They are likely trying to temper expectations because too many people are making this a “make it or break it” E3 for Xbox when it’s anything but that. There is too much importance being placed on this show and walking people back from that ledge is the right thing to do.

I think they might be going too far, bumming people out instead.

We need more hype around Xbox, not less.

Also when people say we have seen stuff from the campaign multiple times what do yall mean? We have gotten 1 demo that resulted in the game getting delayed a year and some “PC build WIP images”. The Engine trailer was a best case scenario years ago and that deliver hope trailer was not representative of the actual game either.

Asking for an updated campaign showing at E3 isnt like a crime lol.

and this guy?

there is not much information about this.

He was responsible for Kinect, HoloLens projects for Xbox at this time and he moved to Windows for human computer interaction technologies in 2015.

This is not true at all. There is nothing to “react” to. Sony showed a great looking game, just like they have done for R&C, and MS will also show great looking games. Only people who care to feed into this stupid console war will bother comparing games that aren’t really comparable.

FFS can’t companies just show cool games and people either ignore or get excited over it? MS will have plenty to get people excited and so will Sony and Nintendo. That’s a good thing.

TBH from what I have been observing lately is that graphical intensive games is all that matters. Nobody is excited about indie and AA games anymore. All they feed into is the big blockbusters. I have yet to see people actually having discussions about games themselves on this forums. It’s always a reactionary discussion MS should do this MS should do that rather than sharing experiences of the game they have recently played.

On YouTube the campaign demo with 8 million plus views has 217k thumbs up and 38k thumbs down. 17.5% of the ratings are negative.

The campaign gameplay trailer has 72k thumbs up and 8k thumbs down. Just over 11% of the thumbs ratings are negative.

Klobrille is of course correct here.

Who cares what Sony fans think of Xbox Games. Seriously people, you need to stop caring about them and focus on what you individually like.

I definitely agree with this in regards to the XGS and Community OTs, but in the Yakuza OT, Mass Effect OT, and the Sea of Thieves OT, for example, there are some genuinely nice discussions about actual games.

Any guesses about the release date for Psychonauts 2? I’m going with August.

…stimate what a studio like PG can do, with Fable. When people say rival HFW, do they mean visually or also animations? GG is on another level when it comes to details, how detailed it all looks in that footage, how crisp and clean and a huge improvement of ZD. But I have no doubts that PG can come with similar visuals, or TC in a few years with Gears 6. Games are going to look amazing, it however remains to be seen if they go the extra mile like FW. With that I mean, how alive the game world looks, nothing was standing still, nothing static, even stuff on her outfit moved, it’s the total package. Tons of games will look amazing, but will they have the extra details? Time will tell. But for this upcoming E3 for Xbox, I can see Jez being right. But there’s no telling what future E3s will hold.

GG still has janky voice acting same was with the first one. And Gears Hivebusters already looks similar to HFW at 4k 60 FPS with a higher FOV. I would rate The coalition much higher than GG. It’s not always about graphics. While Horizon was a great game it was basically a Far Cry type game with light RPG elements baked onto the game and a unique world.

Again if this is true then why is Halo 5 regarded as a terrible Halo overall even if its multiplayer portion is good?

Only on forums where campaign is more important is it regarded that way. Let’s bring up halo 5 then.

Halo 4 had a much better reception for the campaign, but it’s multiplayer was panned. Halo 5 had a bad reception for campaign but it’s multiplayer was excellent.

343 themselves that halo 5 had better legs in terms of player engagement than halo 4 or halo reach.

Possibly July or August. I think there’s a handful of June games already for GamePass, right?

I want to see at least a montage of some new Halo Infinite biomes and then a look at Warzone.

For me it’s 50/50. I love the campaigns in Halo and I replay them often, so a good campaign is incredibly important to me. I do sink more time into multiplayer though, so it’s hard to decide. I think people focusing on the MP aspect are projecting the idea that Halo MP will be f2p and will have the ability to reach Cod Warzone or Fortnite numbers which may never happen. Either way, it’s a weird argument.

Yeah, I don’t think it’s crazy to want to see more (maybe in a different location or possibly an indoor section), or at the very least to see what’s been improved.

I do think the greater emphasis at E3 will be on MP though.

August is my guess as well.

Klobrille was talking about the trailer having better reception than the demo. So yes, in this case, like/dislikes are a good way to gauge reception. I saw people online saying the trailer looked better too at the time.

At the end of the day we’re all consumers and should have our own expectations of companies. Other people don’t get to set your expectations of what a company should do. Also, if they don’t meet them you should complain or find a company that does meet them. This temper expectations thing is garbage.

I haven’t seen anyone try to temper expectations to the point of being a downer. The most extreme example I can think of is Grubb saying this won’t be like a 2015 E3 of dreams and some people will be disappointed. Both of those statements are very likely true. Some expectations for this show are too high and people should not be expecting this E3 to calm all the concerns surrounding XGS. If you have more extreme examples, I’d love to see them.

Even with takes such as Grubb’s that isn’t to say people shouldn’t get excited and he’s said that as well. Fact is this show won’t please everyone and that’s OK. Very rarely will a company please everyone.

It’s natural for people to want XGS to wow people, especially with the anxiety surrounding XGS’s output. They just need to come to grips that reacting to the competition in a knee jerk way isn’t what’s going to happen.

Until video impressions are tied to actual Xbox Console ownership its as worthless as user based MetaCritic game scores. It’s nothing but fanboy fodder used by insecure people.

It is a decent representation for reception to a individual piece of marketing.
