Phil Spencer Announces X0 Xbox Conference — November 10, 2018
- Thread starter Rychu
- Start date
It is really their last chance before KHIII launches and they did confirm they were in talks.
As this is a event completely controlled by Xbox I doubt there will be significant leaks.
It's just weird because Sega already confirmed the game for a western release so why not announce that it will be on Xbox One if that's the case? It only helps. Announcing games later especially near launch is a mistake because by then, most people have their gaming plans set already in regards to what they're buying and playing.
I don't think Judge Eyes will be on Xbox One because it's a spin off of Yakuza and Yakuza isn't on Xbox One so why would they start would the spin off? Remains to be seen but my thing is that Spencer needs to get Japanese games day and date with PS4, not 15 months later like Nier Automata.
Hopefully, Xbox One owners get those Yakuza games and Judge Eyes because based on what I have played with Yakuza Zero, holy shit, the game is great and the story and characters is excellent so Xbox One owners would be getting a damn good treat.

In June they said Yakuza could eventually come to Xbox One. That isn't confirmation that it's happening but the hope is there.
Yeah, im aware of this already but all im saying is that instead of focusing on older games, they should focus on getting future games day and date with PS4.
I'm glad for Xbox fans they are getting more game announcements and more titles coming their way, it's been a rough last couple of years.
That being said, why announce so many games late in the generation? I'd imagine a lot of their development has shifted to next gen, which is the reason Sony hasn't announced anything first party since ghosts of Tsushima.

Phil Spencer kind of explained this. He said when the next xbox comes out, games will likely be playable on both Xbox One and the new generation console until it's not technologically viable to support Xbox One.
Their strategy is to keep you subscribed to Game Pass with Game Pass original games (or exclusive games that launch into Game Pass day one).

All these games will be playable on the next one of course. They have to keep Gamepass filled to attract more subscribers. That's why they need more studios.
We already know the time. 3 PM-5 PM Central Time on Saturday, November 10.
They're available on PC, scalable for any of their consoles (i.e. Xbox Scarlett will be able to push the games more once it comes out while an Xbox One will be able to just run it now) and they're more concerned with software sales and engagement than strictly console sales.
Microsoft is trying to decouple the idea of games locked to generations of consoles and give people on their ecosystem a library of titles going as far back as the original Xbox as things they can play whebewhe they want.
There will still be plenty of games at launch especially third party that are Xbox Scarlett only...but if you buy a new console we won't lose anything before
Xbone will play scarlet games natively until it's not possible and then streaming kicks in.
They won't lose gamepass subscribers on purpose, you can bet they will try to support the biggest range of hardware for their new games as well making the streaming app is available everywhere.

That's where their streaming service comes in. Can't afford an Xbox Scarlett and already own an Xbox One? Stream it to your current console.
Going to throw my prediction out there. They will announce scarlet and tease some details, with a release late next year. I've been convinced that new systems are coming next year and this event lines up nicely.
Microsoft sees console generations as something from the past. Every game they release now will be part of the Scarlet line up. That's why they don't care so much when it comes out.
Those were different times. The industry has changed a lot over the last 10 years and we won't be seeing spending -at that level- anymore.
Since we're taking a trip down memory lane; Here's the actual announcement of the Rare acquisition at X02;

Precisely this. Like how there are currently Xbox One X Enhanced titles I can easily see 'Scarlet' Enhanced titles for future games while making all current titles future compatible.
Same here, have a very, very good feeling about what they will do next with Halo. I'm hoping they take it to the next level in terms of open world combat.
I just don't see them announcing it right before the Xmas season which will directly affect One S/X sales. If Scarlett does come out fall of next year, then the earliest it would be announced is spring of next year
Same here.
My personal opinion is that the title they are using gives us a few hints as to their intentions.
Or rather, what is infinite?
in·fi·nite
[ˈinfənət]
ADJECTIVE
limitless or endless in space, extent, or size; impossible to measure or calculate.
"the infinite mercy of God" ·
boundless ·
nonfinite.
- mathematics
(of a series) able to be continued indefinitely.
NOUN
(the infinite)
a space or quantity that is infinite.
This subtitle has lead me to believe 2 things mainly:
Halo: Infinite is going to take place on a fully open Halo ring. A ring/circle being an infinite shape, there is no beginning, nor is there an end.
Halo: Infinite will not just be the next mainline entry, but will be the foundation on which all future Halo games are built. There will never be a "Halo Infinite 2", there will only be updates to Infinite going forward.
And I can't wait to see if I'm horribly wrong or right, cause whatever it is, it's gonna be big.
You may be right. I will say that the audience for these events likely already have their consoles... I'd see it impacting X sales more than S. Guess we'll find out Nov. 10!
I mean, I don't want to see them turn halo into a Destiny clone. If they want to release expansion packs for the story mode overtime and maybe offer free multiplayer maps, I'd be totally down for that. Avoid the destiny crap though.
This is part of the reason I believe Xbox One X will act as a cross over and by the end of next gen end up as the Xbox One OG.
There it is...and now the hype starts. are we gonna ride thehype train for this one? or maybe a hype bus?
We thought Microsoft wouldn't announce scorpio while announcing the One S and they did. So who knows.
The Scorpion didn't replace the One S though. It's part of the same gen.
They already said it was officially Halo 6, they just didn´t want to keep using numbers because at a certain point it sounds ridiculous. It´ll be an open world on the ring, though. Infinite is probably a reference to the many times words like Infinity have been used in the saga, I think if you want to make predictions you´ll have better luck there :)
Scarlet might not replace X, they said several times they don´t want to continue with the concept of generation.
As for the name, I think it´ll be Xbox 5.
1. OG
2. 360
3. One
4. X
5. Five.
They´ve had a problem to catch up to Sony in console numbers, avoiding using the same system for Xbox because it makes it sound inferior. Now they can fix it (plus, this is the same company that skipped Windows 9 LOL).
I think anyone setting themselves up for a next gen announcement will be disappointed. Announcing Scorpio and the S in the same conference made sense for two reasons: it informed people that another, more powerful console was a year away so people who purchased the S weren't caught off guard and disappointed/upset they didn't wait a year. It also potentially gave some consumers a reason to pass on the Pro and wait for the 1X.
The next gen tease at E3 this year also made sense since their message was to show they are in it for the long haul. Phil said as much during the Giant Bomb interview. He said that it shouldn't be a surprise that they are working on next gen hardware, but he wanted to show gamers that they were committed to produce hardware in the future.
Those announcements or teases made sense. Announcing another console a year after the 1X launches doesn't really make sense.
