Right now the only thing I'm expecting is the announcement of the Winter of Arcade lineup. I'm still surprised we didn't get a new Gears 5 trailer at X0 so maybe we'll see one there.

Also, how ugly is armature's studio logo? Goddamn.
Compulsion has been my dark horse studio since these acquisitions began.
They've all the talent they need in the right places, they just need manpower to execute.
Let's leave it at this. I'd rather not have to come back in here over arguments and drama derailing the thread.
Still my favorite racing franchise of all time. Yes even more than Forza Horizon. Only racer where I'd keep saying "just 1 more game" 10 x's before going to bed. Nothing has handled like it. Kudos system in closed tracks was crack.

Haha
What Klobrille think about that gif? :P
Sounds good in theory, but I would think microsoft would have to make a deal with gearbox (that was the publisher I think)for that to happen. If it didnt sell well, they may be more willing to do that, especially since they have dlc planned for we happy few.
What does Microsoft do well? Racing (Forza Horizon, Forza Motorsport), platformers (Ori, Cuphead), shooters (Gears of War, Halo). The only console that does better platformers is Nintendo, but that is not a negative on just how good Ori and Cuphead are.
What they have done is to ensure that they have acquired their second party partners and this will give them an opportunity to grow and hopefully better support will give rise to better games. Compulsion, Obsidian, InXile, Ninja Theory, The Initiative, Playground Games second studio are all working on story driven games. The type of games that Microsoft has been lacking in quality most of this generation.
If Rare can go back to the form that they had when they were releasing Kameo and Viva Pinata, then Microsoft will be in a good place. All they have to do is to try and get Japanese titles onto the platform and maybe invest in one or two of their own. The widespread investment that type of game will not move consoles for them, and I would wager that if they are doing better than they are this generation and that the gap in sales is not as huge as it is, then you will see these developers putting games on the Xbox anyway. If they cannot be moved to do that, then it is their loss.
I am also against Microsoft paying them to port games to the platform.
It was yet another Xbox/MS thread full of trolls and jokes.
Sure, they'd have to work something about but Gearbox really don't have any reason not to play ball.
Compulsion own the IP.
The game didn't sell or review well.
It's for all intents and purposes worthless beyond what Microsoft is inclined to do with the first game.
Gearbox really have no reason not to play ball or even take a buyout for their rights on the first game.
To use a famous example, it's the same situation - more or less - Microsoft found themselves in after EA acquired BioWare. They worked out a deal and ME1 was published on PS3.
What do you think about Microsoft's recent studio acquisitions? How do you think they look going into next gen?
Considering we just had a mod warning, it would best be said in private messages if you want to continue this conversation there.
Now come on, the tweet itself was a troll lol
I'm hoping Spencer keeps it up all the way to and during E3, play it up for laughs even.
You do realize there's more to the industry ( a lot more btw) then Sony vs MS? The tweet was literally in regards to the ESA press release.

Microsoft should work with Nvidia and Intel instead of AMD, i have the feeling that the PS5 will be cheaper and more powerful than Xbox V if they remain with AMD.
If AMD makes both consoles, even the smallest difference in specs will affect performance really bad, if Sony skips E3 then they will reveal the PS5 specs after Microsoft, and we will get the PS4 v.s XOne situation all over again wich will be bad for the brand.

And it could literally be a good piece of PR on Xbox's part too, I mean the news about E3 is trending, it's smart to jump on it.
Not gonna happen.
Microsoft can tease Scarlett at E3, no specs, no price. Just a tiny video, with lightining and shadows... with a text: "Coming soon"
If Sony announce after E3, Microsoft can announce X019 after Sony event about PS4.
Microsoft already got advantage.
Going after Sony, they can announce a better box with the same price.
Two things I'm confident of going into next gen
- Microsoft will not sell hardware at a loss
- Game Pass will be 100% crucial and feature a monstrous line up of launch titles
Got to be careful. Hyping up and underdelivering would end up swinging the momentum the other way.
You crazy. Surface team has been on a roll and Uncle Phil already said so.
You really think so?
I am highly confident they will sell at a loss. It's 7nm time. It's time to go big or stay home. This is it. This is the generation of generations. Worse than the Xbox 360 gen in terms of likely length. It's pretty much iterative from here.
It will be interesting to see in 2020.
Microsoft selling at a loss with a more powerful box than Sony and a bunch of 1st party reveals would be absolutely killer.
There's some info dropping for Sunset Overdrive on PC and Brad Sams seems to be hinting at maybe a little more so who knows.
Yes. They sold OG Xbox at a huge loss and 360 at a modest loss... One was in the black at launch
Phil already say they will be more powerful.
No way they gonna launch a box more expensive.
3 things turns Xbox One down: Less powerful, more expensive, always on.
Also, Game Pass can hold money loss.
I really doubt Microsoft launch a more expensive console again.
If more Scarlett / Xcloud console they can sell, more Game Pass / Gold they can sell, more money they earn. And they have Windows 10 too.
For me is already locked, Scarlet will be more powerful with same price, and Xcloud box will be less expensive, and can turn Xbox One Family into Xcloud box.

Launching nwith a streaming focused device aimed at the low entry level let's them put up another $499 box with all the bells and whistles
I expect 3 skus. Streaming, 1080p and 4K
CPU will be the same between them all. GPU will be different.
be crazy if SSO had an update and they made BR in secret to launch with the pc release and then as a free update for the xbox version LOL
Where is this Xbox 5/V coming from? The next Xbox will be the fourth console generation for Microsoft. Even the Xbox One X is an iteration of the XB1.
Be that as it may, I very much doubt the next Xbox will be announced at E3.

hmm. Wonder if they're going to do some late DLC or something. Who knows.
I would pay even more than $500 for a cutting edge piece of hardware. They could probably even get me for $700 if it was truly a beast.
