Gimme a TL:DW
The fact it talks about The Initiative making Perfect Dark as if that is news suggests and ancient copypasta imho.
yeah it is, he just reposted it to remind everyone how accurate he is I guess
I really like Mattys content and I love that heâs shifting towards Xbox because if this podcast. Seems like a great dude who doesnât talk fanboy trash.
Basically he says he hopes the whole CGI act will be dropped, goes on to mention how last year we had Fable, Avowed, SoD3 and it was all CGI. On paper Xbox has a great game plan, all the momentum. Hit everyone with the biggest right hook imaginable.
The problem with the CGI only thing is on paper we can look at game pass gaining momentum but everyone is always talking about these exclusives. Right now they are just ideas, Fable is an attractive idea cause he has memories of Fable 1 and 2, but he has no idea what Fable from Playground is gonna look like, same with Perfect Dark, sounds greatâŠbut what does it look like?
Start showing things, get people excited to be in your ecosystem.
Briefly covers the Gamesbeat article, about Xbox and Bethesda being back to back showcase, that Halo and Starfield should be expected. Lots of pressure on Halo Infinite. People will be like âWhat if it fails, what happens to Xbox?â they wouldnât do that with PS, there was Days Gone and The Order, canât have a homerun all the time. But they had so many hits too.
With Xbox you donât have that type of conversation, if Halo fails its âoh shitâ. So Mattyâs like "start to show these games off a little, just to pull some attention off of Halo. Not in a bad way, Halo will draw a lot of attention. So the idea isâŠshow Starfield, show Fable, show Forza, get people talking about other games outside of just Halo. Cause then if Halo fails you can at least say at least thereâs Starfield, Fable, Forza, Avowed, etc. Thatâs the problem, weâve only seen Halo.
I definitely get where heâs coming from. But after Jeffâs comments not so long ago I think heâll be disappointed. Fable, Avowed all sounded like no shows to me. So itâs nothing new what he says, many of us have been of this opinion. ButâŠweâll see!
Sorry man, itâs kinsa long. I suck at these TLDW things, haha.

Jeff recently said that Microsoftâs E3 looked much better. He said this very recently.
Yeah true, but wasnât that mostly aimed at the Xbox Games Publishing deals? Not sure. When he made those first commenrs a few weeks ago he wasnât yet aware of those deals.
Iâm just gonna keep my expectations normal. I remember last year, I was still on RE I believe and Shinobi was saying the Xbox show would be exciting, it would have rich fantasy worlds, Sci-fi and so on. Something to be excited about for Xbox fans. All of what he said was true, the CGI fest however was just a huge let down.

I think thereâs a chance for Avowed still.
But weâll surely have Hellblade 2, Everwild, Some Forza, Stalker 2, Publishing, Psychonauts 2 all with gameplay Iâm certain.
If I recall Jeff said the disappointment was because Microsoft wouldnât announce a lot of new stuff. They could show the games they announced and have a great e3.
Fable, avowed, Hellblade, and everwild. These are the big games Microsoft has announced that they should be able to show off. We could debate till the end of time about whether these games are 2022 or 2023, but everyone of them SHOULD Be ready to show in some way. They have all been in development for 3+ years.
If they can show gameplay for 3 out of those 4, maybe a cinematic for the one that doesnât get gameplay. If halo shows well. If they can show a couple really good indies like tunic. Thatâs a really good e3. At least a 8/10 if those games look good.
Put forza horizon 5 in there for 2021 and thatâs a 9/10. Or announce compulsions game, or maybe project Mara or doubefines next game are ready to show a bit?
Thatâs before you take into account bethesda or Xbox publishing.
Bethesda is going to show starfield off, most likely for around 10 minutes or more. They are going to announce and show gameplay of wolfenstien 3 almost certainly. I think they will announce arkane Austinâs next masterpiece
I think Xbox and Bethesda are going to have a great e3 before Xbox publishing comes into the conservation.

Forge will be massively expanded on. This is not just coming from me though, so Iâm not telling you anything unknown here. Frankie from 343 already officially implied fans will likely come up with their own type of Battle Royal with Halo Infinite Forge.
And there is obviously the official description:
Forge: Haloâs epic content creation tool is back and more powerful than ever. More information coming later this year.
Halo Infinite - Microsoft Store
Forge will be fun with some great surprises I think!

Iâve been a PlayStation guy all my life until 2018, when I bought my One X and never looked back. Iâm more happy with Xbox than I ever was with PlayStation.
With that said⊠I didnât see the appeal of Halo 5 at all? It was my first Halo ever, and I played through the campaign with a friend and I thought the game was⊠not that pretty, and there were some frustrating sections on the campaign.
I dare say Resistance 2 and Killzone 2 were the better games, but that might be nostalgia talking.
Iâm really excited for Infinite, though.

As a halo fanboy since 2⊠i can assure you that youâre not alone in not seeing the appeal of 5.

As someone who loves the halo series and has played the campaigns many times, Halo 5 was definitely my least favorite. It has many issues, and just isnât as balanced as the other games. Not to mention the pacing and plot. If youâre up for it, try Halo Reach. Itâs a good starting point for both mechanics and story. It might click with you better.

Never noticed that official description of Forge. Iâm excited to see how they have expanded it.
As a big Halo Forge nut, Iâm not ashamed to say itâs the bit Iâm most excited for!

Iâm pretty sure like 90% of the Halo fanbase abhors Halo 5âs campaign. Not the best first impression on Halo.
Iâm not a very creative guy so I wonât be doing much myself, but Iâm super excited to see the communityâs creations with the new Forge. They never fail to impress me, it also further makes Halo unique compared to other FPS games.
Wow, impressive. Those look really cool.
Holy shit, thatâs some real impressive stuff there, man! I could never do something like that.
