Xbox Official Xbox thread

Sounds like most are satisfied with the Microsoft presentation, but the one thing that was pretty weak was the new Series Xs with 2TB SSDs... for $600? Seriously?

At the very least they should bring back the limited edition colors that older consoles used to release in the second half of their lifecycle.

Like...

They were looking into a console version of the design lab like they do for the controllers but I'm not sure if they decided against it or not

Well Phil Spencer himself doesn’t agree with you.

Phil Spencer Confirms More Xbox Games Will Come To Other Platforms

Phil Spencer confirms that more Xbox games will be available on new platforms during a new interview after Xbox Showcase.

Just curious, are you actually capable of posting without coming off as an insufferable, condescending cunt.

Maybe do a little bit of research and you won’t end up looking like such a prick.

Yea was shocked to see Phil say that here. I didn't think they would want to talk about this anymore beyond what they've already said.

You're the one hurling names. I'm aware of the interview, but that was non-committal, and doesn't mean anything until there are official announcements for other games crossing over. He said it while boasting about DOOM being published to all platforms as an example of seeing "more of our games on other platforms". I'm citing things as they stand. There was no announcement at the showcase these games would be on other platforms.

Do you have a source for that? Phil just announced more Xbox games are on the way and that they are done with "slimy" exclusivity. He's acting like he's the good guy here but really he's forced to do this because GamePass isn't profitable. You seem to be in denial that more are on the way when the heads of Microsoft are literally telling you the opposite.

Yes, everywhere is a source. Find me sources stating those games are being published to Playstation. Do you have a source for Game Pass not being profitable? It was already profitable by late 2020. Spencer himself said that, and he said it again in January 2024.

They also posted on Twitter bragging about how HiFi Rush was a success by their own metric of engagement only to later shut them down and have Phil say they were fired because he needs to run a sustainable business. Like come on dude, the guy is a liar. Look at Doom, you really think that goes to PS5 if Xbox is selling subs and consoles like crazy?

So you made it up. And you also don't refute the simple fact I've relayed about exclusivity.

Concession accepted.

Ah yes, try and take the high road after trotting in on your high horse speaking to me like a child, you knew what you were doing so let’s cut the poor little me routine shall we.

Well if you want to stick your head in the sand and pretend this isn’t happening then you do you.

SOT and HIFI Rush are already on PS, Doom is confirmed coming day 1 and Phil Spencer has told us more is coming.

Let’s be honest if I had said a year ago someone will play those 3 games on a PS you would have jumped in with your usual know it all attitude telling me how I don’t know what I’m talking about.

I know it, you know it.

You guys seem incredibly aggravated by me merely pointing out there wasn't some revolutionary overhaul to the Game Pass model indicated or announced anywhere at the showcase. I just don't understand where that came from. I did nothing to provoke this hostility rather than observe simple facts about platform availability for the preponderance of games showcased.

Sheesh.

Aye okay of course that’s all you did.

Tell me where the fact is in this statement.

“Indiana Jones, Gears of War, Avowed, Flight Simulator 2024, STALKER 2, Age of Mythology Retold, Fable, Perfect Dark, South of Midnight, Shattered Space, and State of Decay 3 are all staying PC/Xbox exclusive”

Unless you have a crystal ball then this is as much of an opinion as anything anybody else has said, especially after games have came over, another is confirmed and P Dog has said to expect more.

So you’re actually giving opinions and calling them facts while having digs at others for simply having opinions.

Already trying to run away from a losing argument lol. Phil said they’d be 4 games coming and not to expect more. Well they arrived and now more are coming. He said GamePass users actually buy more games and then retracted when he said GamePass actually cannibalizes sales. Phil and company said hifi rush was a huge success only to then can the entire studio by claiming it was to create a more sustainable business. Dude lies and lies. Truth is Satya wants Xbox to actually start making money and so we’re seeing more games go to PlayStation. Gamepass ain’t making enough

LOL.

