@NeutronBomb and didn't even need it.

@Ile I think if you buy the console they owe you exclusive games, but from the consumer perspective, idk why gamepass day 1 should make anyone happy while knowing the majority of the console playerbase for those games won't play the games.

It's like. Ha! You can't play these games no more and now I get to rent them for $15. No new games added. Just the same games, for less people, with the inclusion of being able to rent them.

I'm 100 percent sure, if any of you guys were the heads of sony, you would be doing exactly what Sony is doing here.

@Sol4ris I think a lot of you get confused with anti consumer and doing regular business practices.

There's a gray area. Not everything is black or white.

Who can hate Reggie and his new nintendo 3ds?

Duh. This shouldn't be a surprise. Anyone with a business would do the same.

Maybe hire someone like Shuhei Yoshida that told Santa Monica that its early build of God of War was garbage and that ended up being on of the best, if not the best game of last generation?

With 30 studios, under awesome management, there's absolutely no need for more.

They can get Ubisoft, but if Ubisoft is still as good as Ubisoft atm, under xbox, it really doesn't do anything for me. Same for AB. We need improvement for Blizzard and Activision.

@Would_you_kindly I would suggest to let the Halo Ip die. With 30 plus studios, better IPs can come. Sony doesn't use Crash or Twisted Metal anymore so you don't always have to have the same games since you started.

Not everything can be Pokemon, Mario or Zelda.

It feels bad in comparison to other f2p and paid games. Siege was releasing 8 operators per year, with new maps, events etc.
Paladins released 12 or more champions per year when it was starting. Battle royale games seasons don't last 6 months and they change things, add new weapons etc. each week.

If you can't keep up with the content, my suggestion would be to release a game with so much content at launch that no new content doesn't matter as much. Like games back on 360/ps3, when they released complete.

@Ile Yeah but is having the games day 1 on gamepass enough to justify 100million not getting the game?

And yes. We must go where the games at.

@Grumblevolcano Bethesda was going to shut down their studios. It could still happen if they keep releasing games like GhostWire and Deathloop, that don't appeal to the masses that much.

I agree with AB.

@Grumblevolcano At least with timed exclusivity, the other one can play it.

It seems people forget games like sf5 and ff7 would not have happened at the time they happened without sony. That is another thing of itself.

@KilloWertz How did we end up with fanboys wanting to steal games from one another?

New studios/Buying Independent studios = New games added in gaming.

Buying Publishers = Same games but for less people (Although Bethesda was going to close studios so that one was ok and with Ghostwire and Deathloop they still have to figure out how to sell more).

@Lavalera Google and Amazon could outbid MS for AB and the ftc wouldn't scrutinize them because they have almost no presence in gaming. I still wonder why they didn't do it.

@Kooky_Daisuke If Take two (18B) bought Zynga (12B), why can't sony (130B) buy Ubisoft (5B)????

@AtlanteanMan Yup. I bet people will cheer that the next battlefield has a scoreboard. Freetoplay and GaaS (not all of them) are slowly making people getting used to getting less and less.

@Bleachedsmiles I wished, but the normies from my friendlist mostly play BR.

Enough with these BR!!!

It's like everyone wanted to make a fps back on 360/ps3 but now it's BR.

It should be a standard hero shooter instead.

Shouldn't they have them online since they have their own subscription service?

Ubisoft has dropped the ball lately. Capcom and Square already surpassed them market cap wise and Square even has dropped too.

Edit: Wait nevermind. Ubisoft somehow are above Square and Capcom again.

Both companies could give us more customization for our profiles. We don't even have animated avatars or when you join a party, there could be a short ringtone.

Do it! DOOooo IT!!

@Rural-Bandit Hopefully cod isn't an oonga boonga game anymore.

@Would_you_kindly YEEEEEEEEEEES THOSE ONES ARE PERFECT

@uptownsoul ALWAYS. ALWAYS expect a delay. It's industry standard. I can only think of Capcom sticking to their release dates (besides Pragmata).

Stay away from Hogwarts and Gotham Knights though. That Dumbledore (almost said Gandalf) movie and The Batman will boost those two up.

Delays are good.

Forza and Starfield will affect it too ofc.

Just make a godzilla game. They'll love it.

Don't worry guys. I'm buying Sony and MS and stopping this crap.

I hate street fighter 5 ads in street fighter 5.

Maybe PH ads?

@NEStalgia
That title is fire. Cop day 1.

