Kotaku: Microsoft's Inside Xbox Show Isn't Working
- Thread starter Neat
- Start date
Yeah, it just needs to be shorter and prerecorded. The love setting adds nothing. And cut out the fluff to make them 20 min long. There was a solid 20 minute episode in this one, but it lasted an hour. Also, it can probably be a bi-monthly, or even quarterly thing
I have been to the German one, it is not a fake ass crowd. Microsoft just spends a lot of genuine effort in making it an awesome night with activities and lots of free drinks, so the crowd is pretty much excited by everything. 😅
i didn't realize they were an hour. i mostly game on xbox...and have never even watched one of these things.
Cut this thing in half, and you have gold. I watched like 10 minutes and then noped out because it just dragged.
Problem with Inside Xbox is that Microsoft themselves don't have the content/information needed to fill an hour.
They should do this like Nintendo does their.. They arrive, drop the info and leave.
That's it no chit chat no time wasting.. I love dev interviews but if you ask them obvious questions with obvious answers it's just filling time

Yep, the only problem with Microsoft is they doesn't have a fighting game wit 196 characters to fill an absolutely fascinating show of five hours introducing every single one of them.
The format is fun and interesting but they need to cut it down to 15 or 20 mins.
The reality is that they don't announce anything over the top and it's just small info drop every month... things that could be done in a blog post with a video.
But the show is corny and fun, they premiere trailers and give some interesting info here and there. Is a show for fans of xbox and videogames that can be interested on developers interviews and stuff. Is not like all the info is not gonna be in the internet right after the show anyway. The show can get better, but people are overreacting about the importance of the show. Is not a conference, is not E3 or gamescom, who cares if it have some pacing issues and tacky jokes?
I think they should have cut down on the time after how awfully paced and dull the X conference in new mexico was. Seems pointless.
The only way it could get worse is if they all sat on couches and talked like sony tried.

The stuff people on this site find creepy or offensive is creepy on its own
It's too much care salesmen talking to other car salesmen for my taste. Tone it down a little! I like the idea of having a show like this but it's too long and too much Home Shopping Network style.
I liked the last episode.
If they get it down to 60 minutes, they'd be better off.
I would like occasional longer, special edition episodes if they're doing like a deep dive on one of their studios or partners though.

IMO, either make it full on pdcast style, or have more significant announcements for each show. They should take a quarterly approach:
- Inside Xbox, February
- E3 Press conference, June
- Inside Xbox Gamescom, August
- Inside Xbox at X0, November
Keep the length at about 45 minutes (except E3, which can go for longer). Each happening after 3 months allow for MS to accumulate more assignments.

Cut down on time, make it less often, don't focus on third party stuff and actually have interesting announcements.
Don't they reserve some of the news for the "This week on Xbox" show, which seems closer to a Nintendo Direct. I could understand if they want to do something different.
That could be true too But goddamn that Mexican crowd was loud as fuck 😂
It should be condensed to about 30-45 minutes, and upload the full length interviews to YouTube. It really shouldn't be the length of an E3 conference.
Same, but I can get news about that stuff from a million different other places
I mean if you look at the guy's reaction next to MN, even he is like "wow, really?"
Can you explain me what his comment means? I don't really understand.
I'm really trying to figure this out. Are you saying do you/do me is a sexual thing? Because it's one of those lines thats everywhere now including the The Outer Worlds trailer. It's always said on twitter too.
I can't agree man, he just kind of chuckled and I'm not sure what is supposed to be so vulgar here in the first place, feels like a misplaced take IMO.
There's nothing worth me sitting through an hour of talking heads blathering out useless company approved word soups just to gleen the occasional useful tidbit of information. I would honestly rather watch a broom collect dust for an hour than endure another one of those boring, stagnant wanks.
