"This is the beginning of something that's going to be really special," Xbox CMO says
Right before the full reveal of Warframe 1999 at TennoCon, we chatted with Ben Starr about the responsibility of stepping into such a huge franchise.
TNS: "We're shining a light on a bunch of "bad" games that may've been left wanting when it comes to their critical or audience reception."
Good list I've had similar reactions to some games even ones on the list like the order and Callisto
Also I recently grabbed forspoken for, 5 dollars at a eb games Clarence sale and I am actually enjoying it more than I thought I would
Sometimes you just need to give critically panned games a chance
I feel like we’re finally starting to see a sea change in how we treat our favorite games. Sure, we all acknowledge that a game can suck and we can still enjoy it. Hopefully this results in meaningful review scores. Personally, I find a lot of bad games are better if you blast through them on the easiest difficulty. Callisto protocol on the image is a good example of this.
Actually, I started liking FO76 after the wastelanders DLC ... it has been my guilty pleasure
other games I can think of Order 1886, Driveclub, Resident Evil 6 (only the Leon part), Alpha Protocol (pretty unique, needs a remake), XIII Remake (after patches), Medal of Honor 2010, Medal of Honor Warfighter, Homefront The Revolution, Enemy Front, Legendary The Box, Faces of War, Conflict: Vietnam, Conflict: Global Storm & Codename: Panzers – Cold War
I loved The Order, ridiculous graphics for it's time and a very interesting setting, it was linear but not as bad as people say. Similar thing with Callisto Protocol, i admit that i played it a long time after release so maybe issues were fixed by then, but it was a fantastic Dead Space-like horror game with some of the best graphics i've seen in my life.
Thanks to the Starfield Creation Kit, the "Earth Restored" mod has transformed the Earth into a Pine Forest and filled the sea with life.
Saying it's the beginning is dangerous. Now they have to truly deliver regularly and with similar quality games. That's a very high bar to maintain is Starfield ends up being a critical and sales success.
With Starfield and Forza Motorsport, Xbox gamers are finally getting true current AAA first party games!
Jerret West also confirmed Hellblade II, Avowed and Towerborne for 2024, among other games they don´t had disclosed yet for 2024 and 2025!
It took long enough due COVID among other things, but Xbox is finally getting there to deliver a cohesive and consistent games output, genre diverse and high quality AAA, AA and indie games.
Poor Redfall...
Game studios need to realise this GaaS thing will eventually drive the industry into the ground. You can't just cut off innovation for constant revenue-pumping via service provision.
It is quality first-party titles that conserve the legacy of videogames.
Starting gun was Halo which over their control has gradually become a shell of it's former self. Let's seriously cut the fanboy BS off for a minute. MS has had a horrible track record over the last 2 gens. Practically every studio under their name has been and is still horribly mismanaged, that includes the ones obtained after the Bethesda deal because anyone with working eyes could see Redfall was a ball of jank and they still pushed it out. And now they're hypin this one game as the second coming of Xbox Jesus. Let games speak from themselves, cause otherwise you keep setting up people fr disappointment.
