Microsoft has a track record of not having anything in the first half of the year. A long track record. Sony on the other hand has a long track record of releasing games all year long. Last year was an exception due to Horizon and GT7 getting pushed due to COVID.

Kena? Not first party but it was a exclusive just like Stalker is.
I mean could you imagine the year 2021 could have been? Those games getting pushed was a blessing in disguise for Microsoft. It elevated Forza and Halo to have October/November/December all to themselves. 2022 is stacked. There's more coming in 2022 that has not been announced yet.

I think them announcing horizon as a holiday 2021 games a a ploy, bet they knew damn well in 2020 that it would be a 2022 game

No way. It wasn't until March where companies started making plans on working remotely. That will automatically push a lot of things a couple months alone. Horizon could have launched but they didn't want to push the developers any harder, and didnt want to rush it to get it to a fall release. Those extra months helps them lock in performance and last minute bug fixes/tweaks.

When you declare that your game comes out on 11.11.22, over a year in advance, then it's going to take something major to delay it. Skyrim came out on 11.11.11. They're more likely to kill single digit numbers of their employees from exhaustion before they actually delay Starfield. Too many 1s.

I think starfield will hold its date, even if it has to come out broken.
Redfall i think will be pushed to 2023. No gameplay of it and what leaked in november was so incredibly rough i don’t see how it turns into a full game by summer, especially with Arkanes history of delaying games
People think Ragnarok won’t make 2022 and that had a full gameplay trailer in September. Even after Deathloop had a full blown gameplay trailer in 2020 and was supposed to be a launch title it ended up as a fall 2021 title, almost a full year delay

I'm thinking Bethesda is now a MS first party and the manufacturer learned its lesson with Halo Infinite. If it's not ready, they should delay.
But what you say is true.

No, Sony does not release games all year round. Like I said, they typically do not have anything in the second half. Last year they didn't. 2020 they did because it was a launch year. 2019 they didn't. Etc. Last year was not an exception. LOL!
Microsoft has forge mode and co-op coming to Halo first half this year! MS delivering all.year.round.

Sony put out Death Stranding in November of 2019, and Spider-man in September 2018

We get a better game as a result so I'm okay with a delay.

They published it. They didn't develop it. Sony does not release games they developed in the second half of the year.
You had to go back over 3 years to find another example! Spider-Man in 2018! LOL! It sounds like that is the exception, rather than the rule, no?

They own the game dude. They decided when to release it

They developed and published both spider-man and death stranding. Death Stranding was co-developed with XDev on the Decima Engine. It’s 100% a first party game.
And in 2017 they released Knack 2 in September and Gran Turismo Sport in October.
The only year where you can even say sony didn’t release in the 2nd half of the year was last year and thats only because of delays. Horizon and GT7 were 100% planned for 2021

And I just had to fact check you. Can you explain the following MS games released in the first half of the year:
-Minecraft Dungeons
-Gears Tactics
-Bleeding Edge
-Ori and the Will of the Wisps
Seems like they have a lot of games releasing in the first half of the year, so I'm not sure what you're talking about.

Yep, Series consoles have been in full-on drought mode for the majority of the generation already. Not a good look.

The concern is heartwarming, it realy is, but man WHAT a 'fall' it is though.
Seriously if XB1 can live through some barren months, X/S certainly can.

So again what do people have to look forward too if they buy a Xbox in next couple months?
Kacho

You really can't help yourself can you? You realize no one is saying Xbox is doomed right? Microsoft doesn't need you to defend how objectively pitiful their software lineup has been. This delay is out of their hands, but their software lineup isn't. That's on them.

400 games on Gamepas?, whatever multiplatform games launch in that time?. Believe it or not but people do actually play stuff other then exclusives, a lot more than exclusives actually.

I take it that is supposed to be satire right?
S0ULZB0URNE

What does 400 older games have to do with the 2022 lineup being barren till the end of the year? Wtf d00d?
Kacho

Look at your comment above this one. It reads like PR speak. Go play some of those 400 games on Game Pass instead of stressing about mild criticism about Xbox on NeoGAF.com.
Stuart360

I was asked what Xbox gamers have to look forward to, and i responded that they have plenty to play. Do you think people sign up for Gamepass but dont actually play anything on it, they just wait for new games to come to the service?.
Plus what about the multiplatform games i said?, are people not allowed to look forward to them?.
Just the usual users with the concern trolling as usual. Which shouldnt even be in this thread really.
S0ULZB0URNE

What does look forward to mean?
The issue we who game on Xbox(you don't)have is we are displeased that we have nothing coming out/to look forward to until the end of 2022.
But you are in here(don't know why when you don't game on Xbox) doing damage control.
The delay sucks and hurts the lineup PERIOD!

I'm not going to argue with you because going back and looking at release dates proves you wrong. I already listed all the second half releases Sony has done and you ignored it and acted like they were all launch games. Spider-Man, Death Stranding, GT Sport, The Last Guardian, Concrete Genie, Medievil, Until Dawn, and many more all launched between August and December. Get your facts right.

Well wasn't your "fact" that MS doesn't release games in the first half? Ready to walk that back now?

And what does it have to do with you arguing with us who game on Xbox about its disappointing lineup?
