I suspect the next one will be the Series S, with the S in place of the X.

I am sure "devs don't count" this week...but I will post this anyway...

Xbox Series X: What do game developers say about next-gen? We asked several for their thoughts.


The Xbox Series X is upon us. But what do game developers think of this next-gen beast? We spoke to several to find out their thoughts.

Long read, but good. Immediate load times, hardware ray tracing

  • Hardware-accelerated ray tracing is also a very welcome feature.
  • The SSD storage speed then lets us take those beautiful realistic environments and make them load in a flash
  • addition of hardware ray tracing is also super exciting
 
I wonder if BC titles could be optimized to take advantage of the quick load times. It would honestly make a world of difference for certain games - Lost Odyssey comes to mind.

I wouldn't count The Coalition or Moon Studios developers.
 
People should place bets on wether The Initiative's gane is Perfect Dark or something entirely new.

Maybe the second IP is the XGS publishing game they held back on showing last time.
I bet NO! Just because I don't care about PD, lol. Gimme something new!!

Edit: That logo makes me think of Home Depot for some reason, lol. It doesn't make me think of Tech. Being a fan of DIY, I don't necessarily hate it, but it doesn't necessarily fit for me, either.

I can’t find the source right now, but I was just reading something that said we should see at least a glimpse at E3 of what they are making, but it’s something totally new and still earlier in development.

I hope that’s true.

Fable and Perfect Dark will be in name only IMO. Both the classic game designs and old art styles would be outdated for a AAA reboot. Both have pretty open templates.

To me what made Fable famous was it was going to be a colorful, more whimsical fantasy RPG where your decisions would impact the world. It never reached that goal.

Perfect Dark on the N64 was one of the highest rated games ever because for its time, it was the most dynamic console game where you could beat missions in different ways. Joanna was a replacement for James Bond in a cyberpunk universe...with Aliens. There's so much you can do there. Cyberpunk is back in. Dynamic gameplay can evolve with next gen CPUs.

how bout a new banjo game in the mold of the new god of war? A mature and gritty platformer but they keep the silly sounds they make, for the kids
 
Maybe the sad part of Perfect Dark is that it indirectly kills my AAA Shadowrun RPG dream. With Cyberpunk from CDPR and Microsoft's major marketing deal that will receive long tail support, a 3rd person Perfect Dark cyberpunk game...it's hard to imagine they'd dip back into that setting again with Shadowrun. Still one of the most under-utilized IPs in gaming IMO. The old FASA IPs, Shadowrun, MechWarrior/Battletech and Crimson Skies all were under-used or mis-used by old Microsoft management.

Question.

Should I get a Elite 2 controller or just be ok with a series x controller?

The Series X controller will be only slightly better than the current controller as far as we know (D-pad upgrade and share button), so I guess judge from that. I personally think it comes down to how much you would use the customizable paddles on the Elite controller.
