I wish they would announce at the showcase and release that same fall like FH5 but it's probably too much to ask lol

Grubb: "I've heard some stuff might be happening with Gears 6 this summer"
This gen. Very few games have delivered that "next-gen" moment this gen, as we had an exceptionally long cross-gen period. Much like Gears 1 was the moment on Xbox 360, so should Gears 6 be for Xbox Series.

hey there were a lot of good games (dont disagree with consistency tho)
Lowkey im expecting the campaign to be 30fps, but with 60fps multiplayer. UE5 games are heavy.
Well yes, I expressed myself wrong. I was referring to AAA games, graphically impressive with great gameplay and story. In addition to Starfield and Halo Infinite, it's been a while since we've seen a game with those features on Xbox. Once COVID is over and leaving the previous generation behind, this generation is picking up speed
Yeah, I really do think that MS definitely has the power to really knock a next gen console out of the park at this rate in terms of an early games library. Although I'd argue that's been a given since last year when they've actually started showing off the projects they've been cooking for years now
Yeah, that's basically how I feel. I don't care if they have an option for it but please make the game 60fps for the love of all that is holy
CoD on Game Pass will have a more significant impact than any upcoming first-party release, to be honest!
Hellblade has me worried it looks incredible but we know what the cost is. That plus Jedi Survivor, DD2 and FFVII Rebirth being the bigger of the actual next gen titles releasing with either poor image quality, 30fps or somehow both has me concerned. I believe in the Coalition but the evidence on the hardware also speaks for itself.
They're gonna go for 60 FPS. They would have over 3-4 years of optimization work between them and Epic to get there. It will prob be 30 and 60 options for campaign and 60 multiplayer.
The Making of “Alpha Point”—UE5 Technical Demo | GDC 2021
Catch the public debut of Alpha Point, a UE5 technical demo created by The Coalition to evaluate UE5 on the Xbox Series X/S. Hear what the team learned as th...youtu.be
Taken from the Coalition tech talk in 2021 on their Alpha Point demo:
This is probably what Hellblade 2 is targeting, more or less. It's possible given the average FPS for this *demo* was 46 FPS on XSX that *maybe* they could squeeze out a 40 FPS mode, but who knows. This demo didn't really feature a whole lot going on and wasn't an actual game being controlled. It was also 3 years ago and who knows what version NT is on. UE5 is only starting or nearing a release of CPU and GPU optimization passes from Epic really.
But The Coalition is targeting 60 FPS:
Maybe it's bc I joined late but Jedi and Dead Space both looked and ran great for me. I played Jedi mostly in 30 fps mode tho
I loved it, but I'm a big BL fan and a big color-coded loot fan. It's definitely budget in some aspect, though. They reuse assets pretty heavily at times if that bothers you.
The other thing I'll note is that I was EXTREMELY disappointed in the DLC. I bought it on faith because BL DLC had never missed before and in fact it sometimes has better content than the actual base games! Hell, Tiny Tina's Wonderland was borne from BL2 DLC. But it was really barebones and basically just all reused assets with some added characters/modifications/stories.
I agree. Xbox is in no position to cut off a 35+ million userbase to try to sell their Nextbox.
Agreed. Several other games could also show that would float this Sealord's boat.
lmao shinobi just comes drops a bomb and leaves.
c'mon give us something else!! what about id software. is it coming!!
I get you're pessimistic, but things are not that dire lol. Xbox Series consoles will be easily above 40 million by the end of 2026
Probably more like 50 or maybe even 60 all being well, if the exclusives hit over the next two years (which they should).
60 million, I don't see it. MS probably planning to reveal the next Xbox a bit early, thus killing whatever momentum Xbox series will have in 2026.
Haha, well played. 😊 Kayakin' season is just around the corner up here in the PNW.
Xbox Series ain't hitting 60 Million. That's just not possible anymore. We're looking at something less than 58 million(Xbox One sales) with current trends. And that's assuming we're actually going to 2028.
I'm sure Welfare could shed more light, but hardware sales are bad as we all know.
I mean it's POSSIBLE, just perhaps very very unlikely. If 2025 and 2026 have like 10 AAA games between them at 88-92 MC it could happen. If Indy is great and Blade or TES land earlier than expected etc.
Unlikely but not impossible.
Not even Microsoft themselves would project 60m. It's impossible on their current trajectory.
