this. The truth is they aren't. Gamers want games, and when you don't have any games, and then instead of releasing more games to remedy the glaring issue, they decide to release a console upgrade towards the end of the generation? With no games STILL?!

MS doesn't get it, and it's very obvious that it's fans don't get it either, and this lack of holding MS's feet to the fire is exactly why they don't care or don't think they are doing anything wrong. The fans are enabling this behavior. It seems like one big reason XBox fans DON'T call out MS is because they are already ashamed of the horrible things MS has already screwed them on so far that they are afraid to admit any of it for fear of admitting that Sony fans and critics of MS were actually right with most of what they said about MS...

[r2oB]

@345

Microsoft already did that. They abandoned the 360 and moved the games to launch window xbox one titles. Now you are saying you would have them abandon the current gen prematurely again? You think gamers will have confidence in a company that blows their load in the beginning of the gen just to abandon it halfway through to focus on the next gen twice?

[rainslacker]

While I wouldn't put it past MS to do such a thing, I can't actually say that would be a good thing. There are plenty of X1 players they need to support. They're relying on this Scorpio hype to avoid marketing and delivering games for that fan base on a level which is acceptable in this day and age.

MS spent too much time this gen not doing what they should have done, and that's building their portfolio. If they have a long term plan here, that's great, but they should have been more transparent about that, and told people that they were screwed with 1st party support this gen because Xbox execs couldn't get things going right after Spencer took over.

It's funny, because looking back, I wonder if Mattrick may have actually done better this gen with software support, since he seems to have some ability to drive some direction with MS and get things done. Maybe not things we wanted, but he was still there during the 180's, and at least would have maybe tried to do something good to regain the respect Xbox had gotten through much of last gen.

[trooper_]

Someone needs to put some thick tape over his mouth. He's an embarrassment to the XBox brand, along with Spencer.

[LandoCalrissiano]

Dude, he named studios by name that are working on other projects, find out if they if they are. Ask 343 and see if they are working on other stuff besides halo wars 2. We'll wait.

[showtimefolks]

Phil needs to get rid of this guy he is nothing but giving xbox brand a bad image or maybe put him in a different xbox department where he doesn't talk to the public

[spwittbold]

I don't disagree with much of what people say here, but "Even so, why not show teasers or hints,"....

One might "hope," Phil Spencer and Aaron are making a smart move here NOT announcing games that are more than a year away from release. Smarter to wait til game dev. is well into development and proven itself to avoid snags like what happened with Scalebound.

But as of right now, yeah, very bleak and they have little, if any credit worthy of belief. But prove us wrong Spencer and Greenberg!

[rainslacker]

Show, don't tell, Greenburg.

[NotoriousWhiz]

Hey guys, buy my product. I can't tell you anything about it right now, but the stuff we haven't shared is going to be amazing.

[Senboza]

NatsuDragnel My boy. You wrote 3 whole sentences! Keep it up bro. But don't strain yourself to much lol

[XiNatsuDragnel]

Lol

[SierraGuy]

Agreed ..we have to believe Xbox lost some or a lot playerbase to PlayStation this gen due to games or lack thereof. It will be hard to get those players back. Lets hope they do have a lot of unannounced titles coming...but lets not hold our breath.

[TheSaint]

At this point it seems counterintuitive to not tell people about the exclusives you have coming up. Exclusives are what sells consoles.

[Relientk77]

Terrible poker face, Microsoft can't even bluff lol

[AAWELLS09]

Holy cow you really are invested in this console war thing huh? You really do spend all your time here. What a bummer man.

[Hardiman]

It's gonna take more than talk and flashy trailers. Gameplay is the only way I'll believe and even then it might take the game hitting store shelves.

[moegooner88]

Talk is cheap, and Greenberg loves talking.

[freshslicepizza]

E3 and Gamescon this year both showed the lack of investements made by Microsoft. I agree with most people, talk is cheap.

[FallenAngel1984]

Microsoft's first party output this generation has been in shambles for the most part

[Hardiman]

I've never seen anything like it but whats more crazy is how they seem to be in a bubble and are unwilling to do anything about it.

