Following this tech demo, Phil Spencer chimed in with the Duh of the Day... by saying (via Twitter),
Incredible work by the team at Epic, many of our XGS studios are using Unreal, like the team at Ninja Theory creating Hellblade II, and are excited to bring these UE5 innovations to life on Xbox Series X.
Yeah... ummm, no offense but... screw the tweet, even if it's true... they weren't the ones showing the tech demo. They weren't even showcasing full-on gameplay in the "First Look Xbox Series X Gameplay" video, so... it's fair to say that Phil can save it. This doesn't mean the Xbox Series X won't be good, but I don't want to hear it when they had the chance to kill it with a superstar first impression. Even if I can't give the props directly to Sony, the Unreal Engine 5 Reveal was on the Playstation 5 and... more than a few people will remember that.
To hell with a tweet Phil, your mission (if you choose to accept it) is to kill it... not follow up with tweets to Playstation 5 videos saying that we can do that too.

Happy Belated Mother's Day! Fun fact, my mom got me into gaming as a little kid.
She didn't just buy me a console, she was also a gamer. These games may have been
Space Invaders, Pac Man, and retro games of that type... but it was the 80's and
I loved every minute of it!

Out of the gate in this Xbox Series X first look is... Bright Memory Infinite, take a look and I'll get back to you.
I had the honor of checking out Bright Memory... which is a taste of what's to come with Bright Memory: Infinite, and I'm excited. Bright Memory was... okay, it's like an appetizer which I still may do a First 30 on... but BM: Infinite is the experience I look forward to.
If you missed it in this first look video... the game is being developed by a single person. One person, a signal digit... yeah, impressively cool so I'm curious to see what the one-man studio delivers in BM: Infinite. I don't know if he will be able to remain his one-man team status when it comes to completing this game... but who knows. Maybe it's a goal but if the game is incredibly ambitious... who knows how long it will take for the game to be released.
I wouldn't want the game rushed, but the window of development may be a wide one if he didn't start the process years back before presenting the title for us to drool over. If you buy Bright Memory, you will get BM: Infinite... free... so that's something to think about just in case the price changes.
That said, I've seen this game before... and other than Yakuza: Like a Dragon (and a few other games), I was underwhelmed with the First Look Xbox Series X Gameplay showcase. Where was the gameplay for the most part? I saw some gameplay tucked into the game trailers but... that was about it, that didn't showcase enough to give me an idea of what to expect outside of a few elements. I won't even get into Madden 21.
Microsoft had better be ready with this console. It's sweet to hear that this Xbox (PC... basically) will allow gamers to play a variety of games dating back to the original... but the old won't replace the new. Not saying that it will but... the exclusives for XBSX need to be the trailblazers, not even the multiplatform releases like BM: Infinite. I'm not a hater... it just needs to give gamers a reason to buy.
I hope all the latest consoles do well... by way of doing right by the gamers.
