Jesus wept, these consoles have become a joke. This was the only thing I was looking forward to this year after it was confirmed no ratchet or horizon at launch.

What now? Patches for a higher res Cyberpunk and Valhalla? Seriously?

I've zero interest in a shitty looking not-spiderman DLC. But I've gotta sell my ps4 PRO soon while it retains some value.

How can both companies KNOW they're going for a 2020 release and not have absolute kiloton nuke software ready to drop? How do you fuck up that badly?

Here's every confirmed PlayStation 5 launch title

PS5 launch titles you should expect include 'Spider-Man Miles Morales', 'Astro's Playroom', 'Bugsnax', and more.

People should look at the PS5 launch lineup. I honestly still wonder if people have actually looked at it.

There's literally nothing there lol. Nothing for either console.

 

[IShowUBasics]

Looking forward to the Digital Foundry 2021 comparison where all of a sudden they notice the issues with the older 2020 showcase.

Finally Alex will notice the problems everyone else saw from the first time they saw the trailer. Anyway as long there are enough 3rd party titles releasing xbox should be fine.

 

[beni12]

Their best option now is to get a big third party game for gamepass at launch like AC or cyberpunk.

Xbox Series X Launches this November with Thousands of Games Spanning Four Generations

Xbox Series X Launches this November with Thousands of Games Spanning Four Generations - Xbox Wire

Today, we announced updates to Halo Infinite’s launch timing. Our vision at Xbox and 343 Industries has always been to deliver the most ambitious Halo game ever for our fans, while also balancing the team’s well-being. To do that, we will need some more time to finish the critical work...

news.xbox.com

It's ok. You can buy our new system play our old games instead. That's some interesting marketing.

But what does it matter if SX is released to run xbox one games?

did not see? xbox "fans" were more concerned with rumors of a multiplatform game running 1080p on PS5.

 

[INC]

Sad, but this was 100% the right call.

For all my jesting, it is

Hey PlayStation Sony the ball is in your court.. everything this summer leading up to next gen has gone your way, perfectly.. and you barely even had to lift a finger..

The stars are aligned.. don’t fuck it up! Be smart! Be better!

 

[Oddvintagechap]

Actually free bad. Thankfully Xbox is owned by Microsoft. Otherwise I would feel like shit for the company. Just bad.

[DeeDogg_]

“Covid” lmao

 

[Romulus]

I would prefer 2022 honestly. A year away looks far too soon. That demo looked like something on PS4 Pro Dreams made by a few 343i guys over the course of a few months.

 

[Warnen]

Beyond me why either of these consoles are launching this year. Nothing is ready.

 

[Falc67]

And there it is. Now people trying to say 'it looked good' can do one. It looked atrocious and has all the hallmarks of dev hell.

That’s what got me. People still praised it.

 

[oldergamer]

yup no point in launching it if its not ready.

 

[Chairman]

That was the right decision. Hopefully its delayed till late 2021 to give the team time to restructure and restart.

 

[ACESHIGH]

Unless you are a shareholder (or a warrior) I don't understand the concern for the Series X launch. If you buy a console at launch it's because you like the specs or ecosystem. Typcally launch windows are terrible. In November/December everyone will be playing Cyberpunk 2077 anyway.

 

[PropellerEar]

V Voost Kain in January:

I can't see how anyone could give 343 a chance on Halo Infinite after Halo 5. They have made only one tolerable game in their entire existence.

People are excited by the false promises and trailers that the 343 Idiots call HALO INFINITE, but I can see through them right quick. They grab you with all the flash but then when you receive the game you have nothing but lies, poor design, and poor experiences. I gave them numerous chances...

I think I am officially bailing. Neither one of these deserver consumers money at this point.

 

[BoxFresh123]

So Halo Infinite is in reference to the dev cycle?

 

[magaman]

Why launch these consoles? Neither Sony nor MS has anything to work from. Neither of these consoles have anything to speak of. Why buy them in year 1? Nothing of value is there, and nothing of value WILL be there for 8-12 months.

Pathetic launch window for both companies. Embarrassing.

 

[Wimbledon]

They did the right thing doing this.

Now Phil quietly gets rid of the last-gen version Halo infinite and just makes it exclusive to XsX and PC.

So you take your info from Inverse.com? They're hardly a well known or industry leading gaming website.? They know literally nothing more than the info Sony have put out and that everybody else has. They deal in speculation. You will know what the final launch line up is when PS announce it, as it probably hasn't even been finalised. Until then

 

[kyoji]

I have a strange theory on whats going on over there at xbox, ive been pondering on this for a little while now and if they announce series s this all but confirms my crazy theory.

