Xbox July event thread

Maybe someday you'll find yourself a woman instead of whining girls.

I've had both and imo women whines while (legal) young girls tend to do everything to please...
But I've surely not met every female and definitely not amerikans.

Well that's going a bit too far imo, it looks to me like an X1X game running at 60fps based on the footage I've seen, It's obviously bigger in scale than any Halo 343 has made before but they also made Halo 4 and 5 take place in smaller areas than the games Bungie made.

I do like the mindset that they are trying to get back to the original game and the graphic style here clearly gives that impression which is a plus, now they need to prove they can tell a decent story.
I agree it does look like a One X game but probably bigger than it could handle. I still rather prefer the more realistic vein 343 was headed toward. Hell, they should have been moving toward the Rendered cutscenes they are always putting in the games. Still are, then they start going all hybrid-cartoon again in game and it ends up underwhelming. Whoda thunk?

That studio just needs new leadership.
 
I'm all about that Psychonauts 2 and that Rare game looks promising.

I still play games every day, but the blockbusters just don't do it for me anymore I gotta admit. Not sure if that's old age or what creeping up on me.

I’m finding the same thing, honestly. Psychonauts 2, Everwild, and a few Indies like The Artful Escape have me more interested for something different/new.
 
Except Halo, I'm only interested in playing 3rd party games with best possible graphics on console with my preferred controller and ecosystem. I've been more interested and played more of ubisofts, EAs, Segas etc games than any exclusives from MS and Sony (Nintendo is a whole other thing).
 
How many exclusives were shown at the showcase, 22? So we’re looking at about £1200 worth of exclusive games plus about another 100 existing titles in gamepass with free graphical upgrades to our existing library. Plus we get to play on PC and can stream from September for what £262 over a 2 year period including Xbox Live Gold? No wonder certain people don’t want to talk about anything else but a 6 month old unfinished halo build. Nothing comes close to the value Xbox is offering by a long shot.

That's one hell of a list of creatives. Some of the leads tell me Fable is going to be a platform with ongoing content. You can get an idea about game direction and scope based on the leads hired.

And all the upcoming games will be on Gamepass day one. Including Halo. That's insane
