Next-Gen Consoles: The Game of Surveillance is On

Gamers spend a lot of hours each week with their eyes locked on-screen. Information Solutions Group reports that fifteen percent of British avid social gamers turn their attention to videogames on a console, mobile or PC for at least six hours per week. This represents no one-way mirror, however, since today’s consoles now offer outsiders the ability to look into our lives. As we look into our videogames played on an Xbox One or PlayStation 4, who looks back out at us from the other side, and how can we protect ourselves?

There are a number of issues that arise whenever games decide to announce early so let's go over some of them to find out why this is a bad practice.

To be honest I'd rather know stuff is in the works but other ppl throw fits over it so it's whatever

porkChop2m ago

I'd rather they announce a game when it's like 3 months away. Quick little advertising campaign, round of interviews, gameplay deep dive, and a launch trailer. That's all you need. Cheaper marketing rather than wasting resources trying to maintain hype over like 4 years.

Search and Destroy is nice, but Black Ops 6 should have more one-life game modes

Search and Destroy remains one of the most popular game modes in CoD, but Black Ops 6 players want more variety.

All I want from COD gamemode wise is Gun Fight

porkChop7m ago

I want stuff like Gun Game, One in the Chamber, Sticks and Stones, etc. And I remember having a lot of fun with War in W@W so that would be cool to bring back.

just_looken4h ago

Try this August at Gamescom.

I know it hurts you.

blackblades1h ago(Edited 1h ago)

How does it hurts me when I can play both, just saying what they gonna show next year YDF

Pixykont3m ago(Edited 2m ago)

Because Microsoft spent money?

Obscure_Observer12h ago

Jesus!

I wonder what could those even be?

We already got both 2024 and 2025 packed!

just_looken4h ago

but 2027 is when the next xbox drops so the schedule demands pro versions and the start of hype train for next gen.
2000 xbox
2005 360
2013 xbox one
2020 series x/s

andy853h ago

Very much doubt they will be bringing out a pro version. They'll move next gen slightly early to try and get the jump imo

jznrpg2h ago

No point in a Pro version if they still demand Series S parity Bs

NotoriousWhiz2h ago

They're definitely not moving to next gen early. They may release a next gen console early, but it'll probably be another 3 years after release before they launch any exclusives. It'll effectively be a pro model until that point.

We still haven't seen Contraband from the Just Cause devs, or the fantasy RPG with dragons from the Hitman devs. They've got a lot of 2nd party stuff in the works.

cthulhucultist1h ago

They still have under development:

Contraband
Clockwork Revolution
Everwild
Blade
Outer Worlds 2
OD (Kojima Project)
Project Mara
Project Maverick
Elders Scrolls 6
Fallout 5

however many of these are in early stages and can not be shown.

Realistically we can expect more gameplay from the reveals in June (State of Decay gameplay perhaps?), some footage of Towerborne that was missing in the showcase and perhaps a small trailer (even cinematic) for Contraband and/or Clockwork Revolution.

I would be so confident though. MS usually hypes Gamescom and ends up being a snoozefest focused on developers talking

PhillyDonJawn3h ago(Edited 3h ago)

Halo and a rumored new ip. I was wondering why they were missing
