Phil did say that 2021 is when we would feel the effects of Covid-19 on game development.

I remember this one, really witty. Xbox social media is top-of-the-line.

I saw no less than three different YouTubers having to explain how this didn't mean that Halo was coming over to Switch.

The Lightning trilogy running at 60fps would set my heart on fire! 😍

@mousieone
Or dig the franchise an early grave. 😓

R-Type made me fall in love with shmups. 😍

@JetmanUK @Medic_Alert
Agreed. Hades is what we want. 😍

With support like this, Xbox fortunes in Japan will be different this time around.

That green heart on the tweet though... 😎

Halo Xtreme Beach Volleyball. 😍

A stable 60fps is upgrade enough.

@Royalblues
I share your cautious optimism. 😄

Famitsu did an unboxing as well. About damn time MS treated Japan as a tier-1 country.

@InterceptorAlpha
Fallout 3 is excellent.

@graysoncharles
Android (iOS, eventually) and Steam are not MS platforms; Game Pass, Xbox and Windows 10 are.

How is the UI rendering at 1080p "unacceptable"? How has this low-res UI compromised his gaming experience now? 😕

@HotGoomba
That's not just any wired controller. It's the Fighting Commander, perfect for fighters, brawlers and platformers. I still have my original white FC and it still works.

Do we have a list of the 36 countries that are included in the world wide release?

@BlueOcean
From the article:

""We have no further information on if Final Fantasy 16 will be released on platforms other than the PS5," a Square Enix spokesperson told me, the tape on their mouth beginning to inhibit oxygen flow." 😨🙊😂

@MedaXbot
Indeed. Xbox could use more anime content, so I too had hoped this would end up being something important.

@Octane
Okay. Have they issued a statement correcting the Spider-Man: Miles Morales on PS4 news? 'Cause, you know, "generations" and all that?

Why is Game Spark reporting Demon's Souls as a PS5/PC title? Is Sony really doing day and date PC releases now?

@playstation_king
It said "other platforms", in the plural. It will come to Xbox, no matter how much you want it not to. 😎

@BlueOcean
According to an insider, the higher-ups at Capcom weren't exactly happy with the current state of SFVI.

"[Laughs] There’s plenty of time to save $300 before the game comes out. The PlayStation 4 is at a very attractive price point at the moment. [Laughs]"

May he step on a rusty nail on his way out from Capcom. 😈

@mousieone
They released a No More Heroes game and, wasn't Marvelous involved with Swery's Deadly Premonition?

@Jaxx420
Isn't Sea of Thieves its own genre, though? The question is, can they do it again?

I enjoyed the original, so I'll be going through this one, too. I hope NSLT gets a physical release, as well.

I'm taking a break from Sea of Thieves while I try to tackle my ever expanding backlog. I'm very much into platformers at the moment. 😅

@MaccaMUFC
Exactly. I almost hope they decide not to make an Xbox One compatible version. 😅

Outer Worlds is such a colorful game, so I think it will benefit greatly from a 4K60 patch. I can't even imagine what it would look like on an OLED with HDR enabled. 😍

@Dezzy70
If you're trying to tell me that SeX is somehow going to do worse than Xbox One in the UK, I've got some snake oil to sell you. 😂

@Ryall
A very good reasoning, you have. A lot of visual improvement can be accomplished without having to rework the entire game. The important thing is that the core experience, the gameplay, seems to be what they got right from the start. That's what will carry Halo, and Halo fans, going forward.

Just Cause 3 at a rock-solid 30fps, confirmed! 😂

@Jaxx420
THAT would be AAAA territory. 😮

@Jaxx420
No way they're making a JRPG. You want a JRPG, you get a japanese studio to make you one.

@Dezzy70
Let's have this conversation again when the game releases, and we see how it looks and plays. If you're still left disappointed, then you can tell me, "I told you so".

"I'm just not a loyalist like some. I can see the good and the bad. And as I said to the other fella, you want to pick up on any negative thing I say but nothing else I say on here -"

What exactly did you see that's "bad" about Playground respecting the legacy of the [Fable] series? What, if anything, have you had to say about what the article reads, that's even remotely positive?

"The difference with me and you is I'm happy to hear a counterpoint and make my case you just want to discredit the person making the point."

A counterpoint to what? Rare was never mentioned in the article; it has no bearing in what's being discussed. You're the one who wanted to start something, not us.

@Tharsman
Of course, but it's a lot easier to blame MS/Xbox for everything. 😑

I like it that both cross-play and cross-progression are becoming launch features in games. This should be the standard going forward. 😊

I think that several projects are underway at The Initiative. The sheer amount of talented people at that studio makes it very likely. Maybe Perfect Dark AND Crimson Skies? 😍

@Dezzy70
Does it run at 4K and 60fps? 😏

@Medic_Alert
"...you love to assume people who don't agree with you are PS fanboys don't you?"

No. I understand people who constantly whine to be whiners, and people who sprout negative comments on every single article, do not strike me as Xbox fans.

"But you two getting all sanctimonious over what people should and shouldn't do on this site and with their money..."

Spare us. Nobody has even attempted to tell you what you can or cannot do with your money. Whining is free, after all.

"I'm not going to stop trying to have open and honest conversations about games and gaming."

Bringing up Rare as "proof" of how badly MS has handled beloved IPs, while you purposefully ignore the quality and track record of the studio that's actually working on Fable, is NOT having an honest conversation. Why don't you bring up The Coalition or Mojang? Right, because they don't suit your narrative.

@KelticDevil
I don't understand why he brought up Rare to begin with. Playground is a very talented studio which has proven to be extremely competent as well, so I think Fable is in good hands. This chronic whining that seems to be a staple of every Xbox related article as of late is unwelcomed and needs to stop.

I'm thinking overpriced keyboards and mice. 😑

@Medic_Alert
I don't remember Crackdown 3 ever being a Rare IP. Nice goalpost moving, by the way.

@Jaxx420
Gabe talks to devs and knows a lot of insiders. I believe that, had he tried to elaborate on his preference, he just would've ended up making things worse.

Edit: Maybe MS bought $250mil worth of Valve stock. 😮

@roe
I would very much like the same, yes.

@Medic_Alert
Like Killer Instinct or Sea of Thieves, for instance? Do tell us more about this, "blind optimism".

How about you give us a physical release, MDHR? 😕
