Wow, fantastic!! Signed up. Fingers crossed.
Pleasantly surprised we are already hearing about the iOS preview.
Other than the Square games that we're still missing, I really hope this year or early in to next gen we start seeing support from Level-5 and Nihon Falcom. Those two studios would make a huge impact to me, long legacies and some beloved series between them.
And of course I hope Platinums journey in to self publishing includes launching games on Xbox.
They should alter the deal, and ea should pray they don't alter it further
That's how it was when carriers launched 4G LTE. I was working at Sprint during that time and remember articles of them boasting scores for download speeds up to crazy amounts that blew my mind during that time Real world results would differ, but i'd save give them time to build more and create more efficiencies before giving in on doom and gloom. However, reading up one each carrier, AT&T seems to be a bit behind.
Now that the tmobile and sprint merger is approved, all of those frequencies will be used for their 5G footprint. (tmo/sprint = 2.5Ghz + 28Ghz + Sub-600Mhz. Verizon = 28Ghz + 39Ghz) . Many probably dont even know this but a lot of carriers rent competing carrier towers in many locations. If i remember correctly, the one carrier who has towers in almost every place imaginable is Verizon. Verizon will probably always have the best coverage/speed balance overall even if another carrier says they are faster or whatever.
i'd give it about 1-2 years. (exact timing when they can push xcloud hard. especially when their content will be at a higher bar. it all makes sense to me) So i think the opposite and see how their roadmap includes the technologies maturity as they ride along side it.
Oh absolutely, now you're talking. Level 5 would mean Ni No Kuni 1 and 2 and I would love that to happen. Yakuza once was a franchise that seemed to good to be true, especially when Sega flat out said no and then it actually was confirmed for Xbox. Never say never I guess!
I was LTTP and didn't join much of the discussion, but your Gears 5 OT was great. It's all supposed to be about having fun, so do what you must in order to enjoy the things that you want, be that posting less and playing more... or continue venturing into writting articles. Just always remember that you should be having fun.