[SpaceRanger]

Lol I remember hearing this is 2014 saying that people needed to have faith in Xbox. Even Phil said "we're investing in a wide variety of 1st party games".

And the fanbase ate it up.

[WePlayDirty]

I call bullshit.

[Chris12]

Of course you do, you hate Xbox.

[WePlayDirty]

That is a lie. I actually like the One S, and I probably would love the X. But right now there’s no reason for me to buy a second console.

I’m not sorry for not believing the PR spin that comes out of Greenberg’s mouth. I’ll believe them when I see them.

[Chris12]

Someone only has to look at your post history and see you trolling every positive Xbox article to know your agenda.

[WePlayDirty]

Chris...I’m being objective here. This is about GREENBERG, is it not? What have I said in the above comment that warrents me having an agenda? Considering the the amount of Greenberg statements that get critiqued on N4g, If a have an agenda, then so does over half of the community here.

[WePlayDirty]

Chris... I have NEVER said I owned an Xbox One S. Send me the link to that comment If you think that's not the case.

[Whirlwind_Fanfare_08]

So because he call BS on what that doofus Greenberg said, he hates Xbox?
wow.

[OffRoadKing]

You dont have to hate xbox to speak the truth. You do however have to be a blind fanboy to attack others for speaking that truth.

[WePlayDirty]

Chris, the only troll here is you.

edit: what's that? you made up that I said I owned an Xbox One S?

[OffRoadKing]

"Someone who supports all things Sony including price increases, and then spends all day trolling Xbox articles is a troll, pure and simple."

And I have blasted Sony for the recent price hike of PS Plus, check my comments. Blasted them for slow PSN service access check my comments, blasted them for poorly made controllers, check my comments, blasted them for to many garbage indie games for PS Plus check my comments. And I stated quite clearly that a game that was recently mentioned in an article here that the author said should stay exclusive to Sony and not go to xbox, I said that made no sense and was ridiculous check my comments.

And yet you still called me a troll so either you dont abide by your own definition of trolling or you dont do you homework, either way you called me that just because I said he spoke the truth so I ask you, who is it here that's actually triggered. I'll give you a hint, look in the mirror.

[trooper_]

@ Chris, I know it's really hard to believe but there's people who actually want more games for Microsoft. Shocking, I know.

[Chris12]

I want more games for Xbox, that's not the point of being a troll is it? Someone who supports all things Sony including price increases, and then spends all day trolling Xbox articles is a troll, pure and simple. Even tried to turn MS no longer producing the OG Xbox One into a company abandoning a product. Seriously, if youre going to troll then expect to get called out.

[WePlayDirty]

Chris, I actually don't support all things Sony, or price increases to PSN. You need to get your facts straight.

[trooper_]

You speak about trolls in an XBox article, yet you don't call out the trolls in a Sony article?

Newsflash, not everyone rightfully criticizing Microsoft is a troll.

[Chris12]

I never said they did, but loving the exaggeration. It only takes a few bad apples etc etc

[PhoenixUp]

How is it that Microsoft dramatically decreased Xbox 360's first party output in its latter years to prepare for the 8th gen, yet its first party output on Xbox One is faltering especially in its fourth year?

In comparison Sony loaded PS3 with plenty of first party titles in its final years, yet has no problem consistenly delivering first party content on PS4.

[MatrixxGT]

Well to be fair the first year or so MS had new games while Sony had a ton of indies and remasters to try and hold them over.

However the situation at MS right now is serious. They cant slide by with fancy hardware without the games. They relying on 3rd party way to much. I honestly only keep my X1 around for Forza. I couldnt care less about gears or halo.

[Automatic79]

@Phoenix

The first few years were barren while Xbox One was pumping out exclusives. Not Xbox is taking one year to restructure and they are promising games down the pipeline. No matter how fans spin what they say we have to let them provide us with titles.

