“These are the games releasing in the next 12 months”
Shit post aside. I am genuinley very excited for this game. I put god knows how many hours in to fm’s 2-7. Can easily see myself putting over 100 hours into this

I'm not sure I'd do that, myself - Hellblade isn't exactly a mass market title waiting to pop off. If it were me, I'd delay Starfield till November, give them two more months to polish, and let it be the holiday title.
That's not left field, that's the parking lot across town

it doesn't matter when is released. but with those 3 games MS has 5-6 months to build a "cadence" of AAA. Which is one of the many issues Xbox has.

I'm going with Age of Empires IV for Xbox consoles in October and Forza Motorsport in November.

Built from the ground up next gen exclusives take time, Turn 10 are one of the most consistent studios around.
Just technically alone this is a huge release for this generation, 4k 60fps with on track RT is the promise.
Also how this is all going to translate to Series S, can't wait to see it next month.

Sounds totally reasonable. But they need to show more of the game, to finally convince me. Show me the single player progression system. GT7 was trash in that regard. I want start with a japanese sports car from the 80s and work my way up from there, that would be sweet.

"Built from the ground up"
you don't actually believe that do you?
God I hope so. I sold GT7 about a week after I bought it due to that. I SO wanted it to be a Gran Turismo 4 esque single player and I was so disappointed with the super linear cafe system that was forced on us.
FM7s career was better but still you go into super fast stuff straight away, it just ruins the build up and the pay off of finally driving a fast racing car after working towards that goal for the first half of the game. classic GT had the formula perfected, they changed it for some reason, and most people dont even seem to mind which I find crazy

Same reason GT games take close to 7 years between each iteration

But Forza Motorsport never took as much time

Yeah it looks barely better than GT7, which was absolutely not "built from the ground up" (and has already been out for over a year).
Surely there's no excuse for not having almost photorealistic driving games by now on PS5 and Xbox Series X.

Because they were reworking their engine for next-gen
Plus pandemic slowdown
Plus helping PG with adaptation of ForzaTech for non-racing genre (Fable)
I mean. Motorsport 7 was criticised for treading the same waters then previous games. So I'm glad they are taking their time instead of rushing another Motorsport game out 2 years after FM7. Just hoping it will translate into better campaign (for example).

Actually, it was quietly put in the dumpster after they realized it wasnt actually going anywhereI'm not sure I'd do that, myself - Hellblade isn't exactly a mass market title waiting to pop off.

Actually I do, considering the complete physics and graphics overhaul with Tier 2 VRS.
Also they were consistently releasing games up until FM7 so the timeframe makes me believe what they say.

Really a 'out of left field' prediction right there!

They'll probably do one of the developer showcases for it before launch. Would be a great spot to try and demonstrate these upgrades, though I assume that some things like this would be more apparent when playing than just watching.
Unfortunately that's a big barrier.
Forza monthly is a thing so I fear that they will stick some of that stuff that's harder to sell in there and keep the sexy stuff in the June or Developer Direct.
I know it ain't easy but showing how a car tires react when going over a curb when the game is refreshing at 30hz vs 60hz (or whatever the correct numbers) would be really helpful.

From what I understand they ditched the old engine and are developing the game on a brand new engine. Which could explain the extra couple of years I guess.

Yeah, it's just repeated PR bullet points right now without anyone knowing WTF it means.

Are you genuinely citing "Tier 2 Variable Rate Shading" as a reason a game would take 6 years to develop?
They literally haven't released a game since before the Xbox One X released (Being a support studio to Playground doesn't count).
You are right though, they were consistently releasing games up to Forza 7. Which is why this level of a delay is so puzzling, there had to have been something that went terribly wrong behind the scenes. As a side note I personally think pushing Ray Traced Reflections in game is a complete waste of time and a waste of resources, and I'll be surprised if it looks better than Forza Horizon 5.

Bought series x for this game, this better be good, I want good online rank play with pit stops.
