TimeStamps Intro Wht Rand & Jez Been Playing Click-Bate Journalism 19:54 Xbox+Bethesda E3 Showcase 1:09:27 Xbox Series X DRM & Unreal Engine 5 Demo 2:28:36 Show Ends With Q/A Another Week of Xbox Two Podcast done later guys.

The issue is that Sony has the mind share and no matter what they do as far as announcing games, be it E3 or a state of play or whatever people will be all over it. To be honest the only way I feel the Xbox can even compete for Mind share is to actually show games that will shut people's mouths up. Sony does games that have movie like qualities to them, maybe Xbox should one up them in that department.

MVG took his external HDD from his 1S and attached it to the Series X. Of course, it needs to do a check for all those games on the drive. Even if you make your Series X your home console, every game on that hard drive will run a check, thats why you see “Getting it ready…” message when you launch. In 20 years, MVG and everyone else will be close to or at senior age, will Xbox games be important then? Out of all the companies, MS has the best to keep things running. Valve, Sony, Nintendo dont have the data centers MS has.

The Xbox I Don't know Podcast. Has a nice ring to it.

I seriously wish that Xbox gives it a go for State of Play / Nintendo Direct events, at least 2 or 3 of these separate short events x year (for specific Xbox games like Hellblade 2 and Avowed) in addition to annual E3 events.

I dont think the CGI trailers were the problem last year. the problem was they had nothing else with it. announcement trailers are great they are exactly why we get so hype about e3 etc for new and exciting announcements.. stick as many as you want in there. but dont just have announcement trailers and nothing else. thats where they went wrong. halo gameplay shit the bed and noone could even talk about anything else after that.

You guys make great podcasts! And I gotta say, Jezz seems so much more chill and happy lately, it really elevates the podcast a lot :) keep it up guys!

Just got off work time to enjoy Rand & Jez

Rand sounds really unenthusiastic about this year’s E3. There are numerous unannounced AAA titles that are going to be announced this year. Also, just because a game receives a delay, doesn’t mean it won’t be shown at E3.

I'm all in on the digital, and just had my wifi go down finding out that you can't play some games on your 'home' console when offline. I tried a few, including GOW 5 single player that would not work. I'm okay for the occasional checking in by the console, maybe once a week or month - but a flat 'nope' on games starting because there is no wifi sucks a bit hard. Recommend they turn off the wifi and see what actually works or not.

I always get excited for E3. I am 50 years old and I have watched every E3 since it started. I used to own a game store and get videos from the show floor. I still have one where you see Twelve Tales Conkers Quest running on N64 before it became Bad Fur Day. This new generation of gamers needs to stop whining about these shows and whether they should get hyped or not. Last years Sony and XBOX shows were great. Lots of new announcements and lots of games coming for both systems. Yes XBOX needs 1st party games but there are lots of 3rd party games out there and Game Pass is killing it so just be patient.

Loving Jez's excitement today. Keep it up! Need to start a drinking game for all the F-bombs. (Tried to leave a super chat but ran into an error. Have to Google that, and get ya next time)

The horizon gameplay trailer looked good ❤️

I agree with you guys, they should do what PS and Nintendo do and give each game a spotlight instead of this never ending cycle of get hyped for e3 which then closer to the event becomes oh temper expectations... When is that blow out e3 actually coming? It can't always be next e3. Sony and Nintendo kill it by doing next to nothing. Less is more sometimes.

38:30 oof good analogy😂

Hey I just bought a lg CX 65 in tv as well, how is the motion blur on this tv cause all my other tvs sucked with this

Before and after pics of the office remodel would be cool to see.

Does your LG Cx support Dolby vision 4K 120 htz at the same time? I noticed that my LG which supports 4K 120 htz , HDR10 ,Dolby vision but not Dolby 4k 120 only Dolby 4k 60. Maybe there will be an update from LG?

Console war articles and those response messages are fun read. I like those.

You guys have mentioned a "Lego" Halo game, but Mega Bloks / Mega Construx has the rights to Halo. As well there was a mega Bloks Halo game in production and believe it was canceled. You can find video of it on KZfaqs.

Ah that chat... Rand al Panda Express lol

Blood dragon is the best Farcry

If the “global internet” goes down, gaming should be the least of your concern.

It might just be me but I see everyone talking about what is not going to be there and that is why its bad. Not what is going to be shown. Sony shows off one game and the talk is about Sony has all the games. If Microsoft shows a bunch of games, it will be about what is not shown. I am looking foward to Ascent, Halo, Forza, Scorn, Darktide, and what ever Bethesda has coming. Just need to be on the same playing field.

