I keep wondering if DLI came about not because of controllers but through research in VR headsets... simply because you don't notice latency issues so much through gamepads but you sure as shit notice it on VR helmets

All aboard the Hype Infinity - Xbox 20/20?
Let's go!
Hope it's not too late to grab my spot!
No, especially not on ESPN day time TV in July when there are no sports on.
Then continue to stay concerned for Xbox to not rise to the occasion for their E3 replacement during the same year they're releasing new console/s for the next generation. Xbox either executes well or they don't. They know what time it is.
Only thing I can imagine is official price and preorders, I dont think they want to delay it much longer when Playstation intends to have theirs up after the June 4 event. Also based on Phil's words I think they will attempt to at least price match the PS5.
For example there may be people in doubt that want to choose one of the two, and when only one is available they go for that one first.
That's all. Not concerned in the sense that it will break my heart, lol, but in the sense that this is my favorite hobby and I want who I feel is best suited for this to strive going forward. I feel good about what they will have, all I offer is what I'm sure many people feel though.
All I'm saying is Xbox knows this. LOL Hence why I think it was good thing there was negative reception towards their last Inside Xbox despite the fact the presentation was fine, but the timing and messaging set people up for AAA next gen and gameplay expectations that the trailers didn't offer.
Same here. We've had to put together some pretty crazy shit during this pandemic with no budget and no time. If we can do it, I have no doubt MS can too. Looking at what they did for Build, it seems like they have the capabilities.
Probably just because its the only thing he could find that alludes to it being Xbox. That or preorders go up?
I doubt we get a price or a date.
Phil already said (when talking about the Games Awards reveal), he felt it would be weird to show the Xbox Series X without a game (I believe he used the word "tone deaf"), so he showed the Hellblade 2 trailer.
I imagine price will be announced after the July event, and thats when preorders will go up. They probably want to wait for Sony to announce the price of the PS5 as well.
So definitely not this month.
If I had to take a guess, IGN and other smaller outlets go through the Series X, the UI, the new storefront (which is coming to Xbox One), mess around with various games, show off some backwards compatibility, quick resume, controller impressions, xCloud, etc.
Seems a bit whatever then since we saw much of the meat during the hardware breakdown and hands on many people got.
I do like a white glove Major Nelson for the closer to launch hype unblocking video though.
I agree, coalition and 343 are huge and talented. Arguably the only / main criticisms they have had is the handling of an existing property and how it contrasts with the predecessors.
Would love to see them get let loose on a new IP.
Wow good call, totally hadn't thought about this. We know they have collaborated on a recently announced headset with HP. Maybe it could have something to do with that?
It just seems odd that mere months ago, Phil Spencer said they weren't interested in VR and tried to set expectations in that regard.
Yeah, this one seems to be the safest prediction. They must have an idea of where Sony is looking in terms of pricing. Interested to see whether they're able to match the price despite being the more powerful console.
If they're able to achieve that, it would be pretty nuts. Though I expect it to be about $50 more.
LTTP, but:
1. Banjo-Kazooie
2. Fable
3. Perfect Dark
4. PGR
5. Shadowrun

Kameo, (RC) Pro-Am, Brutal Legend, Iron Brigade, Viva Pinata
PS5 event has been delayed. I honestly respect the decision as they have very little to gain from delaying other than dodging any negative press from holding their release (which I can't imagine would happen).
Although the delay I believe helps Xbox, the smaller the gap between Sony's event and Xbox's event, the better.

