Phil Spencer led the conversation.
The X018 show last year was oppressive with a word. There were a whole series of announcements that meant nothing but nothing, a two-hour time-consumer that was capped Eins remarkable announcement of a few other high-profile studio acquisitions for Microsoft. It was a bit confusing that Microsoft felt the need for a whole event when it obviously did not have the content that justified it at all.
Phil Spencer, the new head of Xbox, has responded to feedback. He has expressly acknowledged the criticism of Xbox for a long time and sworn to address them. He has actually responded to these promises, which must be a dramatic change from the routine of a large corporation. The Xbox One hardware was criticized. We have the Xbox One S and Xbox One X; The status of Microsoft in relation to exclusive studios and studios of first providers was criticized. Spencer finally launched the purchase of half a dozen studios to compensate for this. Microsoft's PC Gaming Efforts were relieved and rejected by PC players. Spencer went to these problems by setting a PC version for all Microsoft games, introducing a new shopfront that is much better than the train accident in the Microsoft Store, Game Pass on the PC and also the Microsoft Support of Steam resumed.
So it is suggested that X01 would be better in response to the criticism of X018. I just was not prepared wie much better because it feels like one of Microsoft's strongest shows in many years in the last ten years. In the solution of the core complaints with X018 Spencer and the company have also addressed two very significant problems that Xbox otherwise had a very long time. Let's get to you soon. First of all, I would like to talk about the show itself.
The show itself was, with a word, extreme, _ owner_ good. It was well produced, it was good, it did not have too much filler or unpleasant segments that only served to wake the interest of the audience, and the focus was largely on games and play-related things. And these announcements also had a lot to offer: Obsidian and Rare each announced a new IP, the former with Geerdet, which looks like an adorable survival RPG at a smaller scale (wordplay intended) and the kind of game that is perfect for the game Add passport library. Rarely, on the other hand, Ewild, which looks graphically stunning and focused on something The legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. We actually know much less about _everwild as we eretet It is exactly the kind of exclusive game announcement, which Microsoft needs to interest people for the Xbox Scarlett.
Then there was another stuff: we had to see it _ age of Imperia IV_ Last! And it looks great. Graphically it is breathtaking and in relation to the backdrop it seems to go back to the Middle Ages - what is the case _ age of Imperial II_ was the most popular game in the series (indeed one of the most popular games) je), is it useful evoke this. We have the announcement of sag me why, a brand new dontnod IP, which will be available in an impressive coup for Microsoft exclusively for Xbox and PC (Xbox Game Studios publish, so the chances that you achieve other platforms appear low) . Microsoft has managed to solve the Japanese game failure frontal with yakuza 0, Yakuza Kiwami, Yakuza Kiwami 2, and every Kingdom Hearts collection on PS4, all confirmed for Xbox One - and as Game Pass games day and date as game pass games! Goddamn_.
And then there was still Xcloud. At a time in which the stadiums seem to fail before they are balanced, Microsoft had almost effortlessly appearing thanks to the seemingly incorrect management of scope and expectations on monumental level. It is expected to run next year on the PC and in the beta version on PS4 und Xbox One Controller and Microsoft have already confirmed over 50 games for the service at the start. This is more than the number of games that Stadia has confirmed overall for this period.
At each front, Microsoft shot on all cylinders. They had the games, they had the services and they have painted what was in my opinion an extremely important picture for them: the image of a brand that is healthy and new pulses receives themselves from all levels from the organization. These things are important as the continued support of a console, even if it fails, even if a new generation is around the corner, often leads to an early momentum in the next generation. Just ask Sony that held at the PS3 and made countless impressive games and exclusive products until 2013 to give the customer so much trust in Sony that you can buy PS4 for sales start in record numbers. Microsoft, which further secures all these games and deals for Xbox One, if it could be so good to ignore this console and try to get the scarlett as strong as possible from the window, actually increases consumer confidence and commitment For the brand and a sense of dynamics - all this should ultimately help that Xbox has a much stronger start to the next generation than this time.
It is also impressive as X019 demonstrated that Microsoft has torn one of the most common criticisms in itself: the lack of games. This was best demonstrated in the past on the basis of their publication plan: For example, consider that their publications in 2019 passed Prange 3 in February then Tahnräder 5 in September and the Wars. That was all they had. This is far from the games that you have planned for the next year, such as Grounded, Bleeding Edge, Psychonauts 2, Halo Infinite, ORI and the will of the Irish Lights, _ _Wasteland 3, Minecraft Dungeons, _ and _SAG me why In principle, a larger game is released in principle every two months. Although everyone is not exclusive, as the studios had previously agreed before they were acquired, but this points to a very important fact: Microsoft now has enough content to achieve this type of release cadence, and once for Their studios are fulfilled the obligations they had received before publishing should increase their list of exclusive enormously.
And of course, it would be a mystery, if I would not point out how overjoyed I was that Microsoft was the only problem that the existence of Xbox has shaped in the last two decades, the lack of meaningful Japanese support . This is a problem that Phil Spencer has saved several times in the past, and he spoke of his wish to address it. We have seen that the problem was fixed in the form of major Japanese AAA games, which are also found on Xbox. This has further skipped the Xbox, in favor of presumably green grazing on PlayStation and Nintendo. But the announcement of yakuza, _ This is a signal that it could change (_kingdom Hearts is only the Icake of the cake) and seems to indicate that we will not be very surprised in the future if a persona or drachen Quest game also came to Xbox.
The best part is that Microsoft pushes to the recording in Game Pass, as this shows me that you are trying to fix this problem in the long term rather than just get brownie points with some late ports here and now. See, the reason why Japanese games Xbox often skip often is the general assumption that there is no audience for you on the console. Conversely, there is no audience on the console because there is no Japanese games on the Xbox. HENNE EI problem, right?
So here we are with some of the best Japanese games on offer (final fantasy, yakuza, kingdom hearts), all on Game Pass, which most Xbox owners already subscribe. Well, the players who perhaps have heard of these games but they did not try, they play and many maybe they like - enough that they want to buy newer games in these series in the future. Microsoft thus bypasses the core problem by cultivating an audience to Xbox for Japanese games.
So yes, on all fronts Microsoft was in flames yesterday. I just do not think of a bad thing I could say. Console wars and brand fans will continue to spit nonsense and waste, but they are not saved anyway. For normal people who are fans of the medium, it is exciting that the Xbox continues their game - a rising flood finally raises all boats.
