Xbox's 2023 Showcase Predicament - The Pressure Is ON | Defining Duke, Episode 123

Recently, Phil Spencer joined the Kinda Funny XCast to discuss everything from Redfall's disappointment and the Xbox Games Showcase to their stagnant pipeline and even their goals as a game publishing platform. This transparent look provided little for Xbox fans to feel confident about as the pressure continues to mount between Starfield needing to be an "11/10" experience and PlayStation's rumored showcase lingering just days ahead of Xbox. Indeed, there's no denying that if Xbox doesn't absolutely nail it with their 2023 showcase that the blowback will be enormous. While Starfield shoulders the burden, it is up to all of Xbox first party to now prove why the fans should even both hanging around in the first place.

Hey guys I know the community is hit bad by this redfall thing but I feel bad for whoever had the job of putting those stickers of 30 fps on every game case in stores. That must've been a shitty week lol

Oh god, yeah It can get really tedious. I work in a department store and when those shoes hit clearance. I always have to print stickers and apply them to every pair.

So glad Cog started Dishonored. It truly is one of the best games ever made and still has the most satisfying stealth kills and incredible level design

Duke Thumbnails going hard lately lol

Are SnowBikeMike and Parris the Amazon Basics version of Matty and Cog? 🤔

Robbie Cooper

This is the quality you should expect from first party on gamepass. Subscription services are good at times but mostly disappointing. Hope for the best though.

Honestly, the four of them would make a great crossover episode together. Though I have little hope that any cross pollination with Kinda Funny is likely. One can dream.

possibly the first time ive ever heard cog swear in this episode!! cannot miss episode lol

gothichellokitty

just gotta get him to play prey now lol. i feel like if he likes dishonored by the end of it, which i imagine so, i bet he will love prey because of its sci fi nature

Put some respect on my dudes Mike & Parris. They’re all good. ❤️

One note I’d add Cog and Matty, Nintendo’s pivot to the Switch following the Wii-U is not a great comparison. Nintendo was still a very physical/cartridge company at the time. Much more than Xbox and PlayStation. So it was much easier for them to do a reset on a new generation. I’ve heard that example used over and over but it’s just not a one to one. Not saying your overall message was wrong. Just that the Nintendo reference is not apt.

When is the Redfall spoilercast?
