That they started talking about it is strange as well but come on what would be the reason to tease it already. Everbody know that it will come at some point but showing hardware you can buy in 2 years only ?
In general whatelse could we expect than a PC like console that plays new games ? AMD might give some hints this year anyway as they will announce their new CPU and GPU architecture with AI. What ever will be in the next console it is based on that but enhanced.
They did this because people were worrying about the future of consoles so they wanted to reassure fans.
True but now they need to continue talking about it as silence will bring back the rumors MS will leave consoles behind.
I doubt we'll get a 10 minute demo or something but they will certainly show a meaty gameplay trailer and give a release date.
I have so many games in the Xbox ecosystem that I'll always buy new hardware if it's backwards compatible, but I've stopped buying anything in the ecosystem. The only thing that could change that would be Microsoft showing a realistic plan for their console, not a side project or a Game Pass player. I have no interest in that. So either:
1) Do proper exclusives: Everything except CoD and Minecraft is PC, Xbox and cloud only. That is what I'd like to see happen and I would be all in on it, but it has 0% chance of happening, as they will port everything from 2024 and onwards, is my read of the situation.
2) Change the model. I don't know what that looks like or how it would work. It's fun to discuss a PC/Xbox hybrid or having multiple manufactureres and storefronts, but in practice I can't make it work in my head. If they can demonstrate something like this that seems realistic, I'll be all in again.
Another walled garden console where they port their games to other platforms is a dead end for them IMO. The market will overwhelmingly reject that.

‘Fallout’ FYC Panel Features Christopher Nolan Interviewing “Baby Brother” Jonathan About Amazon Hit Drama
Emmy voters who wanted to learn more about Fallout were treated Tuesday to an interview with EP Jonathan Nolan by his sibling, Christopher.deadline.com
'baby brother' ha :)
For me personally it's too early. I would of course still buy it but I'd rather go as long as possible to get the most use and value out of my Series X. Games aren't struggling yet like they were at the end of last gen.
true, but also exciting to hear what else they could be bringing in a closed console system orrrrrrrrrr maybe not so closed??? ;)
handheld 2025, console 2026...............................
No it's not enhanced and still runs at 720p, a remaster or official BC enhancement would be awesome.
Series X/S were first teased on stage E3 2018.
He's been super consistent that FF7 Remake isn't coming to Xbox any time soon.
FFVII Remake is def coming to Xbox tho. Especially with Square's recent change of heart with exclusivity.
Maybe it'll be like Series X and S again, except X is the console and S is the hybrid like Switch. I'd probably buy both lol
Before. and part 3 is day one on everything (if xbox still exists then lol)
It will, part 3 is only like 4 years away lol likely still a current gen game.
That's what I think will happen too, but there is still the chance that whatever deal Sony has for it covers the game until the full trilogy is out.
Sorry if this has been covered, but has anyone seen this?

Also surely 16 billion is way too low?
No chance of regulatory approval whatsoever.Sorry if this has been covered, but has anyone seen this?

Doubt it when those third parties will still be releasing on PS5/XSX for probably even longer than they kept releasing on PS4/Xb1. I expect the generation lines to blur even more. They have to for it to make sense for AAA budgets. Also if they want to take another serious stab at the console market, it just makes sense to do their own thing because releasing a console the same week as Sony for the past 2 generations hasn't worked, and it's not gonna be a third time's the charm situation.
16 billion is way too low and we really ought to stop giving random twitter users attention. that silksong person, this one, just... don't post it. it's irrelevant and fake 99% of the time.
if it had any deal, Square ended that asap after Rebirth (they ended their KH exclusivity stuff on PC too).
For control of essentially the entire PC market?
I dunno, when they're paying 70 billion for ABK, I'm not sure 16 bil for Valve makes sense. Maybe it's technically their valuation but surely the value of essentially controlling PC gaming is worth more than that.
Hey, Jason did say that:

well they didnt show cool gameplay on showcases, they specifically mentioned it was similar to previos game and they did not market it like a big game. what else could be done?
I too am preparing an offer to buy valve.
Seriously though, as unlikely is this is, just to happen let alone pass regulatory approvals, it's just about the only way the whole "Hybrid Xbox/PC/Steam machine" thing that people keep throwing around makes sense.
they've been saying that since 2021. the section that was showed from 2021 is also pretty much in the game still. they didnt define the scope that recently, no.
Can you remember whart it actually was ?
I watched the end of the showcase on youtube but it ended with Cyberpunk.
Maybe I missed the bit while skipping though.
I think it was actually 2019 where they ended on the Halo cutscene and said that it was launching with Project Scarlett.
Yeah the xbox would become a essentially a form of steam machine
Except no-one will see it, apart from the drunks parading the top deck of the local ferries lol
Those all gotta be photoshopped, that would be too much marketing.
I can't wait for people to manufacture reasons why all this doesn't count lol
I still have at least half of HB2 to go, so final opinions tbd, but I can understand the desire to see NT make a more gamey game with these production values.
I think Jedi Survivor is a good comparison. UE, very good looking game, solid combat, incredible characters, cutscenes and direction and set pieces. But the gameplay itself is more "fun" while still being engaging.
I think NT is capable of doing a project that does both. The deliberate choice of making a game with no UI for the sake of immersion is really what holds them back from layering in additional mechanics in Hellblade.
They can still have engaging puzzles with one button no UI gameplay (see: Cocoon) but if you really commit to that it has to be a deeper puzzle game… like Cocoon lol.
I expect by the end of hb2 ill be mesmerized by their talent and craft, but wanting something in a new direction and not a HB3.

There's something hilariously capitalistic about lasering a gigantic advertisement on beautiful natural landscapes
