The bombshell was supposed to be the Viking's Creed gameplay, but...That was a bit of a disappointment, they probably should have at least one bombshell per show, hope they are saving a lot of good stuff for later.

We knew all the games shown would be third party crossgen games though. We don't know what they look like on current gen systems so hard to say that it's visually indistinguishableWhy would you buy a Series X to play games that are on your current hardware and look visually indistinguishable? The negativity is centered on this being marketed as a next-gen blowout, which it objectively delivered none of. Has nothing to do with new IPs or lack of Halos or Gears.
they really fucked up the messaging of this
they would have been better off just calling it another inside XBOX with a look at some titles that will be appearing on XSX
Sony is straight chillin in vacation mode and yet people are still hype af.They showed good things. It's not your fault if you entered with ridiculous expectations and that's 3rd party only and they'll show 1st party games in July. Unlike Sony, they are not taking a vacation.
I thought we had evolved past using autism as an insult/negative connotation.
Enjoy the ban.
Backwards compatibility implies you simply can play the old games on the new hardware. Smart Delivery is about upgrading your game to benefit the power of the next gen
I know that. Also on the bottom of all of the videos they did say smart delivery, so why do they have to keep mentioning it and saying it.It's more than that.
You buy a game on Xbox One, you get the future next gen upgrade for free.
So if it was implemented last gen, you'd buy the 360 version of GTAV and get the next gen version for free basically, that's the deal.
But they can only show what these devs offer them, it's not within Microsoft's control what others do and put together for a showI agreed, still i'm only talking about what was showed, not how it was showed. So I expect Sony to show not in a different way, but some 1st party games that will make me impressed.
"This forum"...what forum are you spending time on? Era is heavily slanted towards Sony. Like, it's not even close. We've been getting threads about literal rubbish nonsense like PC holding back PS5 development because of the new drives, and people have been saying for months that they think Xbox will also hold back PS5 development because of Xbox One and Lockhart, and thankfully Sony will pull out the exclusives. Seriously, where have you been?
Damn. My main takeway is we've really started to hit the point of diminishing returns for fidelity. Next-gen is all about higher framerates for me at this point.
You yourself have to be biased to only be able to see the bias from one side. It's easy to see plenty of fanboys from the Xbox AND PlayStation side on this forum. The only difference may be that there are more for PlayStation because there are twice the PS4 owners as there are Xbox One."This forum"...what forum are you spending time on?

I saw a lot of gameplay. What stream were you watching?
Needs moar flopsWhat the point of bragging with 12tf when you cant even deliver next gen graphics..

I will piss my pants laughing if this turns out to be a remake. Not that it takes away from the graphical accomplishment but the balls to come out and say people want new things to then launch with a remake is so current gen it's ducking hilarious.
Correct, but i'm looking at the present, meaning today's event.Ya know MS still has yet to show their first party games too right?
They still have like 6 months to make you excited for Series X. I'm interested in most of the games shown, but none of them blew me away. Their first party event is what really going to make a statement and no one's going to care about what they showed in May.Fine, not a launch lineup but I mean the first games they choose to show for their new console. Shouldn't we be excited after this?
Goodness I hate gamers like this, y'all complain about everything. You'll hate on this you'll hate on Sony's info drops, you'll complain when we see nothing, why even watch.What the point of bragging with 12tf when you cant even deliver next gen graphics..
I think Madden 21 was actually running on Xbox Series X, but they showed like two seconds of it. Overall if you were expecting to be blown away by gameplay demos of people playing on the Xbox Series X you will be disappointed. If you go in expecting some trailers for some cool looking indie games that are crossgen and look good but not mind blowing you'll find some cool games in there. I think as a show it was good, but being marketed as a showcase fore the Series X's power set it up for failure.Just checking in in my work break. So let me get this straight , there was no footage of next gen games running in XSX? That's too bad . Was looking forward to seeing some. Oh well .
MS is getting hammered on social media, and boy do I think they deserve it.
Inside Xbox is not fit for purpose as presently executed. Scrap that entirely and hire a PR firm to do it right.
Lol. What a miserable showing
Because they want you to know that the games will all be playable on both the base Xbox One to the Series X and you will get all the bells and whistles that come with the next gen for free.I know that. Also on the bottom of all of the videos they did say smart delivery, so why do they have to keep mentioning it and saying it.
Bruh...
This forum has been praising Microsoft this entire year for how they've handled their X1X rollout and have been heavily shitting on Sony's every step of the way and now when people say "nah this ain't it, this was bad" you have the audacity, the gall and the nerve to say this?
Bruh, what are you even saying right now lmao. Who's man's is this?

There won't be a next gen only PS5 game that will blow first party MS games out of the water though
It was a pretty nice gesture by Microsoft to dedicate most of their presentation to showing off Switch games.
It was really bad. I dont have anything against them working from home but the presentation.. the speakers.. so much cringe! So much fakeness!
You are right, probably... I'm not blaming MS at all, I just hope by the time Sony does their show, there is more to be showed.But they can only show what these devs offer them, it's not within Microsoft's control what others do and put together for a show
It was clearly not used in good intention. And I'm not backseat modding Wtf lol. He was already banned when I posted that.Maybe he does not know or mean it insulting. Dont backseat mod.man.
Why would you think that? I was just not impressed at all with what was presented. So, I hope Sony will do different, meaning, showing some games that I will be interested on.
There's nothing wrong with the presentation. That's the best inside Xbox I've watched. Same with state of play. The format is a reel of trailers. You can't go wrong. The issue is the games being shown
I'd agree with you if these games were made by Ubisoft, EA or Cyberpunk, but the vast majority of the games revealed were done by AA studios (first game was done by one guy).I feel like the discussion about "how disappointing! Inside Xbox does it again!!" is way less interesting than the bigger conversation that we're coming up on, which is "what happens when new consoles can't rely on graphics to sell themselves to a mainstream (or even some enthusiast) audiences".
We were always going to reach an inflection point where for even the more tuned in "mainstream gamer", the games simply don't look any different to them.
Can't help but feel like we're there. And it's why things like XCloud and Gamepass, etc are so crucial. Convenience is now king, and graphical leaps are now secondary.
I'm in my mid-30s. Been an early adopter since I could afford consoles. But this time out? I'm gonna play Halo Infinite on my X1X (better graphics on the Series X be damned), and wait on a PS5 til Spider-Man or whatever year 2 stuff drops next Xmas.

Yeah I have watched every Inside Xbox and this was certainly their best one. As a showcase of the Series X's power it was not a fantastic showing. I think they should have marketed it differently.Yes this was the biggest miss. For an inside Xbox show this was actually pretty damn good.