Heard a podcast call Biomutant a gamepass game not in gamepass.

Achievements are tied to online as well...

Upgrading studio, so podcast with video finally?

I enjoy the podcast but the lack of self awareness from Rand week in week out is foolish, complaining about people doing basically free advertising for companies when you are doing a podcast basically advertising and so many of your friends do too, and the rants about fanboys when supporting dealer, timdog and colt if you don't like clowns down hang around the circus

Does it matter that a game is on an other platform or does it matter to you that its available on the platform you own, you play on. I have an Xbox SX, yet I don't care that Halo is on the PC. I own a PS4 Pro, but I got the PC version of Days Gone. I make my own choices, and I like that I can purchase games on other platforms.

They should give Josef Fares money to make a co-op Banjo Kazooie game. It Takes Two is a fantastic game.

Fantastic show ☺️✅💚🦕

They seemed to miss the entire point of MVG video..

Microsoft is also capable of surprising people. Like they did at the Gaming awards with the Xbox SX, and at E3 with a bunch of studios, the purchase of Bethesda and so on. Let's not count out Microsoft. They seem to keep the narrative alive, like they have in the past months. It's OK to keep expectations in check, but Microsoft had surprised the masses. This guy bring crack down. There's been banger news since crackdown a long time ago. Let's keep to where Microsoft is at now. Not last Gen.

I think the whole Xbox DRM issue is nothing more than just FUD, Microsoft are highly, and I mean HIGHLY, unlikely to just one day turn off ALL of their servers. Microsoft and Xbox have made it abundantly clear that they value game preservation WAY MORE than the competition and I am willing to bet anyone that 10 years from now, you'll still be able to play an OG Xbox game like KOTOR 2 or Morrowind on whatever console comes out after the Xbox Series X|S.

Mixer was probably more expensive than halo. Like actually..

MLB The show was the second most bought game last month I believe and so it looks like game pass didn't hurt it's sales.

I dont know

Heh. Jezz saying he's not gonna hype up the show because that's who he is and I'm thinking.. You were kind of a prime offender of hype last year IMO XD. Anyway. I don't need the hype, Xbox has been setting expectations FOR MONTHS. And they should be kinda low. But I also don't need to hear the doom and gloom and the pronouncements that Xbox is done if they don't deliver the best e3 ever. I mean.. Meh. Sucks to say wait another year or two. But. Wait another year or two. Abandon ship if you need to, but the only way the wait is worthwhile is if the games get all the time they need.

Hellblade 2 is 100% at E3 this year, take it to the bank.

Do you really want Microsoft to copy another company? So people can say look at Microsoft copy these other companies. Then say they didn’t do it as well as these other companies. Microsoft needs their marketing team to develop a new fresh marketing style. That’s what I’m taking from your suggestion. To copy the others is weak

I just don't understand why yall get mad when people voice there oponion in articles... Smh... It's true... If you look at it... You really don't need a ps5 or a series x now... Lol... Why you so mad about it.... They are editor they say what they want... Get over it.

Hey rand I remember hearing that playtonic had some big news coming. I wonder if they're going to be aquired by Microsoft and make banjo

2:03:00 I agree with that person, it's fine being realist but don't dwell on negative/doom and gloom for 30+ minutes straight

Hey to be honest Jez gets in trouble because it "his" podcast lol

Was one of you guys taking a leak at 2:37:20!?!? WTH!? 🤣

I agree with Rand. Far Cry 5 was the best in the series.

What an extremely negative podcast about E3. And I'm not talking about tempering expectations. I'm talking about being extremely cynical when the even hasn't happened yet, regardless of how much YOU were disappointed about how much YOU hyped up last year's show. Just wait until E3 to have anything to say. Maybe it will suck. Maybe it won't. But you both are far more negative about E3 than you were last week only because Horizon Forbidden West was shown.

