By FootbalIFan Go To PostI just woke upIt was bad, very little gameplay shown, nothing too impressive.
What did I miss
Where do I find bullet points
Was it good or bad
Halo didn't looked impressive, I kept thinking they were showing the Xbox One X version and were going to switch to Xbox Series X version to show us how big the difference was but no.
By jjasper Go To Postfinally watched the 4K Halo video………………..so is that the One X version and the actual series X is coming with a patch with raytracing and stuff later?Raytracing is actually coming later via patch. It's the Series X version.
By LFMartins86 Go To PostIt was bad, very little gameplay shown, nothing too impressive....damn haha sounds like I'll need to watch it

Thanks
I said it right away. Xbox nailed the hardware but are failing with software. With Sony it's the other way around.
By DY_nasty Go To Postgood thing smokey went horseback riding instead of sticking around for this. must be incredibly nourishing for the soul with all that's going on in the world right now
That’s why he’s confirmed looking for horse property during the upcoming Houston game ehh? 🤔
The only "next gen" platform exclusive software I've seen that remotely interests me is GT7. The rest is a complete and utter fucking wash.

By Bungie Go To PostThe one minute trailer has some stuff in it that I don’t think we saw in the gameplay demo

Looks a bit better when you don’t have time to focus on the details. Thank god they didn’t just show this

If you’re not stoked on R&C, you have no soul

R+C sux ballz bro.
(It's never interested me as a game franchise)
By Facism Go To PostDoes removing the yearly option for a Gold sub make it more expensive now?
If they don't replace it, yes. It would make no sense though, because every single subscription model on planet Earth has an annual option. They're changing it somehow.
By Laboured Go To PostI can categorically assure you that there is no difference in asset quality between these two.
what am i looking at here? link to the video?

I’ve not looked at the screenshots in detail, but when I watched earlier it there were aspects of the trailer that I thought looked better than the demo. Maybe it was just the impact of the lighting from a different time of day 🤷♂️

@ me like a man, coward.
By Smokey Go To Post@ me like a man, coward.
You named your horse “cortana” didn’t you
its clear that the economics of game pass incentivize gaas titles, purple gaf needs to quit thinking swinging dick peter moore days of microsoft are around the corner
By aka Espi Go To PostNah Smokey deserves this. Rodeo’s a good guyRodeo was looking forward to Rare's game and it looked absolutely incredible so there's that at least
Yeah strange the game doesn't look better, Halo 2 Anniversary absolutely looks better.
Still looks pretty fun tho :/

Idk I'm being a cunt and I still think it generally looks good in motion and looks like it might be fun to play. It feels like it's not where it should be at this point tho.

still feel like there's something going on behind the scenes with it. need a jason schreier scoop.
the game has been in development for 5 years, predating the xsx. i never expected it to be a looker based on that alone it to have been rebooted at some point. ray tracing coming after launch indicates it's coming in hot.
it looks fine in motion, and it'll be 4K60. but 4 months out and this being the first time we're seeing gameplay points to something "off" with it's development.
Hasn't there been rumors about development problems? I remember hearing the creative director left the project at some point
By Laboured Go To PostIdk I'm being a cunt and I still think it generally looks good in motion and looks like it might be fun to play. It feels like it's not where it should be at this point tho.Eh. For all the fun we've had with the memes it still looked okay when played. I hate Halo, so I don't really care, but at least it's something.
Whenever those open world segments etc. are something fans look forward to is another thing.
The big question is about the timing of the rest.
Both Sony and MS have a relatively thin launch lineup, but can easily make that up due BC.
For MS in particular there were alot of question marks with the 2021 lineup, apart from the 3rd party things.
Sony got their 2021 titles with Demon Souls, Horizon, R&C and possibly GT7. One of them, except for Horizon that was confirmed for 2021, could still slip into 2020. We'll prolly get more about that with their next show during the next SoP in August. Also getting ready for that Silent Hill reveal.
While we've got no clue how far some MS games are. Hellblade, Forza, Fable, Avowed all had CGI or in-engine trailers. So they could be 2021, 2022 or even later.
Hopefully both of them will be more precise, but as I said we still got Sony with a SoP in August and MS when they'll unveil the Series S alongside more games.
I mean, it's not super advanced but it is clean looking and super smooth, which are underrated things in terms of visuals. But ya I think that RT features coming post release very much points to dev problems.

They surely had alot of struggles with key developers leaving and some people pointing at some point of reboot or at least a longer struggle.

I think I would have paid far less attention to the graphics if the gameplay itself actually looked like much of an evolution on Halo. They made it obvious that you're in a big open world, but made no effort to make it feel lived in.
By DY_nasty Go To Postso it should be good to go around the same time as Anthem?

Ya that's true. I was watching as a non-Halo fan and liking things like the hook, the hit-location based stumbling and the armour breaking off and then thought this shit should not seem novel in 2020.
And ya I have a grim suspicion this open world is going to feel like Destiny to navigate through in terms of annoying mobs standing around and there not being anything really new to do that we haven't done in 6000 hours of other GAAS games.
Given that all of the Xbox games are coming to MS Store and Steam etc., do we know if there'll be cross play across the board?
Very good thread imo. Main point being getting a maximum number of people onto game pass > people buying the new Xbox.
By /sy Go To PostVery good thread for ms stock holders
Partially. But what Slaenters / Era-ers want is not what the wider market is going for. But I agree so far for me personally I'm not blown away (by either console yet)
xbox game pass might be the only reason i get a console this gen if im being totally honest
or maybe i'll just get a PS5 with the 3 games ill buy for it over its lifetime that dont come out on PC

I do think MS's calculation is that a lot of the people who engage with their brand are people moving through their twenties and thirties who feel the same. They'll also be looking at the younger gen and see them as fickle content consumers and see the Gamepass as the answer to that.
It's easier to see the value if you don't care about a console winning a made up war. Gamepass PC is great. Flight Sim is back, Age of Empires 4 too, and you can even pick piecemeal stuff on Steam day and date. I'm sure MS stockholders would rather I get all this on top of a console, which I can live without for the time being.
