Thought it would be showcasing a lot more than Halo, tbh. That's the failing franchise. There's an army of RPGs ready to make Halo look like the stunted runt of the first party litter.

Then there's Arkane. Just do a commercial with the Arkane logo, then Xbox and leave it at that.

Halo had to be in the commercial as when you see master chief, you know it's Xbox.

I thought it was a really well done commercial.

Its a really good commercial. Very sony esque.

I just wished they showed more games in it.

I liked the music. These live action ads for games and consoles always tend to get a shoulder shrug from me, because I'm just left saying... yep, stuff sure happened there. This one was no different.

It was slick and didn't make me cringe at any point so... success?

That's a cool fucking trailer! 😊
You don't always have to show games/gameplay (like some are craving).

Sony doesn't always do it either, and they've done pretty good, I'd say...

I liked it!

That was very visually interesting and although fun to watch, I felt it was a terrible Gaming Hardware trailer as it didn't showcase anything tangible

Baby being shot out the window during birth, develop into an old man through its flight and land into its grave is still one of the most profound, thought provoking game ad ive seen.

That is one spectacular commercial. Don't think it needed the voiceover at the end though. I wonder how often it'll air in its 60 second version. Good stuff.

Watching the advert and just realised that the Series X will be in people's hands and homes in under a month, have we seen any next gen footage running on actual Series X hardware yet?

Is this from a game we know about or have I missed something?

Also curious as to what game that futuristic looking city is going to be from, I noticed when he got to the top the mountain that the girl was standing on looked similar to the structures we've seen in Halo Infinite.

I assumed it was just generic "epic" imagery

I could see someone simply not liking the ad...but 'appalling'? Really?
Everyone has there own thresholds. It was so far from a gaming ad that if it wasn't for MC being their you'd have no idea what it was about until the text at the end that had to explain it to you.

Lol, what an appalling take. It's an ad designed to inform you that an new Xbox is coming out and create a sense of awe and intrigue.
I didn't feel awe at all, it was messy. The guy wasn't even gaming really.
