@blaa If Xbox gets FF7R I will not touch my ps4 again and I won’t buy a PS5. All games will eventually come to other platforms anyway. And I’m not liking the way Sony is moving (live service games, a little bit of VR here and there and only one or two other first party releases per year) so it feels I can ignore that platform altogether.

Also, I don’t like Marvel stuff that much so I am not one who buys a PS5 for Spiderman 2 or Wolverine. God of War would have pushed me over the edge but that became a PS4 game.

@kezelpaso final fantasy xiv is coming to xbox! Pretty big news . Don’t know where else to put it but here.

The xbox app on windows has the same problem. Way too many recommendation-lines. Just like most streaming services have.

But you don’t need that in gaming. Make it clean, Microsoft! Please You’re on the right track.

He wants to be next

Fifa, take note! This is how you should treat your franchise.

And these kind of games are very well suited for gamepass, the service is very much a steal for gamers.

Insert ‘well, we’re waiting’ meme on Jim to reveal what was in the email.

@Cikajovazmaj xbox raised their prices almost two years after Sony though.

Sony needs a bigger competitor, which Microsoft could/should be.

@UltimateOtaku91 there’s a lot of assuming on Pushsquare when communicating with that community.

There is no bad guy in this whole story. Or rather, multiple bad guys who want consumer’s money. And you get that by having a great catalog of games that you can lure those consumers with. I absolutely don’t get the whole ‘microsoft needs to be stopped’ narrative. If anything, I love game developers to have a great budget so they can make the best games possible.

@Grumblevolcano @rmg0731 @ultimateotaku91 as you can read, none of these have been acquired by microsoft. In fact, one of these has been acquired by the market leader: Sony.

@Banjo- yeah. Maybe the sister sites should have a conversation with each other on how to bring the news.

The titles of the articles on pushsquare alone makes that community foaming at their mouths. Writing stuff like ‘wishy washy, ‘talkative Spencer, Xbox insinuates, etc.’ just only serves one purpose.

Sony is just opposing the deal because they just want to make it opponents as difficult as possible.

Mindset of a market leader. I hate it.

@UltimateOtaku91 a dedicated handheld would be ideal indeed. I think they hoped a 3d party would step into that glaring omission, like Steam or Logitech.

But not needing to carry anything extra around made me forget I was using touch screen while playing Persona. For that game it’s worth the trade-off in my opinion. Call of Duty would be a completely different ballgame.

@UltimateOtaku91 xbox just needs more strategy or turn-based rpg’s and puzzle games. Those games suit best on xcloud. I really enjoyed playing persona on my phone via cloud because latency absolutely doesn’t matter.

I recon all older snes rpg’s and final fantasy games will perform very well on the service. Shame square enix is such a weird company lately.

@PSme @zoidpilot4 i also follow all three sister sites. There’s also a difference in how the articles on the sites are written, with playstation being more of a fansite than purexbox site, which feels a bit more like a journalism site in my opinion. And the communities following suit.

To put it frankly, without xbox Playstation would be or would go to sh*t. I’m happy we have at least three good eggs in the console space basket.

@Kienda can also just be reallocated.

@InterceptorAlpha I think Microsoft should do a re-release of some sorts just to show how much the game has improved / expanded over the years. It’s quite a lot!

@BAMozzy oh, that’s a shame. Amazon releasing a game on xbox feels very unlikely.

@Sol4ris and CD should then take the Tomb Raider franchise with them, I really enjoyed the reboot.

@AndroidBango she’s very excited for fans to see it.

Oh wow, great additions to gamepass! Still so much value in that service.

I hate sony for doing stuff like this, making another version feel a little bit inferior. It’s the same reason they are doing the marketing deals or the three day early access deals. It works, but I don’t like it.

@GuyinPA75 true, but it also immediately shows you the reason why a bigger storage wasn’t yet being used.

@GuyinPA75 well, I’d say you can buy the additional storage if price is not an issue for you.

