Very good podcast. Excellent questions were asked.
Nostalgic stuff right here. Great way to bring in a new generation on the games I grew up on.
@Reddurt did you not here Xbox E3 no one gets left behind. All games will be playable on all systems.
Everyone forgets E3 2016 and Post E3 announcements, MS can launch on Xbox Scorpio, Scalebound, Phantom Dust Remaster, Crackdown 3, Sea of Thieves, Forza 7 and State of Decay. Personally, I feel that besides Halo Wars 2, the early 2016 lineup will have State of Decay or Scalebound in April/ May and leave the rest of the titles for second half of year. You add VR titles being made for Xbox Scorpio plus a sequel to Ori and Blind Forest. You have a great launch lineup.
Note Xb...
I anticipate MS not doing a Press event in Gamescom in order to prepare a bigger event for Scorpio Launch. Gamers want more games with the launch of Scorpio and MS will do it.
Microsoft is offering choice. Xbox One, Xbox One S, Windows 10 PC and Scorpio play anywhere and nobody gets left behind.
Love Battletoads for RareReplay and back in the day. Would love to see the new direction they take.
@chris here are some gems Oxenfree, Zheroes, Blues and Bullets, Guns Gore and Canolli and Kings Quest. Trust fantastic games. Overall, so many great titles. I am personally looking forward to the games you mentioned but also the Tacoma, Beacon, ION, Rivals of Aether, Day Z and a few I can't remember.
@Garethvk
You missing the point the convenience of playing all your BC games on your current console is one of the many reasons BC rocks. Switching between consoles to play last gen games is really last gen. Xbox is moving forward in all aspects of innovation and you guys keep debating old habit/attitudes when in reality, if your console offered the ability to do what Xbox One owners are capable of doing you would say this is actually cool. Also the fact that all the BC t...
Well said @rainslacker
@Chevalier
I see what you did there, you want to start a console war argument. Sorry I won't give you the benefit of the doubt. However check you facts before stating lies "There are 20 or so 1st and 3rd party exclusives since the beginning of the year on PS4 NOT". Everyone knows you are lying.
What Cherry picked facts? Where do I downplay PSVR and tell out right false hoods(oxenfree), did you not comprehend "first half stand outs" comment. Oxenfree was exclusive for several months on Xbox One. Geesh reading comprehension goes a long way.
@Butchertroll
Actually the holidays aren't the only thing that matters. Here is 2015 entire year for Xbox one
ScreamRide
Ori and Blind forest
State of Decay
Elite Dangerous
Rare Replay
Forza 6
Halo 5
TombRaider
Not to mention all the free to play titles that were exclusive in 2015 and Indies.
@SpaceRanger I hate doing this back and forth stuff because then the original comment gets lost, however, I plan on shutting this conversation down real easy. You claim Xbox one has no diversity then you are just being bias.
RYSE
Forza 5,6
Max and Cursed Brotherhood
Forza Horizon 2 & 3
LocoCycle
Crimson Dragon
Powerstar Golf
DeadRising 3 & 4
Sunset Overdrive
Rise of Tombraider
...
Of course you wouldn't be excited since its not on your system of choice. If it was you would be praising the hell out of it.
The same can be said for Xbox One owners with Oxenfree, Flame in the flood, Cobalt, Fortified, Stranger in Sword City, KillerInstinct Season 3, Quantum Break, Raiden V, Inside. Lol., that's from so far this year. Xbox One owners don't have to play old last gen games, when we always have gems dropping. However, having the option to play last gen games Like Rainbow Six Vegas 2, XCOM, Read Dead Redemption, Left for dead 2, Tekken Tag Tournament, Halo Wars, Deus X Human Revolution, Limbo...
We can all boost strengths and weaknesses on both sides at any given point. Many Xbox and PlayStation gamers always boost there consoles when the console is at its strength.
Here is my take on it. PlayStation had a weak holiday from August 2015 to January 2016. Xbox One had a strong holiday from August 2015 to December 2015. Sony ramped up the new year with titles but will fizzle out by second half on PS4 in preparation for VR. For those gamers not interested in VR you get ...
@TheCommentator
Lmao good one
I love Halo 5, initially Warzone had me hooked now all of my attention has turned to Warzone Firefight.
Congratulations team 343 with regards to player engagement and also truly being in the forefront with free DLC and updates. No MP this generation comes close.
@thekhurg
They also have limited edition Xbox One S in Red w/ Gears logo. That looks really sexy as well.
