Gameplay for games a year or two away is nice, I guess... until they get delayed and are still shabby a launch like Halo..
All these studios and we have a drier year than 2017. Pretty bad when you think about it. If you count season 3 release for Halo and assume Forza releases this holiday, we're getting Forza>Halo>Forza>Halo. What diversity!
Big news, but not unexpected. I think it’ll be hard to sustain a large MP base without f2p these days. Too many good f2p options that people would play instead.
Tough situation to be sure. Everyone is working from home for the foreseeable future. It has to launch fully featured and bug free or the backlash will be merciless. A staggered rollout could be a good option, but is unacceptable for a franchise like Halo.
Looked amazing for an open world game running at 4K/60fps. I loved the clean, more classic art style. The gameplay looked fun and fluid. Tons of guns to pick up on the fly. The grapple hook looks awesome to use.
I was encouraged by the very small sample we got today. Open world Halo is a thing now and it makes a lot of sense. Can’t wait to see how it plays on the Series X this Holiday!
So people that bought the original SLT were basically beta testers that financed the actual, complete version and they don’t even get the game! That’s pretty messed up in my opinion.
As if I couldn’t love Phil any more lol! The smug superiority of a lot of Sony fans is indeed tiresome. They never miss an opportunity to spread FUD about anything Xbox, even with clear pro consumer moves like the ones Xbox is making. The goal posts are always moving to suit them. They care more about being in an exclusive club than video games.
They’ve only said they’ll support Xbox One for the next year, maybe two. That’s it. Yet somehow this is going to hold back next gen? Laughable. If a game has the ability to work on Xbox One, why deny gamers that don’t necessarily have access to the latest hardware for a certain amount of time? Games rarely take full advantage of new hardware for the first couple years anyways.
If you’d have told me in early 2014 that the Xbox One would surpass 50m sales, I would have laughed. It’s not a juggernaut by any means, but Phil has done so much good and really turned the brand around. Xbox’s brightest days are ahead.
@KelticDevil They probably don’t want this gen to end given the success they’ve enjoyed. At least one of the big 3 seems to be rejected every time we move on to a new console gen.
My GP sub expires on the 26th. I’m looking for deals to renew it. I was late on the Newegg deal 😔 If I cant find anything I’ll go month to month. It’s worth it.
Crytek probably doesn’t want their name associated with console warring and flat out lies. Given the specs, I find it hard to believe the PS5 has many, if any, benefits over the Series X.

Re: Platinum Tells Fans To Send Phil Spencer A Letter If They Want To See Microsoft's Scalebound IP Revived
Just let it go already. They both blew it. Move on.
Re: It's Official! Halo Infinite's Multiplayer Will Be Free-To-Play, Support 120FPS

Re: Here Are Your Xbox Games With Gold For August 2020
Override looks cool and I’ll definitely add that. Didn’t they do Portal Knights not long ago? Red Faction 2 is good as well.
Re: Rumour: Multiplayer Might Not Ship With Halo Infinite At Launch
Tough situation to be sure. Everyone is working from home for the foreseeable future. It has to launch fully featured and bug free or the backlash will be merciless. A staggered rollout could be a good option, but is unacceptable for a franchise like Halo.
Edit: Good news!
Re: Microsoft Responds To Negative Feedback For Halo Infinite's Visuals

Re: Poll: Has July's Xbox Showcase Changed Your Mind On Xbox Series X?
I was always getting and Series X at launch and I still am. Loved the show today and Xbox will have many great games for years to come.

Re: Dev Suggests Xbox 'Cares More About 120FPS Than Sony Does'
Here I thought the Series X’s inferior SSD and Xbox’s cross gen approach would hold back devs 🤔
Re: Here's The Official Box Art For Halo Infinite
Looks amazing. Let’s go!
Re: Xbox Content & Services Revenue Up 65% In Microsoft Q4 Results
Great news for Xbox. Gaming is doing well across the board. The big three are cleaning up! 💪
Re: Rumour: Halo Infinite's Multiplayer Could Be Free-To-Play
That’s the way multiplayer is trending. Why pay when you can play a dozen high quality MP games for free. I love Apex, myself.
It’s a great move for Halo and will keep the player base healthy. That’s the most important thing.
Re: Talking Point: Give Us Your Wildest Hopes For This Week's Xbox Showcase
Crimson Skies reboot with third person sections. Customizable planes. Cinematic single player campaign.
Mech Assault 3/reboot. Arcade mech action. First and third person perspective. Fun, diverse single player campaign.
Panzer Dragoon RPG. Mistwalker collabs with Sega to bring a new epic dragon riding jrpg to Series X and One.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (July 18th)
Playing through all the Gears games coop with the wife. Just started Gears 5 tonight for the first time. On Act 1 chapter 4.
So far it’s definitely exceeded my expectations. I really liked 4, but 5 is knocking it out of the park. Can’t wait to play more.

Re: Microsoft Reveals 8 More Games Coming To Xbox Game Pass In July
The Touryst? Nice get. Didn’t know that wasn’t staying exclusive to Switch.
Played the Insider Grounded beta and it’s fantastic.

