"The Xbox Showcase + Starfield Direct Could Be the Start of a Long Xbox Winning Streak" says Ryan McCaffrey.

Look, there's nothing wrong with feeling optimistic about the future of Xbox. However, for at least a year and a half there has been consistent criticism from WITHIN the Xbox community (look at Defining Dukes and even Colt Eastwood) about the lack of triple-A games and the mishandling of big titles like Halo Infinite and more recently Redfall. So Micros...

IF Microsoft is planning one for 2024 it’s not going to say so in 2023 for fear of causing potential Xbox console buyers to delay their purchase.

It’s been three years since the teaser - I was expecting to see gameplay.

Tekken 8 Cnt?

That’s a bit rude.

@Asplundh You and your friends should check this out: Xbox x OPI nail polish controller. The hand in the image is of a trans-woman, originally it would've included their face too - part of Phil Spencer's drive to bring inclusiveness to gaming. But following some pushback about a product outside of the industry (maybe a beer was it?) Marketing decided to soften that messaging. !00% true, trust me, bro.

@SullysCigar & @Asplundh - The emblem does have multiple colours but it's not, I don't think, the LGBTQ flag which has green in it. It will likely appear in game perhaps as the logo of a group such as Constellation.

Console rivalry can be harmless. But when you have Aaron Greenberg the VP of Games Marketing trolling the PlayStation Showcase it energises the extremist fans.

The game sounds ambitious. I'm interested to know whether Netflix will make this just for smart-devices which by release new models will be even more technically capable. If it plans to release the game on home consoles too then it indicates mainstream plans so that Netflix could surprise everyone by becoming the Netflix of gaming.

NBA 2K23? I'm a f-ing nerd if I enjoyed sports I wouldn't be playing video games! 🤣

Whilst Fable III had its issues I still have a lot of love for the franchise. The mood, the setting, the score and quirky Britishness of it all. Hopefully it's not too easy as I remember, vaguely, owning everything in the game! Why is Microsoft teasing a reveal before the reveal? Well, how good would it be if this gets a pre-Christmas release?!

Who cares about spending £70 for a single game like Street Fighter 6 or Diablo IV when you can get a bunch of titles like Stacking, Car Mechanic Simulator 2021 and the Big Con for free?

I understand that Konami is not looking to go to the great expense of remaking the games, but I hope some kind of up-res option can be included which would automatically increase the frame rate and make them 4K.

I don't get why people are talking about this like it's a new console - it's an optional peripheral!

What with this and Bend Studio’s recent statement about working on their best game, it definitely sounds like at least some people at PlayStation have heard the negative criticism about the showcase.

No one likes delays but that’s better than making the same mistakes if Redfall which was to release it before it was fully baked. The glimmer of positivity is that Naughty Dog says it will share more soon about the game and its new single player. Hopefully this is signs of a s...

‘Nice’?! Talk about damning with faint praise the cheeky fucker - I like his style! After watching the PlayStation Showcase he must’ve been punching the air with joy as he lives to fight another day.

@potatoseal You have an analytical mind - don’t waste that talent you’d do well getting into detective work.

The showcase did not make me feel 'fantastic'.

1126d ago 12 agree2 disagreeView comment

What you got straight after the showcase was the Xbox Twitter account making clear that many of the games shown for PS5 will also be available on Xbox. Fine, that's the social media account doing its job and pacifying its user base and persons considering buying a PS5 to play these games.

However, the worst part is that head of Xbox PHIL SPENCER retweeted this which smacks of desperation.

I had high expectations and they were not met. Because PlayStation hadn’t had a conference for a year and half there was the hope that it would show all bangers. Whilst there was some good stuff it felt like a glorified State of Play with some indies, third party games and no major new exclusives shown. I loved the symbiote animations in Spider-Man 2 but the game looked like more of the same. Haven and Firewalks’s CGI trailers said nothing about the games, why not show the graphics?
