oh, wow. yeah, that is kind of weird that the presentation didn't say that. Kind of makes me want to support the games more though, knowing that they trust Xbox and want to support Xbox gamers that they're willing to go exclusive even if it is only a limited time.

Or MS paid them more money, lol. But I'm going to pretend they just like us.

@KelticDevil This is really an Xbox exclusive? I thought everything shown here was coming out for both.

But either way, I could really do with more silent hil-esque scariness and having Akira Yamaoka is icing on the cake.
( ^_^)

Very looking forward to this. It looks like a mix of God Eater/Astral Chain with some Shin Megami thrown in.
This will probably be a day one for me. More JRPG! That's my motto!

@BlueOcean
OMG!! I would love that!
*weeps with joy

@gingataisen
lol. It wasn't that bad. I had a lot of fun watching it too, and that's with many of the games (shooting, cars) not being genres I'm interested in at all.

@Alpha-2002
Thank you!! I'm starting to download it right now.

I see Square Enix!!
( O.O)

Really really excited for Xbox X. Their next game reveal video seems so far away.

thats... gameplay?

the more I hear about the Yakuza series the more I want to give it a try. There's two of them on Gamepass but I don't know which one to play first. lol

I really enjoyed this small presentation. I hadn't heard of any of the games so it was pretty fun going through and seeing what the future was going to be like.

the Medium and Chorvs are my favorite out of the reveals, but I'm also looking forward to Call of the Sea and Scarlet Nexus.
( ^_^)

oooh nice! It's simple and sexy.

Huh, I guess Sea of Thieves did well enough for SaaS type games to be their model going forward.

I'm kind of torn. On one hand the game looks gorgeous, but on the other, it feels like unless I'm there from the start, every update is going to make the game feel less and less accessible as a jumping in point.
Also, I have my doubts that a SaaS game can deliver a good story, even if it offers occasionally "memorable, engaging and meaninful experiences."

Baby Yoda too?
( o.o)

Boooo! Not enough Reylo. ( -_-)

But it's a pretty promising cover. lol. Now we need to see some more trailers and I'll be sold. Lego Harry Potter is such a fun game, I hope they put the same kind of quality into this one.

Mine is Star Wars Kinghts of the Old Republic. lol. I've only played like 3 Star Wars games though so it's not like I'm a SW connoisseur.

Eventually I want to get Fallen Order. Everything about the game (except that EA made it) looks amazing!

It looks... ok. I would rather play something like Lord of the Rings: Eowyn or something like that.

I was a little disappointed but looking up stuff on warhammer we're not stuck playing as that creepy looking buff guy, so that one could be fun to try out.

I'm very confident!! Phil Spencer and his team have really turned things around. Compatibility with four generations of xbox games, a large collection of studios ready to make new games (omg Hellblade!!), and what seems like the largest support Xbox has ever had from Japan (not the greatest, but Square Enix has been treating us well), I'm ready for next gen. ( ^_^)

Poor guy. But I mean, I can kind of understand why that ship has sailed. 343i wants to keep pushing what they can do with Halo, but as long as they keep looking towards the past, or bringing back Bungie employees, they'll only be able to be Bungie 2.0.

Personally, seeing where Bungie eventually went, I'm happy 343i are not them. Although having some fan service in like say an anniversary soundtrack by Marty O'Donnel would be a nice way of paying respect to the Halo legacy.

Just having beat MGS V, I'm really wanting to play something stealth related. I feel like there's a really big hole in the industry with the stealth genre that Perfect Dark could fit... perfectly.

I mean, it's all there. I recently started playing the original on Xbox to get excited about any upcoming reveals. Most of the game is pretty much a shooter, but there are a few moments where it's all about sneaking or disguising yourself and infiltrating places. A pure stealth game could work and still be faithful to the spirit of the original game.

Please please please be a 3rd person stealth game.

smaller? so... cuter? if it had a disc drive I would buy Lockhart with no hesitation.

for a moment I thought the second one was a brute with Spartan armor and I got super excited. One of the elements I love about the Halo EU (although I've only read 3 books) is how the different races and humans are trying to live with each other despite so many prejudices after the collapse of the covenant.