Re: Poll: Which Box Art Do You Prefer, Xbox Series X Or PS5?
Has Xbox confirmed that these are the cases?
Re: Phil Spencer: We're Always In The Market For New Xbox Game Studios
Definitely good news for Xbox fans. Game Pass continues to roll and XGS is killing it on Steam. Success will push studio expansion and acquisition.
Re: Pick One: Which Of These Xbox Games Are You Most Excited For?
Cyberpunk. Cmon now.
Squadrons does look cool tho
Re: Talking Point: What Do You Want To See From Xbox Game Studios In July?
I just want to see great games with a heavy focus on single player. Gameplay would be nice too!
Re: Rumour: July's Xbox Series X Event Will 'Absolutely Bring The Heat'
Can’t wait. It’s going to put Sony’s show to shame.
Re: Remedy Announces Control Is Heading To Xbox Series X
@ThePrettySenshi The DLC was timed for PS4, but it will release for Xbox later this month.
This better be smart delivery. PC players get the enhancements right now for the same $60.
Re: Poll: Which Design Do You Prefer? Xbox Series X Or PS5?
The Series X is timeless. Praise the monolith!
Re: Xbox Boss: "Our Strategy Is Centred Around The Player, Not The Device"
@KelticDevil Sony fans probably can’t wait to pay for The Last of Us 2 “remastered”. Only On PS5 (tm) 😂
Re: Microsoft Hints At Potential For More Xbox And Xbox 360 Backwards Compatible Games
Give me Jet Set Radio Future you cowards!
Re: Xbox Head Phil Spencer: We Were In A Tough Spot Six Years Ago

Re: Don't Worry, The Samurai Shodown Neo Geo Collection Is Coming To Xbox As Well
Great news. An odd omission there to be sure.
Re: Here Are Your Xbox Games With Gold For June 2020
Great month for me! I’m interested in all 4, especially Destroy All Humans and Sine Mora.
Re: Space Combat Shooter Chorus Is Being 'Pushed To The Limit' On Xbox Series X
Highlight of the show for me. Gorgeous. I love art style. Can’t wait to play it!
Re: Poll: What's Your Favourite Halo Game Released To Date?
I love them all, but I have heavy nostalgia for CE. Certainly the best to me.
Re: Streets Of Rage 4 Coming To Xbox One, Xbox Game Pass Later This Month
Nice! Will be playing on Game Pass!
Re: Xbox Sales And Subscriptions Are Spiking Right Now, Reveals Xbox Boss
@BlueOcean Good lookin out! Forgot Amazon was doing it too!
Re: Xbox Series X Version Of Cyberpunk 2077 Arriving Post-Launch, Not Yet Confirmed For PS5
@KelticDevil They probably don’t want this gen to end given the success they’ve enjoyed. At least one of the big 3 seems to be rejected every time we move on to a new console gen.
I’ll be playing Cyberpunk on my One X!
Re: Xbox Sales And Subscriptions Are Spiking Right Now, Reveals Xbox Boss
My GP sub expires on the 26th. I’m looking for deals to renew it. I was late on the Newegg deal 😔 If I cant find anything I’ll go month to month. It’s worth it.
Re: Random: Lots Of People Are Noticing Slow Download Speeds On Xbox Live
Actually my download speeds have been faster than usual. Not sure why. Journey to the savage planet took like 10 minutes.
Re: Industry Insider Hints At The Type Of Games Coming To Xbox Series X
Can’t wait to see it.
Re: Microsoft Explains How External Storage Will Work On Xbox Series X
I will probably keep managing my storage like I do now. I’m just honest about what I will play soon and uninstall things I know I won’t.
Re: Poll: Which Controller Do You Prefer? Xbox Series X Or PS5?
Xbox. The new dpad looks legit great. If we can get gyro, that’s just icing on the cake.
Why change the design of the best controller in gaming?
Re: Respawn Says Solos In Apex Legends "Negatively Impacted The Game"
I don’t really want duos, but whatever. Apex is great as trios. It’s not hard to see how solos would ruin the game in a lot of fundamental ways.
There are plenty of other multiplayer/BR games for people that want solos. Not every game can be all things to all people.
Re: Obsidian's Grounded Is Coming To Xbox Game Preview In July, See The Trailer Here
I love how this is shaping up. Looking better and better every time they show it.
I’ll definitely be giving it a try
Re: Crytek Engineer Who Praised PS5 Over Xbox Series X Retracts Statements
Crytek probably doesn’t want their name associated with console warring and flat out lies. Given the specs, I find it hard to believe the PS5 has many, if any, benefits over the Series X.
Re: Microsoft Suggests All Xbox Events Will Be Digital-First For The Next Year
Good. Welp, might as well spill the beans on the Series X. Cmon Phil, you know you want to 😉
Re: The Original Design Of The Xbox One Was Rushed, Admits Xbox Boss
I waited until the One S revision. The S and X are beautiful consoles.
Re: A Remastered Version Of Saints Row: The Third Has Been Rated By The ESRB
Playing this on 360 on highest difficulty was hilarious to watch due to the glitching. It was also impossible to play.
Hope they sorted that out 😂
Re: Xbox Boss Explains Why There Was Never A Sunset Overdrive 2
I really loved both, but Ryse in particular would have benefited from a good sequel.
Re: Wasteland 3 Delayed, Team Facing "Logistical Challenges" Due To Coronavirus
They should take all the time they need to stay safe and make it great. We have plenty to play in the meantime!