@GuyinPA75 price is an excuse

Haven’t been this excited for an Xbox showcase since forever. Looking forward to it! Bring back some competition via great games for us players please.

@Snake_V5 this deal is about the merger of the companies. If the deal doesn’t go through in the uk, they can move the offices and workforce to the EU instead. And leave the UK all together.

I’m sure Jim Ryan will say the same after Xbox’s showcase (probably not).

I don’t see many activison-blizzard games being the best way to play via cloud anyway. It’s just another option….

Really looking forward to the Starfield showcase! Curious what they have on offer for us

@Tharsman hasn’t it been released on pc already?

Such a shame, probably either didn’t receive the sales they expected from company of heroes 3 or just have a bit of downtime between releases?

Great addition, it’s bytesized and cozy. I suggest you all at least to check it out

This all bloats the service imo.

Don’t become the same as amazon prime, please…

Looking forward to redfall!

@NeutronBomb these days almost no game is sadly

@fizban3332 you’re absolutely correct. Microsoft needs to market their games better though. Make some sequels, choose their main characters, do cross-marketing (like super smash bros did, or make skins in halo ultimate for their other games, i would love a red or black redfall skin with the teeth on my helmet, or decoration or an event for other games in forza), make yourself and the games you stand for known better.

Or do some marketing áfter the game has released. It’s so weird we see a reception trailer on their xbox youtube for high on life TODAY. After months of that game being available. Where is the after-market hi-fi rush? That game should get attention every week for a month at least. It’s a game that could thrive on hype.

It’s also weird: IGN’s xbox podcast made the comment that ‘Microsoft managed to build a great streaming infrastructure, and for that, they’re now punished, which is really odd.’

It’s correct. They have the best cloud gaming service out there. Google tried it, failed, mainly due to a bad business model. Amazon is still there with Luna. Facebook has a very bad service laying around somewhere. Nvidia has the best competition for Microsoft. Am I missing a player here?

Microsoft is the only one actually investing much in cloud gaming. Actually building the infrastructure. And now they’re not allowed this deal which would benefit a lot of services, but also cloud gaming as a whole.

I agree with Nvidia on this.

Cloud gaming needs a player like Microsoft to build and mange the infrastructure, but also a game that appeals to the masses and for which all these investments are worth it.

Otherwise, cloud gaming stays as lukewarm as it is now. I only used it for jrpg’s (final fantasy series) on my phone when those games were on Gamepass.

I really liked this trailer, now I’m very much looking forward playing this game next week!

I’d buy a portable system with game pass that can play the games well without cloud streaming anytime.

@NEStalgia thank you for your comment, i didn’t know all that, very informative!

SE has been at war with other console manufacturers for decades. They just had to find a new target after making up with Nintendo.

Maybe it has something to do with the NFT shop that Sony has been working at, and Xbox saying to SE they don’t want to develop such a thing…?

@themightyant they also had a few showings already with playable demos at game shows such as Pax Australia in 2019. They are indeed not helping themselves… or other indie devs for that matter.

@Kramlar i agree with you. Yes, hollow knight is a great game, but there are tons of other great games in these directs as well. So petty to not pay attention to those that should be in the spotlight too.

Wow, impressive one! I like it a lot.

And it makes me looking forward to Starfield’s showcase. I hope the UI and the art of Starfield will be equally impressive.

They could have just changed the top lightning/shade from green to red. I would probably have bought that.

Xbox also misses FF pixel remasters 1-6 and the upcoming FF 16 and 7 Remake pt 2.

Sony is probably making plans to gobble up SE.

@Tharsman who does get along with Sony nowadays?

Capcom, EA, Square Enix and Bandai Namco and that’s more or less about it from the big guns.

How trustworthy is the source, does anyone know? I haven't bought Shin Megami Tensei IV yet and would like to know whether I will buy it digitally on the 3ds or whether I will wait for a physical version on the Switch.

I think the owner was playing the game Scorn and accidentally left it on standby during the night.
