Almost a 9/10 show. Great variety and high production values.
Xbox June Showcase 2024 (June 9th 10am PT / 1pm ET / 6pm BST)

DOOM looks amazing as expected. Can't wait for this one, literally the only game I can look forward to these days.
Excited for Gears, they seemed to have dropped the hot-turd multiple choice ending Gears 5 story (a monumentally dumb idea).
Fable looks amazing, made the mistake of reading the response on a certain gaming forum though. Actual face scans of real women really trigger some people.
Strong showing for sure. Going multiplatform shortly before such a strong Xbox showcase sure was a decision though.
MS have abandoned the Series full refresh, opting for minor storage, drive and colour options. Pretty good sign that MS are limping though this gen and pulling the trigger on next gen as early as practical.

The ftc leak showed a disappointing refresh with minor changes, instead of a midgen.
The real product was able to be disappointing even compared to the refresh.
So, no 6 nm? No changes other than removing the disc drive?

Won't 12 fps updates on the character animation do pretty much just that?
No usb4, no front port, no charging, no sleeper sleep, just remove the disc drive on one, and use a different ssd chip on the other.

Cyan posted IGN after showcase interview with Spencer in the Xbox M thread, as he all but confirms a portable Xbox, but though it probably goes here too.
Other bits I though were interesting:
Other bits I though were interesting:
- When discussion game diversity he mentioned the Unreal team. Presumably this is growing out of The Coalition and existing tech support team (that I can't remember the name of)
- One of The Initiative folks was demoing a playthrough of the Perfect Dark trailer mission the day before the show. It's perhaps less of a concept level that it looked to me.

Presumably needs to divide into 30 so 10 or 15?
Enjoyed the show. Xbox shows been getting better and better
Or do you think they just leave 5 ended the way it does (not played it but know theres 2 endings)
I hope they have gears ED and a 6.
@eastmen
As for it potentially coming 2025, very much doubt it. If it was they would've said, so I wouldn't expect it before 2026.
It's not like they've been shy just putting year even for things coming this year.
Hopefully they will start spreading things through the year because they haven't got to that point yet.
I don't know if they've dropped it or not.

Stop frame is typically 12 fps on 24 fps real. Matching the same look as the cinema would want the same irregular pacing. That said, I doubt 10 or 15 looks much different and would be easier.
They didn't mention PS5 at all. However, Phil went on to say in interview (I believe in the above IGN video) more games will be going cross platform and named Doom.

That was the only game with PS5 snuck onto the titles card at the end.
Nevermind.

My near perfect track record of wrong predictions remains.
What's curious to me is the comment at the end about next gen. I guess the rumour about 2026 is true. Ehh I don't know about this strategy
