Another next gen launch, another amazing launch line up. ::)They should just not bother with their launch this year. They don't even have a new Forza as a graphics showcase, something they managed to do for the Xbox One X.
So far we got... a Spiderman expansion and? Unless that's also cross gen?
Although it's clearly the best choice, given the state of the game.
Is audio still fundamentally broken on PC? lol
Look, I would love a fucking awesome Halo game. If it takes them delaying it to 2021 to deliver that, good.It'd probably take them delaying to 2025. :thinking
Satella not putting his foot in Spencer's ass, that's what.
Careful! You'll get labeled a console warrior!
Sorry you have bad taste man

I can take advantage of gamepass just fine on my xbox one.

They did... over a decade ago. It was called Viva Pinata.
I half suspect 5 years from now MS will be selling / killing off Xbox personally.
But they don't need current Xbox owners to upgrade.. so you have to think about people currently outside the ecosystem to see their plan for success. Granted not having Halo Infinite to sell them sucks, but a lot of these people never played the latest Gears/Forza/whatever, and want a cheap way to check out 3rd party games on Gamepass too.

Spencer's been saying "we're heavily investing in 1st party" for like what, 6 years now?
They ended up buying a bunch of C-tier studios last year, that they'll no doubt run into the ground. It's quite amazing.
I actually liked 5. But it was very "by the numbers."
The major problem for MS is that they only have 3 (well 4 but one of which is part of another) IP's: Halo, Gears, and Forza (Horizon). Their other stuff like Fusion Frenzy or Wacked! (lol at that last one) never get sequels or get an announcement of one and gets cancelled (Phantom Dust).
Sony isn't swimming in IP either. Unsharted, God of Bore, Last of Puss, Ratchet? What else? Spoider-Man?
I can't decide which 1st party I hate more, honestly.
How the fuck is Psychonauts 2 not out yet?Tim Schafer.
Does really anyone care about Halo in 2020, after every non Bungie game was a major disappointment?
I think i'm just really done with games that have such a heavy focus on narrative. Its usually pretty awful and aggravating.
Just... more Viva Pinata. PLEASE.
It’s crazy there’s no forza 8 for series x release, wtf have turn 10 being doing for the last 3-4 years :lol :yeshrug
Look, I would love a fucking awesome Halo game. But Bungie's not involved anymore so it's not happening.:teehee
Weird Sony was the best with titles like Tokyo Jungle. Now it's all sad dad walking sims :walkaway

Love me some Forza and Forza Horizon though, especially since Polyphony can't release one full fledged GT in an entire console cycle and Driveclub, which I liked, bombed and was immediately buried as an IP.
Fable looking like it hasn't even really begun development:Tom from Eurogamer said it best

Not abnormal to have more than one "lead", but they are looking for both a Chief Enginner and a Co-Chief Engineer for Fable, and the ads talk about getting into the project early on.

To be honest, I'm happy about this. It was clear that they didn't have a chance to make it a truly next-gen upgrade by launch but it was the first Halo in a long while that seems to nail the gameplay, art, and world-building. Hopefully it revives the MP community as Halo was one of the most competitive yet not-super-toxic MP communities I've ever seen. Those clans would ban teabaggers in the game that invented it.I half suspect 5 years from now MS will be selling / killing off Xbox personally.

I don't see them killing off xbox unless the whole world converts to playing on an Azure server, which would be ridiculous. And this surprised the hell out of me but the only semi-exclusive game that I can see being a system seller is Roblox. That game/platform is HUGE with young gamers and for some reason Sony won't open up their cross-play policy to allow it on their system.
There's no other game I can think of that is that popular and provides enough content to be the primary reason somebody buys new hardware. But of course it has potato graphics so you don't need to run it on a next-gen console.
that game is a big steaming turd anyway who gives a fuck :trumpsControl was last year's GOTY, fool.
Next gen gets better and better

Microsoft saying: "You will get your remastered games free!" always seemed a bit strange to me.
They never said this.
I hated every Remedy game post Max Payne 2 (this includes Alan Wake, despite being a Lynch fanboy).that game is a big steaming turd anyway who gives a fuck :trumpsControl was last year's GOTY, fool.
Control has all the ingredients of a great game but gave me next to no enjoyment. Remedy makes fun and serviceable games, but besides Max Payne, I've never enjoyed their storytelling.

