Support NeoGAF

[Metroiddarks]

A lot can change in a year. Also, I expect a major art style change and ray-tracing.

But what are you talking about, yeah you can in some degree implement raytracing but art
style of course not, the time required to make the assets is incredible high and that is why
options like Quixel are so attractive from Indies to AAA devs.

I will trust in 343 but that games has more problems than art style or the missing RT.

that’s in total 1 exclusive

One more than X.

 

[RookX22]

that’s in total 1 exclusive

So Xbox has a total of 0 exclusives? Even if halo wouldn't have been delayed.

 

[kretos]

No other way to look at it, it's pretty brutal.
Maybe they should just consider postponing there console too.

hey some people might buy the most powerful console ever to play tetris effect

 

[ErRor88]

Everything we saw from Sony at PS5 event is targeting either launch or 2021. Meanwhile Avowed and Fable were just teasers like TES 6, Forza entered pre-production phase (2021? 2022?) and Halo will release in 2021.

PS5 is in a similar situation as XSX.

MS are being torched on social-media and rightly so. Hope their fans don't label these journos/industry folks as shills, and instead demand answers as to why the current leadership pinned all their hopes on one solitary title from XGS? Especially when their pipeline for tail end of current-gen was so empty. 5 years to prepare for this, how do they find themselves in this position again?

#PlaystationAdvantage is going to hit like a freight train.

 

[SSfox]

Xbox Series X Launches this November with Thousands of Games Spanning Four Generations

No way are they seriousely marketing XSX with old gen games??? ROFL

 

[By-mission]

Games are games. It doesn't matter if they are cross-gen. PS5 games are cross-gen as well. Also, no one is trying to convince you to purchase an XSX. Enjoy gaming.

Not even Microsoft itself? Right

 

[Mr Moose]

So The Medium, Scorn and Tetris

Jesus that's a pathetic line up

I just checked, Tetris Effect was released in 2018 (it's on PS4 apparently, too). It got even worse.

 

[Ptarmiganx2]

Sometimes here I read things that make blood cry. While here there is doubt or fear about the possible quality of next generation games, I just finished Ghost of Tsushima on a traditional PS4 1.8TF at 1080p @ 30fps on a € 280 console and together with TLOU2 it has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life as a gamer. I have tried to play these wonderful stories on my € 8,000 4 GPU PC but have not gotten the game to run. I don't know what the problem must be. It will be me?

I have not played Ghost of Tsushima yet, my wife has to finish it first. I enjoyed TLOU2, but not near as much as the first. I bought the PS4 remaster of TLOU the minute it came out. I don't think I would do the same for TLOU2. Technically it's a masterpiece, but the story wasn't as strong. The characters don't elicit the same amount of attachment. They should have went with the original ending.

 

[xHunter]

I think its good that they delay the game instead of forcing a not finished product just to be a launch game.

 

[sircaw]

hey some people might buy the most powerful console ever to play tetris effect

now that did really make me giggle haha

 

[NickFire]

Its weird seeing people suggesting PS5 should be delayed since Halo was delayed.

PSA everyone - Halo was never a PS5 game.

 

[Setsuna Mudou]

I'm pretty sure they do. This is the biggest launch dumpster fire in gaming history.

Come on, surely you were here the last time around

 

[ErRor88]

Also, according to IGN XSX has more exclusive than PS5.

 

[icerock]

Why so serious?

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

I just checked, Tetris Effect was released in 2018 (it's on PS4 apparently, too). It got even worse.

I didn't even realize it was the same game on PS4. So just an exclusive multiplayer component

Lol wow

 

[StarskySilverz]

I wonder how the sales difference between the XSX and PS5 will be now.

They should delay Battletoads 3 more months.

 

[Empire Strikes Back]

I honestly feel bad for 343i devs, I have no doubt there’s talent on that studio, but no amount of talent is enough for shitty management. I’m also glad MS delayed the game, saving those MVPs from some awful crunch. I just hope this delay is enough for some big heads to roll and 343i finally push the industry games forward like 1st parties do.

The exclusives were the friends we made along the way. Peace.

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

Also, according to IGN XSX has more exclusive than PS5.

I mean if you're factoring in backwards compatibility sure

 

[Mr Moose]

Also, according to IGN XSX has more exclusive than PS5.

It has zero, they are releasing their games on PC.

 

[Fortuneelsewhere]

not really



and Tetris and probably that dolphin game

I feel your pain..

 

[sircaw]

Sweet Jesus, I pray for the sanity of Xbox fans everywhere that Sony are not paying big bucks to developers for all those multiplat timed exclusives, imagine if they are true.

It is bad enough being hit by an avalanche, don't need to see a volcano erupt on to of it too.

 

[JonnyMP3]

OMFG! Are they REALLY trying to compare Halo Infinite to Cyberpunk 2077 because of the delay?

 

[dotnotbot]

Ok, we will see by sales numbers which console situation was better.

WORLD PREMIERE

CONSOLE LAUNCH DELAY EXCLUSIVE

 

[Neo Blaster]

FYI, you don't by consoles for what they promise today. It's what they will bring in the future. So, IMO, your statements here are invalid and toxic to the community. People buy PS5 and XSX because of these notions.

