3. RE7
4. RE2 Remake
5. Dead By Daylight
6. Silent Hill 2 Remake

This might be a hot take, but as a Bethesda fan, Fallout and Elder Scrolls still feels very "Bethesda" and I think that's a good thing. I think it's good that Bethesda holds on to that identity in the future that they have made their own for so many generations of games and gamers.

Is it because it lost its identity? Do 'normies' really think CoD (e.g.) is an Xbox title in the same way Halo or Gears are?
Maybe I'm biased because I live in Europe, in a country where almost nobody has ever really considered Xboxβ€”to the point where 'PlayStation' is synonymous with 'console'.

"News outlets" putting spoilers out for clicks irk me.

Is Xbox Really β€œReturning”? New Leadership, Bluepoint Fallout & RE Requiem | XEP 311 YouTube video by Xbox Expansion Pass

If Xbox owns half the industry…
why does the brand feel smaller than ever?

Xbox owns 🎯 Call of Duty.
πŸ”₯ Diablo.
☒️ Fallout.
πŸ›‘οΈ Elder Scrolls.

So why doesn’t it feel like Xbox?

Is β€œReturn to Xbox” a real shift…
or just messaging?

Clear takes. No console-war noise.

GREAT exclusive games sell consoles.

Great libraries keep customers after they get that console.

β€œThink of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot. 

Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner, how frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds.”

β€” Carl Sagan

Warner Bros. Discovery calls 2025 a "reset year" for gaming. According to Variety, the company plans to return to its biggest franchises in 2027-2028. That timeline could line up with whatever Rocksteady is working on next, possibly even Batman Arkham.

Metacritic has sent a reminder email to all games site editors/publishers which is pretty strong, and great:

I wonder if PlayStation pulling back from steam related to the Xbox being a PC and the Steam Machine attempting to enter the market?

It devalues the need to purchase the system.

Counterpoint: 90+ million consoles sold and multiple games and studios have shuttered.

I don't mind polite criticism or speculation about what could or couldn't be said but there are far too working in games media for anyone to tear people down.

It was immature and it's unhelpful to our medium.

Bravo to Jez Corden for securing this interview.

We celebrate the few remaining people working in game coverage. There are too few for the loudest voices to use their platforms to do otherwise.

Rising tides lift all boats. Lift.
