Xbox Game Studios |OT5| The Cult of Phil in the Age of Booty: A Case Study
- Thread starter Figments
- Start date

I never play MP but I might dip my toe in Gears' Arcade mode. I had fun this weekend. I'll mostly stick to Campaign and Horde. Interested in Escape as well.
The only smoke about Xbox having weaker hardware was by Game Informer and Matt said that at this point, things change all the time, but if he had to say anything, he would bet on Scarlett having a more powerful hardware, so who knows. I think software is what matters in the end, and MS seems to be trying to improve on this front (hopefully it pays off)
Hahahaha this is so hilarious, and so ridiculous.
Edit: the next Xbox could certainly be the less powerful although have had signs that have pointed it to being weaker or more powerful. I have doubts that they would push Phil out the door if Scarlett were less powerful, if that were true then PlayStation should have let go of mark cerney and the head of the PlayStation when pro ended being weak than the x.
This will be their second VR project I am guessing it's for a contract with oculus before they were bought.
I'm wondering if this is Wasteland: Frost Point (VR Battle Royale) or a different project.
This could be a next-gen Xbox game now, if MS acquired the rights for this one. Or it's still the same contract.

VR mode for Bard's Tale 4 maybe? It'll be cool (even cooler if Scarlett has VR support too)
Gears 5 is so good. Buttery smooth and beautiful, what's more to ask? Like the news maps a lot. Arcade is a lot of fun and there is a lot of room for adding features and events in that mode, like skins emotes and customization galore. Maybe stealing skulls by killing, who knows. If the campaign is up to this standard then ... just kudos TC. Well done.
Btw with gamepass ultimate you get the ultimate edition right. Anybody knows the Bonusses over the standard edition. Getting the ultimate edition with gamepass is also very good indeed.

Early access to the game on September 6, Ultimate Edition Character Pack and 30 days of Boost.
Okay this game will be Wasteland survival game VR ?
I always thought this job offer was for their next project Xbox Game Studios it was a Gaas.
This confirms that Inxile will have 2 team on Single Player RPG
Wasteland Team
Second team head by Chad Moore & Jason D Anderson
Guide the technical development of a next generation, multi-platform, single-player RPG with action elements.

I don't see this as an hard shift, more like a selection, instead of being the biggest racing sim focusing only on the sport part.
I was simply pointing out that GT Sport at launch was an extremely poor packet compared to the previous entries
God of War was a zeitgeist moment converging all the industry trends and turning them beyond which inflated the reception , Gears is not trying to do the same thing, it's reclaming its identity and shouting it proudly, which is, right now, the opposite of the trend promoted by the critics
I don't see any focus on numbers loot because right now there's no loot. From what we saw there's no hint about a diluited approach, the opposite, even if many in this thread are implicitely asking for that.
Plus Terminator and Sarah Connor unlocked.
Hmm, Multi-platform and not Xbox ,PC or Xbox family of Devices??
Gross. Hopefully they can start making games outside of their prior contracts as well. That's probably what all the staffing up has been about at these studios.
Not saying this sounds credible, but there have been legit things coming from there.
Still mostly useless as a source since so many rumors are fake.
Gross? Why because it's not an Xbox exclusive? If whatever this is ends up being is as good as their last VR title The Mage's Tale count me in. One of my favorite PSVR games this year.
Personally, VR chews up my insides and spits it back out, so it's unfortunately an experience I won't be able to enjoy :(
Because it's VR. I'd rather they do something I cared about, of course, then do something I will never play.
None of their games are "Xbox exclusives" anymore, and that's a good thing, imo.
I'm talking about the direction I expect the series to move in, but it's certainly good news if it doesn't have cards or classes or something similar that affects stats. A that point the numbers are just clumsy solution to the problem (which I'm not even sure exists. I think Gears generally communicates well enough).
There already are "classes" in arcade gametype in gears 5, each with unique passive ability and weapon upgrade tree. There are classes and Gear Cards, that can be used to add bonuses to your character, such as improving the damage of specific weapons, in gears 4 horde mode. Horde and Escape in gears 5 are introducing new characters abilities on cooldown, like electrical knife. However campaign won't feature any of this, as Rod said.
Health bars will definitely help on the later waves in horde on higher difficulties, when enemies have double HP, double damage ect

