@_Deez_Games Even as much crap is going on at Xbox, if the helix has access to steam and epic, it’d be crazy to get a PlayStation instead of an Xbox next gen.
@bdsams Even if it doesn’t have a disc drive, if helix follows through on their plan to have access to multiple store fronts (steam, epic) this makes the next Xbox the much smarter purchase.
@FuuTop1 I don’t think anyone who is being honest will say that what they hoped for from avowed when that first trailer dropped matched the final product. For me at least, it was a huge disappointment.
@longislandviper All of the rumors so far have been rough and i wouldn’t be happy, but wouldn’t make me leave the ecosystem outright. If they close machine games though, who made imho their best game of this gen, I’d start shopping for a pc.
@TheEggman64 My prediction is that we don’t see as many indies going forward, AAA third party will still be a thing but not day one, and we will continue to see first party day one on ultimate.
@JezCorden What was the trade show? If it was mostly indies, could they just be deciding that they’re not throwing a bunch of money at every indie farming sim and cozy cooking game?
@FuuTop1 I’m sure they could make a gaming focused streaming box, bundle with a WiFi enabled controller and sell it for under $300 at a profit. Bundle it with campaign evolved and make a subscription that lets you stream your purchased games for $5 a month.
@heyyoudvd@Grummz This feels like that episode of The Twilight Zone where the guy suddenly has all the time in the world to read after the apocalypse and then his glasses get broken.
@IdleSloth84_ I hate it, but i think the answer is a sub $300 streaming box with an Xbox live revival for $4 a month to stream your owned games and access online multiplayer.
@DMC_Ryan At this point i think they have to launch a sub$300 streaming only box or gaming in general is going to see a significant portion of the population priced out.
@Grummz Call me crazy but i think the pillars/avowed gaming universe is salvageable with a change of tone from avowed. I don’t have a lot of confidence it will happen, but the pillars lore was great and it is doable with the right talent i. The right places.
@temp578@xMBGx Yes, but asha also said they were re evaluating their platform strategy after saying it would play pc games. I’m not saying it won’t because i hope it does. I’m just taking a wait and see approach.
