Absolutely zero reason to lay cash down on a Series X for at least a year after launch.
Xbox X will do just fine.

You can say with ONE HUNDRED PERCENT certainty that NOTHING at all was added or boosted graphically for the release version shown today?
Phil isn't thinking about console wars. Sorry. The Xbox Series X is already guaranteed to do better than the Xbox One because of Gamepass, most powerful hardware (or at least because it's not significantly less powerful like last time), and this time the marketing didn't threaten consumer rights. They're on the right path, your mind is just in the wrong space.
Nowhere there does it say crossgen third party games, rather it says "next gen gameplay" that we got none of. Nice try at damage control.
I think he's a Microsoft mole tbh, defending with the blindest faith I've rarely seen
There are few of them here
To me the ordering is just wrong. They should have just done the big blow out next month focused on the first party and third party AAA stuff to have some wow factor and then done another one later with these AA and indie games to give them a spot light. Much like how Nintendo has their seperate Nindies direct to give those games the spot light and not just bury them behind the first party stuff in their main directs.
It says, "from our global developers partners." Which means third party and such.
Get out of here with this crap. If you are going to make an accusation like that, back it up. Or else shut up. If you pay attention at all Chunk is always in every game thread giving his opinion, mostly positive, even when it isn't xbox. Dude enjoys games.
I'm guessing they want to please their third party partners. It's also a really nice gesture to get this kind of exposure for the smaller studios. But yes, everyone is chomping at the bit for next gen exclusives. It's just really hard to have a good convo about any of this right now with all the frigging console warring. I wish everyone could be mature about this and set aside the kneejerk reactions. All this does is hurt these smaller studios who've worked really hard on their games. They don't deserve that just because of some console war.
Seriously, it really saddens me that the first thing that comes to mind for people to type out is how ugly all the games look and so much for Xbox being next gen. I would love to see people actually discussing about some of these games, the same games they are going to be able to play everywhere else, on whatever platform they want most likely. But because they where revealed here, they get dumped on.
Truth is, we need these smaller studios to fill the gaps between all the big hitters. These are the games we will be playing while we are waiting for the games that we really think are going to wow us visually, if these don't even do that, some of them do for me... But it's really important that the AA and indie market do as well as they deserve to. Events like this just give them a better chance to shine and see if all their hard work and ideas are something people might like. But they still have to stand on their own merit.
He talks about 'console wars' in interviews a lot. So he is thinking about it. They want to be number 1.
You're misunderstanding me. They've been fighting an uphill battle, coming from PS4/One generation. They have been fighting hard to win back gamers for this coming generation. They've been doing a good job preparing for next gen, currently better than PS, they've made great moves so far and this was a step back. It wasn't a great showing. That's all the guy was saying and I agree. That's all.In just wondering where these claims that Microsoft isn't ready for next gen are coming from?
They already showed a bit more than Sony and we have seen the actual console from them. That doesn't really indicate to me that they are not ready.
As long as they don't insult certain markets and call them Tier 2 countries or tell people you didn't need to upgrade. Don Mattrick was someIt will definitely do better than the Xbox One at launch. It's guaranteed.
All the negativity from that launch is gone.
Don't be ignorant. You know as well as I do that during these kinds of reveals there are always fanboys on every side waiting to pounce. I'm merely stating from reading the knee jerk reactions that I personally think a lot of it is due to console wars. I've been around a while, I know many of the posters and their "preferred" platforms. No, I'm not going to call anyone specific out. Yes, I will say that a lot of this is due to console wars. That notion isn't without reason. Look at the friggin ban list.How can it be console warring when Sony haven't displayed anything next gen yet?
Warring against yourself?
Who cares if some of their smaller games don't look as good, fine, why consciously choose those games as the machine's hyped first gameplay reveal? Who is running things at Xbox? If Sony comes out and shows gameplay of first party stuff before MS does, it's going to confuse the casuals, even some hardcore that this power advantage isn't really there. They needed to come out swinging.
Looks like a next gen upgrade to me.

The show wasn't great, but why are people burying Microsoft because of it? The format (at least, the first half) was perfect - game -> game -> game.
The issue was the games weren't that exciting. But that's on the third-parties. These are Xbox AND PS5 games. Microsoft was just giving them a platform to show off. If you aren't happy with what was shown, that's on the third-parties, not Microsoft. Same would be true if this had been a PS5 show (it easily could have been).
I don't want to antagonise. I've stated numerous times that I wanted Microsoft to win me over plenty times this thread. And I've outlined my argument in a rational way each time

It's up to MS what they chose to show here. So you can't say it's on 3rd party developers.
At least they allowed them.![]()
~30K dislikes![]()
It will get better because of... communication?MS has always been transparent about cross-gen, smart delivery, building the Ecosystem.
This is kinda expected, while disappointing a'lil. There are the peaks(Series X hardware design) and troughs(smart delivery), things will get better over time. Because we know it will, with how dedicated MS has been communicating with gamers.![]()
I was obviously talking about the "crossgen" part of which there was no mention in those tweets by Xbox, SMH. They clearly said "next gen" and they clearly said " gameplay" and both were lies.

Sorry, but providing updates on what you are working on doesn't somehow improve the work.
People need to temper their expectation for a third party crossgen conference next time...
I was most disappointed with Assassins Creed. That was not gameplay. But I blame Ubisoft for that and really I'm more disappointed in myself that Ubisoft got me again. I should have known that they would not show gameplay so soon after their 1st trailer.
So people are disappointed that optimized for Xbox Series X games look like Xbox One games optimized for Xbox Series X?
Did y'all not see the Gears of War & Minecraft demos?
You will see the changes when the games are being made around the higher spec Xbox & PC
Damn Vawn, you feeling alright?The show wasn't great, but why are people burying Microsoft because of it? The format (at least, the first half) was perfect - game -> game -> game.

fair point.3rd party can still blow you away. I was blown away by Watchdogs, Star war 1313, Titanfall, Battlefield 4 and etc. It's the game selection that was a dumb thing for first next gen gameplay get hyped video. Just a bunch of indie games and Madden with a nothing trailer and Dirt 5. 3rd parties could have been Elden Ring, Harry Potter, Batman and etc.

except 1 min of gameplay of this looked much better than haze in his entirety.Calling it now - Bright memory is the new HAZE
i was expecting that, you don't show your big titles on a crappy 45min event.Where on Earth does it say a 'third party crossgen conference'
I will eat major crow if you can provide evidence to this

Every game shown had gone through the series X, a next gen console, dev invironment and was clearly enhanced for it. So yes, that was next gen gameplay. The same way those same games on a PC with similar specs would be next gen. The only point you have is with the "gameplay" like I said before. They could have done better. That was definitely a marketing mistake when most of the clips where "shot" without huds like in game trailers. So it's hard to tell what was actually indicative of true in game gameplay.I was obviously talking about the "crossgen" part of which there was no mention in those tweets by Xbox, SMH. They clearly said "next gen" and they clearly said " gameplay" and both were lies. Keep up the damage control, you're doing a good job.
