Phil Spencer: We've heard you, you want transparency/authenticity. We plan to keep showing that way, next step is not too much of a wait (games)
- Thread starter Theorry
- Start date
Hell, I'd settle for the original game at this point. I'd love to go through it again and see if it matches up with my vague memory of it
There is a list a mile long I would rather they focus on before that lol
Interested to see what everyone at XGS is working on, seems like we won't need to wait too much longer.
In order of importance for me for game announcements that I hope happens and they show actual gameplay is:
1.) Turn 10 - Forza Motorsports 8
2.) Playground Games - RPG Game (Most likely Fable, but could not be Fable but a RPG)
3.) 343i - Halo Infinite
4.) New IP
5.) New IP
I really want to see something new and fresh with a AAA budget.

I loved that game. It was janky but I really enjoyed it and it's mechanics. Would love a sequel.
There's literally no down-side for adding a gyro sensor. It won't increase the price for us, it wouldn't impact the battery. It'd just add another option for those who want it. You don't like it, turn it off.
Speak for yourself. As primarily a shooter fan, thanks to Halo back in 2001, I'm frustrated to no end that MS isn't taking this simple step to improve the experience.
An app with better video and pictures for their games and products would be awesome. Really like your idea.
Forza horizon - 85
Forza horizon 2 - 86
Forza Horizon 3 - 91/86 (Xbox/PC)
Forza Horizon 4 - 92/88
Playground games hired insane talent for the second studio and their FH team did go from strength to strength. They haven't failed yet and i don't expect them to, even though the RPG will be the second team first game. I don't think we have to worry about anything with PG.
Proof it.
This is exciting for me, because i think the new UI is decent and i like the idea of us consumers not having to wait a few years for folders. Having a good base in terms of features is amazing.
Tuesday May 12, let's go!
Very curious to see how Forza 8's multiplayer is improved after the excellent Forza Horizon 4 (which we still play every thursday night two years later). Brian Fargo's team will probs unveil their next project after Wasteland 3. Playground's open world project... Psychonauts 2 deep dive... Et cetera. Should be a great show!

I'd like to consider Playground Games as XGS's Guerilla, a studio that is experienced in creating games in one genre slowly transitioning to a new generation with a new genre to expand their creative freedom. and I loved Horizon, cant wait to see what Playground can do with an Open-World RPG like Fable
While you might be right we honestly don't know how it would affect battery life. And we saw with ds4 how poor battery life can be very frustrating and lead to the classic "just buy an extra controller" , for me battery life and other features not yet present take lead over any want for a gyro.
Having played FH3 and FH4, I'm sure their output will be quality. They are now a premier studio for MS. No better way to transition to a new genre than with a new generation.
Curious though, is this really viable for a Japanese dev to say yes to? I know it happened a few times during the 360 era, but that idea has been basically rock bottom since the XBO came out. The only thing I can think of that would of fit this bill during the XBO cycle was Scalebound but that got canned.
It depends on how they market the game and what the japanese devs are being paid to create it. If it's made with the expectation that this will be a title that primarily sells in the west than the budget will reflect it and if the Japanese devs are compensated then I'm sure it's viable.
I hope we see less third party exclusives for both fronts this gen, I'm ok with first party since they give their own flavor to each system and most of the time are given a wider creative freedom.
Marketing partnerships should be the way forward (a la Cyberpunk 2077 with Xbox) but less complete or timed exclusives.
The DS4's battery issues have more to do with the light bar than anything else. The Switch Pro Controller has gyro & has the longest battery life of any of the current batch of controllers.
Yeah, and it makes it especially infuriating that you can't just turn ofd the light bar.
The DS5 seemingly has a larger light so I hope the battery has been improved.
Wel they did want more Japanese games so wouldn't be surprising.
Hopefully they let you turn it off and also, haptic feedback is probably way less power intensive than full on rumble motors like the DS4. I think if the new XSX controller went to haptic feedback that it would also save more battery life there as well. But yeah, gyro really takes up no power to controllers.
The touchpad would be a bigger drain than the LED for the lightbar.
i think you misinterpreted this. its a response to greenberg saying xbox isnt taking the summer off, to which this guy is just asking for a few days break.
poor guys must be working their asses off!
It has actual haptic feedback (as in HD Rumble, whereas Xbox One has a more traditional rumble motor) as well as NFC.
Microsoft is definitely hungry this time and thus far, their step by step revealing of XSX seems to be going smoother than Sony's awkward
Maybe something lower key like a fighting game. And yeah it's appealing if the right price for the devs. Exposure would be even easier to give the dev. Remember MS is not only paying for the dev but for maybe 5 million copies (random guess) sold too because it's on game pass.
I just look at game pass finally being in Japan and I don't think they're doing that because they want Japanese people to play mostly American games on game pass.

No. He is talking about their strategy and not doing console wars imo.
How many games used the Wii U gamepad in a Innovative way like Zombi U? How many games use the HD rumble on the Switch? How many games use the Xbox rumble triggers? How many games used the ps4 touchpad for more than another button?
I am a bit frustrated when it comes to controllers and at this point, even though developers should be free to do what they like imo, Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft should either demand the use of the controller features or come together and set a baseline come next next gen for controller features, which are the same across Switch 2, PS6 and Xbox so more developers want to use them.
I am not able to make threads yet sadly, but i think having a discussion about controller features and how the industry could fix issues regarding usage of them, could be interesting.
I like the new DualSense features, but i can understand Microsoft, because usually developers as sad as it is couldn't care less. As an result their focus seems to be adding features everyone will enjoy without developers needing to do anything like low latency or the share button.

I was all for new controller features in the past, but being an owner of all consoles showed me every generation that most developers couldn't care less about these features.

GDC released an Forza Motorsport/Turn10 talk on YouTube with interesting information. Obviously nothing concrete for FM8, because the game isn't announced yet. But they talk about their mistakes, small tidbits about the future and their art.
Art Direct for 100 MPH: Balancing Visuals with Performance for Forza Motorsport
In this 2020 GDC Virtual Talk, Microsoft-Turn 10's Matt Collins discusses the process of creating art assets for a game that needs to run at 60FPS while play...

To say that the devs couldn't care less isn't true. Here are a list of games that support gyro aiming on the Switch:
Sorry for getting this entirely off topic in this thread.

The list for gyro surprises me. Will eat my crow for this feature. But i still feel other controller features aren't used very often :/
That sounds like my story. I've never understood it but my wife loves Fable. I didn't tell her yet about next gen, though.
I need forza motorsport 8 now! Turn 10 spoke about there new skyboxes...compared them to red dead 2!
although I'm a PlayStation guy myself. I miss the general friendly yet competitive rivalry that XBOX 360 and PS3 had. I'm waiting for that to kick back in. so excited for the output of the new Xbox Studios.
To be fair his comment could be interpreted that we won't see this technology for years.

This is super interesting.
They are addressing the exact things that have been an issue in FM visual presentation especially with regards to gamma corrected lighting, BUT I don't understand how much of that has been their workflow for the last few games (in which case they weren't always 100% successful) rather than their workflow going forward (which would make me super excited for FM8)
