3-4 solid titles in the presentation. Disappointed in Microsoft for mimicking Sony's bullshit marketing talk for Scarlett, true 8K and ray-tracing are not going to be doable. Especially with only AMD hardware.

oh and they used the same ssd thing lol, looks like next gen power is SSD power lol

 

[EmulateLife]

So if you want a bigger hard drive it's going to be expensive as hell no? Even though they'll probably give you a 2 TB hdd games will probably be 100-200 GB each.

 

[Xzi]

Yeah that's probably going to be the biggest upgrade from the current gen, and it's something PC gamers have been enjoying for nearly a decade.

Well a 4 TB SSD is only like, $530 on Amazon, what a deal!

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

 

[Xzi]

I threw up in my mouth a little when they showed a fucking Blair Witch Project game.

Tell me about it, the game somehow looks even worse than the movie was.

 

[pedro702]

i bet they will have a maximum of 1tb ssd per console imo.

 

[matthi321]

that was one of the worst e3 presentation i ever seen almost no gameplay

 

[KingVamp]

As someone that didn't watch Blair Witch, it just looks like any other horror game.

 

[the_randomizer]

i bet they will have a maximum of 1tb ssd per console imo.

Yeah, what a stupid way to do it, screw streaming gaming. No point in paying for games you can't keep.

 

[pedro702]

that was one of the worst e3 presentation i ever seen almost no gameplay

yeah what is the point of showing elden ring if its just cgi trailer? heck even dragon ball was like all cutscenes the gameplay we saw almost nothing and so on...

 

[EmulateLife]

i bet they will have a maximum of 1tb ssd per console imo.

Ok on this gen Red Dead Redemption 2 is 100 GB by itself. You know some games next gen will be bigger 150-200 GB. That's like 5 or 7 games and your hard drive is full.

 

[KingVamp]

Honestly, they need to just make multiple CD's standard and stop the internet install nonsense.

To be fair, their version of remote play is nice.

 

[Armadillo]

I think it will be 2tb as standard.

2TB can be got now for $220ish, that's with retailer mark up, distributors, gouging & just everyone taking their slice of the pie. In the huge volumes MS will order, they will be able to get a much better price on the ssd.

 

[EmulateLife]

Maybe you can install your games to Cloud and save space?

there are 500 gb ps4 consoles arent there? mine is lol, so yeah i dont doubt the standard will be 1tb ssd and then with added prices you will get 2tb and such sizes.

Launch PS4s and Xbox Ones were 500 gb. But now they upped them to 1 Tb on the newer models of both. It seems logical to me they'll double that for next gen but we'll see.

Unless you can install to cloud like I said 1 Tb will be a massive headache.

the entire thing is about cloud and streaming so they dont expect you to fill the hdd that much imo, i bet every game will have a cloud option if your paying for the service and you dont need it instaled on the console.

 

[Paulsar99]

Cyberpunk was the only thing I'm really interested with, halo infinite was ok, battletoads was disappointing, acquiring double fine was a surprise but it's also a hit and miss devs, meh on gears 5. Easy win for nintendo tomorrow.

 

[KingVamp]

I wonder how these Japanese titles will do on the Xbox.

 

[Xzi]

I wonder how these Japanese titles will do on the Xbox.

Well if it's any indication, like two people in the live audience clapped after a pretty great Tales of Arise trailer.
