Yeah, I think it'll be a new game. Double Fine's or Oblivion Remake's would be my bet.

Everyone knows about Oblivion. It's not that. Probably Halo.

I could see the next Forza being revealed with a deep dive in June and release date for late this year

Forza Horizon 6 set in Japan, yup.

I would take that and just me personally would love to see it launch on PS day and date and get more players in the game
Would also take a sneak peak on what Halo is cooking like you mentioned

If being on fire means simply releasing games then they have never had a problem doing that, lol.

Who was working on the new Perfect Dark? Gears of War: E-Day is being done by The Coalition, right?

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Would be a nice surprise but also kinda odd if they announce and release a game before Fable, where most of their staff is supposedly working.
We already know for sure that it’s a new game.
It’s probably one of the few MS franchises that absolutely has no issues with getting millions of players.
But it certainly will sell very well on PlayStation.

Oh yes, absolutely. Forgot about that.
In fact, i think Forza Horizon 6 has a higher chance than Double Fine's game. Might even be that "no red line" day one PS5 game that Phil and others were hinting at.

The Initiative, a new studio. That studio is pretty much a shell right now, and Crystal Dynamics is taking the production lead on Perfect Dark.

SoD 3 is an announced game.

Maybe a Halo MCC collection?
NatetheHate is saying that the game will release in 2025 on Xbox, PC, Switch 2, and PS5.

Again, that wouldn't be an unannounced game. Hell, that has been out for a decade now.

MCC Collection (a remastered) would technically be an unannounced game. Assuming they will treat it as a separate SKU.

Way more sensible to port Forza Horizon 5 first, make millions of dollars, then bring FH6 over later.

I think for racing games it males no sense to because of licensing. So its either the new game day one or no horizon at all imo.

Exactly.
Forza horizon 5 is still on sale everywhere. Full price right now. At worst, the game gets delisted when the license period ends.
Port it over this year on Switch 2 and PS5.
And then bring the next version as a port to both consoles. You’ll make more money that way.

It's never as big as these social media people claim it is.
A remaster of a remastered collection ? What do you think this is, SIE?
Sony are certainly much savvier businessmen though. Remasters are a low hanging fruit that MS just stumbles at doing.
Could have paid any number of studios cash to make Fallout remasters, for example. Like the Ready at Dawn folks that just got shuttered. Or Arkane Austin.

In fact, MS doesn't do remasters because they don't have relevant franchises to remaster
Voodoo Vince Remaster or Phanton Dust are examples of the level of games that MS has available to remaster

It seems to me that Xbox wants to buyout Steam at any cost so that they can totally takeover PC gaming.

Business model. It's like Samsung copying apple.
How did you get this impression from Aaron's tweet?
They have many IPs, but most of them are niche titles (Monstertruck madness, Freelancer, Star lancer, Id titles, ...). Also they remastered already a few games (e.g. fable).In fact, MS doesn't do remasters because they don't have relevant franchises to remaster

I really hope for a new Keen game, but I guess to much niche. At least that would be a surprise title for me ...
Btw, don't they also have the rights for wacky wheels?
Edit: oh, that was 3d realms not id.

Banjo remake outsourced.
Last year’s surprise was Indiana Jones.
Where did this come from?
Ah. You’re doubling down

The problem mostly comes to "how many copies will it sell?"
If the original game didn't sell as much - and the software-buying population has decreased since then - how many copies would a remaster sell?
Their very old games were good and will sell a lot as remasters (Halo 1-2-3, Gears 1-2-3, Fallout New Vegas etc.) but they are so old, a simple remaster wouldn't work. They will need a thorough remake, which ups the cost and requires higher sales. Their newer games have mostly been awful, so remastering them doesn't make much sense financially.
Sony remasters games because their original sold 15-20+ million copies (Horizon, TLOU, Spider-Man, etc.). So the remaster has a chance of selling 1-2 million copies and be very profitable.

To equal sony circle-jerking one of their biggest mid games, I could see microsoft doing that too.Crackdown 4
Somehow Lego Crackdown actually sounds more fun

Writes a lot, says very little
Well...maybe, they did say "unannounced" as in, not revealed officially, so it actually very well could be the Oblivion remake
360 era was crazy, Crackdown was that one GTA Killer when everyone was chasing the GTA craze post PS2 days lol I feel a Lego Crackdown legit sounds more fun then that actual IP imho
I'm semi triggered, but shit....who is even left at Rare that worked on the original that would work on a remake at this point? So maybe it being outsourced isn't that bad tbh

Totally agree with lego crackdown unironically, we could perhaps even get the destruction that they originally promised for 3.
As for banjo, ms does own activision, i know toys for bob is no longer a part of them but they do have a partnership, i could see them making it or vicarious visions

Bethesda themselves are going to show off an Oblivion remake. And Forza Horizon 6 wouldn’t be a surprise unannounced game. No Final Fantasy or any other ports either.
It’ll be something left field, probably not anything big since it’s just a developer direct, I’m guessing that it’s a 3rd party collaboration.