[PhoenixUp]

@ Mat

If you want to be fair actually look at Sony's first party output in OS4's first year instead of making inaccurate accusations. Knack, Killzone: Shadow Fall, Driveclub, inFamous: Second Son, LittleBigPlanet 3, & MLB 14: The Show were not indie titles or remasters.

@ Auto

PS4 received more games than XO since day one.

[Servbot41]

Nintendo's done the same thing. The Wii U was dead for over two years in terms of first-party support and all they've managed for the Switch is two exclusives (Splatoon 2 and ARMS) along with a half-dozen Wii U ports thus far, and only two more known releases (Mario Odyssey and Xenoblade 2) for the rest of the year.

And both MS and Nintendo wonder why Sony continues to sell so much.

[TheColbertinator]

So in other words,2 more internal studios will be shut down by next fall. Fantastic :/

[Araragifeels]

Not only that but we also going to cancel couple more games too.

[Antifan]

Yes, unannounced multiplats with at least 2 of them are timed exclusives for 1-year. MS is very predictable

[snkiworld]

Atleast have you heared about those games?

[S2Killinit]

Lol ok microsoft. And im sure they are "exclusive" too

[Tankbusta40]

Hype men will be Hype men. When you are paid by a company you have to promote them. How many of us saw Dana White spew lies all week about Conner going to knock out Mayweather? Thats what it is.

[leoms]

Same was said after e3 2016

[thejigisup]

So secretive not even the devs know they are developing them.

[yomfweeee]

I've said it before, the hate against games being announced too early makes no sense. Even for the system I own, I want to know what is coming long term. It is even more important when you're buying a new system. Why would anyone spend $500 without knowing the exclusives? Microsoft has done nothing to earn any trust dating back to a few years before X1 even came out. They abandoned exclusives for the 360 way too early. X1 has been a disaster PR wise. Why trust these comments?

[Goldby]

yeah, i have no issue with Sony showing games that are 1+ years away from release, even 2+ years. why, its showing long term investment in their own product. i know what i'm buyign this year, i dont need e3 to show me that. i would much rather see whats to come because we already know whats coming this year.

Investment in the future is why Sony is doing soo well, the games, the variety, PSVR. they are set for the next few years because of the work they have put in, the money they have invested in companies and studios and of course, the fact they aren't learning on 3rd parties

[MasterCornholio]

Why state something that's true for all console manufacturers?

[Razzer]

Talk is cheap. Greenberg's word? Close to worthless. Just want to see the games. No more empty promises.

[zb1ftw777]

Might buy an xb1x.

When i see these games.

[GamesMaster1982]

This guy is full of shit and lost any respect he had after he said people buy Xbox because we have the biggest exclusive's crap. Only thing Xbox has now is the ability to play old games a bit jazzed up via 1X. No thanks. ill stick with Sony and play real AAA new games thank you.

[sreevenkat]

again cream biscuit from Aaron Greenberg.

[Frenchfries2000]

I have absolutely no confidence in whatever words that comes out out if this Man. Buffet said

[mark_parch]

if they have loads of games in development we don't know about then why didn't we see any of them at e3 or gamescom? if they have got games then they clearly are years away from being finished.

[Bronxs15]

Lately I've been having some internal conflict or change of heart regarding MS. I've owned all xbox consoles so far. The original, 360 elite and traded my xbox one for the xbox one s, and up until recently been eagerly anticipating trading in my one s for a one x. I've also owned every competing PS consoles. The PS2, PS3, and PS4. I had the PS4 at launch and the xbox one a year later after the price drops and removal of kinect. The PS4 was a dust collector, playing only Resogun at launch and then InFamous Second Son the following spring. Surprisingly it was the Wii U getting the most play between Mario Kart 8, Mario 3D Word, Tropical Freeze, Bayonetta 2. Wii U fulfilled my gaming needs while PS4 collected dust, until the Xbox one arrived then the Wii U joined the PS4 as a dust collector. The xbox one was great i played Halo MCC, Halo 5, Sunset Overdrive, Quantum break, Ori and the Bind Forest, Gears Definitive, Gears 4. At this point I started thinking if I need to continue the trend of owning PS and Xbox consoles. I don't like that I have to have 2 gaming subscriptions XBL and PS+. So with the one x around the corner, I was thinking I can ditch PlayStation going forward. The xbox was better because it would be more powerful, play 4k blu rays, xbox live gave better free games and i actually keep the 360 free games, xbox has backward compatibility with OG Xbox and 360, and better services like EA Access and recently game pass. I could be a content gamer owning just an Xbox.