I went into Control with very low expectations, aside from it looking very good, but in the end i loved pretty much everything about it.
It could've used a bit more polish in some design aspects (difficulty curve is off, the bosses mostly suck, some visual elements are hard to read, and the checkpoint system is dog shit) but i loved the world, the visual design, and the gameplay was the most fun i've had with a 3rd person shooter since... well, Max Payne 2.
Although 90% of the quality in the writing department was merely for the world building, because the main plot itself was kind of whatever and ended abruptly, but you could say a similar thing for Witcher 3, for example.

Buying launch consoles that have a high failure rate. :donot
dark1x always seems so chill in videos, like a balanced good dude who enjoys his work, then his posts and social media and shit are borderline apocalyptic.

Xbone S/XDon't worry, the game boxes say: "XBOX" and "SMART DELIVERY"
Xbone Series S/X
I'm sure no one will get confused. Worked out real smooth with the WiiU after all.
I own the Control base game and Season Pass. Is this not the same as Control Ultimate Edition?:gaas
The objective of Control Ultimate Edition was not to release new exclusive content on the next gen platforms, but to offer the full Control gameplay experience to new Control players in a single, easy-to-find product. The PlayStation 5/Xbox Series X versions of Control contain the same content as the current gen game, though they do take full advantage of the power and features provided by these new consoles.
The upgrade path that we are offering is only possible when upgrading from the same version of the game. As we are only doing additional development on Control Ultimate Edition on the next gen platforms, we are unfortunately unable to offer an upgrade path to all existing Control players. We understand how this might upset a number of players but you will still be able to play the 2019 edition of Control and each Expansion on the new platforms.

But doesn’t the series s play all the Xbox one games and also the new ones?To be quite honest, I'm already confused... Which one's supposed to be the "nex genz" one??
Biggest thing they need to avoid is making damn sure that both aren’t on the shelf at the same time so grandma doesn’t buy Noah a one s for Christmas when he wanted a series s.
The rumour I think is that series s is just the series X with a cut down GPU that is more like “same graphics settings at 1080P instead of 4K” but it hasn’t been officially announced, so who knows really
I read it runs at less than 4TF, which would mean it is slower than Xbox One X(6TF). But also this won't hold back next-gen in any way according to the Microbots(?)The rumour I think is that series s is just the series X with a cut down GPU that is more like “same graphics settings at 1080P instead of 4K” but it hasn’t been officially announced, so who knows really
Yeah, less GPU and RAM, same CPU, so basically having 3 times less graphics power but aiming for 4 times lower resolution. I think the Switch is proof that most people don't care or can live without high resolution. The only thing that matters is who gets to $300 first.

From what I've heard it's also unlikely to ship this year, globally at least. I've got no clue what MS is doing and these rumors aren't helping.
Also having 343i people come out and post Star Wars The Last Jedi gifs or community manager posts on Reddit to debunk rumors that Phil admitted to in his chat with Gary Whitta in Animal Crossing doesn't help to clear things up.

So why can't people who have the digital deluxe/game+season pass not just be upgraded to the Ultimate Edition? :doge
They brought Joseph Staten on board to try and salvage this mess. :lol
They made a big deal out of it in their PR and some other guy was put in charge of the Free to play multiplayer.They brought Joseph Staten on board to try and salvage this mess. :lol
Looking at his twitter feed, he's been all over MS studios. So I'm thinking this is more consulting (despite the "foodnipple" tweet) than anything.
