Long planned, Microsoft's speech at its HotChips conference was rich in information. Confirmations of what we already knew, details and other adjustments to the technological choices made by Microsoft abound on the 29 slides that result.
For us, the opportunity to go back to the bowels of the Xbox Series X , trying, with our knowledge, to explain to you the phenomenal tour de force that is playing out here. If the work on the Xbox One X and its “Scorpio Engine” chip impressed us in 2017, that of the Series X “Scarlett” chip literally blows us away and takes us to another galaxy where hardware optimization is omnipresent .
Publisher Nacon and developer KT Racing shared new details and a trailer of the upcoming racing simulator Endurance Motorsport Series.
In an industry with countless FIFAs, sorry EA Sports FCs, Sloclap’s Rematch is a brilliant arcade football game that feels incredibly unique. Putting players in the shoes of an individual player, the new multiplayer game is essentially Rocket League without the rockets and cars… it’s football.
TNS: Expedition 33 was the wake-up call Square Enix needed, telling it turn-based RPGs are still popular, but that shouldn't have been the case.
True, but if it does get it through their thick skulls, then that works.
Although, the Dragon Quest 1 + 2 HD remakes will be turn-based and (the worst kept secret) Final Fantasy IX remake should be turn-based I would imagine. Let's see if any newer games go turn-based too.
DQIII HD Remake was turned based and very successful. Then there was a really obscure turn based game came Balder's Gate 3. I heard it might have done well.
While it is true that Sqaure Enix has moved away from turn based games compared to how they were in the past, there is a good reason for it.
Older gamers will know this but during the ps2 era, we were flooded with turned based games from Japanese studios and this created a form of fatigue back then going into the next generation.
When Square released FF13, they received heavy criticism for making the game turned based like every other FF game and not doing enough to innovate. This is why they made FF15, FF7 Remake and FF16 have real time combat. It gave the series a fresh spin and has brought in new fans to the series.
I personally would be happy with either turned based FF or the real-time combat version we see today.
Dang wish I saw your post before I made mine because we definitely feel the same way lol
Only need to look at their own game DQ 11 approaching 10 million to show there's a market. And that's not as big of a name as FF
Another article about Expedition 33 and Square Enix and turn-based games? This is starting to sound like propaganda.
The game didn't sell because it's a turn-based game; it sold and is enjoyed because it's a really freaking good game that released completed at a good price without gamer drama attached to it. No Mtx, no wait-until-it's-patched, minimal bloat, a self-contained story, no multiplatform BS. Just a solid original game that absolutely nails what it intended to do.
Maybe try actually listening to the fans who have supported the series for decades. This habit of ignoring your core audience just to chase people who were never interested in Final Fantasy in the first place makes no sense. And when that approach fails, doubling down on it is beyond baffling.
The battle system has never been the main reason non-FF or non-JRPG players stayed away. Gutting the series’ identity to chase a broader market doesn’t attract new players. It just alienates the loyal ones.
Keep going down this road and we’ll end up with Final Fantasy Fortnite abomination or a F2P Battle Royale game.. Oh wait…

What is quite hilarious is scrolling down that article I noticed 4 pictures of the PS5 I had to recount and indeed there is only two of the Xbox and 4 the PlayStation.
Is this a Microsoft article ? (It clearly is) they are doing a great job advertising Sony's console .
Xbox news is so slow that we're still talking about hotchips
Only thing I dislike about Xbox . Is you can’t play your game at all if there is an update . Even offline I hate it . PS4 I can still play the game at least single player portion . But Xbox Na not at all. Have too wait until that shit updates before I can even play something I’ve payed for . This shit needs too stop next gen ! . I bought an offline game . But I could not play it 3 days later at all , because it was downloading a stupid update . If Microsoft carry’s this shit forwards im out day one . Even Sony lets you play the game without online while it’s downloding