But then I sold my PS4, and purchased a PS4 Pro to go with my new Sony 4k HDR TV. I started reconnecting with the PlayStation library and falling in love with gaming. I was blown away how good Horizon Zero Dawn was in terms of graphics, game play, story and presentation. Older titles like Bloodborne had me awed at the details in the level and atmosphere. Recent titles like Uncharted Lost Legacy, had me just staring at the game for the graphics on display. And the Spiderman demo at E3, along with God of War and Days Gone. Last of us 2, Detroit become human. I'm excited to go back and play things I've missed like The Last Guardian. And try new franchises not found anywhere else like Yakuza, Gravity Rush 2, and Persona. Currently I'm enjoying the remake of Ratchet and Clank and in 4k (checkerboard) and HDR and it's really amazing. Amazing to the point where I now feel I don't need to get the one x any more. And i'm considering doing a 180 and staying with PlayStation and ditching Xbox and here's why...

[Bronxs15]

Most agree competition is good for the consumer, but MS presents an example where their entry in space negatively affected consumers. We pay for expensive consoles, games are expensive and we also pay for internet access. We used to expect that when we buy a game, the multiplayer portion is included. Xbox changed the game, we now have to pay extra to play online with our friends. Opposite of PC, PS3 and Wii U. No doubt the move to charge for online multiplayer with PS4 and Switch are MS influenced. As well, MS decisions are not consumer friendly. The whole always online no used games thing that affected xbox one's launch. And also, I always hated how on Xbox platforms you would have to pay for your internet access, pay for your Netflix subscription and then pay for Xbox live in order to use netflix on the console. They held back other services behind their paywall. In this case, competition from Sony benefited us by forcing MS to remove Netflix from behind the paywall as they were getting killed by PS4, and probably it caused them to add more features to the one s like the 4k blu ray drive, and many price drops again because they were being killed by Sony.

Also I feel like Sony sees gaming as core to their success and invests in 1st part studios and developers to have a nice output of new and exciting games. Where as I feel like MS is more profit driven and invests in proven franchises. Halo was a success, they didn't care to keep Bungie exclusive and have them make another franchise, they let bungie go and kept the Halo franchise. Same thing with Gears of War, they only care to keep the Franchise and let the developers go on. GTA is a big franchise, last gen they spent 50 million just to get DLC first for something that is popular than to invest in developers or studios. Currently PlayerUnknowns Battleground is big title and they are investing in that.

The way MS loves profit i won't be surprised if they expand play anywhere tittles to include PS4 versions of halo and gears!

[gbsrnctaln]

This guy lives in imagination land.

[JayRyu]

Yes there are games in developement Mr. Greenberg but will they see the light of day is the question. I do hope so. I have faith that MS is doing all it can to please gamers and new consumers to the Xbox brand and they have gained some ground. Now the part where they have to deliver on is more 1st party games. They've made the turn on other things for the Xbox I think they make the turn on exclusives too. Even if they're going to have to break out the check book to do it. M$

[Duoma]

Complete list: Forza, Halo, maybe gears, Forza, Halo again...oh did we mention forza

[ShadowWolf712]

We've been hearing this line for how long now?

[QuickdrawMcgraw]

Canadian football 4k March to the Grey Cup.....Can't wait....

[subtenko]

And Im sure not all of them will come out exactly...but on another note...dont announce them right away *cough*crackdown*cough*scalebo und*cough*

[2600Thunder]

Sure MS. "You talk the talk. Do ya walk the walk?" - Animal Mother

[TheVigilanteCode]

I would actually trust a chameleon to reveal it's current color more than what comes out of Greenberg's mouth.

