Jez is such a troll! I can't tell if Rand is playing it straight pokerface or is oblivious to Jez trolling. 2 shows sounds great though

Both of them definitely know something.

They should make it like a Xbox Sunday, have the Xbox show in the morning, and Bethesda Show in the Evening. Right now I'm not sure they have enough content ready to make it 2 shows, but next year they will have to have two. There is no way they can fit in, Xbox First Party, Bethesda, Activision, Blizzard, Third Party marketing partners in a 90 minute show...In Fact they may not be able to do it this year either. Alternatively when E3 reopens, have one show on Sunday and another on Tuesday, that way they get the user mind share from day one, and after all the other news take over the hype they get everyone's attention again near the end.

They don't have a lot of games ready to release. Most games hit 2023 and beyond.

@@Rapunzel879 That's why I said, I'm not sure if they have enough content for two shows this year, but next year 90 minutes will be a struggle. though did concede even for this year they may struggle to fit everything in. (As we have no idea what the state of any of their games are.)

I give halo infinite 9/10 i liked campaign with that amazing grapple hook

This year should be three shows. Two for each publisher Microsoft owns, XBGS and Bethesda. Then a 3rd show with deep dives, interviews with the Developers and maybe some Dev Diaries. Add on an extra show next year for each publisher MS acquires (Act/Blizz/ King)

It was a Bangin’ show…thx so much 💯🔥🔥🔥

Thats funny man when u said I’m for sale Elon lol

I’m wondering if they’ll announced the Elite Series 3 controller in June.

There really is always that 1 player on opposing Halo team during Arena that has insane KDA compared to everyone else. The person who someone always seems to hit long-range sniper shots using short and midrange weapons, lol.

only 2 maps? I know People who plays CounterStrike since 1.06 and every new CS and only Dust_2 for Years.

If Amazon is even half serious about Luna and pushing gaming, I can see them or even Netflix snapping up Ubisoft. They'd get a huge library of popular if derivative games.

If 343 is having so much problems with Halo infinite maybe they could focus on halo the Master Chief collection I've been having problems making custom games on the entire Master Chief collection of all their games including ODST and Halo reach and also the firefight he keeps saying untrusted file for whatever reason sometimes even my forge maps as well does the same thing they could fix that problem.

Respawn tickets are a huge buzz kill. I don’t think that’s going to hit with BR fans (who they’re apparently trying to bring in). The big draw of BR is the tension and high stakes. Respawns should be rare and earned (either by the player (eg Warzone’s gulag) or their team), never guaranteed.

Xbox hit gold with series s as they can reportedly produce two series s in place of a series x which is really critical during chip shortage.Also, Game pass is the biggest contributor to this turnaround.

Halo Infinite campaign is awesome, excellent game. I avoid games that don’t have a single player campaign. I like multiplayer games and play my fair share but I like campaign included

The idea by Jez of a Halo Infinite hero shooter is great... As long as one of the brute skins is Craig... Imagine being dominated by someone with Craig face...

that'd be sick

When has mission select ever been a thing in an open world game before? Is there really a single game thats ever had that? Even if there is one, it isn't a common thing, so not sure why Rand is taking so long to be added is so weird.

Jez and Rand ...it's not about overwork...like 500 people took 1 year to put 2 maps and just one complete new mode ? Its not a good look for a AAA studio and MS's top franchise. Why Forza 5 launches with complete content and they are still updating. 343 is working on this game since 2016 man ...it's not fair to let this bad management at Xbox and 343 go away. Campaign is not free to play, why co-op is launching so late ? Even forge will launch as a beta in November..like 11 months after launch bro... It's just frustrating...2 maps for 1 year 😖

Totally agree Ubisoft isn't worth buying. If Embracer has hundreds of studios that need more IP then good for them, Microsoft is IP rich already.

Xbox no on Ubisoft. Buy NeatherRealm and let’s get going on Killer Instinct sequel. The first developer that made KI was amazing. It’s time for another game!!!!!!!

Wait ... Too soon to see gameplay on fable?! How many fookin years does it take to make a fookin game guys Jesus! But also, of they have all these projects and games how is it they have had 6-7 years of Phil Spencer and they haven't hardly had sh1t? I'm really over all the talk

I love you guys but you're capping too much lately. Halo 4, 5, MCC and now Infinite. At what point do we stop making excuses? You guys used to be very critical of Xbox and that's why they are in such a strong position today. But lately you're just shilling. Was there a pandemic as well when Halo 4 launched in the awful state it did? What about 5? What about MCC. Playground games can release 2 games in 6 years with so much content WITHOUT crunch & during a pandemic but 343 that's triple PG size can only release 2 maps in a year? If you believe that I have a bridge to sell you. Please don't become shills of the Xbox community. I loved you guys exactly because you didn't lean any side and were ruthless when it was needed. I don't see that anymore despite plenty of reasons to be so.

I would pay 5$ a month just to not see all the promoted BS tweets, they are often every other tweet now.

breaking records? for what? the lowest selling console? XD XD XD

Really tired of Rand going on these long rants about playstation fanboys...

343 is the worst AAA studio on the planet and it's not close

343 got a full year extra and put nothing out. They got extra months from when the original season 2 would be out and still have nothing. No other AAA studio gets that much time and releases a game 40% complete at best
