Sounds like he's just speculating just like everyone else. We've known about Dante for a long time.
yeah from phil's interview it looked like there wont be any lockhart.....which will mean the xbox one x will be supported long enough into the next generation
This video actually gets me hyped for the game again. Gameplay looks good. The changes look good. Everything rod is saying sounds great.
They referenced hero shooters or MOBA's 3 or 4 times. I wonder if they are for escape only or will be in the other modes. I'd love to see some of that in horde and versus.
I think 5 will be just fine. They seam to be doing a really good job with it.
Dante leak/rumour was the Reddit one from a month ago right?
How do opinion work
Gears 4 had cool monster stuff but was bogged down by boring protagonists and even more boring robots
I disagree with that. They asked Phil if Scarlett was 1 model. Phil jumped around the question without answering it.
If it was only 1 model he probably would have answered the question.
What? What do people hate about Pokémon? I also can't really see Battletoads. Like I can understand not liking the art style, but I can't understand how the game it's self could be that offensive. I can't imagine doing anything more than going "meh" and moving on.
I just installed the App on my PC and through my Xbox One X I joined Ultimate. The App even in Beta form is fantastic. I downloaded a few games on PC and Xbox One that I was always interested in, but not enough to buy them. I always just buy my games out right and up until now never really thought of joining game pass, but damn I am sure glad I did. The only regret I have now is why I did not do this earlier. When I was going through the list of games on Xbox One, I bought at least 30 of the games on Game Pass and then started running the figures in my head of how much that cost and damn, it is an incredible bargain.
A few of my "PC" only friends are loving the app and the service and this is what MS needed to do for PC gamers. It is so refreshing to see a APP for games that is not crappy from MS and to include PC Game Pass was just great.
Ultimate is such a great value if you game on both console and PC.
With how turn 10 have been talking about the next forza I would be surprised if it was ready next year at all. In fact didn't they just say they didn't start development of the next one till a couple months ago? That would mean that forza horizon 5 started development before FM8.
Look I know it would be weird to have horizon 5 out before the next motorsports. But when you think of the fact that they put out FH4 in 2 years time while also putting out blizzard mountain and the hot wheels expansion. Their output is litterally nuts. They are also an ever expanding studio getting bigger and bigger with each release, which seams to allow for them to do more and more.
I see no reason why forza horizon will be ready for 2020. Fm8 looks like a 2021 title. It makes sense for Xbox too. Horizon and halo are their biggest titles(gears is up there too). So bringing their two biggest guns to launch would be huge. Both games are also very diverse so That would allow both to come out at the same time without hurting each others sales.
The motorsports series isn't doing as well so it makes sense for them to take a break, refocus and put out an amazing game. Horizon is fireing on all cylinders and doesn't need a refocusing.
Until I hear from Xbox/playground/turn 10 I'm gunna assume that horizon 5 will launch with Scarlett next year.

They're also replacing RNG loot boxes with more of a battlepass type progression and unlock system in Gears 5, which is good to hear. I just hope their currency is easy to earn through normal MP grinding and there isn't an abundance in of log-in requirements.
I wrote about that as well, here ;)
Sarah Bond is head of Gaming Partnerships & Business Development at Microsoft/Xbox. Different division. Since march 2019 she's also Corporate Vice President, previously since April 2017 she was General Manager.
There's also Global Gaming Partnership & Development and you could heard more about this earlier this and previous year when they were looking for some people for offices Japan, South Korea or China.
bdsams was writing about this in December 2018.
That sucks, I got to chat with him at a few Xbox events. He's really down to earth and approachable. He was on forums like us and a gamer, then in a twist of fate and the stars aligning got a job at 343. Really great guy. MS is losing a great talent.
ALRIGHT.
I DID IT.
I OWN A ONE X!
Yeeeehaw. Now that it's updating, what should I do first? Is it a good idea to go ahead and use those free Live Gold and Game Pass offers (14 days, 1 month)? Or can I get a better, cheaper deal some other way?
(the deal I got came with all three Metro games)
Get some Xbox Live codes and then upgrade to Game Pass Ultimate for $1 and save a shit ton of money.
will the free 14 day trial work?
edit: just found an explanation. dope. i think i know what to do. thanks for the heads up!
Not sure, but since the $1 deal is a one time promotion, you would get way more value if you upgrade a year or more (I believe the maximum is 3 years). Literally hundreds of dollars could be saved, not to mention not having to worry about purchasing any XGS studio game for the next few years thanks to GP.
A huge part of the Gears experience happens in co-op and PvP modes. You're really limiting your experience if you treat it like a one and done cinematic campaign shooter.
I can agree with this. But I'd also add that co-op in campaign is leagues better than playing solo.
I like co op but I would never play the campaign in coop before playing through it myself
That's where I'm at.
Gears 3 campaign is so good, and Horde is the best MP mode in the game. The PvP is cool but is more icing on the cake.
I play the campaign alone then i play it Co-op with my Brother....
Gears for Me is Just the campaign
Couldn't agree more. Whether their atrocious output was because of budget cuts or mismanagement , XGSP needs a serious kick in the ass and I'm hopeful the new guy can deliver. He's been there for a few months now so we'll likely see some good stuff next gen.
Downgrade? Where?
This clearly shows a transition to gameplay and i see no downgrade.
I don't do co-op, I prefer playing campaigns solo. Never played any halo campaigns coop( seriously paying attention to the story anyway) . I'm not going to play gears with co-op. But as someone who has never really been into the series( because I didn't have a gaming system for yrs) the campaign is what's going to captivate me. I never played a game online until 2017( again no gaming system and struggling financially for yrs)
And that game was halo 3. Still to this day play social slayer either on my 360 or one. For me, if I played it co-op my first time through, I probably wouldn't even try the mp.
I've never been a huge fan of gears. I like the games and enjoy them all but Iam not a fanatic so the campaign exclusion doesn't bother me at all, but I can imagine how insanely disappointing this was to everyone who is. I am a huge Halo fan and I'd be disappointed if this happens next year and they just show off a multiplayer mode. Being sort of an outsider in this right now I am very curious to see if this actually pays off and gears fans are happy the secrecy was kept.....even though I doubt it lol
Congrats! Yeah like someone else said, load up on some Gold subscriptions and then do that $1 to upgrade to Ultimate (assuming that offer is still showing). You'll end up getting Game Pass tacked on to your Gold. Your next year or 2 (depending on how many you stack) will be even cheaper than what I initially mentioned.
Enjoy!
As someone who loves gears primarily because of its campaigns, the e3 segment was sure disappointing. But I am willing to give them the benefit of doubt and wait for the release. Had there been no gamepass I wouldn't have gotten gears 5 at less than 50% off given how lackluster gears 4 campaign was.
It's a brand new area though. Last year showed different locations and I just hope all that remained in tact. Especially the lighting I love in the area with the robots where it's dark and a part where the seem to walk in a desert area.
its really weird how much of the game they showed last year vs this year. if i recall it was a long cutscene and then an ingame montage vs these prerendered trailers. i honestly assumed the game was going to be out before this e3 based on how they were showing it
You are being pretty shitty here. "Oh you like campaing more, must be because you suck at the game"
I've always preferred the campaign first too. I just suck at versus, I either get killed by a sniper or some Gears veteran that wallbounces like he's fucking possessed and kills me instantly. I do like Horde a lot but I guess me and my buddies suck big time because we can't even fully complete it on normal, lol.
Yeah i like campaing more too. Not great. At gears MP, but people preferrring campaing over MP doesn't mean it is because tbey suck. Some people just love SP games.
This did get a laugh from me. It's actually painful just how good the good Gears players are compared to the masses.
