That's why I think Spawn is good. It's dark and gritty, he has some cool powers that aren't represented in gaming really, and he has obvious weaknesses as well. I could see Spawn filling that vicious God of War 1-3 void, or even scaling back to more of an Arkham scale where it can still be dark but not too graphic.

With mutants and Fantastic Four on the verge of joining the MCU perhaps there is where the opportunity exists. A comic book property in general isn't something I've felt like was missing though.

It's really just missing stuff like Horizon or Uncharted...games that aren't Gears or Forza. I'm sure they're working on stuff like this as well (and Obsidian RPG like Outer Worlds will be nice).

I don't miss a comic franchise, more just miss the variety of games but they're working on that. If some of the cancelled games had hit better then it would have help (Scalebound should have been fun!)

I watched that Digital Foundry breakdown of the XsX's design and I came away very impressed. It is a beast. The GPU power they squeezed in there with the efficient airflow and it is still supposed to be as quiet as the One X, pretty amazing.

I am expecting to pay at least 499 bucks but we will see how that goes.

The first party lineup may pale compared to Sony's but I think MS will bridge that gap as the generation progresses. Game Pass is such a great deal too, what a killer backlog waiting to happen for anyone just discovering it.

I plan on getting both consoles at launch, provided I can get them without too much hassle. As long as I can get both for around the price of the newest iPhone I'm good. My wife buys the newest model every other year. I expect to get 8 to 10 years of quality gaming out of these. That's great value IMO.

Always nice to hear Phil talk shop.

Just came to post that interview with Spencer. Good interview and info. Can definitely see only a few launch titles from Microsoft with the majority being third parties. Halo Infinite, Gears Tactics (console) and Forza Horizon 5 would still be an amazing launch as all three have the opportunity to be 90+ at launch. That would be one hell of a way to kick off Xbox Series X.

I listened to it yesterday, its always good to hear Phil talk shop. He always comes across as being very transparent. I like when Tyan asked him about The PS5 reveal and his answer about the Series X. .
As I mentioned before, they have the Ecosystem in place, now they just need to nail the games, and I think they're going to do that this time around.

They're variable and competitive on price from reading articles from Phil. It's going to be interesting, but I'm guessing they won't be a lot more than 50 bucks more. Not sure if PS5 can pull off 400 or not, but if it's 450 then MS will probably be ok at 500 unless they really want to hit Sony and pay for it.

I saw they don't have a optical audio jack and Phil was saying that it's about cost/reward, so you gotta know they're trying to keep prices down a lot.
