MS Showcase will be Gen 9 heavy, but not the entire show...

Then when the fuck there is going to be Series X showcase, where the fuck is E3. I am not going to tune into another inside xbox.

Oh, so 9th generation is SXS and PS5? Never understood naming it gen X, as if I know what was the first gen. I was PC only before that.

i am getting worried for this event... i am beginning to think the only "big" next gen reveal they have is Halo Infinite, i really hope i am wrong
 
We've known for months that MS's first party output will be cross "gen" (gens are dead) for a good while. Years by the sounds of it. The majority of the stuff you see today will also be on X1.

Getting boring explaining this honestly, but that's the whole point. Xboxes aren't generational now, they're just PCs. They're not arbitrarily limiting games that could run on an XSX to the new boxes, they're letting you decide when you upgrade. Immediately? Great. In 2 years when your hardware is finally too weak to run the new games properly? Also great. They're just removing the illusion of choice that you have when you try to run software on massively outdated hardware to a reasonable standard. As long as you're in the ecosystem and paying for Game Pass / Gold, they're happy. It's also the reason they're emphasising BC so much, again, your new flashy box is just a decent spec PC that can run old games even better than before.

Just wait for the Xbox Series X Elite or whatever in about 3-4 years.

Well 9th gen supposedly means XSX/PS5...

Yeah so am guessing there will be some Gen 9 exclusive content and some cross gen. Ideally they will show the difference between them but more than likely just give out buzzwords like fps, resolution, optmised for series X etc 🤷‍♂️

They will absolutely have more than Halo, but honestly, if Halo blows me away that's all I need.
 
"alot" you use tht word loosely. Most of the Sony show was next gen stuff and a good showing at that.

Well a portion of it, semnatics aren't much point here otherwise we'd just say he says the show is Gen 9 heavy which implies again the bigger portion will be Gen 9 focused. But then OP wouldn't have their bait.
 
1H showcase with some Gen8 things, I wonder.
Hope they drop a megaton though, then Sony will answer in August.
This is getting really interesting, MS is putting up a great fight this time and that feels great.
(Probably still going to buy a PS5 due to backlog and their general direction seem to better suit me)
 
Really hard to tell where Microsoft is right now with their games. This tweet is a bit weird given that Microsoft said all first party games are cross gen for the first couple of years so all games we see tonight (unless it is third party exclusively developing for the PS5 and XSX) are going to be Xbox One, Xbox One S, Xbox One X, Xbox Series X and PC if I am not mistaken?

In a way that is a good thing though (for me). If XSX were to go all out and give games the Naughty Dog treatment of making the impossible possible then surely my PC wouldn't be able to run those XSX games well, but for the next 2 years~ I should be fine.

Still from a progress and curiosity standpoint I would prefer if Phil Spencer came on stage and dropkicked the Xbox One X out off existence, made an L sign with his hand over his head facing a picture of Don Mattrick and screams "NEXT GENS BEGINS THIS YEAR FUCK THE PAST" and reveals everything they said so far has been a hoax.
 
What could they possibly talk about that is XBone focussed? Sony didn't even talk about TLOU2 or Ghosts in their event.

Maybe he is talking about the crossgen nature of the games, I hope so.
 
Lets hope they don't try and spy on everyone with Forcing Always online and having a Kinect camera always wacthing you lol
 
I think he's setting expectations low intentionally, I think the show will be dominated by Series X snd people will be surprised. Why would they concentrate on old gen when they've just cancelled Series S and XB1X?

Not that I think MS will blow me away either haha

I think there gonna have a great showing.
New triple AAA Ips. Old classics brought back like Perfect Dark and Fable.
I think they will delivery what they the fans want
 
good, don't want to see 2023 games.. or games with just a project title, or games that don't even have a release year, because they are so far off.
 
honestly people shouldn't feel disappointed. Microsoft's showcase is all about games, they've already said there won't be exclusives for Series X for the next two years. Today they are having a phenomenal event showcasing games, games and more games. Why does it matter if it's Series X or Xbox One?
 
2020 but some of us don't forget certain bs
Xbox doesn't have a camera or Kinect this time around, not even a port for it. I think they were scarred enough by it not to ever touch it on console ever again. It's the VR cameras that you'll need to worry about next, full body tracking ect.
 
Speaking of AR, whats going on with HoloLense? Seems to have just dropped off the earth.

Damn I forgot about that.
I can imagine it being great if implemented properly. Minecraft and maps on games etc. I Use to think about how it would be great with Halo lol.

Or games like the Star wards "AR" boardgames.

VR and Hololense together with Halo would be awesome. In like 20 years lol

Also I think they released one last year. https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&r...=eqFqtAJMtYE&usg=AOvVaw2TxYlBkV5uYm3G_mNUZtUg

Yeah we expect always the first showings to be a mixed back but more next Gen showcase. Three or four solid next Gen showings and I'll be happy enough. With Microsoft I don't think thyll one up Sony buttttt if they can at least be on par or show they have some really good goodies then thy did their job. Again most of this shit is subjective. E. G. I could care less for Halo but I know some ppl love it, I'm looking out for Fable today 😊

Nah mate. They'll open with Skyrim.

What they really should do is open with GTA VI. Can you imagine? They seem to have a good relationship with Rockstar. Xbone X had the best version of RDR2, it even came on to Game Pass.
 
you guys are not up to date...

its confirmed that there will be a pre show, the show and post show.
Games will be revealed in the pre show as well as in the actual show,
so lot of games will be shown
ready for the show?

I do and I think this is how you garner more momentum and mindshare

They really need to go balls to the wall at this event and with that said I think it'll be a good showing

I want to see what Avowed is
 
If they actually opened with GTA VI i would laugh my ass off... sorry not to fanboy here too hard but if Sony showed a trailer for GTA V and then MS turns around and gets GTA VI that would be insane and the entire internet would EXPLODE.

But since Sony appears to have marketing rights with GTA at the moment i'm expecting them to drop a GTA VI trailer in August which would also be awesome.

Opening with GTA VI would be enough to explode the internet and the outerspace
