In the Nintendo E3 thread I did a "What I want, and What I expect post for Nintendo." https://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=9299006 Microsoft's event is next, so I might as well post what I want, and what I expect from them...
What I want from Microsoft...
Hey guys, we have Starfield to show you! It's got a completely brand new engine built from the ground up! We finally ditched creation engine! Check out this kickass lore and these amazing alien designs! We don't have warp speed in this game. Instead you fast travel via stargates, or something else original.
Here's the Perfect Dark game, with gameplay footage! We are staying true to the series roots. Will be out 2022.
Banjo Kazooie is back! Banjo 3 releases this fall!
Here's a new Fallout game made by Obsidian!
Here's Halo Infinite, and it doesn't have microtransactions or GaaS game design. It's vastly improved over last year's trailer.
What I expect from Microsoft...
Here's Starfield. It's a fairly paint by numbers Bethesda game, complete with dungeons that have been rubber stamped into the game. Ya know how every other dungeon in Fallout 4 or Oblivion was just lazily thrown together? Yeah, this is that, but in space! Oh yeah, we're still using Creation engine for this one. Also here's some dumb cosmetic MTX thrown into the game. Have fun grinding for that.
Look at all these 3rd party games that "Play best on Series X". As you can see here from this Digital Foundry video, once you zoom in on the mud on the ground you can see that Series X textures are just ever so slightly better than PS5 textures!
Hey guys remember [Insert random game series that has been 3rd party multiplat for the last 15 years]? We bought them out! Now this game series can only be played on PC and Xbox! And if you're really a simp you can play on your Smartphone via Xcloud! Anyway, here at Xbox we're all about everyone being able to play the games they love on the devices they love!*
*So long as it's by subscribing to our services!
Here's Halo Infinite! We designed it to compete with Fortnite! Every week there will be a battle pass, and some dumb $10 skins, and a new pointless cameo!
Here's your yearly Forza game! Are you tired of this franchise yet?
Also we'd like to take the time to engage in some Texas Sharpshooting! *Proceeds to commit the Texas Sharpshooter fallacy repeatedly while quoting sales and revenue data.*
