All of us here on Team Xbox are tremendous fans of the talent involved in the creation of games, especially those that come into the ID@Xbox program. From cartoon platformers to adventure games to strategy simulators, there’s a robust catalog of titles that deliver countless memories from those gaming worlds. It’s almost unfair that we can only share a few of those with you too, but we’ve taken some of our most memorable moments and captured them here in this feature. Enjoy.

Chris Charla – Senior Director of ID@Xbox

Having been part of ID@Xbox since the beginning, it’s extremely hard to pick one moment from the thousands of great moments and games and people involved with this program on both the Xbox and developer side. But if you made me pick just one, it would be E3 2015, when I was onstage, in the dark, watching Chad and Jared Moldenhauer introduce Cuphead. I knew how hard they were working, and I knew that after the teaser the year before, people were expecting a lot. I also know how much that trailer was going to blow everyone away. That moment when the StudioMDHR logo came up on stage, I got goosebumps like I never have before, and I just could not get the silly grin off my face watching that game own the stage at E3. There have been tons and tons and tons of other fantastic moments and games over the last five years, but that moment will always stay with me!

The game that comes to mind for me is Brothers. I have such a vivid memory of the first time I completed the game as there’s a key moment at the end in which the game mechanic is designed to reinforce the emotion I felt as a player. If you haven’t played it, Brothers is a cooperative, puzzle-based game where each thumbstick controls one of the two brothers on screen simultaneously. In the game, the brothers’ mother has died and their dad is sick and in need of medicine. The game is about the brothers’ quest to get medicine and by the end of the game, the older brother dies as well. As the story draws to a close, the younger brother is alone, trying to get back to his dad and to do so, he must swim across a stream. We learn early in the game that the younger brother does not swim. Until this moment in the game, he’s only crossed water on the back of his older brother.

So there I was, trying to finish the game, pausing and working to solve the puzzle of how to get the younger brother across the water without his older brother. And then the answer just came to me and when I tried it and it worked – it was spine tingling. I felt the loneliness and sadness of the young brother. I don’t think I’ve ever encountered a gameplay mechanic that evoked emotion in the way Brothers did for me and so many other players.

Four years ago, when my son was six-years-old, we spent our winter vacation playing Never Alone and exploring the Iñupiat culture together.  It was the perfect game to play with my little one. The co-op nature meant that we had to work together, and the controls were so intuitive and well-crafted. The fact that, while playing through the adventure, we also got to learn about this special Alaskan Native community, made it even more special. I also just absolutely loved the art style in Never Alone, especially the environments, and I am so glad that ID@Xbox enabled us to discover this game. Playing this little gem will remain a fond holiday memory for my son and I.

I’ve enjoyed many incredible ID@Xbox games over the years but my favorite moment is quite a recent one while browsing the what’s new in Xbox Game Pass section there was a game called Manual Samuel. I hadn’t heard of it but was drawn to the art of a cartoon death holding a puppet and then spent the next few hours being pulled out of my gaming comfort zone doing what appeared to be normal everyday tasks; without spoiling the plot which everyone should experience spoiler free it made me smile throughout and laugh at some of the dialog and the crazy moments that poor Samuel had to navigate with appropriate well deserved achievements awarded throughout including probably the craziest driving achievement I have ever earned ? A really funny, enjoyable and unique little adventure.

The timer ends, you see the results, and my daughters jump up and cheer “We did it!” We have come together as a family and defeated the unbread. That’s my favorite ID@Xbox moment. My family loves playing games together and Overcooked 2 provides a great level of challenge but when we work together we can always be successful. Each level starts with us coming up with a plan and then the chaos ensues. The game has become an almost nightly ritual for us before bed and I love that we can have that moment of success that unites us as a family.

I may not recall my daughter’s first word, or exactly when she took her first steps. Should we have saved a lock of hair from her first haircut? Yet I vividly remember her first Minecraft world, I showed her how to record her first PotG in Overwatch, and was sitting right next to her during her first Fortnite Victory Royale – the culmination of a carefully laid game education curriculum that began with… Chariot. Yes, Frima Games’ platformer has players dragging a king’s coffin to a more luxurious burial site to placate his demanding spirit (who berates you on your journey), but it’s colorful, kid-friendly, and teaches the mechanics of platforming and cooperative play. More importantly, it sparked a love of gaming and a father-daughter bonding activity that continues to this day. And that’s better than a pair of bronzed baby shoes any day.