Playing devils advocate you don’t need a PlayStation yet because there’s not a lot of next gen titles out ye. Maybe that’s what the writer was trying to pass along. Let’s say you buy a PS5 then you’re pissed because there’s like only 2 or 3 next gen titles out. What I guess he’s trying to get across is wait u til there are more titles out there and it’s not easy to find a console right now anyway. There reason you wouldn’t say that about the new Xbox console is because with the performance boost and the power of the new Xbox console you can visually see the difference in the current gen games. With higher frames rates and sometimes better graphics it looks like a new game. I haven’t heard that claim on the ps5 console. So maybe the writer is trying to push that point. I mean you could wait on the new Xbox too. But Microsoft is making the current game look so much better so you can currently see the performance boost. I just don’t take that article as something to piss me off. But I’m not looking to buy a ps5 either. I’m happy with my series X and One X

Rand, Just because you don't like Pokémon doesn't mean you have to hate on it and call it "stupid-ass." Even Jez doesn't get that belligerent towards Halo.

think it's funny that people are talking about Bitcoin I don't see why anyone would invest in this just from business sense it just doesn't sound feasible and now that I know the history behind it is just a waste of money and it's not good business since if you want to make good business sense and good profit I would suggest make headphones by perhaps getting shares of GameStop it doesn't matter where you are meaning what country you live in for that and don't worry about the ads on KZfaq because they're completely nonsense when it comes to bitcoins and also as far as Halo is concerned I think that Halo would look better if the graphics and the details is better but at the end of the day it's all about the gameplay for me.

Keep your expectations in check.Matt Booty already talked about covid 19 impacting first party games.I was expecting Hellblade II to launch in 2022 but i am not sure anymore.Seems like Bethesda will carry Xbox through 2022 with Starfield and rumored vampire game by Arkane Austin, Wolfenstein III.

Hit the like button!

Well I'm the Man with the Million.1/ 1,000,001 👀 lol shoot misted it live but still will enjoy it tomorrow

Weird it is Lol Mr weird

No shade but y'all have been hyping up E3 since the game awards even possibly before that, not just you guys but pretty much ALL xbox "insider" youtubers. Now all of a sudden it's "temper expectations" etc lmao. which ultimately means it'll be another "mehh" showcase besides Starfield. but look, as a gamer in general, (primarily xbox) i'm excited but not too excited, ya know?. Xbox has consistently let me down for 8 or 9 years now at E3 and i don't expect that to change regardless if there was a pandemic or not. using the pandemic as an excuse at this point does nothing to quell the crowd because, as i stated, xbox has been a constant let down at E3 for almost a decade and i don't think this year or next year will change it. regardless of acquisitions, xbox has had nothing great for first party games and even WITH all these additions to XGS almost nothing comes to fruition besides Halo/Forza/Gears until (possibly) now. now, i'm not saying they need to empty the tank and show everything they have but they should at least show 3 or 4 big hitters or at least show a little of whats in the pipeline instead of VFX teasers. while Starfield, Forza and HALO are great, i don't think thats enough. i see many players wanting Xbox to delve into NEW original IP instead of the same old "ole faithful's". I HOPE i'm happy with this showcase, i guess we'll see in 2 weeks.

Microsoft buys WB Games which owns the Midway IP Blitz The League. Blitz The League on Unreal Engine 5!!!

Crapgamer can't wait to trash the Xbox e3.

You can't fight back against "Xbox has no games" if you show Nintendo Direct or State of Play style reveals with single videogames. That's why Xbox has the big splash at E3 or beyond. It's obvious, isn't it?

Best start payed you and he looks like a fool.

So it’s going to be another wait till next E3, E3 yikes

Xbox has changed the landscape of gaming for ever. Games Pass has rewritten how we consume games.

"PS5 is great because everything is 60fps" Guerrilla Games: "Yeah about that"

It's pretty poor planning from Xbox that most of their exclusives will land in the same year

Great show guys, but Mass Effect, how is anyone playing that janky mess of a game, it's horrendous on every level. Days Gone was incredible 120 hours. Underrated. Loved it.

Last

I wish Sony fanboys would leave Rand and Jez alone. They used to be more impartial on this channel, and I just get the feeling some of the bias here is because of duress. Now they are letting the Xbox fanboys run wild to overcompensate.

I love gears, but I think that the coalition has done a medicore job. Game looks good, but the characters suck and the story is terrible. Open world too for a bit. Hivebusters was meh.

Km in 🇨🇦 & C⁰ vs F⁰ and lol kilos 👀 LOTS and LOTS i USE/SELL... LOL kidding omg had a few🍺🍺🍺 2 many guys

E3 sucks? So does my wife and its not a bad thing... sorry very inappropriate........

I think people will be dissatisfied with the Microsoft conference for two main reasons. 1) Bethesda, people are still rather sore over that. 2) The pandemic has pushed a lot of release dates and if there isn't a lot of 2021 dates, well you get the point.

Power of the cloud!!! 🤣🤣 Xbox is a joke. Faildown 3 they had to buy Bethesda to stay in the console market 🤣🤣 what a joke