I would like to own a few of these (like John and Cortana) but Mega Construx are so hard to find where I live.

I don't like any of these games either. ( x_x)

Buuuut... hmmmm... I guess riding skateboards and making friends doesn't sound too bad, so Tony Hawk would be my choice.

I like it. ( ^_^)

I wonder if they'll just call it X this gen, and it becomes the start of a numbering system. So next next gen will be X2, and then the X3, and X4 etc.

I don't know...
I'm going to get an Xbox because they've won me over with how much they are doing for gamers. But while I think Xbox will do better than this gen, Sony has such a huge presence that I just can't see PS5 falling from first or even being hurt very much.

I mean, correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Playstation 2 the weakest of the three consoles when it came out?

Ooooh, Prince of Persia (2008) is a really really good game. I hope more people get the chance to play it.

Personally though, I would also love Crash Bandicoot. I remember seeing my cousin play these games when I was very little. I'm interested in finally getting a chance for myself.

Halo 4!!! I love how it makes Cortana an actual character instead of a prop.
Also, Halo 4 is the only Halo game where Master Chief and Cortana's relationship is shown instead of implied imo. I mean there's some good scenes in the previous games, especially in 3, but I was surprised by how much the games left players to "fill in the blanks" in terms of character development and motivations.

Halo 4 gave me the Cortana/Chief story I thought all 4 games had. But I don't know, maybe I would have felt differently if I grew up with the series or read the books.

Halo 5 was ok, but it weirds me out how all the Spartans have giant heads in the cutscenes. lol. 4 had better proportions (and sexier Spartan suits).

OMG!!! I love pinapples on my pizza!
Thank you Master Chief!
( ^_^)/

At first I was kind of interested in Lockhart. But if the rumors are true and it doesn't have a disc drive then I don't see a reason to get it when so many of my games are physical. It kind of ruins the point of having backwards compatibility and being able to carry my collection into the next gen.
( T_T)

hasn't every console been sold at a loss during launch?

They didn't have an option that said "Do you use to cosplay (but don't anymore."

And also, I have no idea about the car questions but I answered them anyway. lol.

None of them look like the kind of games I would pick... but why not all of them!! The more the merrier!! ( ^_^)

ok, I guess if I had to pick one... maybe the Simpsons one?

Oh!!! I can't wait! ( ^_^)

I've been watching the Hellblade trailer over and over again, and I'm super excited for it. If that's just a small preview of the kind of games coming out next gen then I'm really hyped!
( O.O)

edit: Also, I believe that FF7 Remake is only a timed exclusive and will eventually come out on XBox X. I hope Xbox Lockhart gets a FF7 bundle. For... reasons.

I use a wired pink afterglow controller so batteries are kind of a non-issue, but I like having the option. And he brings up a lot of good points regarding sticking to batteries.

A bigger issue for me though is PS5's microphone. I've had fun using a mic before, but currently don't own one or want one because of the type of requests I get, when honestly, I don't want to talk to people but feel too awkward to say no. Some people can get really pushy and uncomfortable and if they know I have a microphone it makes it that much harder to get them to leave me alone.

I'm surprised this wasn't available before, tbh.
( o.o)

Lately I've noticed that Xbox has been doing a lot more to reach out to Japan and Japanese developers. Good on them. I hope it works out.

I can understand not fixing some bugs. Sometimes bugs add some of the personality in a game, as long as it's not game breaking.

But I love love love backwards compatibility. I've had a few of my gamer friends all tell me Xbox doesn't have any exclusives but I've never understood that argument. Don't get me wrong, there are some great games on PS4, but I just don't feel jealous when I'm able to play the Final Fantasy XIII trilogy, every single Metal Gear Solid game except for 1 and 4, Silent Hill 2 and 3, Mass Effect trilogy, Prince of Persia (2008), Alice Madness Returns and on and on. Games that are impossible to play on PS4. And for gamers who missed out on last gen classics it's so incredible being able to see where a series starts, or to see how a franchise develops. Those games aren't left to memories or lets play on youtube.

