Ah yes I love the AIAS podcast. Ted is an excellent host who really does a great job at getting the guests to open up about even the negative aspects of game development. Unfiltered is usually pretty good as well, but I think it's in spite of Ryan as the host rather than because of him. So many of his questions are oversimplifications (or too much of a "fan" perspective) for my tastes, but he's had some really great guests on who usually do a great job anyway of giving detailed and illuminating answers.
I think KF has a bias to the Xbox family, never ever see them praise anything Xbox related.
It's literally in the title of this thread.
Always love Ryan's interviews on Unlocked and Unfiltered. This will be great!
I look forward to Ryan endlessly asking Phil about bringing back Conker, Banjo, Crimson Skies (etc).
In all seriousness, I do hope Ryan asks Phil about the current state of XGS, as much as I enjoy listening to Phil, he never seems to get pressed enough on Xbox's issues with 1st party in interviews.
Hasn't Phil been pretty open about their issues with first-party? Either way, those issues seem to have been resolved.I look forward to Ryan endlessly asking Phil about bringing back Conker, Banjo, Crimson Skies (etc).

Price? I think.
Price or Is this coming in 2020?
Lockhart maybe?
We'll find out when they release the podcast.
I've only ever watched these on YouTube, so how "later" is later? Hours? Days?
JupDoesn't want to ship hardware without the "software platform" there.
Said he wouldn't hold it for any individual game, talks about Halo specifically. 343 is doing well but "don't think we would hold the launch of the overall platform for any individual game"
My take is that the hardware is going to be ready to go this year, and between certain 1P and 3P games there is likely going to be enough to launch, but I'll just say my personal opinion is that Halo isn't going to make it this year. That's not an indictment of anyone or 343, just a potential reality We'll see!

Well, trying to finish dev on a game as huge as Halo Infinite amidst a global pandemic is new. And this is not exclusive to MS/343, I think there are constant conversations and moving targets at all huge game dev companies right now. Where things will stand even a few weeks from now is impossible to say.Would be very disappointing, but not surprising. Leaning on 3rd party support wouldn't be a new idea for launch.

not going to be above 500$Sounds like $499+ is the goal, with them using other things like Gamepass, Backpat, etc., to better incentivize a higher pricetag
I mean they can sell the hardware with a gamepass and call it a day thanks to bc.Doesn't want to ship hardware without the "software platform" there.