His equivalent on Sony's side is Jim Ryan.

[frostypants]

"We had record pre-sales but we won't show numbers."
"We have lots of games but we won't name them."

[King_Lothric]

Only a fool would fall for that.

[DarkZane]

He is lying, they have nothing.

If they do, they need to show their games earlier. People say Sony are showing their games too early, but at least we know there is a ton of stuff coming. You may not want to announce early, but when your lineup is empty like the Xbox One, you want to have things people can look forward to. At the moment, holding your cards too close to your chest make your lineup weak.

[Godmars290]

One: The issue of "Unannounced" games, in announcing them you them fall into those games either being in development for a long time, or being canceled.

Two: MS's general history of releasing games isn't exactly shining.

[Steveoreno1]

Omg.....haha.....stop.....my side is hurting

[Father__Merrin]

Greenberg is a pathological liar!!!

[Ristul]

What surprices me the most is that Microsoft have been buying third party exclusives like Tomb Raider instead of expanding their own inhouse production. They have the money to make their own games, but for some reason they refuse to expand to the market. We as gamers will not benefit from Microsoft (or Sony) buying third party games, that is not expanding the market one bit. It only locks out people from those experiences.

[Godmars290]

MS always seems to have a very limited preference towards the titles they want on their system. Generally PC titles while actively ignoring console popular genres like JRPGs.

And yes, while the argument can be made that early on attempt was made towards JRPGs with the 360, that support dried up overnight and MS even allowed several openings, sticking with DVDs over any HD disc format, which let the PS3 gain ground in Japan and JRPGs.

[Lon3wolf]

For MSofts sake I hope they do.

[GamingCentaur]

lol Greenberg

[BadElf]

Sounds good!!

[OffRoadKing]

Doesn't sound like anything.

[King_Lothric]

Sounds like a smoke ball.

[BadElf]

Ahh poor thing

[opinionated]

Oh yeah? Like what? That's good information to have at the launch of a console...

[rainslacker]

LOL. Kind of hit the nail on the head there.

[OffRoadKing]

Yes you should feel confident investing in an xbone because of games that only exist as a figment of Greenberg's imagination.

[Ausbo]

He says the coalition is working on a number of things. Wonder if this means they are making more than just another gears game. Interesting.....

[LastCenturyRob]

E3 is ten months off..."IF" these game are out there I am sure a majority will be introduced then. I expect at least a handful of higher end exclusives to be announced. Should be an interesting show.

[rainslacker]

MS has been saying this kind of thing for the past three years now. Do you really expect them to bring anything that we can't already predict to E3? Because what we didn't predict for this year wasn't exactly amazing.

[LastCenturyRob]

I fully expect them to...To what extent is the question. With a new console and pretty much one shot to win back the literal millions of consumers they lost at the beginning of this gen even they know the best way to do this is introduce new games/exclusives.

[rainslacker]

I'm just not convinced they believe that making, or at least providing, more exclusives will bring back all those customers, or bring in new customers. I felt they thought this at the beginning of the gen, and maybe the first 18 months, as they were bringing a lot of new stuff. But that was all started under the reign of Mattrick. For all of Mattricks faults, he did understand that content was king. In general, a lot of the content he introduced didn't resonate with the hardcore, but it brought in new customers in other segments, which isn't a bad thing.

While a new console can indeed bring people back, and likely some will come back, I believe that this far into the generation, it's not going to achieve much to really bring back millions. If they had some stellar content, they wouldn't need a new console, even in the face of Sony's mid-gen. But right now, MS is all over the place with the Xbox brand, trying to make it a jack of all trades, yet it's coming up as a master of none.

The power has it's place, but the overall impression I'm getting is that MS is more interested in making more money by doing less work. This notion that the best place to play your games is mostly just relevant to multi-plats, and MS doesn't have to do much to support that kind of thing, but they make a lot of money off those licensing fees.

