Topic: The everything Xbox thread

@rYu_hadouken: don't worry, they will get bored of it eventually

@Ryu_Niiyama Hey, blame @NEStalgia: he started it...

@Yosheel seriously?

It's been a month since I installed Forza Motorsport 7 and hadn't played it at all. Too busy on Horizon 4. However, I got an urge to play on my favourite track in the series, and oh boy. Compared to Horizon the vehicles feel real weighted. Heavy in steering, brakes, everything. I was only using a Mini Cooper as well, which feels real loose in Horizon.

@Ken_Niiyama Do I need another OCD Kitteh gif?

@NEStalgia y’all suck. Also did you edit that to make it work? I got a notification.

PS: ken sucks. Also I am not OCD! There is a structured way that things are done. I just like to see that... you know what? I’m going to leave it alone. I can already hear you giggling.

@NEStalgia Aw, SNES, now look what you've done. Be nice to the lady. We already got too few of them on here as is...

We are sorry, m'Ryu. (tips imaginary hat)

_{Ok ok I'll stop.}

Anyway... Xbox. Xbox? Oh right, Xbox. I'm still waiting for the sales to roll in. If they don't I'll give up and buy the Minecraft special edition console.

@Ryu_Niiyama It's elf magic. And you can hear it from there? Wow But I should give up before you become @Evil_Ryu_Niiyama

Meh I ‘m not going anywhere. I have to say something if it is addressed to me even when I know folks are trying to get my goat. (Shaddup NES)

As for me I am going to hold off on looking for a x till next year. I got through AC:Sparta with minimal issues beyond Ubisoft bugs and my tv is in storage anyway. I didn’t realize how robust the bc was on xbone as I was surprised to see some of my arcade games drift over. (I kinda bought it and didn’t use it due to lack of games) still awaiting crackdown 3.

@Ryu_Niiyama Well, in that case, you might wanna tune in to X018 this Saturday at 3PM CT, because the latest episode of Inside Xbox will then be broadcasted, and if I have to believe my fellow Xbox fans, I might just have to expect it to become a Crackdown 3 special, with some guest games thrown in for good measure...

I find it hard to care about Crackdown 3. It's been on the horizon forever.

Major Nelson revealed a bit more on his site for what's coming up.

A surprise or two, and a dozen game announcements for Game Pass. Plus the games previously mentioned on the Xbox Twitter.

Something is definitely in waiting. It's just a case of rumour confirmation or something completely new?

@DarthNocturnal Well, I won't go so far as to say that they are must-play/must have titles, but the Crackdown games can certainly be quite entertaining, both in single player and multiplayer mode, whether that be co-op or every man/woman for themselves. If you can grab a copy of the first for a nice price, it would definitely still be worth it, in my opinion. You should be able to find a physical copy for around 10 - 15 bucks.

@ThanosReXXX I will have to catch highlights. I will be at my no internet job by then. I will have to look and see if anything big that I care about is on the way.

@Ryu_Niiyama The show will probably be mentioned on the Xbox dashboard anyway, so you'll be able to watch it later. FYI: the event itself lasts two whole days, so 10 - 11 November, and the live streams of the event itself, the Xbox Fanfest, will be viewable on the Mixer app/page on the Xbox itself, and the Inside Xbox Episode will probably be pasted all over the dashboard, because presentations/videos always get uploaded after the live broadcast, so you'll find out anyway, if you boot up the console at a later time.

Wonder what types of events are outside the inside xbox segment?

@DarkRula "head of Microsoft studios, Matt Booty"

I'm curious, to end up with that name, do you have to offend a lot of gods, or please a lot of porn directors?

@NEStalgia Outside of the Inside Xbox presentation, it's just two days of show floor reports from the X018 Fanfest. Kind of like an Xbox-only mini-E3, from what I've understood, so possibly some off-screen gameplay of certain titles, interviews and so on.

Next Xbox hype video time!

Sources say that Microsoft has a plan to combat Sony's PS5 in an irresistible way that will make it very enticing to add Xbox to your favorite gaming platforms. Xbox is fast becoming the most flexible console and with new funding, there are some exciting things to come for the next Xbox console. All information here is derived from a source in talks with Xbox Division's plans.

The weird thing with the Xbox One X is that the next gen console surely can't be much more powerful than the X already is.
