you may clarify what is talking about in the third picture? which "bridge" he's referring to? and what the hell is "eora"?
Eora is the name of the world in Pillars of Eternity. He's saying Phil Spencer was foolish to buy Obsidian and was tricked.

Hype tends to have a tumble affect. I'm pretty sure infinite won't come out this year but regardless they're still going to show it, and regardless people are still going to be insanely hyped for it. Spread word of mouth early and all that. They could, but idk if you aware of the general outlook MS has, sure it's gotten way better. But early hype could help give some more momentum to their underdog status and with E3 being practically theirs, what better time to combat that negative image when the whole gaming industry's eyes are on you.I don't get why they can't wait and do it next year and capitalize on that hype and excitement when pre orders will be available for their next gen console that would also be releasing the same year.
It's hard to maintain momentum if you hype things too early. You have to be strategic on when you reveal things and how to capitalize on it especially when Sony will be doing their next gen blitz all next year. Not to mention we're still in the current gen with a year and half before next gen starts so it's imperative that MS closes out strong.Hype tends to have a tumble affect.

No publisher is interested in such a redundancy, if this is the "plan" they will make sure that each one has an unique spin on the genreIt's interesting to think about how Microsoft would handle juggling Fable, the Obsidian project, and a likely continuation of the Bard's Tale franchise if the Chris Avellone/Obsidian thing is true. Can (or maybe more appropriately, should) Microsoft effectively support three first-person, fantasy RPG series?
Oh I see....Eora is the name of the world in Pillars of Eternity. He's saying Phil Spencer was foolish to buy Obsidian and was tricked.
Insiders only.
Gears 5, Ori 2, Bleeding Edge and maybe Halo Infinite, what else do you want?So are we likely to get any big first party releases before next gen? Our even not so big ones?
Oh ok. No idea what bleeding edge is. Forgot about Gears. Didn't think we'd get Halo before next-gen. Nice. That's good.Gears 5, Ori 2, Bleeding Edge and maybe Halo Infinite, what else do you want?

There is a danger for titles to drop away towards the end of a generation when preparing for the next.
I think theyll announce the new store and Windows Game Pass in their conference but deep dive them the next day in the PC conference, same with MCC rollout dates/flight programs.
Had Gold until 7/14/2021 thanks to free codes I've had sitting in my inbox. Had Game Pass until 6/7/19 so was kinda bummed it was going to run out. Spent the $1 as insider to upgrade to Ultimate, and now I have that until 9/6/2021...amazing!

But they need the mindshare. From all the stigmas Phil managed to dispel one that persists is that Xbox one exclusives are not worthwhile. Ms has until the next gen launch to rectify that, so it makes sense for them to go nuts this year (though they definitely need to go even nutter next year so I hope they made tons and tons of partnerships on top of the studio expansion)It would have way more impact and set the tone for next gen if you wait til next year and do it all at once at your next gen reveal blowout event. This year's E3 should be about closing the gen out strong for 2019-20. There is plenty of time before next gen without having to prematurely ejaculate. LOL
Yeah, I don't even mean announcing everything. But they need to show the games are coming. Of course, they need to show it will be even better in the future, but they need to start showing the results of all the investments and how that is translating into more and better games.I agree. I thin MS should go balls out and announce everything that will ship in the next 2 1/2 years. Some of the stuff will just be a title screen slide since it would be farther out, but just announcing the name of the game, a title screen and for games further along in the dev cycle a quick video. After all these years of Phil saying they are working on the 1st party games, it is time at this E3 to show all that work. I don't think they should announce or show anything that is 3+ years out, so the Initiative game would not be shown, but anything else they need to. With Sony out of the picture as far having a press event at E3, MS needs to show/prove that all the investments are showing fruit.
For E3 2020 they go more deep dive into the games shipping that year for the Scarlet launch and shortly after, with teaser stuff for 2021. While Halo & Gears 5 will be great to see, I think fans are wanting to see what all these new first party devs are working on that will be coming out in the next 2 years or so. Even if it just a title screen, I think that would go a long way. I always been a believer that you don't announce stuff that is to far out, but I think it is time MS goes out on a limb and show/announce stuff in development that will be out within 2 years or so.
I honestly have no idea... They have a lot of minds to turn, and I think have the E3 for themselves is a better chance at doing it than concentrating just on next year...
Surprises.Gears 5, Ori 2, Bleeding Edge and maybe Halo Infinite, what else do you want?
You don't think you'll be surprised by Bleeding Edge?Surprises.
Not a cop out, I want to see something I'm not expecting at all.
Oh, probably. Still, that's one announcement.

What games would you expect? My most anticipated game was a new Splinter Cell after one of the leaks suggested a "stealth game" and then MS remastering those 360 SC titles for back compat. I honestly don't know what to expect now. If I had to make a top 3 wild guesses it would probably be82% - TEN (10) World Premiere Never seen before games! - That are multiplats.

There's a bug that hasn't been fixed I think. I'm level 5 and above on 2 accounts and on Insider Beta, but I only get the option for GP-U on my level 8 account not the level 5 one (which sucks because the level 5 one is my main account :/ ).i'm trying and once i click accept i'm getting a "game pass ultimate is currently not available". hmmm

Also, Frank O'Connor reiterated that Infinite will be on XBO just last month.
I highly doubt 343 goes back on their 60fps initiative for Halo. They can still push a lot of other things and target a lower resolution and less details on XBO platforms if necessary and max everything out at 4k for next gen.Hoping it's 30 frames on XBO platforms so that it holds back that next gen CPU less. I still maintain it being a cross gen launch title makes the most sense, it's not that important to have a swan song on the XBO family but it is very very important to make the next box strong out of the gate.
If it doesn't work you can hold the start button and select "report a problem". Do this on the page you're having problems with because it takes a screenshot of it which you can describe in detail on the report page. I just did that now myself. Hopefully it'll be sorted soon.i'm level 10, but only signed up for delta, and i dont think its updated the dash yet. perhaps thats it? i'll try again later, or even try joining beta first

That's just not going to happen for a cross gen game. MS is likely more concerned to making as great a game as they can for the over 40 million Xbox One family owners and millions of PC players.It's just an easy way they can push the benefits of their next gen system harder/encourage people to upgrade without completely shafting them. It would also mean more complex game worlds and such. That doesn't necessarily mean the game would be better, but it might be.
i reopened the insider app and it says i did join. i think i clicked on manage and it took me to the xbox store app where it said it was unavailable. so, i should be good.If it doesn't work you can hold the start button and select "report a problem".

You need to go back into the insider app to the insider content and click the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and below manage click Show in store then you need to subscribe for $1 dollar a month to make it official. You can then go to services and subscriptions online in your Microsoft account and turn off recurring billing.i reopened the insider app and it says i did join. i think i clicked on manage and it took me to the xbox store app where it said it was unavailable. so, i should be good.

The market is oversaturated with badly done GaaS games. The model gives devs an excuse to release games in a severely content-limited state. We've seen this time & time again this gen with games like No Man's Sky, Sea of Thieves, Anthem, Battlefield 5, etc.GaaS is not a genre, is distribution and monetization category.
And GaaS side means that the game continues to evolve in time, how is this bad?