You did not say GT7 is as a bad as malaria hahahaha.
Nah, but I really enjoyed gt7 even though I'm not into racers. I don't think an unfair grind makes a game a nightmare, but it sure ruins the longevity of it. I think Halo Infinite is a worse scenario. My brother is a mega fan of Halo (it's how I tried Halo Infinite multiplayer) and he doesn't have it downloaded. He went back to Halo 3... a 360 game. I don't feel like going back to GT5 in my case. But yes. The future doesn't look bright for the other GaaS but since they did listened and acted quickly, I'm hopeful.

@Rural-Bandit I still have to see this slow down for cod. I will believe it when I see it. Phil and Jim lie all the time.

They tweeted today it's still coming in 2022, but GOOOOOD not seeing anything makes me anxious.

@Royalblues I won't look for your particular comments but you do like to "stir the pot" too. That's where I point out the self awareness thing. The reply wasn't about GaaS specifically. I just wrote two negative things about Sony on Pushsquare if you haven't noticed. I never said you are a fanboy. I'm just defending myself as not being one. You jump too soon on people's motives. I'm not here to bash. I just like to talk about gaming. You won't see me on Nintendo life because idgad about their games (most of them). I outgrew nintendo gaming wise.

All I said is that Xbox hasn't released enough games to warrant me looking (very hard because of the scalping) for an xbox. I personally feel like a console's biggest selling point are the games. Services do not excite me at all. Nada. But yes, I want multiplayer games too. Even if it's from Sony. In general it's a low quality "genre" at this moment for me. Sony also charges for ps plus but no major mp games from them. I always say Pushsquare guys need to get some friends because their labels on mp are horrible.

and it's fine. Have been told much worse things.

@NeoRatt I don't believe it. Phil said Bethesda games were going to be wherever gamepass is. AB is different because of regulations. They want to play nice. Shareholders can be pleased seeing how xbox is selling as much as ps5 during these last weeks and could keep going with ab attractiveness. They need to sell consoles to sell gamepass, where most of their subs are I bet.

@Rural-Bandit ***** I forget they just bought Candy Crush. That's how much I care about that game lmao.

I really don't want to keep talking about services. I just want to see the games (both are very silent).

@Rural-Bandit I'm going to disagree on that it's more content part. When Xbox bought Bethesda, they saved them economically, so it's the same amount of games. Now when it comes to AB, it's the same games. Not more, unless they make the studios bigger but AB pretty much did that already.

Both should buy independent studios or studios that will be closed down (Like Bethesda was going to do). That actually maintains the same flow of games or makes new ones. This buying whole publishers has changed my mind. My current thoughts are that anyone who wants Sony to buy Capcom or Xbox buying EA (EA play is already on gamepass) needs therapy because they're just happy the other console are not getting games that they USED to get. Nobody is getting extra games.

I would prefer if Bandai, Square and Capcom would merge so nobody can buy them.

Sony can stay in the 20s. There isn't that many that makes sense under them. Insomniac is making 3 games and are the current GOAT at the moment so studio count is not everything.

@NEStalgia You and Bamozzy have the same problem. You write too much lol.

The pool is finite. Your soccer moms that play candy crush that are considered to be "gamers" won't sub to gamepass. Gaming is bigger because of revenue, not by people count. Shawn said last gen gamers spent more than in the ps3/360 era, which brings me to the point that $60 and $70 can be very successful. There's also less of them because of development cycles so they will be more than fine (if you don't make bf2042 or a d.allstars). So the same amount of gamers but spend more and less games to buy so it's great.

GT7 is not a nightmare scenario because things like bf2042 or avengers are worse. The game is still selling and they now have listened and they actually bumped the rewards even more compared to launch date. It's honestly fine now. They also sold the game for $70. That game will reach 10-15m sales if GT sport, which was worse is any indication.

@NEStalgia I agree with the first paragraph, but why can't that happen to GP? Even worse since the pool of gamers is smaller than movie/tv show watchers? I don't like mtx being the counterweight for that lack of pool neither. I wouldn't like Sony to do it either btw.

There is competition though. It's just that it isn't a service that it's competing and honestly it doesn't have to be. Whoever makes the next fortnite "wins" for example. Would you rather have a live service game as big as Fortnite or Gamepass? I think that's Sony's new bet for this new gen.

@Rural-Bandit I still think 23 or 30 plus studios making exclusives is enough for anyone who is a real gamer to want to buy it.

@Royalblues I'm not fooling anyone lol.