Only a bad event from Sony helps Xbox. Anything else doesn't.
The gap doesn't matter near as much as the quality of the presentation the Xbox Team makes in July. That will be what determines the direction of the narrative they've been trying to massage since December. PlayStation is very likely going to make some solid strokes with their presentation, Xbox has to bring its A-game.
Huh, wait...Thursday isn't happening anymore? I don't see it on the front page.
What if they announce lockhart and price but don't announce series X price? I could MAYBE see them do that
Microsoft is going to have to show something either really new, or really impressive with their full Series X reveal.
I don't think it will go well if it's something like PS5 with Silent Hill, Horizon 2, "Some Japanese Exclusive" and a Naughty Dog tease versus Forza 8 with better graphics, the X1X version of Halo Infinite with faster loading, a port of Gears 5 running at 120FPS, and a quirky AA-budget game from one of their new studios (think Bleeding Edge or Grounded).
I guess I'm trying to keep my expectations low since Microsoft hasn't really pushed a big "system seller" game since Halo 5. Even Gears 5 last year was handled super weird with the multiplayer-only demo and refusing to show the campaign (which by most accounts actually ended up being good???).
Fable and Hellblade gameplay would probably go over well.

That doesn't make any sense though. The whole point is to compare the price of Lockhart directly to the Series X and show how it's an entry level option.
I think a re-imagined Perfect Dark would do this. Maybe something with a bigger focus on espionage and stealth since Agent Dark is a spy after all.
Would love to see a big AAA Perfect Dark where you visit multiple locales doing spy shit.
I imagine that there is going to be something for 'all gamers' there. However, their tentpole franchises are going to have to show promise. Hopefully something new that appeals to the imagination. We are going to get Halo, Forza and perhaps Gears, but we need to see others elevated to the stature of these franchises.
Yeah graphically some of their games are going to be held back by the Xbox One, which is unfortunate. I'm hopeful that they'll showcase some stuff that will be XSX exclusive and can wow graphically. They need to show off that power, this gen should've taught them they can't rely on 3rd Party to do it for them.
I think Obsidian's new game is going to be XSX exclusive since I expect that will be launching sometimes after 2021 given how long AAA RPGs take to make. Perhaps Fable as well.
Come on now with this. I don't think anyone should have to tell you that it isn't going to be just this. Did you forget about The Initiative, Playground Games, Obsidian and so on? Whether their projects can be shown of gameplay demo wise or a short trailer with solely cinematics or some gameplay in there.....we don't know yet.
Shinobi is excited about the show, Klobrille said ab-so-lute-ly when asked if there would be AAA third party exclusives like a SO and Ryse.
July will be good.
While I have my doubts about that as well, we really don't know for sure this will be the case. Valid arguments have been made that this doesn't necessarily mean bad news, as valid arguments also have been made that it isn't really ideal.
I like that some games are cross gen because remember xbox messed up in 2013/2014 so they are not finished with the xbox one like sony is with their thing because after the last of us part 2 and ghost of tsushima it all full steam ahead. The xbox goodwill that they have from all these good pro consumer level things is awesome and i know we would like them to drop the xbox one and just focus on the Series X but they feel they atleast need to have some stuff both before the cutoff date in 2021/2022 This is my thinking though i could be totally wrong but hey having fun and playing games is all i care about.
It just shows how confident they are, that's the significance of the news
Sony made the absolute right move, respect to them. As for delaying or something helping Xbox or making their event worse, or anything like that, thats not true.
What makes or breaks these events, and these consoles, are one thing: the games.
If you show good games, everything is forgotten. Marketing blunders, silence, backwards compatibility controversy, etc etc. And I really think Sony and Microsoft will have great events with a lot of games.
This 100% won't happen.
I only say MAYBE as then it would allow them to have gone first on price. I don't think they will but they could. Come out and say we have a lower performance model at $300. Not that it's the best way but the way things are right now who knows.
I know, but a reboot helmed by Itagaki could do numbers. Anyway, it's all moot seeing as Xbox don't own the IP :(
Lol we'll probably keep seeing those comments until the Xbox event happens tbh. Its ridiculous.
Crazy isn't it? I mean we've had like seven years of Xbox doing not exactly the best they can. If anything I would say those times warranted having worries or being disappointed.
But now they have so many new studios, new games in the works, lots of things to look forward and a clear sign that Xbox isn't going anywhere, except up and we still get this weird nonsense. Sure I have my doubts too about a few things and we'll have to see how they unfold but overall there's more positivity for Xbox than negativity.