I really think series s was MS's planned entry into next gen as the flagship hardware, The plan was to be a upgrade over the xbox one x and beat sony in pricing, I think somewhere along the way they got tipped off about ps5 either thru a 3rd party or some other source and they paniced because they couldnt afford to be behind sony spec wise again, so they played there mid next gen refresh card early (series x). I'd imagine conversations were had where MS engineers assured the bosses that they could have the series X ready by launch. This would explain why we really havent seen any games running on the hardware and everything mostly built around the pc specs. It would also explain halo's current state because they have not had much dev time with the series x specs. they were building around the S.

I admitt it sounds super farfetched, but its something that crossed my mind, im not trying to dirty up the xbox it has enough problems as is and halo being delayed doesnt help, I do think it would be interesting if this were true though and were to come out down the line as news. It would explain alot at least in my mind as far as whats going on with there games, and how they choose to reveal them at there last couple of shows.

Again im just thinking out loud, either way im curious as to what they will do now that halo is officially delayed, 343 has been working on the game for years and although covid has impacted all devs, they should have been far enough along to overcome it. Alot of wasted time if you ask me, but a good decision non the less, they were more or less sending the game out to walk the plank sort to speak.

 

[THE:MILKMAN]

This is reminding me how Driveclub's development went down.

 

[Aion002]

They should delay the console too.

Launch it with Halo Infinite, wait and see how Playstation will do... Prepare the launch according to the time and stuff...

 

[Jadsey]

Halo Infinite is starting to look like Scalebound 2.0

I thought XSX sales were going to be very low, but this will give PS5 an even bigger advantage.

Jim Ryan must be bathing in Vintage Dom Perignon right now.

 

[Mr. Nobody]

With this title pushed back into "2021", is there a reason to actually purchase an Xbox Series console, either X or S, this year at all? In fact, is there a reason to pick up any console, from team blue or green, this year unless an existing one breaks? Right now I'm just hoping that there is something worth playing at the end of this year that warrants a GPU upgrade.

This delay, while desperately needed, is just flat out depressing and a good representation of this year as a whole.

 

[xrnzaaas]

It's a good decision to delay the game rather than try to release it in its current state at all costs.

 

[Warnen]

Playstation 5 launch titles:

Spider man DLC
Spider man in avengers


come back in 2021

 

[GHG]

They did the right thing doing this.

Now Phil quietly gets rid of the last-gen version Halo infinite and just makes it exclusive to XsX and PC.

And throw away 5 (?) years of development that has centered around making sure it can also release on the Xbox One?

Not a chance.

 

[FMX]

Ouch, so Xbox launching with nothing and ps5 has a demo like spider man game. Safe to say skip them both this year.

You might me on to something there brother.

 

[Sota4077]

What on earth are they going to launch with? That’s absolutely a devastating blow

Game Pass? Literally 100's of games. They'll be fine.

 

[FireFly]

Why not just delay the Series X? Who's going to buy it right now?

People who want to play Cyberpunk and don't have a high end PC?

 

[xrnzaaas]

Playstation 5 launch titles:

Spider man DLC
Spider man in avengers


come back in 2021

There's still a chance Gran Turismo 7 might release this year.

 

[Sony]

Oof. I hope it's for the better.

 

[Wimbledon]

And throw away 5 (?) years of development that has centered around making sure it can also release on the Xbox One?

Not a chance.

A man can hope

 

[Bo_Hazem]

 

[Vawn]

I posted it as a joke but this game needed delaying.

I agree. Just reminding a delay doesn't mean a game will necessarily eventually be good, it just means it definitely isn't good right now.

 

[INC]

You might me on to something there brother.

I'd go with that, if you were planning on buying both, just buy a pc, get game pass, save up for which console has performed better in a year or 2

 

[Knitted Knight]

For the best.

BTW, after Halo Infinite releases... Fire Bonnie Ross... for complete and utter mismanagement, and fire Phil too for allowing that shit to go on doing nothing and watching it blow up in his face. Peter Moore is available.

Make Xbox great again. Hire Peter Moore.

Sidenote: Lol at that launch line up.

 

[Tulipanzo]

By this point the PS5 could launch with just Bugsnax and still win

 

[PropellerEar]

Matt Booty needs to go, I would axe Phil too.
