Aaron Greenberg: No business or hardware news at Xbox Games Showcase. All games, ~1 hour long.
- Thread starter digitalrelic
- Start date
I doubt anywhere past August. They need time for preorders to build.
I'm hyped for this, but I hope the rumored August event comes sooner rather than later. I want to pre-order the damn thing dammit!

That's coming in August. This July event has always been about games. It's called the "Xbox Games Showcase" for fucks sake.
We have seen how the is is in action? What other features the console has. As far as chat? Like discord? Or a improved LFG system? Or any other features.
I am not complaining about games being shown. I am disappointed that part of the info seems to be held back again.

I really hope Halo: Infinite is the first game they show. They shouldn't save it for the end. Everyone knows it's coming, just show it right away. Save a surprise like Fable or The Initiative's game for the end.
I feel that the purpose of a games console was somewhat lost along the way...
You actually play games? Lol what a nerd. I just buy the consoles as decoration for my living room
if you have an xbox today, then voila, you now know what the os on the series x is going to look like.

I mean, it happens all the time. Even very recently with Nintendo with Metroid Prime & the Breath of the Wild sequel and Sony with TLOU II, Ghost of Tsushima, Death Stranding, FF VII Remake, etc... It's pretty common to reveal games years ahead of their release dates. Wouldn't shock me to see a few games that are next-gen exclusive.
If you are an Xbox Insider, you can see the OS changes by yourself. It'll just be faster on the Series X. ;)
The Series X will have the same OS as the Xbox One.
The only thing I'm worried about is the duration. 1hr isnt really long enough for the content I'm hoping for.
Halo Infinite - 10 minutes maximum.
Leaving 50 minutes.
Sony's was 74 minutes, give or take...and I felt that that event needed more content...and no single game dominated like Halo will.
Let's say each trailer gets 3 minutes. That's 16 games, maximum. 17 including Halo. Not enough, for me.
25 games please. With 20 showing gameplay. Maximum 5 story/teaser trailers. 10 first party.
I need wall to wall games at this event.

The purpose of a game console is to play games and what differentiates itself from other things are the features that it has everything we can play here can be done on a PC so there better be a good reason to get one apparently. I'm planning on getting the system but I would like to see what other feature sets it has. I'm sorry if this offended you all.

Wrong. The OS interface is being updated on both Xbox One and Series X. It's not out yet.
The person making the original post was quite rambunctious but do people really not understand why the lack of any news outside of games might annoy people this close to release?
Look at the price, for instance. People need to budget for stuff ahead of time, and whether the Series X is $400, $500 or maybe even more is kind of important in letting people do that. Same goes for the release date; "Holiday 2020," can mean anytime between the start of October and Christmas, and that could make the difference in being able to save up for this on time or not. Hell, we don't even know if a crucial pillar of Microsoft's console strategy this gen even exists, and it makes one wonder whether Microsoft is actually going to spring an entirely new revision on us a few months before releas.e. Who knows, really?
Games being shown is great, but when you really don't know all that much else about the platform you're going to be playing those games on it can get tiresome, and I don't fault people for complaining about it.

they have shown the indie games earlier. Now its time for first party and 3rd party big games.
So no price or date? Bummer but I guess they're waiting on Sony. I just want one of them to announce price, date and pre orders before end of the month plz.
but I'm stoked to see the games!

They've already shared a TON of info about what the Series X can do from a technical perspective, and from a features point of view. Like every few weeks they're giving us more and more info.
Literally just yesterday they released an in depth article and video about their Velocity Architecture. Today they revealed full backwards compatibility, and xCloud support at no extra charge to GPU members. I don't know what other features you're waiting for.

Both will be in August based on what's been rumored
Jim Ryan has an ornament just for you. You might need to build an extension, mind. :)
For me, the prime reason to get a console over a PC, is paying 500 bucks for it instead of the whatever high price the PC has.
There was obvious confusion around what was going to be announced because if not he wouldn't have actually made the statement today. Don't act like it was completely obvious all of a sudden. Just because it's called the game showcase doesn't mean anything else couldn't be shown, What happens if they actually talk about Xcloud or something along those lines, holy shit they're not talking about just games then are they?