Because of this, I can't really see them bringing much in the future like Greenburg is implying, and the fact they often say how they're going to bring something great, yet it's fallen short for several years now, or haven't shown much that they didn't show before, makes me think that MS is in this perpetual state of hoping people can hold off a bit longer, but also hoping that they can generate hype with nothing much to really offer.

They may, and hopefully are, working on more to show for the long term, but I'm skeptical that we'll see it anytime soon. Phil has been in charge long enough to show off a direction for content for the system itself, but since E3 2016, MS has made vague promises, offered up a lot of marketing hyperbole, and 90% of their marketing has been about the power of X1X. There is absolutely no reason that 4 years into the gen, MS has such a paltry offering of exclusive games to offer, because as of right now, it makes it seem like MS hasn't done much of anything since Mattrick left except change the nature of Xbox to being focused on the Windows Store. MS is putting the cart before the horse, and statements like from Greenburg, or these wait for E3's are leaving an empty cart.

[SarcasticDuck]

those games are so secret, not even their devs have heard about them!

[Bronxs15]

Good. Hope they have some nice stuff I can play on my one s.

With the one x news every acting like it's s new generation or something and forgetting about the one S. They way people are going on about "launch titles" and "nothing to play " on Xbox one x you'd think that a new generation is starting. And you'd thinking these are 2 different systems. There's a feeling like you need a Xbox one x to play these future unannounced games.

According to Microsoft's own words, all titles will be forward and backward compatible. They also said that games will be great in one s and scaled up on for one x for that premium experience.

So at this point I'm not in a rush to get a one x as I should be able to play all these games on one s.

[Destiny1080]

lol I don't think the one-s will be ever mentioned again

[HyperMouse]

Im fairly certain MS knows they need to pump out some new games, hell if we all know surely someone who works there has an idea, they also mentioned that they dont want to announce things too soon, as it just fuels the no games argument if things dont go to plan, in the mean time until they announce something, i hope i hear more about below and look forward to playing, PubG, sea of thieves, Day Z, cup head, Ashen etc

[corroios]

Its true and they are all coming 31 February

[JackTheLiz]

So if a game has not been announced or revealed, no one is going to know about it? Wow!
*facepalm* You don't say?

[madpuppy]

I'm truly amazed by the audacity of Greenberg's statements, Typical Microsoft, Promises of "secret" games in development, Secret cloud powah! to boost their consoles and games to new heights...all you have to do is buy their Magic console and wait till next years E3, then you'll all see.......well maybe not......

[Felsager]

Why Aaron Greenberg's articles are not Banned from N4g yet?

Why he continues writing obvious lies about a company that refuses to invest on exclusive titles and native developers?

Microsoft, sorry you forgot to invest on exclusive titles.
Microsoft, sorry but endless iteration of Halo/Gears/Forza are not going to save you from your fiasco.
Microsoft, your game division director is a dumbass, you have to change him or you will loose again against the ps5.
Microsoft, invest on exclusives and good remakes instead of hardball advertising.

[DivineAssault]

Cool.. Then they can make a bundle deal and ill consider buying it then.. If theyre mostly indie titles, then i wont bother..

[spanner]

I'm sure Sony and Nintendo have unannounced games that nobody knows about.
They just don't constantly pipe up like Microsoft do

[Hedstrom]

Why cant they just man up and admit the mistakes they make. We focused to much on this, we miscalculated that and so on, i would respect them a 1000 times more.

[jmc8888]

The problem with making such a statement is that if we haven't heard of them then they aren't anywhere near completion.

If they aren't near completion, then there's still a chance a few get cancelled. Additionally it would mean these 'games' might not come out until late 2019-2020, maybe even 2021 which would mean a few things.
1. How many is 'many'?
2. That's right at the presumed end of the generation.
3. It means they might be making the better version for the X2
4. So why not wait for that?

At this point, unless you are one of those people who wait until the end of the cycle to get the $199 console, you are looking at an X1X or PS4 Pro or you will just wait for the X2/PS5.

[quenomamen]

I have 3 Ferraris and 2 Lambos nobody has ever seen. For realz tho.