The day I got married is one of the greatest days of my life. I am, of course, talking about Stardew Valley. My real wedding was pretty good too, I guess. But in Stardew Valley, getting married felt like the culmination of months of hard work and careful relationship building as I carved out my new life on the farm. It felt like acceptance.

That’s the funny thing about Stardew Valley – it starts out like a nice mash-up of Harvest Moon, Animal Crossing, and even Minecraft. But soon enough the rhythms of it – tending your crops, selling your goods, making new friends, exploring the town, the seasons rolling in and out – they get inside you. You feel part of something special. And for me, that experience was one of the most relaxing and fulfilling I’ve ever had in a video game. Stardew Valley became my happy place (I still have a map of the town next to my desk at work and I gaze longingly at it during stressful conference calls). Getting married made it even happier.

Oh, yeah. I got married to Leah. Obviously.

Will Tuttle – Editor in Chief of Xbox Wire

I’m a sucker for a great narrative and ID@Xbox has no shortage of amazing narrative-driven games, from the haunting family drama of the excellent What Remains of Edith Finch to the sci-fi horror of Soma. The best of these combine a compelling narrative with unique simple-but-complex gameplay. One of my favorite games of this generation, Thomas Was Alone by Bithell Games, is a pitch-perfect example of that intoxicating blend. At first glance, the game looks like a straightforward, minimalistic platformer starring a group of quadrilateral shapes, but it quickly becomes clear that it’s much more.

Thanks to top-notch writing and some truly wonderful narration by British humorist Danny Wallace (who won a BAFTA for his performance), those little blocks become Thomas, Claire, Chris, John, and Laura. By combining those beautifully humanized shapes with some good old-fashioned puzzle platforming, Thomas Was Alone helped to push the medium forward in unexpectedly new ways.

Larry Hryb – Xbox Live’s Major Nelson and Inside Xbox Host

As a fan of film, music and obviously video games, I’ve long had an appreciation for content created and produced by independent studios. So, when I heard the ID@Xbox team was celebrating the release of their 1,000th indie title, I naturally considered some of my favorites and it was impossible not to think about Cuphead.

Cuphead is an absolute gem, featuring beautifully crafted visuals reminiscent of sound cartoons from the golden age of animation. The soundtrack is easily some of the best music you will hear in a video game, composed using live musicians playing jazz, early big band, and ragtime music, a favorite genre of mine. But Cuphead doesn’t just look and sound great, it plays great too. My colleagues may heckle me a bit as I praise Cuphead’s gameplay since I am admittedly “challenged” by some of the levels, but the game is just so much fun to play.

As great as Cuphead is though, the real magic of the game is with the number of subtle references (some might even call them Easter Eggs) seamlessly interwoven into the game. I heard mention of a Street Fighter reference when you battle the frogs Ribby and Croaks, and when I encountered that particular scene, it indeed appeared to be a clear tribute to Street Fighter.

Sure, there are the more obvious ones, like a building in the background named after the developers or the name of their studio appearing in different places. But when you dig a little deeper, you’ll discover a seemingly unending link to other cartoon characters, video games and real people including actors, musicians, artists, and cartoonists. It’s fascinating as you play the game when you recognize one of these subtle links and even more fascinating to think of all the hidden connections yet to be discovered.

We’re starting our world tour of the eight maps available in Battlefield V at launch with a detailed look at the first four. From close-quarters urban warfare to expansive vehicle-focused combat, the maps set in Holland (Rotterdam and Devastation) and North Africa (Hamada and Aerodrome) offer players a wide range of experiences. Make sure your passport’s up to date, then get ready to start your tour of some of the unseen battlefields of WWII you’ll be facing by getting some advanced intel below before you jump into battle.

