Defining Duke, Episode 171 | Xbox's Summer Showcase Leaked... - Gears 6, New CoD, & MORE!
🕑 Added 2024-04-11 16:00:12 +0000 UTCIt'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!

haha yeah that was funny. but also sad, because these people continue to buy the same garbage pokemon asset flip games for $120 (cuz there are a red and a blue version , tricking them into buying the game twice) every single year on a 480 vaseline device

Matty saying he couldn’t notice the difference in Rebirth’s modes to me is WILD. “480i Vaseline screens” 🤣 #CogDD

I love that Cog and Matty always talk about loving Gears and can never remember the name of the Hammer. 😅
Hustle&Motiv8
Cog I think you meant the Hammer of Dawn. And personally speaking it’s time for the Coalition to be on that Kendrick Lamar energy

You can put respect that gears 5 was terrible .

Give me pc with mouse and keyboard and give it to me now, also never played judgement and when I ordered it for my 360 the eBay seller sent me gears 2 lol
Murderer Kevin
Yeh was great to hear the new plans

I’m a little confused. What do people want from a Gears collection? All the Gears games are already playable on xbox series x and game pass. To be worth anything, a collection would have to be a bunch of remakes, right? Do people really expect a remake of multiple Gears games at once?

Thanks for picking my comment! Hopefully Hellblade 2 turns out well, and we can all enjoy it, regardless if you play on Xbox or PC.

"Seperately, Microsoft Gaming and NetEase have also entered into an agreement to explore bringing new NetEase titles to Xbox consoles and other platforms." Does anyone actually believe these deals are seperate lmao

@josephwoods 30fps controversy? More like a 900p 30fps with only 1v1 combat controversy. Xbox studios have major problem with their game dev pipeline, 18 month contracts did not help. @BloatedBacklog There isn't anything wrong with consoles bc the PS5 has games with performance modes, xbox doesnt. Just like Phil claiming industry problems when it is just xbox

Congrats on the launch of Retro Revive, Matty and Lock! Happy to support along with LSM 🔥
