I'm just hoping Microsoft can get back on track with some good exclusives like they had back in the days of the original Xbox - halo, fable, GOW and forza. 3 out of those 4 franchises are a near certainty to appear on the new Xbox, and there's unofficial reports from gaming websites that there's a Fable 4 in the works right now.
Yeah rumours of a Fable 4 have been floating around for a while now supposedly Playground Games who made the Forza games are developing it.

I hope they don’t call it Fable 4, really hoping for a pure fresh reboot, with it just being called Fable.

Anyone else think it’s likely the new Xbox, and possibly PS5, will be delayed until 2021? It would suck but I reckon if it happens would be the right call, just don’t think this year is a good time to release brand new consoles and games, with the uncertainty of this virus.

If they still can release at their original 2020 launch dates why wouldn't they?

I mean I feel with everyone being stuck at home with consoles is kinda the perfect opportunity.
I'd think they'd stick to the schedule. These things would have been in production for a while 
now and it's an opportune time with everyone stuck at home.
That could change though if we get through this by the end of the year and everyone just wants to be outside for 6 months

True, I’m more thinking of the economic impact. People who can afford a new console will get one but those who could previously but have fallen on hard times won’t. Also, would the games just be digitally released or will stores be open and selling hard copies?

If they can be released they will. A lot of the stuff is on shared production lines so if they can be produced when they're booked in to do so they will.
Sorry to bring up old topics but add another fan of gamepass here. Took me a while but one of their cheeky free trails got me hooked on the concept.
There's so many games that spark an interest for me that I don't wanna spend full retail on. Perfect example A Plagues Tale. Played it through gamepass and loved it. Then tried Nier and didn't love it, no harm I uninstalled and moved on.
I've always been curious on how the devs see the cash though. Cause it obviously affects their sales. Do they get paid a lump sum by Microsoft every month it's up, or do they get money for everyone that downloads it?

Great question.

I imagine it's a share of the subscription revenue proportional to how many downloads the game has. That it sometimes includes brand new games I wonder how they make money of those though. Individual sales of the game might make up a large portion of the revenue still but I often wonder how viable the service is long term if more people adopt it. I would happily pay more for it though.

Game companies get cash moneys in a few ways:
- Upfront fee
- Based on downloads
- Extra Sales from people purchasing the game after trialing it on the service (XGP provides a discount)
- DLC sales from increased player base.

When consoles get launched are they good deals on new/existing headsets? the fabric on my current one is tearing off and I'm itching to get a replacement haha.
I can still remember how bad the xbox one original launch was. Glad they've come a long way since then
Oh yeah whole DRM thing and it was going to be an entertainment box and then Sony came out with the PS4 and said no DRM bs and it's a console to play games

When that happened, a lot of Xbox 360 fans said “* that I’m getting a PS4”

In fairness that debacle was probably for the best. Now we have Phil who has been killing it.

I really don't see the point of these. A new console just months before next Gen.
If they released them in May with a 9/10th finish game, I'd be all in.

My thoughts too. Only reason I can think of is that it was already far into planning. If it weren't delayed we would have been playing it this week.
