Xbox - Series S/X: Thread 01

You have to assume that Covid has made it hard to get content for these presentations.

Those gameplay reveals looked an awful lot like cinematics.

[Cassius_Smoke]

It was all pretty meh

[Brad]

Those gameplay reveals looked an awful lot like cinematics.

Jeff Bakalar posted the briefly displayed small print that the graphics were representative of what they think the end product will be able to do. You know, like the kill zone 2 trailer.

I quite liked the look of the new Yakuza game, but there wasn't anything that screamed to me "If you don't get a console, you'll be missing out".

[nonny]

Ubisoft and anyone else for that matter need to know that gameplay means "game being played"...

These cinematic "using game engine" trailers mean nothing.

[Junko]

It’s a hard pass from me so far

[Cassius_Smoke]

That fell flat as much as every other xbox announcement. MS are aware they have a new console to sell right? Right??

We're at the point where developers need 15 years on a single game to make it look "next gen" and astonishing. No one has that time or budget.

[Adam]

The Medium looks pretty cool. Ticks all my boxes, but still need you know, gameplay

[nonny]

Yes I thought that one looked good.

I'm also looking forward to AC Valhalla even if they overhyped this trailer. You at least know what the gameplay should be like if you've played Odyssey.

Some of the other titles looked interesting but most it's too early a look or they just were pretty boring.

We're at the point where developers need 15 years on a single game to make it look "next gen" and astonishing. No one has that time or budget.

Case in point, Red Dead 2. Over 1000 people nearly 10 years. Just not doable.

[dataDave]

It's doable. But not by many, clearly.

You can count the amount of truly 'next-gen' games on one hand, and they are all on (or at least coming to) current gen hardware.

It's going to be at least three years before anything proper next-gen is shown. Console generations might still be a thing but software generations are gone.

[Neon Ignition]

And to be fair, Rockstar could have easily cut a few years and some aspects of the game and it'd arguably be much better for it.

[Cassius_Smoke]

The first run of games on a new console never look the best. It takes time to learn and develop a truly next gen game.
Id be happy at this stage to have current gen games looking a bit better.
