Kyle Bosman - Xbox Games Showcase Quick Thoughts
- Thread starter Expy
- Start date
yep, and i dont like this "but its 30fps and not even open world", who cares? this is NEXT GEN right? this is the most powerful console right? if you cant make a game that looks as good or close enough then why the hell do we even need these new consoles for?
Yeah it's very strange, one moment they're talking about how the Series X is the most powerful console, releasing videos about it's architecture to create hype, then the next moment it's as if Series X doesn't exist and Game Pass is the future.
I do think Game Pass is great and I'm glad they're sticking with it, but I'm wondering if Microsoft choosing to not put heavy focus on the Series X (or just choosing to focus on one or the other) is actually making things difficult for the game developers. There is clearly something going on, with how Halo looks as well as other big games seemingly still very far off. Hoping this was just a case of a bad show and that things aren't as bad as they seem.

Was watching the kinda funny post conference talk, and Tim Gettys made a good point, if the games they've shown are on gamepass, then it kinda unsold him on the series x. Which is the same for me, cause it means I can just stick to my pc or grab a series x to play any game they announced today.
An interesting conference considering theyre selling a brand new console this year.

What was the counter of the phrase "Built from the ground up for Series X" in that event? It came up multiple times
Fucking lmao this is accurate. The dude wouldn't look out of place as a grunt in any other game
Yeah, it was a really bad event. I initially thought it was "alright", but nah, it was just bad. It seems like almost every first party game shown is years away. I wouldn't expect much from Xbox Game Studios in the next two years.
the video is <5 minutes, just in case you think it's 10+ like the PS5 reveal event one was
What would Master Chief even say back to the puppet that would be interesting? "Keep your voice down. I just woke up"? Every Brute in the previous games acts just like this guy. Chief has dealt with Gravemind and it was scary. Either way, more Kyle videos please.
People with PC's have been wondering the same for years.
Let's just care about great fucking games, and not graphics. It's so fucking shallow and disappointing to see an enthusiast forum react this way to an unreleased game.
900p didn't stop Breath of the Wild from being an incredible game.
Yeah, but They would also get 30% of everything that one person spends on content for the console so how smart is that approach?
It's under 5 minutes long.
If you don't want people to talk about graphics perhaps don't make your console's marketing headline for 2 years "The Most Powerful Console Ever Made™" and then not deliver on that during its biggest showcase
Yeah that close up monologue of that low res textured brute definitely stood out to me for the wrong reasons.
How much do you wager Microsoft makes from every PC gamer who HAS to buy their OS?
PlayStation and Xbox clearly have extremely divergent strategies right now. Neither is wrong or right, just different approaches to making money in video games. I think both will be successful at what they do and the console warriors will have to get used to the fact that the two aren't going to be very comparable moving forward.
OP

It's 4 minutes long, he's trying to be... "not negative" about the show, and only did a 4 minute "quick thoughts" about it.
The revenue is not constant tho, which is why they're making more money with office... and also people and gamers would need to buy their OS anyway, they wouldn't even need a gaming division for that.

Yeah those are pretty much my thoughts as well. I'm getting a series X on day one still, but I'm not that excited about what's going to be there. I was definitely more excited for the One X.
Didn't they come out saying that it was real time and not cg
Exactly my impressions. Thanks for putting words to them.
To add to that they were setup to completely change the conversation here, and they bluntly put blew it. The one saving grace for me was the variety of games shown, however unimpressive.
Agree. I'm looking forward to most of the games shown, and will be downloading them on GamePass day one, but this conference did next to nothing for me
Exactly.
I felt like I saw 4, maybe 5 teraflops in the showcase. MS has been so good at hyping up the power of this thing, and then they presented two gaming showcases that fell flat in the tech department.
Gamepass may just be that hail mary that works for them. It was the one thing that I was impressed with.
I think it's TLOU2 and Ghost of Tsushima that fucked up people's expectation recently
I remember thinking "man, a lot of what Sony showed was cool, but there ain't much for this holiday, this looks all like 2021". Now I realize that I should at least be thankful that Sony is hitting 2021. A lot of stuff MS showed showed looked like 2022 at the earliest. And I know Phil said there are still plenty of studios they haven't talked about yet, but if they had games coming anytime soon, wouldn't they have shown them here? Really curious what the 2021 slate could possibly for first party MS.
Is it bad part of me is disappointed Kyle never made these sorts of vids when he was at Easy Allies?
I get that it wasn't a new console launch, but this type of content is what people wanted out of him the whole while

This was supposed to be the big hype games showcase for XBOX in July. I wonder what's left to be announced for the rest of the year (including August)?
I am not sure whether the Lockhart reveal event will have few more surprises. Good job on the video, Kyle.

Makes me feel like I'm taking crazy pills when people state it was better than PS5's event. Like huh?
Also, am I nuts or didn't we get past this when Microsoft bowed out of the console race? When they announced all games going forward will be on PC... you lost your exclusives, you have a platform that can play upressed Xbox One games and a cheaper PC alternative.

I agree with him. But at the same time, I really like MS's overall vision, and I love how different it is than PS5. Lots of cross-gen (I think, lol; getting confusing now), Game Pass focus, lots of new studios making stuff, good genre variety, lots of next-gen patches for XB1 games, etc. They're just doing things that excite me in different ways than the PS5 excites me.
It just kept going and going and the longer it went on, the less meaning it had.
