@_Tom_Henderson_ They should think again about how Game Pass works. I really like Game Pass, but Xbox should probably sell games instead. It's too good to be true as a customer, and they proved it when COD left day 1. Other games must come close too when it comes to the cost of development.
@Stallion83 The exclusive messaging has been pretty poor. It's too much will they, won't they questions, and this weird halfway house. If they just said all Xbox Studios Games were entierly exclusive, that would make sense. Instead it's case by case. It's about as clear as mud.
@vengeful_vadam Imagine if this is how we find out that guy working at Bungie also makes music for Halo? Or worse still, HS used AI to make the music and it used this to generate it
@Wurstbraten420@JezCorden Yes, i did notice that. Stood next to COD, Halo, Gears and Fable it's probably been a bit out matched when it comes to attention - but it looks to have all the pieces to be a "system seller" to my eye
@TehSpearhead I thought the same thing, but one of my toxic traits is falling victim to FOMO with limited editions. It better arrive in time for the early access π
@LateNightHalo Honestly thought these were a fake AI troll when I saw them for the first time. Very tacky and not at all something I'd personally want attached to Halo, not a fan.
@JayzTwoCents Lots of the people who are critical of AI are probably people who don't even make things. They've got no idea how to put a video together, they've got no idea what goes into a thumbnail. Useful tools get used by people who make shit, and people who have no idea complain about it.
@JezCorden I like game pass, but as good as it is, it's a rod for their back in the sense of sacrificing sales which is probably what they need to justify exclusives. If paying full price means they can justify exclusives, it's probably the right move long term. Sony seem to confirm that.
@asha_shar I think all caps makes it look more like a logo even when it's typed. If you look at a console, they're all rectangular, just like XBOX is both written horizontally and vertically like the Series X. I'm probably looking into it too much, but definitely all caps!
@evolved117@asha_shar XBR? Nah, let's add sprint πββοΈ It's going to be so funny to watch this all unfold. You know they're doing it and how they'll do it π«
@Mr_Rebs_ Wonder what they'll call them. It can't be Halo 2: Campaign Evolved or Halo: Campaign Evolved 2, can it? π Halo 2 Reloaded, Halo 2 Ultimate Edition? I genuinely don't know what they'd do. Probably just "Halo 2" and "Halo 3".
@WinC_Gaming I'm still hoping it comes with, or at least has the option for a disc drive. If they're investing more in backwards compatibility it really needs to be possible for me to play any of my Xbox discs across all generations.
@tomwarren It'd be cool if they opted to use the 2001 logo & branding. It's got an angular utilitarian vibe that the others don't & seeing that big green X in the middle of a controller would be sick. Modernised a bit perhaps but the basic vibe from 2001 is peak Xbox, in my opinion.
@CallofDuty Seeing legacy titles from the 6th generation in some sort of "History Collection" would be great for Game Pass. 4K60 & achievement/trophy support on games like: Finest Hour, Final Fronts, Big Red One, etc. would be excellent & preserve the classics.
