um, what is going on?
Yes.The question is, will Xbox fans buy them?
It's pretty cool to see that timeline featuring different forms of media; from games to comic books and novels. The Gears world has been really "built", so I can understand they won't just throw that away. Still, it would be cool if the Coalition had something else next to Gears. Something like Perfect Dark would fit really well with them, the way they handle world building and action.Gears of War Devs Reveal Series Timeline and How the Gears Universe Can Grow
Gears of War Devs Reveal Series Timeline and How the Gears Universe Can Grow - IGN
The bloodlines in Gears are strong, but The Coalition isn't limiting their stories to select families.www.ign.com
Looks like Gears games from Coalition here to stay. No talk whatsoever about experimenting with a new IP. All Gears, all the time.
There will be two "next generation" Xbox digital events in the next two months.
The one in May will be pretty much like a proper console reveal event, but it'll have selected "showcase" game announcements/demos as well.
The one in June will be their replacement for E3. Show packed with games.
The exact form of these two is still being worked on as we speak. It'll be live streamed video content though.
There will be tons of new games by Xbox first-party. Big guns. Medium games. A few smaller ones. Their new games are sharing a lot of tech, built for UE4. From water to PBR, GI, procedural systems with optimized Houdini access, VRS optimizations, physical vegetation systems etc., the teams try to share tech to accelerate development.
Fable is one of these showcase games. A fantasy monster. I haven't seen it personally, but I got told it looks beautiful. They try to build the whole fantasy world with hand-crafted photogrammetry, yet the world will throw in a mix of procerural generation for bigger scale. Complete RPG systems in place, focus on great third-person fights and fluid animations. From the sounds of it, I expect the game to hit in 2022.
Big exclusive new IP coming from a Japanese studio. No further details known.
Halo Infinite has a huge open-world you can explore, yet the story missions themselves are linear to still be able to progress through the story in a more classic way. Optional exploration. It's a much more ambitious campaign this time around, not your usual 6-9 hours Halo campaign. They are doing one very bold move for multiplayer, which will surprise people, but this move has the potential bring Halo MP back among the top played games on Xbox.
Obsidian - OMG Obsidian!
FM gets a complete reboot. Internal retooling of ForzaTech happened during the last few years already. Engine in position for next-gen now.
Further reboots coming. Just a tease of what's to come.
The next two months are going to be fire. Phil not holding back.
MS ready to price match Sony.
Both consoles will likely be $500.
This time there is too much tech in those boxes to be $400. Desk Top quality CPU's, High Speed SSD's, advanced cooling, Beast GPU's. So powerful the form factor needed to be changed.
If its $500 its a bargain.

For a second there I thought that was for game pass, I was gonna be like “sssshhhhh, don’t let Val see that ”
I agree. MS will be willing to take a bigger loss per console to price match.
If both $500, would you agree that xsx is a better bargain hardware wise?They will need 2.
Gamers win.

True, but I’m not 100% sure he was referring to MS. He’s been discussing that more, so I figured it was in reference to it.Very far away...
