I don't really understand this sentiment. Inside Xbox already has a certain connotation and I think people expect that it won't have much "new" content. They've confirmed that there will be enough content to justify the X018 name. That's really it.

Pretty much. Don't go into this thinking it's E3.

There is some cool stuff. But most of it is updates and new stuff for already existing software/services.

DMC5 would be enough for me but I'd love to see NG2 or PGR4 become backwards compatible.

Honestly? This event already sucks for me.

Sunset Overdrive isn't even Play Anywhere.

MCC isn't coming to PC. If it did it probably wouldn't be Play Anywhere either.

Obsidian is the only acquisition I would have cared about.

All we are going to get is gameplay for Crackdown which is nice but I didn't need an event to watch a gameplay trailer.

Rare is just continuing to make content for a game I can't care about.

FH4 will get more cars.

Game pass will get some games that already exist probably.

Oh wow amazing one game night get announced with a teaser and not come out for over a year after it gets delayed twice.

I have zero hype.

This literally is going to be a longer Inside Xbox with a game announcement and a port announcement that wasn't even done properly because it can't even use one of their premiere PC features that they have going for it.
Holy shit, fam!! I bet you're just a ray of sunshine and an all out ladies man, huh?

FS, this kind of pessimism should be checked.

Pgr4 maybe is locked due to car license
It's a pipe dream but god it would be great. It still looks so nice.

Some pretty odd posts recently. We have no clue what they're going to announce at the show, so maybe wait until after the show before to declare it a failure/waste of time.

Haha, I'm loving it.

Haha that's because you're enjoying watching the world burn while some of us want to put out the fires.

I have to be careful about how invested I get into these conversations.

From this point onwards I'm going to believe Klob was Phil Spencer all along.
That would be fucking amazing.
Makes sense. Klobrille said he knows what he does because he has access to documents. Phil Spencer had access to all the documents.

HYPE!!!

Gears of War underwear announcement incoming!

That moment when X018 is actually just a Xbox Fashion Show.

I don't really understand this sentiment. Inside Xbox already has a certain connotation and I think people expect that it won't have much "new" content. They've confirmed that there will be enough content to justify the X018 name. That's really it.

Everyone should really just take a look at the Wikipedia page for "X (Xbox show)" to level their expectations.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_(Xbox_show)#X01

I don't think there's any easy way to stop the rollercoaster at this point. People (including myself) have been sharing this exact same sentiment for weeks now.

"Most" doesn't mean "all"

Are you hinting @bluemanchugames?
Card games manufacturer

The idea is getting back together all the bioshock devs from all over the world?
"there was an idea"

What is with these hostile comments. I was kind of excited. Now I'm not. Do I have to only express myself if I'm excited?

Seriously you are acting personally offended ffs.

I mean, it's not on par with the old shows. It's that simple, really.

Just checked out the mandatory leaderboard challenge in forza horizon 4. 3 million people have been recorded on the board. Also 85% of players got the achievement that is awarded the race before the challenge so that should mean that FH4 has just under 3.5 million players.

And lot of Achievements are rare. Which is weird. 1000 G is very easy anyway. I got it 28/10. Exactly one month after release.

I see there you don't have no topic to talk about and forcing yourselfs to find anyone. Just to write something, because nothing is happeing now :D
This is the 6th post you've had complaining about this. THAT is the actual thread waster, not the other comments. Please stop

God damn, this thread is a rollercoaster everyday. Well at least we'll know what's up in a days time.

I still think Obsidian has a chance of getting an announcement at the show, since the others at E3 were also 'not finalised' .. honestly I don't think any of these insiders have enough information to know for sure, MS is sailing a tight ship these days.

Also Zhuge dropped a hint/tease .. Blue Manchu Comics..

3.5m players in one month isn't bad at all for an arcade-ish racer.

FH3 finally hit 10 million players after two years.

And GT Sport took 9 months to hit 5 million players.

Can't find anything for Forza 7.

Game Pass could see some cool updates if MS utilise their partnerships/acquisitions portfolio of games.

If MS don't announce that they've acquired Sega at X0, I don't see what the point of them having a show was.

I feel like Phil Spencer would have come out a long time ago and tempered expectations if this wasn't going to be similar to the X0 events of old. He's been pretty responsible about doing that in the past.

ZHuge has just now basically said what it will be. What he said is not on the level of previous X0s from what I can tell.

This is a longer Inside Xbox. That's it. I don't understand why that's hype.

Thats the biggest clue.

Maybe this XO is about showcasing Gamepass. Which is why the GP twitter is loading something towards XO.

I always said it, MS has to make some deals like Netflix did with other studios to enrich Gamepass.
That's probably more important than acquisitions IMO.

It may be important now but in the long term, they're going to need a steady flow of first party games.

That's why Netflix has massive increased spending on their own content each year.

Granted, games are different. I think Microsoft will continue to rely on getting indie games on the service and deals with other publishers like Bethesda, THQ, etc.