So I had the chance to meet Frank O' Connor at Halo Outpost in Philly on Saturday, and he got me even more hyped for Halo Infinite. I told him that the two pinnacle gaming moments for me were playing Super Mario 64 on a Nintendo 64 for the first time and then playing the first Halo on the original Xbox, as both were times where I was basically amazed at what video games can be. I asked him if Halo Infinite could give me that type of feeling. He said that obviously he can't promise how I will feel, but that the team's vision is the "spiritual reboot" of the series that has been mentioned publicly. He said that they want you to feel like you did again when starting the second campaign level on the original Halo after crashing in the Bumblebee and emerging into the open world for the first time, and he also mentioned the 1999 Macworld Halo prototype demo where people were asking whether it was real that you would be able to do all of the things such as driving a Warthog in a big open world.
i know most of us are thirsty for some legit rumours and all that but that aside why would anyone give oxygen to that shit rumour from 4chan....no wonder a rare poster in this thread posted it here...just some ridiculous shit
There are two threads that kinda debunk those horrid rumors
These 4Chan "Leaks"...What a pile of bullshit.

Playground games was really clutch for MS this gen, good racing games. Glad to see expansion.
Absolutely, but this is why I'm not sure the Gears IP was the good choice for The Coalition. Microsoft already has several games that sell well. What they need is games that are great commercial and critical hits, games that people will remember years after. I think The Coalition could do a game like that, but not with the Gears IP, because it isn't what they try to do with this IP.
This is really weird...
maybe Kait wont be the villain at the end of the game, i wont put it as a spoiler because maybe its just a dumb bug

So does that JD go around killing Gears?
I don't want to derail here, but why is it that every thread that relates to Xbox turns into an utter shit show? It gets tiring after a while to the point I don't see any merit in posting outside of this thread. I mean I don't see any of that kind of posting behavior in other threads, or am I missing it?
Until mods cared to keep order in those threads (Era's first 2-3 months), it was pleasant, but it slowly turned into what Gaf was: every Microsoft thread has half the posts shitposting and trolling with no consequence, whereas if someone posts those kind of things in a (say) Smash Bros. or Sony thread it gets shredded to pieces. Last year I had the not so brilliant idea of pointing out that threads shitting on Crackdown have like 10 times the posts than the one discussing it among players who actually played it, reporting all the "lol microsoft only makes shit games" kind of posts. None of those were removed, I got banned though. This was over a year ago. I occasionally get dragged into some discussion in those threads, still, but I learned better and started mostly avoiding those toxic discussions.
It's too bad because moderators and admins had a great policy at first that kept order in most themes and areas, but perhaps due to sheer amount of users and posts (many of them coming from the old place) it rapidly turned back into what was happening there, except they are extremely stricts in regards to certain social/political issues while thread derailing in many other situations is absolutely fine. I'm glad this thread exists because most other places on the Internet (or on Era, for that matter) are either positive because it's made up of misinformed Microsoft fanboys or negative because they're filled with shittons of shitposting, trolling, derailing and console warring. For people legitimately into Microsoft's hardware and software, this thread is a truly special place, but it's too bad this forum allowed the other threads to become increasingly more toxic without any repercussion to those responsible for the tone shift.
I see two possible scenarios for Wasteland: Frost Point. The VR team likely is just a few people within inXile, but it's still interesting I guess, even if I'm personally not interested in VR.
- The game was in development for quite some time already. It was maybe at a point where canceling the project wouldn't have make much sense, so they invested more resources to make it a proper first-party VR game for next-gen on Xbox Next and PC, like the job offer suggests.
- The project got cancelled. Instead the VR team is now working on a new VR project.

I think this is the second time a dev on the project has compared Halo infinite to the original game and also made comparisons to that particular 2nd mission. I'm so hyped..... Hyped :)
I wouldn't be surprised.
