PR side of Phil is a marketing tool of Xbox division. He is the good cop, praising competition, caring for gamers cringes.
The other tool is Greenberg, the bad cop, mainly trolling on Xbox superiority.
As for respect, all executives in the industry respect each other for a very good reason which is they needs to be able to switch sides for a career move.

And don’t be naïve, even if Phil is really a gamer at heart, at this end his position is to guaran...

Time will tell.
I’m on the side of those thinking that graphical differences will be minor between PS5 and SX and not at all a game changer on third party games.

For first party, MS has everything to prove. Sony has a arm long list of exclusives to prove they can set the bar for an entire generation graphic wise.
Plus, they also have a track record proving they also defined genres on gameplay or storytelling.

If you believe that only...

Are we doomed up to this July event to have the daily dose of “Spencer saying“ ?
This is brain washing.

The worst thing is that nothing can make this stop. Event with current gen where Xbox bring nothing to the table, sell 2 times less than 360 and has been smashed by the competition, there were not a week without Spencer saying.

This really is for me the only thing that make me wish that MS leave the console business. I cannot stand the way the...

Amen. My point also from the beginning of next gen talks.
But well, some will never rely on common sense.

Yeah sure, 120fps none sense again.
Curious to see how many house use their console on 120Hz or 144hz screens.

Show us how MS is going to make SX show relevant after Spencer interview saying next gen benefits cannot be shown on streamed event, but must be “felt”.

Highly impossible in my opinion.
Xbox business model is heavenly relying on subscriptions.
They can make it disappear by name, but we will still have to pay a sub to use all the features of the ecosystem.
Most likely they will emphase on smart delivery to trick us into thinking we got more for the same price.

All in all, it could summarized as “live up to expectations”.
Almost an impossible task in my opinion, PR was so much pumped, cloudy, confusing and contradictory that I am afraid that whatever they show it can not be sufficient.
Roughly, they insinuated that they will provide the best console ever, 4k60 and even 120fps, for the best value, 100% BC with all Xbox game ever released, with the cheapest game pass access, and a ton of new IPs.

To much talk b...

Before FF7 remake, it was my preferred FF game. I don’t know exactly why but I really enjoy the way Square is handling the characters in FF since XV. Plus, game world got a very strong personality.

I really felt being part of a journey with friends, and the twist in the start screen after beating the game was very touching.

Anyway, regarding the article, it was very dispensable: only new update feature remove in the patch.

Interesting article. I think third party dev will continue to support the Switch, it is something like 50 millions machines market they will not let down.

But for sure, it will not be possible to make direct switch ports of SX/PS5. But something like derivatives games, or heavy reworked games to fit Switch limitation but also takes advantage of its attributes can be a way to follow. Something like what is done with the 3DS.

Interesting comment.
The good think is that whatever SX launch will turns to be, you will see it as a “won”, so both you and Sony fans will be happy.
Life sometimes is well done.

@Chris12 Never talked about Sony showcase.
Just saying that most old games ever with enhanced graphics remains old games by their gameplay structure.
That’s the difference we discuss often between remasters and remakes.

But well, if everyone here is convinced main reason to buy a SX at launch is to re-re-replay the first 2001 Halo, be my guest.

And you are replaying your loss games for how many times ? For sake of better graphics and framerate?
We are all gamers here, don’t try to fool anyone. Except from games from current gen that can benefit to play on next gen, digging up very old games is generally a disappointment, considering all progresses done une game mechanics throughout the years aside of only graphics improvements.

But even if this is the ultimate selling agurment, it is only appeal with die...

What a joke. They really need to stop they are confusing their customers too much by spinning and spinning.

This is so obvious that they pushed the « most powerful console » stuff too far that now we are starting to see glimpses of real next gen footage they will not be able to deliver anything they have insinuated (4k60fps everywhere, 120fps!!!).
Once again, PS5 and XSX will deliver the same level of performances in real live, the differences w...

As soon as the trailer started during PS5 event, it made me a strong « resident evilesque » feeling, so it seems the filiation is there.
But for sure this will not be like the old manor/sewer/secret lab RE pattern and this is for good. RE7 made a bold move for the series in term of gameplay, i’m glad they are still exploring on this way.
RE remake lineup is the one for those who search for a more traditional experience,wait for RE4 remake on that front....

It won’t anytime soon. Contrary to Dark Souls, Demon Souls is a Sony owned IP.

Not sure the circuit used in GT Sports for this comparison is the best choice. I think grass an trees are much better in GT7.
Let’s hope the GT7 will include real time weather change this time.

This could be tackle either by SSD or the amount of RAM that would allow to compensate for SSD speed I suppose.

Anyway, the way next gen consoles have been designed will for sure shake the PC world: high end rigs already have the power, but it is in no way used so far the way new console will allow game design.

I think this will be a gen were the ratio cost vs game quality will return to the console side for some years: baseline cost for a power equivalen...

I anticipated something like that during PS5 event. No way what was presented for RE8 could be proposed on PS4.
This is the best Capcom could do: no sacrifice on the game vision for sake of last gen ties.

Hope more dev will go this way.

That’s a little bit easy. Their is nothing preventing them to « steal the show » even without e3. PS5 event proves that online presentation can have massive impact.
If this is so good, don’t mourn about E3 and give sa more positive message on July event instead of saying that is cannot do justice to your work.