And with former exclusives coming to Xbox like Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy X or Nier Automata, I've never been happier with being a gamer, or have felt like becoming a fan of a series has been more accessible.

It's convinced me to get a Series X.

@mousieone
Final Fantasy XIII is such a great game!! lol, you can tell I'm biased.
( ^_^)

Xbox 1, with the Masterchief Collection. I'm an Xbox noob.
It actually went like this, my sister called and said she was going to buy a console but she wanted to know what I thought. But I missed her call. I got a short txt later that said "nvm, got an Xbox."

And the rest, as they say, is history. I remember being a little annoyed at first that she didn't get a PS4, but after realizing how huge the backwards compatible library is I fell in love with Xbox1. I've been able to play so many classic games, I literally have a backlog several years long and that doesn't even include current gen games. It's one of my favorite consoles. ( O.O)

Do you think they'll go all the way to Resident Evil 7?

C'mon Kingdom Hearts!!
( o.o)

@gingataisen
lol. I see what you mean. I guess the best way to describe it (or at least imo) 3rd person games tend to have a lot of different mechanics. So while most of them have shooting, I wouldn't consider them a "shooter" per se. But from my experience 1st person games are either puzzle or shooters.
Personally, I'm not a huge fan of shooting games. But I'll still play them if the story is good, Halo 4 is one of my favorite games after all.

I clicked because of Snake. lol.
Knowing where the game is going though, this is kind of bittersweet.
( T_T)

Happy Easter! I hope everyone is able to stay safe!
( ^_^)/

I hope it's a 3rd person game. I'm not really a fan of shooting games. But whatever it ends up becoming, I'm really interested in playing because weird 90's art style aside, she looks really BA.

Gonna go play Perfect Dark OG, see ya!
( ^_^)/

I played this game as recently as last year. Aside from cartoony graphics, it still holds up really well. This and 5 imo, are the games least in need of a remake.

But Leon is pretty hunky, and if they change enough of the story and levels to make it feel different enough, sure, why not?

The more buttery smooth the better!

as a side note, I'm not a pc gamer, but everything I've seen is pc players will move heaven and earth to get better performance at the cost of visuals. And many games give them options to do that by changing settings. I wonder why developers seem to ignore that with consoles.

Our Gamepass lasts until August (I think, I'll have to check). But it's a pretty good service and I'm pretty sure we'll renew when the time comes.

@blockfight
I'm playing MGS V too!!
( ^_^)/

I tend to get really excited about games and then forget about them before the day is over. So I don't know if I've heard about the game before, but more souls games is always appreciated.

But that's too bad. I hope it doesn't hurt them financially too much and that everyone is able to stay safe.

@Tasuki
Hey!! You're right! I always thought it was a guy thing, but I guess it's more of a video game thing.

Not that we can go shopping right now, but I remember going to stores like Gamestop and overhearing other customers and even workers engaged in putting down games and consoles. It's not even things like recommending games or giving advice, it's straight up negative comments. lol.

@SuperNintendoMii
You know, I've heard references to the Sega/Nintendo console war. It was before my time, but I've met a few veterans from it. Mostly Sonic fans. lol.

I guess there's something to be said about competition forcing companies to improve. My complaint was mostly about fanbois.

I gave my mic to my sister because she uses it way more than I do, but I got to try game chat just a couple of days ago by borrowing another family member's mic. It was pretty fun talking to strangers. lol.

But generally no. I'm not interested in calling attention to myself or really talking for that matter and I've had some people gatekeep me pretty hard before. So even in party chats I don't really bother.

That's one of the reasons I don't like the PS controller. Before I could tell people I don't have a mic (technically true) but if the controller has one I'm worried I'll keep getting requests when I don't want to at all.

Oooh, that reminds me, I have the chance to play Perfect Dark, but I haven't yet. I better get on that quick! ( o.o).

I'm so excited to see what videogames are coming out for the next consoles.
