I found this concept pretty neat. This console wont sell million of units each quarter, but from a gaming perspective, this is interesting. Thanks to switch, are we going back to the retro era, of quality 2-2.5D platformers, remastered in HD? I hope aaa studios like capcom and konami start making 2-2.5D games again.

or, we can just halo infinite each other...

I dont see @ACIDICBRAT around these days. Great guy. Got my first xbox 360 from him!

Consider they make halo episodic, how would that work with the game pass system. ? You would not need the base game to play expansions or something else.

SO there is a possibility that MS might jack up xpass subscription rates in future.

I dont think this model can work for long. Specially when games these days cost several millions to make.

GaaS is systematically destroying gaming as we know it. Nintendo and Sony- last bastions of quality gaming experiences. I hope they never turn to such gimmicks to earn cash. Ps- I reckon they would never do that. These japs have a culture of excellence ingrained. They would never give us sub par experiences just to grab some quick cash.

Then force WB to churn out episodic batman games. NO!!!

Bring back Seamus Blackley!!

maybe. But Xbox as a brand was huge during the 360 days. had plenty of exclusives and used to compete with PS and Nintendo. Now, Sony and Nintendo would define the industry.

these loot boxes, skins, PVP games etc are akin to quick cash grabs. No innovation, nothing.

Stand alone exclusives, that have great single player experiences define what gaming is supposed to be IMHO.

but you wont need 2080ti to run halo infinte at 60fps. Even a 10xx card would slay the title at 60fps.

But that wont motivate developers to innovate. Just imagine your hard work being distributed for free that too on day one.
