thinks Halo Infinite is a new graphical benchmark
Phil Spencer
No. I'm fine with: They will buy whatever is cheaper at launch, like always.Fine, then they will buy PS5 because of word of mouth and everyone else is buying it. Better?
PLEASE MICROSOFT (and SONY)... enough with the CGI trailers.
I'm ok with him being interviewed by fans but the last person I would think of is iJustine.
When I think iJustine I think Apple.
Can anyone pull up the list of MS 1st part studios and map of announced games. Would help us set expectations real quick I believe.

How far along do you think Fable, Avowed, Hellblade 2 (the engine they'll use isn't even available to them yet) and Everwild (they don't even know what type of game it is yet themselves) are?
They can't show gameplay for games where gameplay doesn't exist yet.
I'm surprised we haven't gotten news stories of a development crisis with the XSX, because something just doesn't add up.
Xbox fans excited again? don't do this to yourselves, enough torment
Battlefield 5?If they don't have anything to show about a game, then don't show it. Simply announce a game and show gameplay/screenshots when it's ready to be shown.
What's the point of CGI trailers? Does it really make a difference? They spend money and time making a CGI trailer for nothing.
I've never heard anybody say that they wouldn't purchase a game because it's CGI trailer was bad.
Shill dispencer shilling. Nothing to see here.
You mean 9/10 core gamers. 9/10 casuals didn't even watch one of those events and they are the vast majority of the buyers.
People really underestimate word of mouth. That's the major reason Playstation and Nintendo are such strong brands worldwide.I picked a free newspaper the other day at my workplace and it had Craig and halo infinite memes in it so 8ts not just here.
Just like only Xbox fans can have an opinion on Phil. Its amazing how some criticism of self inflicted screw ups, can cause these pissy reactions. Its absolutely true they like to dish it out, but when its their turn to be ridiculed, they want to cry about being trolled or Sonygaf or change the format.Sorry, didn't know it was a cult and only verified members of said cult are allowed to voice their opinion.
Good grief. Everything wrong with what's going on in one post.
Leaks suggest there are serious developmental issues behind the scenes. If these leaks are true then 343 management clearly dont care about quality of their game.I dont agree that they dont care. This is a huge undertaking to develop this game for potentially 5 different platforms. All the information we have shows that this is a mismanaged project with expectations that were too high for everyone from the studio to the fans.
Also the 500 million number has never been confirmed.

InXile has one more game (VR so no XBox, unless...):I just made my own
DISCLAIMER: This is just from wikipedia. So number of employees may be inaccurate as the source years range widley. But should give us an idea the number of teams.

Looking at that I think we should expect announcements from the following:
1 from Compulsion Games,
1 or 2 from The Coalition
1 from the initiative.
1 from World's Edge.
I'm a fan of no one Tiny Tim..I love how fans throw this "powerful" buzzword on everything related to Microsoft.
I'm now interested in Phil his power level?
I'm guessing iJustine is getting a free Xbox Series X.
Can't wait to watch her "Oh my God guys!!!" unboxing video.
holy shit the comments on this thread are toxic
They fucking better have some event in August.
I'd even wager there are less things each casual looks for when buying a new console. Price being the first and foremost, maybe an exclusive game or two...and maybe what their friends are getting.So true, people on here think there is no outside would.. No one comes to gaming forums only a few.
Halo games used to impress people with it's graphics (halo 4 was the best looking X360 game next to gears of war 3) and many people thought halo infinite will be a XSX power showcase.
Sure graphics in halo games is not everything but if developer dont care about graphics in their game at all, it tells me they also dont care about other aspects as well. Why levels in halo infinite reminds me minecraft? Why everything looks so static? Why AI in this game is even more stupid compared to halo 1? This game is shaping up to be a totall disaster and I cant believe MS has paid $500 million for something like that.
Are you a fan? Because if not then shut your mouth and let actual fans speak.
Yes the majority are complaining about the visuals looking dated but for the actual gameplay and game itself everyones hyped since it looks more halo than the recent installments (including reach). More core halo than ever.
