I'm not talking about a full reveal. Just some tidbits here and there while we wait for E3.

It's a good thing they've got 11 more months and multiple events to go then, eh?
11 months? Let's assume November release. Now we're down to 9 months. 9 months to release a console that I assume they want to perform better (commercially) than the Xbox One. They need to keep the hype train moving. Keep their foot on the gas. I liked their aggressiveness at the end of last year, announcing Everwild at X019 and Hellblade 2 with Series X at TGAs. But it want more.
I'm pretty sure Microsoft has a plan, one that they've spent a fair amount of money and time on.
It's next week and if other rumors are true .. then they start their train right before that event.
EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!lol
I'm getting lost with all these rumors. Which event? Sony one? Others?
yeah that one. im trying not to pay too much attention on all of them, but only when they come from the usual people who have a good track record.
Gonna need a source for this one, I'm definitely interested.
They will come.
It's not like the moment MS publicise all this stuff everyone will go 'eh, you didn't keep me interested for about 3 weeks earlier in the year, nah'. This constant appetite doesn't need constant sating.
Speaking of, who is publishing the Vanquish / Bayonetta remasters? I'm assuming SEGA, but I don't really know.
Me too, but I'm not expecting anything before E3 to avoid disappointment. That and I don't want to lose my mind like some people around here are waiting for the February Sony event that will never come.
Yup. MS will spend most of their marketing budget on E3 and then the months leading up to launch. We shouldn't expect an evenly spread amount of information through out 2020
We'll get hardware info prior to E3 and price/launch date at E3. MS has leaned really heavily into the idea that E3 is for games and I believe we'll have a hardware event prior to E3 that shows off the console in more depth, demos some games and details some improvements/enhancements to the controller while also showing off the UI.
Does anyone else think halo should have its own yearly event. A Halo-con. I think they definitely should. Halo is big enough that they could do it even when there isn't a new game coming out.
This year I for one would love to see an hr of gameplay at the reveal but that obviously wouldn't work at e3 or xsx reveal.

Right,. they can show off the console, specs and price.. then have maybe 3-5 select games to show off the power/capability and then end the show with, "just wait till you see what we show at e3 ;)"
Yep I think this is right. Might also get a little bit at GDC if we're lucky (xCloud news?)
We know Turn10 has a dev doing a presentation on ray tracing so it could come before then so nothing new leaks during that.
Tom Warren teased an event in the Spring but GDC ends before astronomical Spring.
Yeah, isn't better to just say "Why are you skipping Xbox?"
Yeah, I'll wait before I back this
That's what i would also see happen, shorty before E3 or after. I mean i understand there is alot of intrest from a lot of people for more info. But in the end you have to get the hype that attracts the casuals with a new console generation. And the casual's attention span today is shorter than ever. Even more when your competitor also getting ready to aim for the same target.
And let's not forget, Microsoft has shoot themself so many times in the foot this generation. They will be cautious. Crackdown destruction, endless delays and never delivered on it's promise, content lack for Sea of Thieves at launch. Missing polish on SoD2 and We happy Few, canceling of Scalebound, closing of studios, cancelation of VR and a overall lack in comparrison to previous generation and competitor. That stigma sticks at the brand still in many minds. Like the xbox have no Games, they buyed studios and now changed to xbox only got AA Studios/Games etc.
It was important for them rebranding themself over the last years as a game company again and not a company on their way to the exit. But i can understand that as a company they just go with the speed of the other (sony). Because now you have that game between xbox and playstation were they got the same cards to play from AMD. That will also play a role into the silence from both in regards to details. Because these details makes the diffrents.
For GDC i would gues Micorsoft just gives more info on Gamestack and their Developer Ecosystem they build out strongly, one from microsoft has also a talk about matchmaking ai. In the end that's the audience at the conference. Maybe something prior to E3 for the hardware, but i would say in a 1 month windows around E3. Because even AMD is super quite with ray tracing and big navi and they have Nvidia infront of them that are about to make their next move this year.
I don't usually donate to game Kickstarters unless I really want to show that the support exists, and if the Wonderful 101 remaster actually commits to an Xbox One version in its stretch goals I'll probably pitch in. But considering the Ps4 release isn't until half a million, I'd be pretty surprised if it happened even if they did commit.
It's just a prepurchase for games that are otherwise very niche.
This is more for gauging interest then actually funding the game. I think regardless of how the Kickstarter went, the game would we be coming to Switch and Steam. The Kickstarter is just a barometer if they should bring it to anything else.
Unless you think it would only cost $50,000 to Port the game to Switch.
Okay. So if it's just for gauging interest then I'm assuming they'll give the money back afterwards?
What are they doing with that $500K for the PS4 version if not for funding the game? There are other ways to gauge interest than begging for money from consumers.
It's already 250k, i can see 500k+ in less than a day lol.
You do know that backing games on Kickstarter basically works as a preorder system, right? If you pay the required amount, you will get the game when it launches.
Yes they are begging consumers for money, but it's not like we're not getting anything in return.
There are some people who give them far more money than they need too, but that's their choice.
I've only backed one kickstarter myself (Yooka-Laylee) and I will probably sit this one out.. Now, if Astral Chain got a Kickstarter I'd probably back it.
