Xbox Direct Reactions and Analysis – Unl...

IGN & Geek Media
About this episode

We recorded Unlocked immediately after Microsoft's Xbox Developer Direct presentation this week. These are our in-the-moment reactions to the excellent presentation, from the deep-dive on Redfall (including a May 2 release date to look forward to) to another look at the gorgeous Forza Motorsport (though it came without any release date attached) to the surprise new game from Tango Gameworks, Hi-Fi Rush, that's available right now! And in our final segment, we spent some time discussing the current uncertain state of Halo in the wake of the layoffs at 343 Industries.

00:00:00 - Intro & Redfall Reactions!

00:14:33 - Hi-Fi Rush is Out NOW

00:24:38 - Forza Motorsport Looks So Good!

00:37:29 - The State of 343 Industries & Outro