 

[Rikoi]

lol good joke.
I feel sad for Microsoft, that's brutal for a console launch

 

[SSfox]

This prove again that you can have all the money in the world, but with no competence and lack of passion it won't do it.

And lol at the Covid excuse again, game been in development since 5 years, C'mon be serious and honest lol

 

[Ptarmiganx2]

Not wrong.
So far it seems Series X can use the available compute power better.
Maybe that could change very long down the line in the console cycle.

What on earth leads you to that conclusion. The Halo gameplay?

 

[kyliethicc]

Jokes aside, what 1st party game(s) is Microsoft putting out this fall for XSX launch, now that Halo is delayed?

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

None

None

Damn

 

[Metroiddarks]

Just imagine this situation an average gamer go to Best Buy to acquire a new console with a new game will good graphics next gen.

From a side you have:

Medium: AA terror game
Scorn: AA terror/gore game

From other side:

Spiderman: an side adventure of one most successful games in the current gen
Godfall: AA action game

If you know how the market prefer some types of games, specially when come from barely know studios even Godfall which looks
average can have more probability of sell more than those XSX games. Spiderman now can easily sell more units than any game
from Xbox first party but against Medium is close of be a massacre.

We need to remember if Halo is release in 2021 so probably for release window its competency is Horizon, good luck against that title.

People please don't be fanboys justified spend around $500 USD for those two titles (Medium, Scorn) just doesn't make senses, you can say
whatever you want of Spiderman be side story but people we know the work of Insomniac or at least you tell me love to buy the titles of
Bloober team (The Witch and The Observer) and we don't have made it for Ebb software (Scorn).

If you don't have Xbox I can understand you buy the XSX but common many of us already have it, so until 2021 we don't have any title which
can be use as justification and until end of 2022 any title which use XSX as should be.

Xbox needs an event now to show something.

 

[Neo Blaster]

that’s in total 1 exclusive

Neither any of XSX games were even before Halo delay.

 

[SaucyJack]

hey some people might buy the most powerful console ever to play tetris effect

It’s just an extra mode in tetris effect

Bet Phil Spencer would be selling his left testicle wishing he had Astro Bot for the release date of the xsx... actually, forget that. I don't think he actually gives a fuck and that's why he didn't think anything was wrong when he greenlit the last Halo demo.

5 years and no first party games in the next gen launch line-up, has this ever happened before?

 

[SlimySnake]

#PlaystationAdvantage is going to hit like a freight train.

Playstation Disadvantage is going to hit even harder. Dont gloat just yet. There are plenty of cross gen games coming out at launch and they might end up running better on the xsx.

 

[SlimySnake]

5 years and no first party games in the next gen launch line-up, has this ever happened before?

7 years. Phil was effectively their leader after Don stepped down in 2013. And Phil was head of xbox first party studios going back to 2010.

And its actually worse than that. they wont have any next gen AAA games until 2023. 2022 at the latest which is very unlikely seeing as how every game shown was in early preproduction. so half a gen without next gen games from first party studios. 12 tflops wasted.

 

[BlueXImpulse]

Playstation Disadvantage is going to hit even harder. Dont gloat just yet. There are plenty of cross gen games coming out at launch and they might end up running better on the xsx.

They won't run so much better on XsX that anyone will care. Only hardcores watch DigitalFoundry. Casuals just want good games to play and when they find out that PSAdv is giving them exclusive content their mind will be made up. I expect XsX to have better resolution or better effects but it won't be so much better that it will matter to me, or you

 

[Vae_Victis]

Jokes aside, what 1st party game(s) is Microsoft putting out this fall for XSX launch, now that Halo is delayed?

First party, none, unless you consider Xbox One games receiving a next-gen patch.

Console (timed) exclusive in general, The Medium I think? Is that hideous Dolphin game a launch title?

 

[Neo Blaster]

#PlaystationAdvantage is going to hit like a freight train.

The way it's going, Sony will probably demand their money back from those deals, not needed anymore.

 

[iamvin22]

No way are they seriousely marketing XSX with old gen games??? ROFL

The only games that was said to be running on series x are all old games. Not a single nextgen game has been shown playing on a series x.

 

[BlueXImpulse]

The way it's going, Sony will probably demand their money back from those deals, not needed anymore.

'any chance we can get some of that 750 million back?'

 

[LucidFlux]

Damn. Halo clearly needed work but I'm not sure even a year is enough time to completely overhaul that game's assets from their current gen roots. Halo was the only reason I was tempted to pick up a Series X at launch. Yes even in its current state, I just miss Halo after being away 10+ years. I'll still get one eventually but for those like me who were solely on playstation this past generation, there is very little reason now to pick up an xbox until some of those bigger next-gen exclusives come out. Nothing else in its launch window does it for me.

While PS5 doesn't have a crazy launch line up either, I'm already in that ecosystem so enhanced versions of titles I already own is an obvious draw, and that's in addition to what I know is coming in the first year. This was the window for MS to win back marketshare with folks like me, but with their biggest launch title (really the only one I was interested in) slipping to next year, this is not a great start to the generation for MS.
