Xbox Braces For Impact - The PlayStation & Redfall Effect | Defining Duke, Episode 123

We're under a month away from Xbox's defining (!) showcase and PlayStation is officially set to strike first. In our last episode, we mulled over the pressure that Xbox faces as the morale is low for both fans and executives alike if Phil Spencer's recent interview was anything to go by. One aspect we tackled following the increasing rumors was a reality where Xbox would be on the receiving end of a most unfortunate double edged sword. That blade being the incompetency shown in Redfall and the bad timing for Xbox of PlayStation making a major public splash while they're arguably at their worst. Sure, there are State Of Plays for varying degrees of quality, but make no mistake: PlayStation only comes around with a showcase when there are major things to be shown. Undoubtedly, this will up the ante on what Xbox needs to do to make an impact. Plus, the EU approves Xbox's acquisition of Activision Blizzard King, some scoops on the 12 month window being removed from Xbox's show, the developer of Somerville says Game Pass hurt his game, and much more in the world of Xbox!

WhatDarrenPlays

Redfall spoilercast is a must.

Damn, this thumbnail might beat the FFVII one for me haha

FourEyes Malone

Thumbnail creativity has been A1

Bryant

Best thumbnail for the best 360 launch game.

Stonehorn

Video isn’t working for me

Stonehorn

Why? Hardly anyone would watch. Man, I love my Series X, but that game is awful

Walker Simmons

I expect this to be the biggest and best playstation showcase yet so I'm curious how xbox's will compare

Thumbnails on point lol, wish there were timestamps in the video

gothichellokitty

i am not down w a redfall spoilercast lol. if yall do one, ill of course consume it, but id rather a different game get attention in that aspect

AllTooEasy_

This is an Xbox exclusive first party game. In-depth analysis is expected from an Xbox podcast. Pretty wild matty said there is no story to discuss.

Tonys_Always_Write

Woooow why you gotta put the black man in front 🙄😂😂

Matthew Cooper

I couldn't stand to play Redfall for more than a couple hours, so I don't personally care for a spoilercast. But if y'all do one, I'd watch it.

At this point I’m getting tired of the yearly promise that great things are just over the horizon. Been hearing that since 2015. Don’t get me wrong gamepass is nice because of 3rd party drops, but for 1st party? Man that subscription is running heavy on that AA energy just like the controller. I just want great AAA games and I’m tired of being told “it’s coming”

To be fair, they talked about the game for over an hour on the main show… I don’t really know what a spoiler cast would add.

Overwatch didn't cancel the story mode that was announced in 2019, they cancelled the pve mode. Right after the announcement they released the roadmap and pointed out the story missions are in season 6. I don't think going from patch 1.7 to 2.0 is such a big deal but fans seem traumatized by it.

Thanks for answering my question about the Redfall spoilercast. I don't necessarily think you guys should do one. I was just curious.

I'm a huge AEW fan but im not thrilled about Khan bringing back Punk and separating the roster due to The Elite not wanting to work with Punk after the backstage fight last September. I know it's also a Warner/Discovery decision but still. Also, the older guys need to go. Christian getting a TNT title shot out of nowhere, Jarrett being in the tag title match at the PPV, Karen Jarrett being on TV (smh) and to a lesser extent, Jericho who's still good but so much young talent that barely gets used. In some ways, AEW is becoming more and more like WWE which is what I DON'T want it to be. At least they signed Jay White recently who's awesome. The AEW/NJPW show and All In Wembley Stadium shows should be great. Game wise, im really looking forward to Fight Forever. I haven't played a wrestling game since WWF WrestleMania 2000 and WWF No Mercy on Nintendo 64.

Alex

Yea why would they make that it'd just be a waste of time for everyone. Just like xbox they moving on

Alex

Matty, Cog played Dishonored on your rec and gave you a shout out for it on ILP - you should check out the Mortal Combat 11 DLC

Joshua

God tier thumbnail I love cod 2, that shit was next Gen.

Joshua

Do you happen to have a link to when cog talk about it?

NeO JD

Did you ever play the Def Jam games? They use the same engine and they’re solid.

Damon Ransom

I think Xseed owns publishing rights for CS1 and 2 as well

peter42O

I played and completed Def Jam Vendetta since that was developed by AKI who did the two N64 games. Loved that game. I know about Fight for NY but never played it because it wasn't a wrestling game. At least not from what I remember seeing.

As someone who loved Inside and Limbo I have to say that Somerville was a let down. I saw that the reviews were very ok but clearly not Inside or Limbo. But because of Gamepass I tired it anyway and after about an hour and a half or maybe a little more I completely lost interest. The story is very interesting but man is it clunky and the puzzles are no where near the perfection of inside. I found many if then confusing and unintelligible. He can blame Gamepass but the truth is his game wasn't well received by his own fans.

“If starfield is 90 anything, I’m looking for people” -Cog. Absolutely fucking wrecked me in the middle of a workout 😂

I love this thumbnail, that is all.
