Xbox's Summer Showcase Leaked... - Gears 6, New CoD, & MORE! | Defining Duke, Episode 171

It's a little early for the usual summer showcase leaks, but here we are nonetheless! Gears Of War stands shoulder-to-shoulder with Halo when it comes to importance during the Xbox 360 generation. Despite that, the series has never earned itself the "Master Chief Collection treatment" nor has developer The Coalition received its flowers for its consistency during a barren generation. With insiders already hyping up Gears 6 behind the scenes, the Dukes discuss what Xbox coudl do to make the most of this moment. At the same time, this showcase is seemingly being set up to cast a wide net. While 2023's summer show featured a look at the slate of first party studios that Xbox has acquired over the years plus a strong Japanese presence, it appears this is going to be the first time Activision defines a showcase. It's been said that Call Of Duty Black Ops: Gulf War is set to be revealed during this show. Perhaps more interesting, Xbox has invested in a "game preservation team" with insiders suggesting more announcement beyond just a new Call Of Duty being present for the franchise. Could backwards compatibility be making a return and how far will they go? Plus more on Xbox's next console, how Sea Of Thieves is possibly a testbed for more Xbox games heading to PS5, and so much more!

As someone who doesn’t have a next gen console (at this point current console generation), I am happy to skip out, relying on my massive backlog. However, my Dad (as an Xbox and LoZ; BotW & TotK fan) is all ready to get an Xbox Series X, not to try new things but to have that back comp..

Calling dead space the best survival horror when its not even survival, its straight up action horror like RE4.. Rule of rose/clocktower/RE2/SH2 are all survival horror goats.

You can't keep asking for a god of war style remake without thinking of the issues. because at that point the gameplay, the movement, the gunplay wont be gears anymore and the mp in gears 4 and 5 is already butcherd enough. If we are talking a spin off campaign without touching mainline multiplayer im all in

I have struggled with psychosis and hearing voices off and on for most of my life. It's funny that there's a game in Hellblade, now, that is essentially for me, but not for me to play. I can't imagine anyone else who has had these issues would ever want to touch Hellblade either and I'd really wonder what they thought about it as well. Hellblade is not really my kind of game to begin with but it is kind of surreal to see a game with all this hype that focuses on something so close to home. I don't think I've ever felt so connected to a game and at the same time wanted nothing to do with it. Hope you guys enjoy. It makes me think of a game about people in wheelchairs, which actual people in wheelchairs cannot play. XD

I agree with that one write-in about expectations for a $500 machine, except, I think it is fair to expect a 1080p/60 performance mode with the $500 series X. HOWEVER I think you would be crazy to expect a lot of games to have "parity" on the Series S for 60 fps modes in particular. I do NOT expect my $220 Series S (I got a good deal with a free controller thrown in too) to give me 60 fps modes and/or 1440p and higher modes for bigger budget games. Whenever I do get a 60 fps mode on series S my expectations are exceeded. given what I paid anyway.
