Ed Stern, writer of scripts and funny man of Splash Damage, tells us how the game has progressed over the last few months
Welcome to Developer_Direct 2025, a behind the scenes look at new gameplay, features, and the latest info for some of the biggest games coming to Xbox in 2025. You’ll hear straight from the game creators at id Software, Compulsion Games, Sandfall Interactive, and a surprise studio for a game that we’re excited to unveil.
Looking forward to the announcfement of Halo MCC coming to other platforms. I'd love to see an influx of new players for some blood gulch matches.
Speculated games that could be that 1 more thing.
Resident Evil 9 (maybe imo)
Persona 6 (not likely imo)
FF Remakes (not likely imo)
New Lost Odyssey (definitely not, its not a long running franchise)
Ninja Gaiden 4 (maybe and hopefully)
I really hope it's Ninja Gaiden 4 but its probably Resident Evil 9.
I hope they don't waste the direct advertising a third-party game. We get enough of that with Sony.
Edit: Ugh. Disappointed. Not that it's NG4, but that they used this time to advertise a game that doesn't need it over another 1st Party title.
Not saying this will happen at this show but apparently a new a Halo could get announced. Yep a brand new Halo. Could be a spin off or something but. A new a Halo announcement would be pretty wild.
And i thought it was xbox exclusive since i didn't see ps5 during the show but it on psn right now to purchase.
Multiple games are currently in development at Bethesda Game Studios' id Software, based on the latest information.
I’d love another Quake, maybe even a more horror slanted Doom.
I’d be very happy with a new IP though.
I would like a wolfstein reboot by Id, machinegames ones are good but too enfatuated with cinematics
id would deserve major props if they rolled the dice on *either* of those choices.
Pete Hines is retiring from Bethesda Softworks after 24 years.
Im glad he leaving. Bethesda has been terrible under his leadership. Redfall, Starfield, Fallout76 and the list goes on an on. His leadership style is outdated. Hopefully, MS bring someone in that knows what they are doing.
I will give you Fallout 76, but Redfall and Starfield's blame needs to fall somewhat on the terrible Xbox publishing team. With all their resources and supposed smarts...they fungled it.
@Mika He’s the communications guy - you can’t blame him for the quality of the product.
Maybe they can go to their earlier purchases for replacements . Like Rare devs , Gear devs or 343, one of the very few studios they built up and man they are great.
That could work ...if MS knew what they were doing themselves ...
But let's be real. Xbox was in charge of redfall and Starfield. They just don't know what a good game looks like.
I interviewed at Bethesda once, and while there were some very smart mid level team members, the upper ranks (EP/VP/Studio Head) were a total boys' club. The Madmen series ego in that lunch was stiffling.

Pete Hines was against locking out the majority of their console playerbase (ps gamers). Probably disgusted at the hypocrisy of white knight Phil assuring PS gamers that they can still play COD. Acquisition goes through, Hines goes out.
Goodbye Pete.
i wonder if he was asked to leave.
im pretty sure not everyone was on board with the acquisition.
Pretty much everyone outside of Todd has made snide comments against the acquisition but money talks
He seems like a really nice bloke :D
As for brink, he is modest about their roots which is very important :D
i cannot wait for Brink, why did they have to delay it till 2011 :(
Only thing bad with brink is the release date...
I dont see what is the big about this game? Graphics, acrobatics, I dont care what smoke and mirrors this game puts out. I haven't heard them say one thing it brings to the table besides "teh graphics" and "Oh, it likes Mirros Edge". I haven't heard them say one thing about the online, and thats why right now I feel like its just another shooter. Its just trying to prove the 360 can do good graphics.