Welcome to Devastation

Our second Dutch map is Devastation, the charred remains of another section of Rotterdam that’s already fallen to Axis bombardment. You won’t need to look hard for cover, pieces of this formerly picturesque part of the city are scattered literally everywhere among the few still-standing structures. Of course, cover for you also means cover for your enemies so you’ll need to keep your wits about you to survive.

Five Capture Points

On this map, you’ll also need to capture five different points, each represented by a flag. Flag A can be found at the Train Wreck, where the overturned platforms make for great elevated positions and the perfect location to stage your attack on Flag C. Flag B is the Library, one of the still (mostly) standing structures in this area of the city. The three remaining floors make for great hiding and ambush positions.

The great looming Cathedral is Flag C and one of the most contentious areas on the entire map. Every other capture point can be reached from this central location so if you’re looking for a sure-fire fight, this is the place to find it. Flag D is located at the Cinema; just look for the neon lights to guide you to this former dream palace and attack point for both Flags A and C.

And finally, Flag E is the Old Mall. The only exchanges going on here now are whizzing bullets between soldiers, especially those holding overlooking positions in the Cathedral.

Welcome to Rotterdam

Let’s start in Holland, with the Rotterdam map. This once-charming port city has seen better days, and while most of the major buildings are still intact we wouldn’t recommend casually taking in the sites. Vehicles patrol the major thoroughfares looking for anyone unlucky or unwary enough to use the ample cover. And there are always eyes in the sky thanks to the elevated railway.

Five Capture Points

You’ll need to work with your team and squad to capture five different points on this map, all represented by flags. Flag A is the Train Station Beurs and consists of wide streets and little cover making this one of the more exposed flags. Send in your Support players to build Fortifications if you want to hold it. Flag B can be found at the White House, a fantastic central point to hold and a perfect spot to fend off attackers from Flag D. But make sure you post someone to cover the maze of alleys out back.

The Courtyard houses Flag C, where nearly every approach can be easily blocked by Fortifications, but it really only seems impenetrable and can leave defenders cornered with nowhere to go. The Ruins at Flag D show you one of the areas of Rotterdam that has already succumbed to the destructive power of two clashing armies. This mangled, rubble-filled space is also one of the smallest and trickiest capture points.

And finally, Flag E, the Willemsbridge, is a two-level capture point and also closest to where the Axis forces will be spawning, so skirmishes here are all but a given.

Welcome to Hamada

We’ll start this tour of North Africa in Hamada, one of the largest maps in Battlefield history. This desolate, sprawling landscape lies dotted with rubble, ancient ruins, and whatever sparse desert plants can manage to hold on. One of the few remaining man-made structures still standing is a massive bridge spanning a mostly dry ravine. Tanks prowl these wastes from below while fighters rumble through clear blue skies above. Death comes in many forms under the unforgiving desert sun of Hamada.

Seven Capture Points

On this map, there are even more flags — be prepared by learning more about each. Surrounded by low cliffs and very little cover is the Ridge Nest and Flag A. Close to Allied HQ, this point can be held, even against vehicle attack, with sufficient Fortifications and making use of nearby Supply Stations. Flag B is the Artillery Camp, a multi-level area with elevations perfect for infantry defensive positions.

The Oasis at Flag C is difficult to access via vehicle and provides plenty of cover and high ground for infantry attacks. Flag D can be found at the Bridge Camp and is an essential position for taking (and holding) the bridge to the ruins. It also grants your team an extra tank. Flag E can be found at the Desert Ruins, with enough standing architecture remaining to make anyone in a vehicle think twice about approaching. If you’re looking for a great place to ambush the enemy, these ruins are ideal.

Flag F is the Temple, an ancient place of worship now a deadly trap for both vehicles and infantry alike. If we had a single piece of advice for this point it’s “Look up.” Finally, Flag G is located at the Peak Camp. This Axis stronghold features its own airstrip and offers those who can hold it an extra aircraft.

Welcome to Aerodrome

The second map, Aerodrome features the smoldering remains of an Axis airfield and hanger in the vast wastes of the North African desert. Smoke and wind-blown sand hang heavily over an area now littered with crates, abandoned vehicles, and aircraft. Not as large or sprawling as Hamada, this map is more condensed and fiercely contested. You won’t have to travel far to find your next fight on Aerodrome.

