Microsoft/Xbox has alluded to thing's with it's marketing in the past - and then followed it up with actual tangible gaming hardware/services
Most notable, the lead up to gamepass and the ad campaigns that synergized with said gamepass service.
So I figure, 4 years down the road - Microsoft will revise its launch campaign message with some new service or piece of hardware that allows users to literally - somehow -
become the "future of gaming" be that because a new piece of hardware captures and transposes facial animations and actions into the game, maybe because we are
fast approaching a world where immersive reality through actually tapping into the game with our mind is going to become a thing. Who knows, but Microsoft notably does
this with it's ad campaigns and magazine spreads - they say or allude to something bigger, then try to follow up with tangible examples. There are obviously other Market's Microsoft has yet to fully dive into *cough*
But I wonder if anything will be revealed in the coming week - I mean, of course - something - will be revealed - but gamepass as a service and a new piece of hardware or 2 doesn't particularly make "YOU" the future of gaming.
Yes it's a very positive gamer centric message, and good on Microsoft for using it - but as history has shown - theirs probably more to that message than most realize.
Maybe they're going to make the Oasis, that'd be something.
I expect, at the very least - a new variant of Mixer on steroids.
Something that allowed in the end, audience participation in a game by dropping mass amounts of enemies and items in the players vicinity while utilizing team based gameplay - which actually... was... pretty cool in it's final form.
They quickly axed the project just as they had seemed to figure out a better/more interactive solution to audience interaction than mere chatroom participation.
But I'd rather see something closer to the oasis as far as participation is concerned. If this new slogan actually amounts to anything at all
- Gaf - Thoughts?