Oh wow! got the invite and they sent me the app to my ios device. that was quick! LOL now i need to get me a controller. lmao
Oh no, who else gonna be blessing us with gorgeous gifs and amazingly crafted OTs :/
Hope to see you back soon mate :D
I got in too! I can't wait to get home and get my clip and controller and test it out, finally. Hopefully they can add more games to testing soon.
Interesting. I'll attempt to share your optimism for the future, 4G absolutely improved later on. I recall getting a Droid RAZR, and being blown away by the speed at the time, which was better than my DSL. I just worry as ever for rural customers and gamers seeing as how even 4G isn't that great for them.
With now also Geoff Keighley not being at E3 and Sony again not present there I wonder if this year could be Microsoft's last time as well. But if that's the case I DO hope they will have a yearly stage show though in June, just not under the E3 name. I would be fine with that. With hopefully EA, Ubi, SE, Sony, Nintendo and Bethesda doing the same. If all these shows will stop...that would be real sad.
Phil Spencer is part of the ESA board of directors, so I can't see Microsoft leaving E3 anytime soon.
Oh that I didn't know. That's good news then. But even if they were to leave, nothing is stopping them from having a stage show, they have the money. But as always, the future will tell.
tbh i wish they do one Big Even (reveal of Xbox SX and 1P and 3P that will be on platform on april) and stay away from E3 so they can also do their thing at their Own Pace
same with Sony too
Yea even if they left there's plenty of venues.
They could move X/X0 events to May/June/July. The Game Awards and Gamescom provide different live venues for announcements. And shows like Inside Xbox, etc. & platforms like mixer/twitch/youtube let them reach the consumer at home.
I knew Bowser and Spencer were on the board, didn't know about Sony. Who do they have on the board, Jim Ryan or someone else?
Yeah, only way Cell towers really shine is when there is a lot of infrastructure or else they have to make a "fake" tree, or water tower, or buy a piece of someone's land to set something up to cover an area. Even then it might not be worth it to the carrier if it will only cover 10-20 people while the same cost could cover hundreds else where. tough stuff but a reality =/.
I think we will really get into the future, with empowering the Internet of Things, when the next generation of wireless tech comes out. 6G or whatever they'll call it. But for now, this is a step into that direction i look forward to. Similar to how i also look forward to our first step into quantum computers and the recent accomplishments with that. i love technology! lol
I would be fine with that too. But this year they will have their show.
Yep, nothing wrong with that. But as long as they hold their stage shows. There's just something special about those shows. Inside Xbox is fun and all but nothing too special. The yearly E3 show where they have a stage, big happening etc, is always something to look forward to in my opinion.
In all honesty though, Microsoft has left E3 completely in everything other than name. The ESA and Xbox list themselves among the E3 presentations, but just like EA they aren't actually at the site. IIRC, Xbox didn't even have a booth on the floor, it was just Mixer. Even with them skipping out on the normal festivities over at E3, it is nice to see them still supporting the event and holding their own events on their own terms.
iirc it was layden before but i don't know now but Probably Jim
Yep, that's true. This actually increases the chances significantly that if they were to completely drop out from E3 they'd still continue with these shows.
Microsoft's own location is right across the street from the main convention hall. So, different building technically, but same event and the E3 attendees can easily go to Microsoft's stuff there. It's not enough of a distinction to cause one to say Xbox isn't part of E3.
Maybe, I honestly don't know. But Layden was also pushed out of Sony & Sony went through a restructuring.
It still highly impacts the ESA though, since Microsoft is no longer renting floor space and taking a decent amount of the crowd out of the convention center.
I would say they're only involved with E3 in name and that's just to help the event stay relevant. If it wasn't for Microsoft having their own theater, I'm not sure if they would be physically over at that location either.
Ages ago I had a similar thought for a Halo game set on a planet during the first wave of Covenant invasions. Play as a civilian or scientist or something without military training. Even a Grunt is a massive challenge. An Elite is a death sentence. My idea was probably more of a stealth or even horror game.
Look, you are definitely correct. I wouldn't want that type of thing happening unless Obsidian (or whoever) were actually hyped and proposed it themselves. Just because it isn't in a new world doesn't mean the game can't be great. I would argue Obsidian's best games (New Vegas and KOTOR 2) have been in other people's worlds (although considering their pedigree there is a very strong argument that Fallout is their universe). But yeah, as a whole I agree with you
You and me both.:(
Gonna clean up some more achievements in Asura's Wrath and then maybe start up Blue Dragon for the meantime.
I just saw an article about a possible feature of the PS5, a digital assistant that would give you advice in games and suggest activities in game you might enjoy and I can't stop thinking about how much I don't want anything like that.
A few years ago I could definitely see Xbox trying something like that with Cortana, but I now not so much. It'd be interesting though if PS5 launches with such a drastically different stand out feature, it could go the way of the Wii's motion controls, or the way of the Xbox One's Kinect.

I've seen some AI like feature mentioned for Xbox in the past.
I think this was the first instance (not sure about other references to it): https://imgur.com/gallery/i3TnTKk
Ultimately, i don't think it would harm the experience of the consoles. Probably a suggested games, etc etc.
This leak is super interesting. There's decently credible rumors that Microsoft at least made initial contact with almost all the studios listed (if we assume the studio that Microsoft was looking at in Poland is The Farm51) and the specs are shockingly close for someone to have guessed early last year. The games are pretty close as well (especially if The Initiative is really working on Perfect Dark), even though some in the know have claimed that Killer Instinct 2 is not in development. It's not totally out of the question that this has some validity. The weird thing about it is that someone would be in a position to know the specs for both consoles and Xbox's plans.
What's crazy is it's from December 2018 (I think?) or Jan 2019. Like... damn.
Asobo is working with MS on Flight Sim. Platinum Games had discussions with MS for being bought. etc etc
They mention Bleeding Edge as a launch title, but... I think at this point Bleeding Edge wasn't announced? It was announced on June 13th.
man... this is the kind of AI that MS is probably gunning for:

It wasn't announced, but there was a trademark filing from Ninja Theory so we had some idea that it was coming.
For sure, but it's not unreasonable to think that it'd still be a talking point for Xbox, especially if we're seeing it at the console reveal or E3.
Have playground games got the project for you! Probably
honestly I'd like to see MS become a jack of all trades. Make all the things
but please make PD a splinter cell in cyber punk
That's assuming it's an optional feature, then yeah, obviously. Or it's implemented in a way that's mostly frictionless, like its a tab on the dashboard that shows you the things instead of popping it up in game. As I said, could go well, could go horribly.

cool stuff.
I reckon Playgrounds Fable will be deeply rooted in mythical lore
Personally I'm sticking to my guns and hoping one of the team's can bring us Shadowrun to the AAA space. It's literally the perfect Cyberpunk game with a unique spin.
