It’s fair to say the Xbox Studios Summer Showcase left a lot of Halo fans (and anxious Series X stans) with more questions than answers. Particularly, a majority felt underwhelmed by the graphical fidelity of Halo Infinite. So, today on Send News we’re asking: what do you do to freshen up a decade-old franchise? What will it take for Halo Infinite to reclaim the franchise’s glory days? In addition, Brian, Alanah, Conor and Evan take a moment to reflect on their time playing Ghost of Tsushima and consequently write a haiku (not really but we should have). Of course, we’re also talking about the news this week! Star Citizen fans are finally saying “Enough Is Enough!” when it comes to Cloud Imperium’s lack of updates, and Superdata compares metrics on this summer's game showcases with last year’s E3. Sit down and have a listen to all this and more on this week’s episode of Inside Gaming Presents: Send News! 

00:00:00 - Intro

00:00:36 - Can Halo Infinite make a comeback?

00:21:17 - Talking Ghost of Tsushima

00:38:14 - Star Citizen fans are finally pissed

00:52:23 - Is E3 really dead?

Alanah’s back this week and she’s got the goods on a closed-door demo of Halo Infinite! Of course, that’s directly related to the biggest news this week: the long-awaited Xbox Series X showcase totaling 22 console exclusive reveals… but what does it all mean? Brian, Conor, Patrick, and Evan sort it all out as they go over the highs and lows of Xbox’s biggest summer event. Not to be forgotten, Ubisoft is still in the news as employees testified that they were repeatedly told by executives and leadership that “Women don’t sell” and as a result, we learned we’re very fortunate to have any female leads in Ubisoft games at all. Lastly, a PS5 price announcement may be coming sooner than we thought as a preorder page was made live on Amazon, and some hackers routed around and found some additional information. All that and more on this week’s episode of Send News!!!

As a new console generation is ushered in with the PS5 and Series X - the bell tolls for the Xbox One. Well, some of the models anyway. Microsoft confirmed earlier this week that they are in fact discontinuing the Xbox One X and digital models of the Xbox One. It’s not all bad news as the reviews are in for Ghost of Tsushima and Paper Mario. Okay look, people weren’t blown away but an 80+ metacritic aint bad. Brian, Kdin, Zach, and Amir discuss all this and more on this week’s episode of, Send News!
