Defining Duke, Episode 74: Our Xbox & Bethesda Games Showcase 2022 Predictions ft. Xbox Two
Added 2022-06-02 16:00:08 +0000 UTCThe situation has changed for Xbox entering this year's showcase. With the delay of both Starfield and Redfall, 2022 is looking mighty empty and they need answers. However, the slate for 2023 is quite the opposite as it appears to be chockful of games. Joining the Dukes are the fine gentlemen of Xbox Two - Rand Al Thor 19 and Jez Corden. Together, we comb through each and every Xbox first party studio, rumored third party project, Game Pass candidates, acquisition targets, and some of the most bold, outlandish predictions you may ever hear. This is our longest episode yet, so please do enjoy and we will see you on the other side for our showcase reactions.

2022-06-08 14:31:06 +0000 UTCThe slander against Forza is unacceptable. Both Horizon and the main series are awesome in different ways. I will also add that I got a Series X mainly to play Forza Horizon with upgrades, even though I had already played the shit out of it on my base Xbox one.

2022-06-04 03:56:26 +0000 UTCNintendo has Mario, Kirby, and Yoshi. I'm sure they can make a banger Banjo
James Hill
2022-06-03 19:25:57 +0000 UTCNintendo shouldn't waste time and resources on an inferior platformer IP. Just make Mario games.
2022-06-03 19:24:05 +0000 UTCTony just saying this is Nothing like 2014-2018……it’s simply 2 game delays to make them better the public realizes how bright the future and gamepass is for Xbox. I just don’t understand the doom and gloom but I love Cog
Shane Geis
2022-06-03 18:19:10 +0000 UTCNintendo wouldn't understand banjo either.

2022-06-03 18:15:48 +0000 UTCI wouldn't use the word delusional, but yeah as an actual Xbox user who downloads new things almost every single week on Game Pass my eaten is still good. I am disappointed by the delays, but there are so many amazing developers that have things in the pipeline like Obsidian/Machine Games/inXile, but I'm not even close to worried about where Microsoft is right now. I told my friends halfway through last generation that Xbox was going to get their shit together this generation and it would be the place to play. So far I feel justified, and we still haven't even gotten the Starfields.

2022-06-03 18:15:20 +0000 UTCCog is being absolute delusional the hardest spot he has seen Xbox in outside of Twitter no one cares about Starfield Redfall delays how do you explain with all the doom and gloom still outselling PS
Shane Geis
2022-06-03 16:25:06 +0000 UTCNintendo just needs to throw like $50 million at Xbox and buy back Banjo.
James Hill
2022-06-03 15:10:11 +0000 UTCJust don’t understand the constant comments about not wanting to see certain things….it’s a 90 minute show how TF does it hurt if 15 minutes out of 90 minutes is not exactly everything you want?
Shane Geis
2022-06-03 13:26:54 +0000 UTCGreat episode as always. These guys are so funny when you are all together

2022-06-02 16:44:54 +0000 UTCIf my name were Ben Dover I’d do exactly that for 60fps, new cheevos, and quest bug fixes for a Fallout 3/NV remasters. Mainly New Vegas but they’d probably do both. And with MS owning them I’d hope they’d mandate Bethesda or whoever to give NV love.