I didn't like playing Halo Infinite Multiplayer and a car sim isn't enough for me to be spending $500 + $60/120 per year LMAO. If that's good enough to get an xbox as your second console, to play only those games, good for you. It's not for me and you need to start handling better different opinions. Hell, if people do not like hard games, a PS5 as a secondary console might not be for them, yet. See how I can keep the same energy?

I'm waiting for Starfield and gameplay trailers for their upcoming games. Those are the games I care about and if that seems like a fanboyish move to make, that's your problem. I also debate/disagree with people at Pushsquare pretty often if you haven't seen my GaaS stand vs them just to name one. It's not like I haven't seen you doing the exact same thing at Pushquare. Like I said.

People lack self awareness.

Sorry if the response is not likeable but please consider how you did respond.

@Rural-Bandit Yeah. I always meant no more publishers. They absolutely do not need another publisher. I think with Bethesda it was enough already. 23 studios as of right now right? That's more than Sony's and Sony has already justify getting their console this year imo. By the second year, PS4 only had Bloodborne as the only worthwhile exclusive imo. PS5 is doing A LOT better with Returnal, DSouls, RnC, GoW, HFW, GT7, Miles and Sackboy. I also think there's 1-2 more things for this year (TLOU remake with the new multiplayer) and maybe Firesprite's next game?

@Royalblues If Bethesda games were multiplatform, there could be no reason to get an xbox (As a second console) as it seems their acquired 2018 studios are in development troubles. I hope they justify me getting a secondary console. That's all I care about. At the end it will always be about the games/content.

@Kopite @uptownsoul

Yeah it's funny how little self aware a lot of people are. Much less aware of companies that don't give a damn about them and get lied to. In general I mean.

@Grumblevolcano
I know. I don't like it and I have talked about that too much in here already.

@Royalblues
Yeah they're def not buying anymore more publishers after this. Honestly 30 plus studios should be more than enough. If Phil fails it wasn't because of lack of studios/exclusives this time around.

Anyways I think both would make them exclusive. They're multi because of FTC regulations. They don't want to screw this up. Having the games on gamepass day 1 is enough for them.

Phil watching the recent Netflix news must not give him confidence in Gamepass lol.

@GunValkyrian Bungie...

Bethesda...

lmao

I even hate the ads from sf5 showing ads for sf5 lmao

It needs a battle royale - Dr. Disrespect

@mousieone I wouldn't be too sure.

@StylesT Weird how DS is the least liked AAA ps sony exclusive.

or is it Days Gone?

@Kooky_Daisuke Exactly. I wouldn't try death stranding for free. It's basically a walking sim with a movie kojima usually loves to create.

MGS5 has superb gameplay. The story could have been finished and the open world could have been better, but it's a very good game.

@Dsswoosh

I don't think purchasing being available matters if the games don't sell well and we're a minority.

Gamepass is not the same as renting on Blockbuster. I used to rent games on blockbuster too.

The future already exists in mobile gaming and tv shows.

Hell, Just watching the Disney Plus marvel series, they're mostly ok. Not as good as an avengers movie, thor ragnarok, spider-man or the upcoming dr. strange. I guess cinema still exists and that's your point but I still think we will see less of those cinema/AAA games from who ever has a service. I already feel like Marvel is releasing less movies. I can't keep up with the series. I'm behind 2 and they're not as enjoyable as a lot of their movies. I guess that's my fear happening to Sony (or any third party Publisher I like) that choose to focus on services and I'm glad they chose the other route.

@mousieone Tales. Not Tales of Arise.

Or another entry if you want to call it that.

@Dsswoosh Oh you mean that I don't want Gamepass to be the only way to deliver games in the future?

Well in that case yeah, but what I meant was that it didn't matter until real hardcore xbox fans decided renting games is the better way. Some are not saying it's an option. Some really only play games on Gamepass by this point.

Renting an individual game was fine. This is new.

I guess I replay games (especially multiplayer) so that doesn't apply to me, but I guess wanting a bigger sequel would be another reason. You can always resell it too.

I just think it's silly (I'm going hypothetical) to give up Resident Evil 4 remake as an exclusive for Umbrella corps 2 multiplayer because it's cheaper. Again. Making the exclusives up. Not saying the exclusives are of that quality either. It's just a scenario.

That's... very very low and I'm thinking there won't be a sequel. Tales will have one though.

Bandai Namco is making a new high graphical engine so their budget seem that will increase too.

@Syndrome I think the title was changed because of my comment.
