Honestly I want to disagree, but a lot of interactions I have with Sony fans come down to this.

Xbox Global Publishing is a pretty big wildcard as this could be pretty much anything.
+343 to this idea.
I was going to suggest "Welcome back old friends" as a reference to titles like Halo, Fable and also as people who jumped to PS now come back to XBox. But this one is perfecet.
These days, very few games make people switch platforms imo. There are waaaayyy too many good games out with too little time to play them. People will happily wait until a game comes to their platform of choice or becomes so cheap that the cost is negligible. Best way to reach New customers is to go to them, not wait for them to come to you. Seems like that is Microsoft's strategy.
I feel like we had so many titles like that its gotten corny imo
That's true.
There are people telling me I should get a playstation for game X and I am like I would like to but i have a backlog and no time. Even sales are mostly expired already when I dare to have a look at it and when I buy a game it defintively will be unplayed for a while so I learned to just sit out most sales.
After chiming in the poll thread of which console i'd prefer, i got to thinking about potential skins for the series x. lol
so much potential for customization.

They can't really go to PS5 though and that's where most people are going to end up. This is their one big opportunity to change people's minds.
There will be Global Publishing titles in the mix too.
Never understood this fascination with new IPs - I definitely think a lot of the time it's purely concern trolling. People are pretty damn excited about new Spiderman, Horizon, Astrobot, Gran Turismo etc entries. Heck look at the Silent Hill thread - huge hype for the rumoured return of that IP.
Wouldn't it be something if Lockhart turns out to be the exact same specs wise as XSX, just without a disc drive? I realize the chance of that is second to none but it would be exactly like how Sony is gonna do it. And depending on price I might decide to get that instead of the XSX, since I barely ever buy a physical copy anymore.
But what would that do, shave off 50 bucks or so? I doubt only removing the disc drive would mean 100 bucks off.

i think as long as the messaging of lockhart can be reported and shared as something more powerful than the one x, itll be fine. right now with the rumored specs of it being 4tf, people won't care about the details and will cling on 6 vs 4.
Oooh that's nice. The first was good, but the Halo tie-in makes it better
I think this would disappoint me more than a poor showing for Halo, to be honest.
Still dont think that PD will be present, and if it is it will be a small CGI teaser trailer, no way they already have gameplay segments ready to be shown.
Humm, I don't see that way.
While I don't believe in this negotiation, let's suppose this happens.
Probably we could get a next installment of KI with a very unique approach. Today, more than never, we have some solid guide lines for what a KI game should need to have. There's a identity for this game.
So, since Netherrealm use this guide lines, we could have a great new game, high profile one I say.
Oh I see. I wasn't even aware of the specs. I just didn't care all that much for it. It certainly is interesting if it's weaker in TF, but it has been argued by some that TFs aren't the end all be all. Like you said, if they bring the message and probably proof that it's better than One X it should be fine.
Fable is the worst kept secret in the gaming industry. I'd bet money it exists and we will see it in some form at the show. PD on the other hand could be just rumors and/or we don't see it at the show at all, although my bet is we get a tease at the end.
I know there was another thread discussing whether Halo opens/closes the show - and now, thinking about it a bit more, it seems like the best move is to close it out with a Perfect Dark gameplay trailer (in the vein of Watch Dogs from e3 2012). Make it clear that it is a next gen Xbox exclusive, and I think you have a hype way to close out the show.
Don't think even the biggest fanboys would get away with that, considering all we've heard since the PS5 spec reveal is that teraflops don't matter and that they don't tell the whole story (lol).
Yeah, if we suppose that MS somehow bought NRS, then I'm sure that they would make a great KI game.
But if Mortal Kombat came with this hypothetical deal, then it will probably take KI's place because it's so much more popular and successful.
The UI bullshit is especially funny given the amount of people that talk about "how great the PS4's UI is" and in the Sony thread majority of people have previously said that they hope they don't change it. Now it's different because the XB1 and XS will share a UI. Smh
Agreed
Give that man the team he needs to get the Xbox a Spiritual successor to Ninja Gaiden.
My most hyped game is probably Forza 8 as well. I'd like a proper racing game, and less of a driving one. Focus more on racing, AI, career development, the whole sport aspect of racing. A better lighting model and less saturated colors go a long way too. And better replays as well - if they can get the AI racing right and tight, then watching replays, editing videos, and snapping pictures are a great addition to proper racing.
To people saying they'd be disappointed if this or that don't make the show - I'm not saying lower your expectations, but keep in mind that even if some of your favorite franchises exist, it does not mean they will be announced at this show. I think going into it with an open mind is the best way, as opposed to going in ready to be disappointed if Game X isn't there.
For me, I know Halo Infinite will be there so I already know I'll love the show... but I'm easy to please. Just ask my girlfriend.

What we certainly know about The Initiative so far is that they are working on "new and old things" according to Phil.
Could be PD, or it could be anything.
Exactly. Halo Infinite and Everwild are more than enough for me.
You don't think FH4's lighting is good? FH4 often passes for photo real in shots. In terms of colour accuracy, I would suggest Turn 10's GDC talk on their art pipeline, you can see they go through a lot of work to get photorealistic colour accuracy and how accurate it is.
I really hope you're wrong. While I love and am excited for Halo, PD is what would make me the most excited.
they'll bring it back and also use "it's holding all of our 3rd party games back too"
Indeed, it seems many have already made up their mind about what they're working on.
There's a reason Phil phrased it the way he did.
I'm torn. On one hand, the mythology around the story is cool. Its an interesting world....both her mind and the mythology. The imagry is crazy in some parts. I haven't seen the end obviously but there seems to be directions they could take it in. I hope the gameplay is re-imagined however. Game is more enjoyable when I'm not doing the puzzles.
How far did you get?
Maybe they have incubated more than one game, as they did talk about doing some things differently in terms of game development at one point.
I'll speak for Shinobi. The truth is that Phil hating Blinx was just a ruse this whole time, The Initiative is actually a studio setup to revive the Blinx Franchise, they've already completed 10 games and are getting ready to release them all for the Xbox Launch. Xbox Series X is short for Xbox Series BlinX
👀
I'm sure we'll see what's going on inside The Initiative in December.
If Everwild is at the show I would be so excited. That game is giving me extremely good vibes.
With the massive success of Sea of Thieves (especially of late), I can only dream of how good a game Everwild will be. It looks gorgeous.
They want to be in gaming. Look no further than how they're set up after their restructure. That's a shit ton of employees to take on at once who don't own much IP. The way they've been expanding so far has been smart. Gives them a chance to cherry pick studios that are good fits with good leadership who they trust to give autonomy to. Taking on this much at one time would be difficult amongst all their other recent expansion and may result in a lot of the talent leaving.
I have no doubt that we're going to hear about The Initiative's game. That much has more or less been promised to us.
Everybody keeps focusing on the "working on new and old things" to mean an old game franchise built for modern gaming. I wonder if many have entertained the idea that he could have meant something else with that quote. Otherwise, would he not have said "old things in new ways"?
It would crack me up if all this talk about Perfect Dark was all completely misguided.
FH 4 is superb, but Forza 7 besides when it is raining the lighting is weird combined with saturated colours give kind of a cartoon style.
We don't know if it's still happening in June or not. Jeff Grubb suggests it might be moved to August now.
