"they've never really shown the value of their consoles in people's homes."
Really? Multiplayer gaming and Xbox live brought tremendous value for the home console space at the time. If it wasn't for MS flag shipping online gaming we would not be where we're at now. What they're doing now is an evolution of what MS made popular back during the OG Xbox days of online gaming.
There's no "defending" its what MS is ...
"Also have to ask why is Series X/S even needed? Especially when - they - have no games of their own."
Because MS still believes in console and always will. The console is the main selling point everything else is extra. It's literally an ecosystem. Something they've been shouting from the rooftops for 5 years now.
Right, I agree what I'm saying is Playing new gen games on old console and how much resources it's taking on MS end is too good to be true all At 1080p 60. Most importantly that's not cheap at all, Streaming all that data and bandwidth with a huge game like Starfield on a 2013 Xbox is amazing. I'm saying GPU price could go up because of the back end of what MS is doing, what they're providing for its gamers. That's not cheap that's allot of memory and bandwidth bei...
Basically you'll be able to stream your games on console. No downloading or waiting.
And you get to stream current gen games on old systems, Fable, Avowed, Perfect Dark etc will be streamable on the old 2013 console.
This works for all the current and last gen Xbox consoles.
I think he's on to something tbh. The bandwidth and data streaming will be tremendous to stream on old consoles. I'm Not saying MS can't do it, I'm just saying they probably gonna raise the price of GPU. All that data and back end work being beamed to the console at no extra charge?
They'll probably test with smaller games first then go on the the bigger games.
But think about it. Streaming Starfield and E6 or Avowed at a very generous...
No downloading you'll be able to save space in your hard drive which is very good hear to hear.
Essentially what this means is you'll be be able to play something like Starfield on X1. Next gen titles will be in 1080p 60 with xcloud stream. Which is more than good enough for quality.
I already know what certain ppl will say. "I REALLY don't know need to buy a Series Console to play the games now"
1. ) I don't ...
Your talkin about a game that's also on X1. I dunno why everyone continues to overlook that.
"They still can't put out a new quality IP, let alone release a good exclusive."
Still can't? What does that even.... Huh??
There studios are still developing the titles. What you said made absolutely no sense dude.
It launched barebones and quickly rectified the issue and had 4.8 million active players this past summer and topping steam charts. The Battlefront games launched and quickly failed nobody talks about those games. Anthem launched barebones and never recovered and died.
"lowered expectations for their fans. What exactly does that even mean?
That's just it we don't know how the campaign is. By streamlining the workload and focus on what matters there's a high chance the campaign could be great.
I guess you forgot or didn't know that key devs were leaving the project for a few years. Also they had incompetent leadership running the show as well. Internal struggles tend to happen when you're a large studio.
It'll be in the second season. 3 months after release. Seriously though, I much rather them have the single and MP be great than focus on other things and have the single player be terrible. A bad campaign is essentially a bad game forever and that's something 343 can't live with. A delayed Co cop they can live with.
An after thought? According to who? You're making it a bigger deal than it actually is, trust me.
Another delay? He mentioned nothing of another delay.
It just comes down to priorities. They need the campaign and MP to be top notch at launch then add in Co op campaign down the line as well as forge.
Forge can wait but no Co Op campaign does suck personally.
I said in the other article that Sony doesn't need to attend all the events and spend loads of money on promoting themselves and advertising. However other ppl commented below and made it clear that Sony still needs to bring their A game despite the fact GOW, GT7 and Forbidden West will sale very well, we know that it's a given it's inevitable. Still, They need to attend events give solid release dates, reassure or communicate to us that Forbidden West is being delayed or if it&#...
It's gonna take allot more than a holiday season for MS to "steal" Sony's spotlight. They need consistent AAA releases through out the year rated 90+. I say that because PlayStation is on a different lvl with their games. So consistent AAA releases and with 90+ metacritic is the bar realistically and it's a high one. MS did it with 360, they can do it again. Considering they're emulating what made the 360 popular from the Start.
With that said MS ...
Infinite, Horizon 5 hopefully Cross Fire X as well. The no games argument is finally dead.
Weren't you paying attention? Almost a year ago MS said some titles would be case by case basis. Which is remasters/legacy titles and existing titles will be updated and multiplats. Anything new like Redfall and Starfield is exclusive.
There's a few things here.
1. Sony has allot in the works and many projects that are being developed. Next year will be a great year for PS5 with all their exclusives. At the moment things are still to early to announce anything, if they did have a showcase and announce things it would be far out and Sony would have to opt to CG trailers in which nobody likes. All, in all their newer projects are just too early to show off right now, it's in the early stages.
Sooooo glad it's its a reboot it's been too damn long. They needed a fresh start from the series for a long time.
