What Every Xbox Games Studios Team Is Working On

In charge of the Age of Empires real time strategy series, the recently created World's Edge studio is headed up by Shannon Loftis. As the caretaker of the franchise, World's Edge is in charge of partnerships and all Age of Empires related projects such as Age of Empires 4 , which is currently being developed by Relic Entertainment. Other partners include Tantalus Media and Forgotten Empires, two studios who helped create Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition . Loftis has hinted that there are even more partnerships the studio isn't talking about just


Gears Tactics , a join collaboration between Splash Damage and The Coalition, is also getting upgraded to 4k and 60 frames per second as well. Outside of enhancing already available titles and keeping Gears 5 updated with new content, it's unknown what direction The Coalition may be heading in for its next major title. Gears 6 seems like a no-brainer, but only time will t


After years of teases, 343 finally showed off actual gameplay for Halo: Infinite . The demo gameplay showed Master Chief infiltrating a new Halo ring, fighting some familiar alien enemies, and racing around a large open landscape in the Warthog off-road vehicle. The gameplay seemed to evoke a feeling of nostalgia, looking similar to some classic areas from the first game, even with new and modern features built in like the grappling hook and drop wall equipm


As long as a downed soldier doesn’t die, they won’t suffer any negative effects going forward. Players will want to heal soldiers anyway to get them back in battle, but if for whatever the player is not able to, they don’t have to worry about long-term negative attributes coming back to bite t


The Boomshot Relic is one of the best weapons that damage enemies with its three explosive shorts at once. The relic changes the Boomshot that makes it easier to fire by holding down the trigger to shoot three Explosive rounds at the same time. With this weapon in hand, the rate of damage increases in a short amount of t


Though this starts as a small glitch in the initial stages, it becomes a big problem towards the end as the war gets tougher. Watching similar animations repeatedly can be tedious, especially in essential side missions or in missions that you lose something if you f


Any fan of adrenaline-packed action games has probably experienced this before; Getting into a firefight and running out of ammo almost immediately or setting a character with AP to use on Overwatch but then realize it can only fire o


Here’s a tip: if taking on a tough boss, injure all the weaker enemies first, but don’t kill them yet. When their health is sufficiently whittled down, unleash a string of executions at once to give a huge boost in action points that can be used on the b


These missions often have specific parameters, such as a limit on the number of characters that can be deployed, or specific buffs for enemies like increased movement or damage. Also, Gears sent on one mission cannot be sent on anot


As expected, Turn 10 is hard at work on the next generation version of the popular Forza Motorsport series. Simply titled Forza Motorsport , the new trailer shown at the Games Showcase highlights the work that the studio has put into the new game. Turn 10 has already stated that its developers are putting the new tech to work for this latest entry in order to make the most realistic driving experience ever for the ser


If using Gift Bags, Indomitable can be a great Talent at second level to reduce the duration of nasty status effects. This can be further paired with Walk It Off , though this second ability also reduces beneficial stats as well. Bigger and Better and All Skilled Up are also always good Talent options for Divinity Original Sin 2 Fighter more combat skills and Civil Abilit


On the flip side though, enemies can do the same. If one of the characters falls down one of these holes, they'll be lost for good, or players will have to reload a previous checkpoint if it’s a main character . There are definite benefits for getting close to the holes, and for keeping some dista


Is there an enemy ‘overwatching' near the end of the battle or in a tight spot? Don't forget a grenade. Although it is a good idea to save missiles, they usually have massive adverse effects on enemies because of their long cooldown feature. Even formidable enemies like Kantus and Boomers will have it extremely rough with stint grenades. They can revive injured allies from afar and offer the entire battalion with a new lease of life if they are in a gr


Similarly, the way the game handles downtime time is a bit uninspiring when compared to more established tactics series like XCOM . Though your team spends a lot of time in motion traveling in convoys, there is no time to evolve or grow. Instead, a player will spend time aligning units and personalizing favorite charact


Sound errors, on the other hand, occur depending on the position or an action a character is performing. Though this may not affect a player during play, proper background music or sound effects set the right pace and mood. It is also vital for ascertaining what is exactly happening during the g
