The Analog Circle Podcast: Does Xbox LockHart Make Sense?

In this week's episode, Kiaun will discuss the Playstation 5 allegedly being priced at $499, Xbox is getting a custom limited edition Cyberpunk 2077 themed console, we get a release date for Streets Of Rage 4, more rumors are circulating about the new Batman Court Of Owls video game and the Playstation 4 exclusive Wild is still being developed.

I have a feeling that the plan is to phase out the One X and replace it with the Series S (lockhart) for the same price. All rumors say that it may be lower in TF (4tf compared to 6tf of the X) but it will actually be more powerful overall due to having a much more modern CPU and the GPU is also more optimized. Not sure on memory, will it be 12gb or will it be 8gb but if it is to be the new "X" replacement then it will need to be equal to or greater than the X.

the SX will be the top line next gen. The SS will be the middle tier and the existing XBO S will be entry level (if they decide to keep making it strictly for Gamepass)

Makes sense to give choices of price for next generation. For next gen MS did their homework and they will start to see the results of that commitment.

Couple of points:

*Nothing replaces real sports but it would be cool to have virtual sports besides real sports played by the real athletes in control. With VR support to watch within the games, races, etc. Would be fun and more money generated throughout.

*I think Sony is going to come in at $399 based on history. Only $499 if they want to make up losses from corona virus shutting thing down and hurting Sony's revenue for 2020.

*After all the typical colors and custom franchise models, Nintendo's next release should be a VR Switch. No reason for a 3D model or a two screen model. VR should be next. It would help legitimize VR and cut into Oculus Quest's momentum.

*Sony's VR robot is a concept patent. But Sony is known for high quality robots like Aibo The Pet Dog. I could see this releasing in Japan if it ever happened. I mean, the Japanese are already doing things like this which is awesome

What other country does this?

*As I've said before, Lockhart is a stupid idea unless it streams XSX games only. But you can do that with current hardware. So, it defeats the purpose of cheaper hardware. Xbox gamers speak so much about power, who's going to buy a gimped hardware system? Nobody. It's gimped. One system. One focus. One price. That's all. Unless you have two SSD sized systems. One terabyte version. One, 2 terabyte version for more internal storage. But a gimped model will not sell.

Lastly. I like the podcast and the easy flow of the host without slip up even though there's too much shucking and jiving. No lies or misleading. But too much joking. Maybe that's his style. Who knows. Maybe you need a side man or woman to break some of it up like New York style radio hosts. It's funny but too much for the whole show.

Good cast overall though.

A disagree won't change the fact that a gimped XSX won't sell.

Let them do it and find out the hard way. Gaming forums will eat it up.

This was great. I'll try and do better. I really appreciate the criticism.

Well they are using unreal engine now thanks to there work culture and horrific job on making cyberpunk so for the future no impact.

But it will be interesting to see what mods will be made

7 disagrees shows how many look at one dlc that had a rip off fight from ghost in the shell and goes wow what a goat team i love cdpr while ignoring that they only made 2 games that were good witcher 2/3 in 20yrs.

But its a new world we want a criminal that support's legal murder as president/support shoplifting love toxic work environments and have a mass casualty event every other day.

GhostMirror3d ago

I’ll admit I didn’t play it at launch, but Cyberpunk 2077 is a really good game now.

And who the hell knows what you’re even going on about in your second paragraph here.

EazyC4d ago

Wait a min...I swear to god CP2077's source code got leaked before. CDPR needs to stop using "password123" for all their accounts 😅

just_looken3d ago

Na its hundreds ex employees no doubt just getting there revenge.

Profchaos3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

This is the same leak the threat actors have been trying to sell the source code after cd project didn't pay the ransom.

They didn't manage to sell the source code to any company largely because it would be unethical for say EA to buy it so the threat actors failed to find a buyer.

After they failed to make any money they went through with their threat of simply giving it away.

They will need to add everything they promised in the first one and not over promise on the second one.

just_looken4d ago

They also need to drop esg then hire employees that have knowledge not hire them because they have a set of tits.

Official video they hired people to fill the esg clipboard

Hofstaderman4d ago (Edited 4d ago )

As somebody who has been playing the tabletop games since the 90s and was let down on launch by my PS4 version, you can bet I'm not going the preorder any sequel.

nmbr1esq4d ago

3rd person option, and everything else that was originally promised. Next don't force agenda driven naratives. Finally, release a finished product without need for day one patches.
