Everything I see is MS is slowly replacing the term "xbox" with "console". Which suggests they sre ditching xbox. They had every opportunity to stop the rumors. It is happening. It is sad.
@themightyant aren't all dishonored games already on playstation? And there isn't any sign that they are making a new one so maybe that is why it wasn't voted
@Kaloudz I liked Wo Long as well and managed to beat it. Haven't tried lies of p yet but it is on my list. I heard they've patched some of the harder bosses
@Lightning720 I really don't think people are questioning MS's ability to make money. Everyone knows they are a trillion dollar company. People are upset because for the past decade they've been all over the place, reversing decisions, going in different directions, firing studios, and then going almost 2 years without a single first party exclusive only to release Redfall after all that time. Those who patiently stuck through it all and thought "finally, Xbox has a ton of studios now and is gonna start pumping out the exclusives and all that waiting was worth it" only for MS to say they'll release them everywhere. It really isna slap in the face. And yes, I guess it shows you shouldn't have "brand loyalty" and this is the risk you take and obviously they're gonna go where the money is. But that doesn't mean people can't be upset about it.
Welp. sounds like it is true. If this had a hint of false he would shut it down via X and say we will clarify more next week.
They need a week to put together a generic but heartfelt basic PR message: "Here at Xbox, we love all gamers and feel that our games should reach as many people as possible, so we've made the creative decision to put X, Y, Z on as many platforms as possible, and all future games will be on a case by case basis"
Translation: "We dont have time to wait 2 - 3 years to release great exclusives and finally win back the market share. So we are waving the white flag."
@Kaloudz I kind of agree with losing 'fan trust'. It is blowing up on twitter (X). People aren't happy. So if the game scores well or looks to be a banger it'l be multiplat. But they'll leave the crap (redfall) exclusive to the fans? I'm okay with putting GaaS multiplat (Diablo, Sea of Thieves etc.) but single player games should remain exclusive to their platform. Also, you say it is case by case, but we all know this 'case by case' will just happen to magically make sense for all future games. Especially when the money starts flowing in.
@Widey85 Agreed. If this was false I think MS would've been very quick to shut it down knowing that if it spreads people will stop buying Xbox. They've been radio silent about it. They say case by case, but once they see the money and sales they generate from PS and Ninetendo, it will be an all the time. I've been with Xbox since the OG but if this is true I'll likely start investing in the PS ecosystem as i will get to play their exclusives and apparently MS as well.
Still Sea Of Stars. I've almost given up on it a few times now but always pull myself back in cause I really don't like not finishing games after I've invested several hours. It is fun, but these types of games (turn based rpgs) have never really been my style. But I was trying to branch out of my comfort zone. It was a nice palate cleanser from dead space
@themightyant honestly I kinda assumed it was coming to gamepass. I guess I just got into the habit (which isn't a good habit) of assuming all MS exclusive deals as well as first party meant gamepass. Especially if they had it at a developer direct like that where all the other games were day 1 gamepass.
Still trekking through Sea Of Stars. It is definitely fun, but to me combat is getting a little repetitive. I never really play jrpgs so maybe this is just how they are? Still fun and I plan to try and see it through the end. I believe I am over halfway.
Just curious as to when they plan to release the 2 new characters. Kind of sucks for those who spent $100 on the game to not even give them an estimate on when to expect them, it has already been about a year.
I'm playing Sea of Stars but am getting frustrated in a battle with these ants that keep summoning more ants... pretty soon I'm surrounded by like 8 of them. Might switch over to Resident Evil Village in my backlog
Working on sea of stars. It is pretty much my first old school jrpg since the snes so I'm hoping I still have the nostalgia. Haven't played a game like this since 1990s
