Haha what BS. Alan Wake 2, Avatar, Horizon FW, Hellblade 2 and many more don't need to stream textures to look as good as they do or need to take up 100's and 100's of gigs. This is just BS so they can justify the always online thing.
@BacklogBrad The guy before Jimbo gave us the high of the high of the PS4 years that gave us all those GOTY worthy exclusives and new franchises like Ghost and Horizon.
@BacklogBrad Phil's a PR guy that's all he is. People don't like him because he's full of BS and is full of contradictions and loves calling out Sony for the same things he himself does. He's a Snake and always has been, he's "cool with the kids" because Phil learnt the art of good PR and not appearing like a suit but he his still a suit just one who wears a t-shirt holding a dagger behind his back.
@Banjo- That's ok then 👍🙄. You seemily supporting and defending all this really says a lot about you. The industry is burning right now and MS is one of the biggest suppliers of fuel for it. This could have been avoided if MS didn't try to buy up gaming.
@Banjo- Assume responsibility would be taking a massive pay cut or quitting not closing studios and sacking a ton of Devs. Phil hasn't suffered here at all.
Yeah whatever Phil we all know you screwed everything up, have Daddy MS taking charge and have been reduced to another suit spitting out BS PR as always. Hopefully your end with MS is near as its about time a suit paid the price instead of a Dev. The fact Halo is coming to PS due to your choices says it all.
Great game though due to its design its one i never felt the need to replay. I'm looking forward to the sequel though i shell wait for the PS5 release as i expect its heavily downgraded on SS and i want to play at its best.
Oh its the very much the end of the console maker side of Xbox. Next gen Xbox only exists so they have something as they start going harder on becoming the next Sega. Xbox the console is done and there's not much point supporting it once this Gen ends.
Damn what a terrible week for Xbox players. MS are going full scorch earth on tanking whatever love their fanbase had for them. I'm not paying anymore for GP especially for a game series i don't play.
@Thwomp_Stomper This Gen has had some resl massive highs (BG3 and Elden Ring) but overall this has been a terrible gen. We have all this from MS, Sony have barely put stuff out and have made some pretty bad moves, endless layoffs, endless failed live services, barely any current gen only games and too many broken AAA games. Thank god the Indie scene and the AA space have been on top form at least.
This is MS ladies and gentlemen. Scum company always have been and always will be, gaming would have been better off without them. They used HiFI every chance they had last year to big up themselves only for a year later to murder the studio that made it.
@Utena-mobile Used to be? They were always like this, they only humbled a bit for a small time because the X1 was an utter failure. MS is one of the worst media based corps in the world, they are ruthless as hell.
Got to love how MS boasted and heavily praised HiFi Rush last year only to murder the studio that made it the next year only a month or two after porting the game to PS5 to great result. Tango did not deserve this at all.
Not being smug as i'm gutted at these closes especially Tango but there you go people MS buying up gaming was a terrible thing, their true colours are on full display here. MS really are like hold my beer to Sony for being an awful greedy corp.
Problem with RT is its really expensive and having it on means taking a huge dip in framerate. I'm still amazed Spidey 2 can have it on and still keep the 60fps, easily the best usage of it this gen as well as it really helps sell NY's open world.
@UBERSICKO Where's your sales numbers? Because SE haven't released them yet. Also performance is pretty solid the issue is the visual hit the game takes to get it at 60fps.
@XboxistheBestBox MS is porting games because the PS5 has double the sales of Series S/X and Phil has admitted they have "lost". The Series S/X are actually doing worse then X1 and its clear Daddy MS are getting more involved with Xbox.
I own a SS so it doesn't really impact me on what happens but i did vote Gears for the top spot, easily the best 1st party series on Xbox for me and the original Gears was a big reason i got a 360.
The rumours are true then and damn this paints a bad future for Xbox. I've still yet to upgrade to a Series X but right now i think i will just stick with my SS as it seems my reason for wanting to upgrade will covered by my PS5 if the games are being ported over.
Yeah this is just the start and i do think MS pulling a Sega is looking very possible. Maybe buying Activision wasn't to add to Xbox but add to this 3rd party future they might have planned.
