@jonnyhollywood: PUBG won't have any One X enhancments until the final version of the game is released, which won't be until at least Spring next year. There is no reason to get an One X as it will be the same on the regular X1's.
What good would a couple of game announcments do for Xbox at Gamescom? None of them would release for at least 12 months, they can only release so many games in the first half or second half of the year. They have CD3, SoT, and SoD2 for early 2018, and Forza Hoirozn 4 for late 2018. I'll bet they delay Sea of Thieves to late 2018 as well and that's all the AAA games MS releases in 2018. I don't see them announcing anything new until E3 next year and other than Forza it won't release before 2019.
@kkdrummer: I agree it's toxic, I've reached my tipping point with Phil's BS PR speak. You probably don't remember that right after the Scalebound cancellation Phil released a statement on how great 2017 would be for Xbox and how CD3, SoD2, and SoT would be 2017 experiences that Xbox fans will be enjoying. None of them released this year, their AAA line-up consisted of an RTS and a sim-racer, 2 niche genres most gamers don't play. Or how about when Phil said they aren't doing 3rd party deals anymore so they could use those resources and focus on 1st party stuff. Maybe if Phil stopped the BS and stopped lying people wouldn't be so toxic.
Is it dumb? Maybe, but then so is pre-ordering a $500 console when the company doesn't even support it with any new games people actually want to play. I hope you enjoy Super Lucky's Tale and Forza 7 though.
@lionheartssj1: Are you serious? It's not going to sell out, at $500, lack of new exclusives, and the Switch and PS4 dominating you'll be able to walk in to any store and get one with out pre ordering it.
No clue why anyone would preorder this now. MS isn't even supporting their own console launch with games... oh that's right, there's Super Lucky Tales... what a joke.
Say what you want about Don Mattrick, but at least he never had a line-up as bad as Halo Wars 2 and Forza 7, I hope Xbox Fanboys finally start seeing Phil Spencer for the fake that he is. Tells you what you want to hear but has zero follow through on getting it done.
@speed45823: You think Vivendi would be, or do, better at making video games? You should do more research about them before you jump in that boat. While I understand you hate Ubi and their games, it would be bad for the industry if they were taken over by them. Especially if it's a messy take over, the Guillemot's would end up being bought out, and could take the development talent with them.
There's only so many big 3rd party game publishers, losing one means less games.
@Starshine_M2A2: Yep...you better let everyone know EA lied about removing games from the EA Access vault and that people will now have to settle for... FIFA 15 or FIFA 16 instead of FIFA 14... the horror of it all should not go unnoticed by the gaming community...
@NaturallyEvil: They have, they usually add the latest FIFA, Madden, and NHL games to the vault 9 months after their release. There are plenty of other FIFA's in the vault.