[BadElf]

Sony fanboys never disappoint. To be so worried about Xbox news....hahahaha

[REBORN71]

will show you best thing you will be able to get on XONEX - oh fk no that looks like shit and plays like shit - crackedown lol - but we have lots of games people are making for us - all the artist that used to work for ND and MASSIVE etc are locked in MS office cellar and cant leek any information on all the amazing thigs we are working on here at ms - remember when we worked on recore the new evolutionary IP that was going to blow everyone away - hang on that one didnt work - oh never mind we worked on many amazing IP's like scalebound. Yes that one was revolutionaly we are doing that again (pssst phil that one was fkup too quick pull another rabbit out of your hat)

[bluefox755]

Oh, Aaron Greenburg said it? It must be true, and totally not more PR spin to gin up more hype about their console release. I mean, who's really gonna remember this comment in a few years anyway?

[zerocarnage]

See the same 50-150 haters are floating around as usual.

Ms simply said they wernt going to show them way to early anymore and to be honest I'd rather it be like that. What's the point in announcements way to early, there is no point ms are doing rite , in fact it's annoying more than anything for games to be put on a list of upcoming only to be released 3-6 years in the future.

I do not even understand why the fanboys and haters even have to start throwing hissy fits about this. It's actually the most mature approach out of either releasing info when near ready or releasing soon as info can be made available which usually leads to fanboys and haters complaining even more down the line.

Yeah you bunch of clowns need to grow up because no matter the choice ms choose, your just out too constantly whinge like the morons your behaving like.

I bet if sony chose this way you lot of fanboyz and ms hating clowns would be praising them to heaven.

[trooper_]

But they shouldn't say that in the first place when they have NOTHING to show!

[PCgamer98]

Breaking news... Pc, ps4, and the switch has more unannounced games as well.

[Max-Zorin]

Fire the whole Xbox division. Everybody gotta go. Xbox need a fresh new staff.

[inxine]

do those games still exist in their heads? lol.

[KuroKiko]

People have never heard about them because theyre unannounced.

[Lexreborn2]

He's not lying, no ones heard of them including him.

[marquisray]

Sony stopped showing early games to because they were to far out, but it's okay for them, that's why there e3 was sorry this year.

[About30Ninjas]

Basically M$ got a bunch of Exclusives in the works that nobody gonna give a shit about

[ultimize]

Really?
How many games?
HAHAHA Just a hoax before launch date

[WelkinCole]

It is so bad for MS that they now have imaginary games lol!.

[BuildTheWall]

BULLSHIT

[theXtReMe1]

Heres the thing, Im a fan of the X. Love that they went nuts with the hardware and I preordered 2... but Microsoft only has a few development houses. So, max, they have what? 3-4 games in the works? One being Crackdown. So, it still doesnt leave them with much... and once those games come out, then gamers will have to wait another how many years for exclusives?

Microsoft needs to invest in new software companies, plain and simple. Though, I know they wont. They are using backwards compatibility as their excuse. Trying to get as much software as possible from the back Xbox catalogue... to say they have all of these games that people can play... though, 20 year old games arent going to cut it! Especially since they arent going to get any remaster treatment. So all of those games will keep their original muddy textures, etc... from when they were released.

Since the Xbox is turning into a Windows 10 machine anyways... why dont they just allow gamers to play current and past PC games, also. That would be a huge plus, as it would allow gamers to choose from a huge backlog... many of which titles have gotten user made high res texture upgrades. Microsoft has to do something, as people want reasons to buy their new hardware. The second the PS5 releases... it may be a quick death for the X. Because Sony does and will have it all. Faster, more advanced hardware and a ton of first party studios under their belt to take full advantage of the machine. So, regardless if Microsoft releases an Xbox 2, they will still have nothing but third party software that barely scratches the surface of what it can do. Microsoft... buy first party developers, at least 5 or 6 of them!

[DELTABOY04]

lies

[NecoTehSergal]

"Trust me! They totally exist!"

