Tarps

Glad to see that the internet freaked out over nothing for an entire week. People reeeeeeaally just need to chill out and not make news out of nothing.

@TownYsend no joke I was coming to the comments to type this out exactly. When EA Play was added to Ultimate, my wife and I played A Way Out and absolutely loved it...and now we are looking forward to buying his next game this year.

...seems pretty straightforward to me.

Thats gonna be a pass from me then

Great quiz! Really well put together.

I have no idea if the original Dead Rising holds up but I have GREAT memories playing that back in the day, looking forward to giving it another shot

Will (hopefully) be voting for Cyberpunk next year after it has been optimized for Series X

Personally I'm hoping for a mix between Mirrors Edge and Titanfall 2 as far as a fluid movement spy shooter thing

Got it pre ordered but might wait for some more patches before playing. I'm not like some of these alarmists freaking out online, but I wouldn't mind more stability and bug patches.

I don't think I'm gonna wait for the next gen patch, I'm not THAT patient lol. But also I still have Valhalla and Control to finish, want to play Call of the Sea.

Realistic Expectations:
-More gamepass announcements
-Release dates for Psycbonauts 2 and Flight Sim
-Hivebusters DLC trailer

Unrealistic Expectations:
-Either Everwild or Hellblade are shown with a 2021 tag

The "please please please" category:
-The Initiative game (Perfect Dark) teaser

Game Pass: best deal in gaming

Games With Gold: lolololololol

Game Pass Ultimate: I don't even think of this as Game Pass + Gold. I honestly think about this as Game Pass + Cloud Gaming + EA Play + Those Random Perks. That's the value I'm getting out of it.

Picked up both Tomb Raider and Rise of Tomb Raider for a total of $9.00! Never played them before and Tomb Raider is really good so far.

Gonna be playing Valhalla first, but also will be checking out the upgrades to Gears 5 and Forza Horizon 4. And Terri's Effect!

BRUTAL LEGEND for the first time and it is awesome

AWESOME. Never played Brutal Legend but have really wanted to do my Double Fine "homework"

@Menchi all 4 are Xbox + PC. As Xbox gamers, we are accustomed to "exclusive" meaning "Xbox + PC"

Really wanting more info on the launch of The Medium, The Ascent, Call of the Sea, and Scorn. All four were big parts of the May showcase, all are exclusive. On one hand they would make for a good launch lineup, on the other hand 2021 is looking pretty barren and would be good to have consistent Game Pass content throughout the year.

Pro tip for everybody:

For any of the quests where you just have to open the game, xCloud/Streaming satisfies the requirements.

I really didn't want to download all of Sea of Thieves just to open it once, but pulled out the phone and got the points in seconds 😎👍

@VenomousAlbino hoping there are different options. I'll choose frames over resolution.

AC Valhalla at 4K 60. As a console gamer I've never played an open world game at 60 so looking forward to it 👍

Honestly I don't see the need/desire to have Bungie be an Xbox Game Studio. They do Destiny, which is great for them....but it's already in Game Pass and would probably remain multiplatform.

Looking pretty tight!

Kinda neutral on achievements to be honest. But I love how they are integrated into the Microsoft Rewards stuff. At that point, they are paying me money to go play and game hunt for achievements which has actually been an awesome experience.

Playing this bad boy on day 1 Series X. Looking like Halo will have to wait a bit hmmmmm...

Doom Eternal and Ori are absolutely incredible. I also beat Perfect Dark for the first time 👍

The big question is 2021 or 2022. If its 2022 guessing we won't see it in July but who knows.

NNNNNNNNNOPE.

Phil needs to get the checkbook out and lock this down as an Xbox exclusive asap

Interestingly enough, I'm having a hard time thinking of the 3rd Party games for next week's show. I am REALLY looking for the heavy hitters from first party.

Would be cool if they announced the enhanced version of Doom Eternal though (provided through Smart Delivery of course)

Game Pass brought me back into the Xbox ecosystem. I'm a gamer on a budget and the value is just too damn good. Game Pass + the first party expansion = good times ahead

Wow! Good on Xbox for getting these awesome deals!

@FraserG fair enough yeah I guess XO19 was still only focused on Xbox One games

Everwild? The new Rare IP?

Doom Eternal! About 2 hours in and it is absolutely bonkers. They took everything from Doom 2016 and cranked it up to 666.
