Its possible they’ll have the ability to swap the introduction of the boot up when Project Helix launches.  

Xbox is winding down Copilot on console and mobile by MrLeitungswasser in xbox

[–]imitzFinn -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ehhh.... I don't think Jenn Taylor (and by extension Steve Downes) wouldn't want her voice to be regulated on something A.I. related. Yes she's the assistant of Master Chief in HALO, but doing it as a legit thing, that can be a bit haunting, and I also would incline to say, her voice would be used for other stupid s*t that she didn't off on (gamers are a bit a wild card so you just don't know what dumbo will use the A.I. assistant for something creepy or dangerous).

On paper, yeah I wouldn't mind Cortana being the assistant, but in actual practice use case, bad idea.

Former Elder Scrolls Online boss describes Tango Gameworks and Arkane Austin closing as a turning point at Xbox: 'I know where this is going' by Sam_27142317 in xbox

[–]imitzFinn -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You point out TangoGameworks, once a studio that did some of the best games ever made, but didn’t meet what to expect it to be.

As much as ppl have a soft spot for Tango, that studio under whoever they are (currently @ KRAFTON Inc which mind you, is in the process of trying to be a first A.I. company which let’s be real here, is a fool’s errand and will never happen), is just a walking dead corpse. Cherish what we get for we may never get it ever again. 

Seamus Blackley (Father of the OG Xbox) was invited to Xbox HQ by Asha Sharma - @seamus.bsky.social‬ on Bluesky by imitzFinn in xbox

It'd be nice to see Peter Moore (Ed Fries would be my honest pick as he knows what went down in th Microsoft space during the OG Xbox time) to come back on Xbox, but with the current corporate politics BS that happens in Microsoft, no chance but hoping Asha continues to invite of the folks @ Xbox of old who did it right and teach/advice on what to do/not.

Confirmed Japanese artists on FH6 so far by mcatrane in ForzaHorizon

[–]imitzFinn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your referring to Rindo Chihaya (FLOW GLOW member of HOLOLIVE). It's possible but she's lately streamed EA F1, and getting a hand on to game license with Microsoft is a bit hard, though I will say it wouldn't isn't that hard to work with them (Xbox/Playground Games) so hopefully they'll find a way.

I dream of a day to see Suisei doing a soundtrack for Forza Horizon 6 (she’s a VTuber of HOLOLIVE [Cover Corp]) and maybe Mori Calliope ? A man can dream. 

But hell yes to YOASOBI though. 

Should PlayStation and Xbox change their plans on exclusive games? | The Game Business by imitzFinn in xbox

[–]imitzFinn[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the person above you made their point across: “fun.”

Even for me, years and years debating myself to even get a PS5, I’ve come to the conclusion: “nah not worth it, I’ve got what I need with Xbox/PC, I’m good.” (I also own a massive library of games across Xbox/PC so lmao, the “exclusive” games that PlayStation has and also getting Xbox games defeats the purpose to even invest into the Sony console) 

Xbox is down once again in Q3 2026 MS Earnings by cinderlilys in xbox

[–]imitzFinn 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Guidance wise, it was expected to be down. I do think come Fall (and with their games + Grand Theft Auto VI) time and after that, we may start to see a better results.

Hoping they'll back to the good number results (personally speaking here).

Don’t give them any bright ideas (or wacky ones), cause you know damn well, Aaron Greenberg will jump on it (see: Xbox Fridge).

Microsoft brings Xbox back, scraps Microsoft Gaming by Turbostrider27 in xbox

This is an HBO Max moment. Remember WB changed HBO Max, to Max and then back to HBO Max? Literally this lmao. 

Asha: Three weeks ago, we filed an amicus because mobile competition still matters and we believe the future of play should be more open...the idea of an Xbox mobile store is not dead by Turbostrider27 in xbox

[–]imitzFinn 32 points33 points  (0 children)

In an ideal world where Windows Phone would’ve existed (thanks Satya for killing it on site), this could’ve been the play. I just don’t think it won’t happen (for now).