[Xenophon_York]

I wonder if when XBOX Two releases in around two years (give or take six months) and games slow/stop for One X, if then, devout XBOX fans will feel cheated—especially with only maybe one to three exclusives the first year. At this point it seems as though Phil Spencer could walk up, punch an XBOX'r in the throat, kick the family pet, and shout that that gamer's mom is a hairy-lipped, stench-wrench with feces-flavored Tic-Tacs for braincells and still hail XBOX as forever superior.

[Dragonscale]

Greenberg needs to stfu. He's a liability tbh.

[FinalFantasyFanatic]

Sure you do, how about you announce some of them and put xbox owners at ease, it's been a pretty dry year for them.

[Condemnedman]

christ this thread is full of Sony extremists bloody hell the X has really got you upset, hey enjoy your games if ms are so crap why are you flooding here.? what are you worries about? 😅

[Relientk77]

Fake games that don't exist lol

[GrimReaperGamer]

Sorry Mr. BS Greenberg but the Xbox One has been out now for almost 4 years and throughout those 4 years the only games that I've had any interest in purchasing are Halo: The Master Chief Collection, Gears of War: The Ultimate Edition, Killer Instinct, Rare Replay, Sunset Overdrive, Quantum Break, Gears of War 4, Halo 5: Guardians, Cuphead Super Lucky's Tale, Crackdown 3 & Voodoo Vince Remastered.

If that is all the Xbox One has had to offer me over a 4 year period, then how do you expect gamers to believe your BS. For every 3rd party multi-platform game I've had interest in, I've always bought the PS4 version and will continue to do so. I'm not pissing away $600+ here in Canada for a Xbox Scorpio that has slightly better visuals & slightly better FPS than a Xbox One S model. Even if Xbox shows off a ton of new unannounced games in numerous upcoming game conferences, I'll still have a hard time believing them with the numerous titles they've cancelled over the almost 4 year lifespan of the Xbox One brand. I'll keep purchasing Playstation exclusive after exclusive knowing that there's always more to come, but I can't say the same for the Xbox brand because you guys have continuously failed to provide the 1st party exclusives fans of the brand want.

I own an original Xbox and it's pretty sad that I own more Xbox exclusives than I do on Xbox One. Microsoft keeps talking about all these exclusives for Xbox One, but I've yet to see them outside of the few games I've list above.

[talocaca]

At some point they need to stop asking people to believe and actually deliver.

The Xbox One has been a mess from a first party software perspective and there's little reason to believe things have changed.

And whatever happened to the cloud?

[nommers]

Can't wait to see the exclusives: Halo copy space marine shooter number 261 sounds like a good game.

[Parasyte]

Well, logic would dictate that if something is unannounced, then no one has heard about it yet. Greenburg, you are a genius! /sarcasm

[bellyboy]

These games in development, should have been here now, microsoft is facing a very baron period of exclusive games, the bigger problem for microsoft is the timing at launching this console, if they knew games would be in short supply, and they are already well behind ps4, why not delay this console til 2018 and have some of these games be launch titles.

What happens now is, in 2017-2018 AMD will launch its mobile apu "raven ridge" it will be 4 cores/8 threads be ryzen based combined with vega gpu and will power the ps5, as its literally the only mobile/apu amd have planned, scorpio wont get enough install base in 12-14 months before the ps5 launches (shaun layden already confirmed its in development, insiders predict 2018 launch), then they go back to having a less powerful console.

Personally i think they should have launched the scorpio when sony made the move with ps5 and then in terms of power they would be on an even footing, instead they will enjoy 12-14 months of power before a relatively new console is 6TF and the ps5 should have rysen 5/vega 56 apu (raven ridge) which is 10.5 TF. Sony doesnt care about the pro, it cost them virtually nothing to build its a ps4 with another cheap gpu in it, the pro wont take sony til 2020 ps5 will launch in either fall 2018 or early 2019 and i think the xbox one x should have been fall 2018 to compete from scratch.

[MetalNCarnet]

Judging what Xbox has brought out for us in the past 5 years, I highly doubt you have anything that will interest me.
