The key to Microsoft’s future success seems to lie in their past.
Max Caulfield returns in Life is Strange: Double Exposure, an all-new supernatural murder mystery in the award-winning Life is Strange series.
holy shit, i didnt expect to see Max again.
so ... i wonder what ending is canon then.
One of the best announcements in the show (personal opinion as I am fan of all life is strange games).
Here's hoping they dont mess this up (Deck Nine played it too safe in Life is Strange True Colors)
To wrap up the Xbox Games Showcase, Microsoft has revealed Gears of War E-Day, the first new entry in over 5 years.
A prequel?! I'm sorry, but in my opinion this will mess with the canon that the Gears games have already established. How can you introduce new weapons or enemies?
Literally going to say the same thing
E-Day sounds fantastic on paper and we get Marcus back along with Dom but you are limited creatively because if you add any new weapons which are awesome then people will say "Why was this not in the first games when they are better and would have helped them" and enemies it will be "Where did the vanish to, why weren't they used later on they seemed pretty threatening"
It's the only issue with prequels, it's super hard to land it without bringing up so many questions when it's a lore heavy franchise.
I honestly thought it was a reboot at first....UNLESS they use this as the reboot which I wouldn't be mad about, I'd be all for it.
I'm thinking one way they could do it is just by switching up the gameplay, more open sandbox, maybe some RPG gameplay elements. Something along those lines.
A reboot? I guess that could work, maybe a retelling and all ..change some things because now we have the tech to introduce aspects that the original game couldn't due to limitations at that time.
We'll just have to wait and see.
That's just where they have to get creative. With Halo Reach, they explained that certain weapons belonged to a different military branch than the one we played with in the first trilogy.
I thought it was either a reboot or prequel as well after seeing Marcus
Not true, Halo reach was a prequel and had new weapons and gear. Just like any military some weapons get phased out, banned, modified, etc. So you can have weapons that weren't in the other games that can be explained while sticking to cannon. And new enemies could be explained by saying hey they were around during this time but we wiped them out and now they're extinct or after so many we're unalived they abandoned their post
The world as they knew it gets destroyed.
That's perfect canon reason for cool new weapons and mechanics to not be in later games.
It's what happens when you write yourself into a corner with the ending 5 took which was completely unessecery
Im just happy to see Marcus back. Dont even care if its a soft reboot imo the franchise needed something like this. Gears been irrelevant for a while now.
Since they never showed who the developer is I wonder if this is the People can Fly project. Leaving the Coalition to wrap up Gears 6.
Thats an interesting point. You'd of expected to see "The Coalition" and all the leakers referred to it them working on "Gears 6" specifically..
Think it's a good move. Gears did not really work brining back gears of war and the original characters is definitely what's needed and hopefully put things back in the right direction
Power Your Dreams with three new Xbox Series X|S console options coming this holiday 2024.
oh dear.
imagine having 5 xboxs infront of you and you still buy the cheapest one ha.
not sure 3 new ones where necessary lol
ahh yes, the all white, digital only series x, -like they should have had from the start,.
edit - hold on, wait a minute, something doesn't make sense,
how they only gonna give you the smaller drive, on the DIGITAL ONLY console,.
hard facepalm
Any chance these will have some CPU/GPU upgrades or will they be stuck with outdated hardware. I wish Sony or MS would just go all in and make a super powerful console.
If they’re going to stick with the same old hardware they should’ve announced a series s with a disk drive. As it stands in my opinion these 3 new options seem pretty useless especially considering ps5 pro should also at least be officially announced when they are released this holiday.
$350 for the Series S 1TB
$450 for the Series X Digital 1TB
$600 for the Series X 2TB.
Meh, I was hoping that given the lackluster sales they would use this to lower the price of the console by $50 each and sunset the 512GB Series S.
The xbox rumors about the handheld and the 2026 console are fake.
The 2026 one was started by some xbox fanboy on twitter who was mad there wasn't going to be a mid gen update like the PS5 Pro.
The handheld rumor also seems fake but I'm not sure where it started from, but I get the feeling it was started because Tom Warren an actual reliable leaker said there was plans for a PlayStation handheld that would play PS4 games, and the xbox rumor was just started to "us too".
I'm really glad the people at gamingbolt can tell whats going to happen in the future, Till both consoles come out its all opinion, this is done for cheap clicks.
Hopefully that doesn't mean ceasing new titles that target the hardcore crowd half way through the generation in favour of Kinect.
Yes im getting the 360 vibes with series X its been awhile i been hyped for a console and so far XBOX has me 🙌😎
No matter how poorly xbox does generation after generation success is just around the corner.
Sorry....I’m not religious