Six Capture Points

Let’s jump into the areas you’ll need to take and hold on this map. We’ll start with Flag A, the Depot, where Allied forces will generally begin their attacks. Taking this flag gives you access to an incredible vantage spot atop the tower, with great views of many other capture points. Flag B, the Checkpoint, offers players some actual high ground on the Overlook, and a great place to dig in with a trench by the eastern barracks.

Flag C consists of the Aerodrome itself. The centrally-located hangar, filled with Stuka and Ju 88 fighters, is going to be very popular with both teams. Hold it and you’ll have an extremely handy spawn point for future incursions. The Barracks at Flag D is a great place to stage attacks on several nearby capture points or fix up your tank at the handy Vehicle Supply Station.

Flag E is located at the Hangars and is close to the Axis HQ. Already heavily hit by Allied bombing runs, this area is littered with debris, but offers plenty of cover. Flag F is the Radar tower, located on one of the most elevated points on the map. While exposed to snipers from the Overlook, the ridge and Radar tower offer you more than a fighting chance.

Remember, Battlefield V is still in development and all game features may be subject to change. Battlefield V is now available for pre-order on the Microsoft Store. Stay tuned to Xbox Wire for the latest news and information for all things Xbox.

Team Xbox Q&A: Harrison, from the Xbox Console Experiences Team
Celebrate Día de los Muertos with Forza Horizon 4
Xbox and Fallout 76 Partnering with the Philadelphia 76ers

Powered by WPeMatico

Dia de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, is a global holiday that originated in Mexico where friends and family gather to celebrate the lives of their loved ones and to support their spiritual journeys.

To pay tribute to the holiday, the Forza Horizon 4 team partnered with three artists, Sam Rodriguez, Juan Puente, and Axis, to share their unique interpretations and to help bring their art to life in-game. Below, learn more about each artist’s creation, their gaming connection, and how you can also celebrate the holiday by downloading new in-game content now available through November 8^th.

Sam Rodriguez

“Day of The Dead is a celebration of a person’s life and identity. For this piece I wanted to celebrate the various influences of my own art which include graffiti, gaming, and Aztec images. I chose to illustrate a contemporary urban/hip-hop character with these styles so that the piece could feel like an update of our tradition. The mixing of these styles demonstrates who I am as a person. Over the Calaka’s (Skull’s) eyes reads, ‘Vida’ or ‘Life’ because the holiday is about celebrating the lives of our loved ones and accepting death as a natural and necessary life cycle.

One out of a few of my favorite things to celebrate would be gaming. I am an 80’s baby who experienced the evolution of video games. I grew up playing at arcades, laundromats, liquor stores, and home consoles and still look forward to having sessions after work! Aside from the fun I have playing, gaming provides so much visual inspiration and are in my opinion the masterpieces of our time.”

Juan Puente

“Being born in Mexico, day of the dead art and lore has always been around in one form or another. Being an artist for almost 3 decades has allowed me to create many versions of famous day of the dead images. When Xbox and the Forza team approached me to do some art for them I already had an idea in mind.

My wife 20 years ago got me into gaming and it’s been integrated into our family for quite some time. We don’t really watch much tv, but the family will get together to play when we have a free moment.”

Axis

“I was introduced to Day of the Dead, when I was a kid, through one of my teachers. I was already drawing skulls, but when I found out there was a holiday that used them as decorations, I was blown away. My piece celebrates life and death and the banner in my piece is Latin, which loosely translates to “Slow Death”.

I’ve been playing video games since 1978. I had the Odyssey 2 System, and my neighbor got the Atari 2600 soon after. I think back then I played every single game at least once, both on home systems and in arcades. To this day I often wonder how many quarters I spent from the summer of ’81 to the end of ’85.”

To get the Dia de los Muertos inspired Forza Horizon 4 content for yourself, simply follow the steps below through midnight on November 8^th:

1. Complete Autumn #Forzathon Challenges
