Everwilds looks like the game Xbox needs.
Loved the show today, tons of great announcements.
Sweet.....Streets of Rage coming to GamePass on Day 1!!
You best get used to it. All first party games will be going that way eventually. And that isn't good.
When you launch all of your games on a cheap subscription service you have to find a way to monetize the new releases and so far doing it though MP seems to be the only way they can think of to get it done. I would never have put my new games on there day 1 if I were MS, I know they want the service to take off but it really does make it so that every game will either have to focus on some kind of service set up or contain MP with a lot of microtransactions. I have a feeling any single player story driven experiences will be AA quality at best and probably come from their smaller studios.
Funny thing is, the best live service I have seen thus far is on Playstation. GT Sport seems to be the only AAA dev that gets it. Compare what they did to what Forza has done, or SoT, oe Battlefield 5, or Division 2.
GaaS can work, but it has to be done right and with the gamer coming first. Otherwise you end up with crap.
Oh yeah for sure but if you want to do something like an expansion with a single player game that's a pretty hefty investment and who knows how many people will shell out for it? I can see why someone who plays mostly MP games thinks something like GP is good, I haven't played an MP game in forever, I think Battlefront 2 was the last one I spent any real time on and I gave up on that after about a month or so. I just don't see how a single player AAA game gets made when you don't charge for it up front, there aren't many monetization options for them afterwards compared to a game as a service type of title or an MP game with a ton of microtransactions. The way that guy Booty was talking today they are still focused on GaaS in the future and honestly if GP is the way they are going to go they almost have to do that to make any money.
Where have you heard this? I've heard the opposite, albeit from sources not exactly in love with Microsoft.

Rare unveils Everwild, a new exclusive game for Xbox and Windows 10
The Banjo-Kazooie creator is back with a new Microsoft exclusive
www.theverge.com
Rare’s previous Xbox One and Windows 10 exclusive, Sea of Thieves, launched last year and the team will continue to work on it and provide updates. It’s fair to say it wasn’t a smash hit, but it also wasn’t a flop either. Sea of Thieves now has a dedicated community of players, but Rare is clearly keen to try something new with Everwild that’s not necessarily as service-driven as Sea of Thieves.
Rollins, if you were to add up all the games shown on Xbox at E3 this year, and at X019 this year, I have to imagine it's a crazy off the charts number. Phil said he has more to talk about this year yet. Good grief. No idea how I will find time for all these games.
Not exactly specific is it. "Not neccissarily" means might not be a Gaas game....or in simpler terms, they have no clue.Tom Warren (who interviewed MS):

Well Tom was there interviewing. PS fans like JinCA have been calling it a GAAS game because they haven't been there.
And yet the interviewer doesn't know one way or the other.
Jinca said he read it was GaaS.
You read an article that is not definitive either way and trying to claim it isn't GaaS..
Implying he said that cause "console Warz" after what you did is pretty funny.
You thinking it was "console warz" is even funnier.
We trust Tom Warren over the PS fans that JinCa follows on Twitter.
I don't. you clearly do going by your redundant labels.
You can trust whoever you want. But he isn't telling you anything other than "might not be." Which means it could be.