"Phil said Hi-Fi Rush hit their engagement metrics. He later closed the studios for not making a profit. He's a liar!"
...just before...
"Phil said Xbox games are coming to Playstation. I believe him."


Phil never said Hi-Fi Rush turned a profit. I don't understand what the lie was supposed to be. And the comment about "cannibalizing sales" was part of the antitrust lawsuit, only said it was a "potential" caveat, and in which numerous other statements Xbox made were deliberately intended to strengthen its defense of its acquisition. Nobody takes that stuff seriously except the people who think defense attorneys are chiefly preoccupied with delivering the unadulterated truth. These are the same people who probably believe Hunter Biden's lawyers when they claim Hunter was telling the truth when he wrote on his form to purchase that gun he wasn't a drug user because he "believed it at the time", and that the cocaine residue in the bag where the gun was found which was his personal property probably belonged to his brother's widow.

Aye okay of course that’s all you did.

Tell me where the fact is in this statement.

So you’re actually giving opinions and calling them facts while having digs at others for simply having opinions.

I'm citing the official platform release announcements to date. What are you citing? Nobody finds it outside the realm of belief that Phil will bring more games to other platforms following the expansion of the previous games, but I specified the games from the showcase that are only slated for Xbox/PC release. These are exclusive until you can substantiate otherwise. For example, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle.

Indiana Jones And The Great Circle - Platforms, Release Date, And Everything We Know

The next Indiana Jones game is shaping up to be an authentic slice of globetrotting action.

www.gamespot.com

It'll only be available on Xbox Series X|S and PC. PS5 owners will unfortunately not get the game on their platform, as developer MachineGames was one of several studios acquired by Microsoft in 2021's $7.5 billion purchase of Bethesda and ZeniMax.

And when you go to the official website for any of these games, maintained by the developer, you can always see the platforms intended for distribution. Do it for any game I've named.

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle

Uncover one of history’s greatest mysteries in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle™, a first-person, single-player adventure set between the events of Raiders of the Lost Ark™ and The Last Crusade™. The year is 1937, sinister forces are scouring the globe for the secret to an ancient power...

indianajones.bethesda.net

For Indiana Jones, you see "Game Pass", "Xbox Series X/S", "Windows", and "Steam".

These are not opinions. This is how press releases work. This is how we know where games will be distributed. These are facts.

Now it's your turn. Please produce the evidential basis for the claim these games I've named will be published to the Playstation.

Dude brings up Hunter Biden as an argument lmao. Some people are just too far gone

Concession accepted.

I didn’t concede. It’s just that you’re batshit fucking insane and I’m no longer dealing with crazy. You’re one of the most stubborn posters on this board and not once have you ever changed your mind on any subject regardless of all the facts out there, you’re too far gone like I said. It’s better I recognize that now and just move on instead of wasting time with someone as unhinged as you are. Anyway I’ll be enjoying more Xbox titles coming over soon. You keep playing pretend.

 

[GearSolidMetal]

I'm not a retro gamer or collector.

If it doesn't run at 1440P/60FPS then I'm not interested.

Xbox Just Had its Best Showcase Ever – and at the Perfect Time​

Microsoft’s stellar showcase of games restored consumer confidence after a recent rough stretch.​

"Amid multiple leaks and rumors, we had a decent idea of what was going to be at this year’s Xbox Games Showcase with seemingly plenty to get excited about. But when the Showcase finally aired, Microsoft did the near-impossible for any company in a fickle social media-fueled age: they exceeded expectations and drew almost universal acclaim. Eighty-four percent of the 10,000+ voters in my X poll graded it an ‘A’ on the academic scale. Ninety-five percent gave it an ‘A’ or ‘B’."

I thought doom was confirmed to be going to PS5.

 

[Law Talkin’ Guy]

It is going to PS5, that’s his point. It wouldn’t be going to PS5 if Xbox was selling consoles and Gamepass subscriptions like gang busters.
