Microsoft, to cut short, just took care of the usual business. This conference was nowhere near as good as last years–to which it acted as just a footnote. The company made some bold moves and promises last year, which gamers loved. This year, all it did was remind them that they were being kept. This was both a good and bad thing, as it meant that nothing original or too exciting really happened. But hey, Keanu Reeves showed up, and that in itself is kind of a reward.
Don't Nod has confirmed Banishers and Jusant did not meet expectations, as the company has two unannounced projects in the works.
Hopefully Vampyr 2 is one of those games. I wish they would make a Remember Me 2, but I know that's a pipe dream
People really gotta start paying attention to these guys Vampyr and Banishers is so good.
Palworld Mobile has been rumored for a long time, and now we know that Krafton has struck a licensing deal for the monster-taming adventure.
Xbox Game Studios and 343 Industries first-person shooter, Halo Infinite, has been profitable for some time.
The games loaded with micros I can't see how it's not profitable. Ppl love their little skins and goofy cat ears nonesense.
As much as people wanna believe halo infinite isn’t a financial failure… there are gamers there that spend a lot of money on multiplayer games and on nonesense like you said. As long as the core gameplay is good there will be people spending on it.
The game launched with $20 basic color microtransactions like “red”.
But, most importantly, it launched with Microsoft’s marketing including sponsored streamers “having fun”.
Reason why the game currently averages 3k daily player 5 months after launch
"The ‘source’ is Jez Corden! 🤣"
Nobody needs Corden to inform anybody on how successful Halo Infinite is.
We known about the next Halo and how it will be powered by UE5 rather than Slipspace for quite some time now.
And yes. 343i will continue and lead Halo projects despite fake rumors claiming they would be replaced.
Is the next game, the Infinite sequel made using the same slipspace engine or Halo 1 remake made using UE5?
Likely former.
"Take anything this guy says with a grain of salt."
Have you been giving such warnings when he was spreading rumors about Xbox games coming to Playstation?
Genuine question
Jez is one of those people who is 50/50. I never take his rumors as legit until other vetted sources pick it up.

"Jez is one of those people who is 50/50. I never take his rumors as legit until other vetted sources pick it up."
Yeah... 50/50 is exactly on point with his reputation as an "insider" on Reddit.
However, to claim that Halo Infinite is successful and profitable when the same studio behind it will continue and develop one of Microsoft´s most important and expensive franchises to produce, is nothing but attest the obvious.
Lol..I agree because it didn't take 500 million to make. That BS was shot down way before it was released by the project lead. Don't confuse the budget for the game with development cost.
The games were good but the way the paced it was mediocre.
-there should have been an emphasis of gameplay demo for at least 2 games.
-Gears 5 needed a campaign gameplay reveal.
-Halo infinite's trailer was just for the fans but it looked like it was about to reveal gameplay.
-No new IP was a disappointment (Bleeding edge leaking as a shame and took the shock value away)
-Fable 4 not showing up was honestly quite surprising considering Playground games have a clip on twitter showing what they called a new AAA RPG studio.
These press conferences are all hype... Did Xbox do well, yeah, it doesn't really matter if it all spoke to you, there's something for everyone in this one and it's fine... but really all these "press conferences" are "fine" not great, not awful, the people trying to rate them are just trying to find ways to get clicks.
With all the rumors that were going around, this conference was quite over hyped.
Basically mediocre in my opinion
