He said "next half" so I think he is going for the first half of the year. So, that would just be QB. Isn't Recore supposed to come out in the first half of the year? Scalebound and Crackdown 3 are 2016 as well but I do not think they are first half.

Gears 4 and Crackdown are definitely gonna be Holiday games.
I meant the first half of 2016 nothing is confirmed except Quantum Break for April right?
Meanwhile PS4 First Half of 2016 has: Gravity Rush, UC4, SFV, MLB 16, R&C Reboot, NMS, PSVR and Small Titles. Quantum Break can't compete with all that is what I meant. Just like this year that MS didn't have nothing after Ori and The Blind Forest.
In April, yeah.

Is there anything announced for kinect at all?

Oh, I see. Yeah, if we're talking about the first half of 2016, PS4 has a much better lineup, hands down.

A $50 dollar price drop is all I saw.
We don't know there exact games. But you have Recore and quantum break. Then maybe smaller stuff like cup head and I'm guess Fabke legends is getting delayed
Crackdown beta is just summer and everything else seems to be fall

Is Scalebound a Holiday game? Don't think it's a Spring/Summer game, doesn't look like it was running to well on Gamescom.
Recore is confirmed early 2016 and the way things are looking, Fable Legends (lol) has to be 2016 too since it still doesn't have a release date and Greenberg's response to a question if it was still 2015 was "It'll come out when it's ready".
Add in a few indies and it's a strong lineup. Not as strong as PS4 but strong enough to keep them going into the holidays.
Second half of 2016 lineup will probably be Forza Horizon 3, Gears 4, Scalebound, Halo Wars 2, Sea of Thieves with Crackdown getting an early 2017 release.

MS' early 2016 lineup is outdone by Sony's lineup but it is still much better than it typically is. I think MS can have a good spread of exclusives for next year. It is just a matter of whether they want to spread them out or lump them into the holidays to capitalize on their usual holiday rush.
Yeah thats not coming ou anytime soon but I think the Xbox will be fine next year. You'll probably have residual tomb raider and fallout bundles sitting around, The division will probably get a bundle in March, you have quantum break in April. They can also do a $350 halo bundle like last year with the MCC bundle

They said Scalebound will be a Q4 title.

I think Quantum Break, Recore, maybe even Fable...they won't help XB1 to have a more or less first semester unless we see $299 bundles.

- Fable Legends (Currently in Beta)
- Some Indies (Q1)
- Quantum Break (April)
- Recore (Q2)

- Some Indies (Q2-Q3)

During the first half of next year, Microsoft will probably release Quantum Break, ReCore, Killer Instinct Season 3, and Cuphead. 2016 will be much better than 2015 in terms of its release schedule.

Forza Horizon 3 (or another racing IP) in Late Q3/early Q4
Say that to Greenberg :/ He thinks its the Star Wars of gaming.
Sangetsu-II
Member
Well, let's not speculate for now. But will be taken into consideration.
Yeah, about right
slavesnyder

No Indies in Q4?
The Mad Draklor
Member
I wonder if it's even a good idea to release Forza Horizon 3 next year, especially with the way the series has been selling lately...
Sangetsu-II
Member
Did we see any this year? Why would indies compete with CoD, etc?
We have no idea really how well it's selling or the budget for any of the games. So if Ms wants to keep churning them out, fine by me. I'd love a new horizon in Asia or maybe Africa
I think front loaded gets kinda iffy this time of year considering Black Friday and Christmas can boost sales.
slavesnyder

Fair point.
A Customer Came in today, if possible i'll have bish PM me and get him to verify me when He has time, but one customer actually sold his xbox one and put the store credit towards an uncharted PS4 Bundle, I'll be able to give more input tomorrow i was able to ask why, and he responded he really wanted to play sword art online, & Dragon quest Heroes quite the shock considering the area my Gamestop is located at
The Mad Draklor
Member
I can't say anything about the budget, but Forza 6 selling 190K including bundles in the US is kinda low...
DriftingSpirit

Isn't Turn 10 dedicated to racing/Forza? Similar to how Coalition is now a dedicated Gears studio? I think they have to keep making Forza.
Even if the series isn't selling particularly well (I am not claiming one way or the other), I think it still helps bulk up MS' lineup for the year. It is better to have something than nothing. Of course, it doesn't do anything for me personally.

Why did he buy an XB1 in the first place if he wanted JRPG's?
Welfare
Member
Hey Cosmic, those heavy hitters are doing work.
well i asked him, and he didn't seem certain on why he had it, Ive noticed the games he had were of great quality & Different variety from the xbox one of which he traded were (SO,GTA5, Tomb Raider DE, & MCC) Were the games he traded in but he also noted that most of his friends are either getting a PS4 for christmas/black friday(besides the fact that he wanted SAO, & DQH) , or trading in their old systems for a PS4 (store credit deal we have going )
You have to remember, the Xbox 360 started off with a very strong JRPGS initiative. Perhaps the customer expected the same thing for Xbox 1.
why?
It's a temporary barometer for how well the latest installment is selling.
Might help with predictions.
