But what's the point of a Lockhart on launch when you can play 1080p Halo Infinite on a Xbox One S or X for cheaper?

It's not just resolution. It's framerate, load times etc.
Lockhart will be decked out with a legit CPU and SSD that the S/X don't have.
There is some truth to this, although I still think it's not clever to force studios to optimize a game for a platform you can't even buy at that point. Timing is tricky, I agree, but I'd go with it on day one. Also helps to get the messaging right from the start.
If they release a weaker console later games released before would need a patch at least and I think it wouldn't make sense marketingwise to release a weaker console later.
"Now with less power and less resolution for less money than ever before" ? Don't think that will ever happen to be honest.
I'd go with day one as well, as long as the production capacity is enough to guarantee a good amount of Anaconda consoles. Don't want enthusiasts going into the store and only seeing Lockhart and PS5 on the shelf.
The time frame mentioned before was 2/21, which is effectively still launch window. I would assume the games would ship ready for Lockhart.
Thanks I missed this info and now I understand your idea more clearly but I think there is no need to split as MS should have planned good enough to produce enough to please as much people as possible. The good thing is we will know everything within the next 6 month. :)
Great post by Klob - expected :P
I guess i also want to apologize if i was the one who started the recent conversation about confusion. Sometimes i get off on a tanget about possible scenarios and expand on that idea when it probably isn't a real concern.
Last night i just kept thinking on how they will move into next-gen with Scarlett as the launch of Phil's actual vision. And then their comment about futher generations.
I said something like lockhart is a lower-clocked anaconda (baseline clocks from factory) while the retail scarlett is overclocked with additional components (cooling,ram,ssd space). then something like once they move anaconda into the servers, they can scale according to their process and time-line. but to be honest idk how it all works lol. someone teach me de way
and when you reply make sure you say "This is the way"

The point is that you'll play the next-gen version of Halo Infinite on Lockhart.
How exactly this will look like can only be speculated, but stuff like raytracing, 120fps for Arena, a higher graphical fidelity, no loading times etc. are all a possibility.

Even if it doesn't change game design, higher framerates, better physics/AI, faster load times etc. are things that have been requested for years but largely ignored. Particularly physics/AI.
I would already buy next gen console for "no loading times" only.
Well said. I'm in complete agreement here and can't figure out why people seem to think Lockhart will hold things back. Everything is coming to PC!!!!
Happy dance.
I almost bought it on BF, but I missed the timed deal and figured I'd wait for the holiday sale and pick it up then for my days off.
i freaking love Game Pass so much. I feel like I type this twice a day.
So for TGA:
Game Pass
-Control (Best Game, Best Action-Adventure, Art Direction, Audio Design, Game Direction, Narrative, Performance
-The Outer Worlds (Best Game, Narrative, Performance, RPG )
-Devil May Cry 5 (Best Action Game, Music )
-Gears 5 (Best Action Game, Audio Design, Performance )
-Metro Exodus (Best Action Game )
-Jump Force (Fighting Game )
-My Friend Pedro (Fresh Indie Game )
-Outer Wilds (Fresh Indie Game, Game Direction, Indie Game )
-Slay The Spire (Fresh Indie Game )
-Life is Strange 2 (Games For Impact )
-PES 2020 (Sports/Racing)
-Age of Wonders: Planetfall (Strategy)
-Wargroove (Strategy)
Game Pass gives me the chance to play all those nominees, and that's in addition to a lot of nominees from precedent years
I think Game Pass doesn't receive as many appreciation threads as it deserves hahah

Its stupidity
Is he telling me that he will stop supporting my middle class PC just because a new gen Is ahead?
4K isnt adopted as much as 1080p was, so 1/2 of next gen consoles appeal is not necessary.
The final DLC was quite good at least from what i've heard of several impressions. I'll play them eventually but I'm really excited about what game they'll create in the next couple years :D
Good grief man, my poor backlog.
I haven't played this much in ages. Recently completed Remnant From the Ashes, Outer Worlds, Devil May Cry V and moving on to Rage 2 as well.
How is this not robbery?
Game Pass is the THE most ground breaking service I've ever used. Mark my words, this will rock the entire industry come Scarlet launch.
Remedy says Control is not coming to Game Pass
Well not acording to Tom warren. And yes it would work fine. Just like ms is probably telling devs if you want to release on andaconda you must also release on Lockhart they could do the same thing. 'If you want to release COD next on andaconda you must also release it on Lockhart when it launches 6 months later'.
"At this time" could also mean that the announcement was made early. I'd expect an announcement at TGAs if there's going to be one.
It's possible he just misspoke, or there are ongoing negotiations that he thought were completed. Or he may have said it as a hypothetical without really thinking about how it'd be heard and then didn't think to go back on it. There's a lot of options here besides someone lying.
Come on now if that was the case he would've clarified it on Twitter or something. 505/Rememdy likely wants continued sales until an official announcement
Same here. Phil to me doesn't seem to be that guy but I also don't believe he did this intentionally to put Remedy or the publisher at an disadvantage or whatsoever. Absolutely no reason for that. I say this because I saw some posters saying it was a shitty move by Phil. That implies he did this to mess with Remedy. Which I don't believe at all.
Maybe wishful thinking on my part, but this quote from Tom Warren has me thinking that the PS5 and Anaconda won't be as close as everyone seems to think.
Of course some console warriors use this to put the blame on him as if he did it intentionally. I believe it just slipped too.
Bad comparison when Xbox 360 was getting really going by the time Sony got their bigger more expensive turd to develop for console out in the market. The competition was already cheaper with better content and at much more mass market prices which $499 wasnt even on the lower end.
These are two boxes launching the same day (for Xbox) at the same time as the competition. MS have ambitions to go big.
I have other issues with the post but I'm not going to detail all of them, MS should go for it if thats what they want to do.
Software support for Xbox One will dry up soon enough. With Lockhart, you'll get a promise of getting the newest games for the next 5+ years. On Microsoft's side, they'll be able to offer a two year plan of 20$/month where the consumer gets the console and XGP subscription. They wouldn't be able to do that if the bill of materials is more than $480, which will most likely be the case with Anaconda.
Still, I'd prefer if Lokhart didn't exist.
Nah, I don't think that means anything about power between Scarlett and PS5. Especially after what Jason said.
Yeah it's just silly. But ah well.
In other news, my buddy has the new dashboard but he is NOT in preview. How did that happen? He showed me a screenshot of it too.
Someone has used his xbox at some point that is in preview and they attached that hardware to it, only way it should happen.
This is Tom warren from a few days ago after saying Lockhart was back in the table.
That sure seams to me that he is saying if not seriously implied that Lockhart is supposed to come after andaconda.
So very well said. I don't get why people can't wrap their heads around this. IMO, All the complaints against really revolve around marketing strategy not this technology strategy.
Surprised it hasn't been shared here yet so I'll do it.
It's nice to see Gears being well received in Japan
Turns out he looked wrong, he IS in preview after all. I did unenroll from it. Seems I CAN however check out the Kart rider beta.
