This is one reason the console wars makes less sense with PS and Xbox than the 90's. They have 95% of the same library and have since Xbox entered the market.
I feel like this game will become good. Now, the question is who is the main culprit for the release model of "release it now, fix it later" mentality. At least in this instance.
As is my typical mantra, I'm glad Xbox is my third-party machine first. It has third-party games in spades.
While I thought it looked okay, pre-release, it was slightly worrying they weren't really explaining what it is. Unfortunately, this feels more like a Fallout 76 situation than it should.
This really shouldn't change a thing, except maybe reinforce the idea that MS needs to focus harder on getting more quality games out on a consistent basis.
It's probably due to the shadow drop, as I'm sure others have noted. It kind of seemed destined to be niche when I saw it. Reminds me a bit of a Goichi Suda game. Great game, either way.
Sony dominated multiple markets because of their actions. Aside from the Wii/360 generation where those consoles with DS had large market shares and Gen 9, where Nintendo is crushing it with the Switch, of course. I'm glad people are finally starting to take notice because most of the gaming press seems indifferent and always have. As if it was just the natural order.
I don't see how they took anything away when literally no platforms were talked about at Starfield's announcement and they announced Redfall AFTER the acquisition. Officially, neither were coming to PS and both are new IP. Even without the latter point, it never seemed like they took anything away from PS.
MS already offered to put COD on PS+, so oh well. It would be a little hilarious if the deal goes through and Sony, instead of Nintendo, is left out of COD. Not happening, but I'd chortle endlessly.
This is why I skip a few entries in series that see frequent releases, I won't tire from the series as easily as those who play all of them. This article reeks of someone who gets them all day one and burnt themselves out on it.

Idk if I like this take.
Re: Report: Activision Blizzard Hires Royal Family-Level Lawyer To Fight UK CMA
By George, I think this will work!
Re: Phil Spencer Says Xbox 'Needs To Improve' Its Development Process
As much as I despise PS fanboys, it is still true that MS deserves most of the blame for Redfall turning out poorly.
But it is commendable that Phil owned up to it. And I feel like MS will right the ship as fast as possible.
Re: Review: Redfall - Arkane's Undead Experiment Brings Mixed Results To Xbox Game Pass

Re: Roundup: Here's What The Critics Think Of Redfall On Xbox Game Pass
While I thought it looked okay, pre-release, it was slightly worrying they weren't really explaining what it is. Unfortunately, this feels more like a Fallout 76 situation than it should.
Re: Xbox Game Pass Players Are 'Heading For New Zealand' To Play Redfall Early
Let's hope this game is good, but the review embargo is yikes.
Re: Talking Point: Have You Been Enjoying 'Star Wars Jedi: Survivor' On Xbox?
Haven't bought it yet, but I plan on it when it's discounted.
Edit: I legitimately didn't think this was a common sentiment, but here we are.
Re: Redfall Case Spotted With 'No 60FPS' Sticker Looks Hella Dodgy
Pffft, that's fake.
Re: Talking Point: Where Does Xbox Go Next If ActiBlizz Deal Falls Through?
This really shouldn't change a thing, except maybe reinforce the idea that MS needs to focus harder on getting more quality games out on a consistent basis.
Re: Roundup: Star Wars Jedi: Survivor Seriously Impresses In Early Reviews
Come on, we knew this wouldn't suck.
Re: Xbox's Activision Blizzard Deal Officially Blocked In The UK
Ah, so it wasn't (nominally) because of Sony. Unexpected, but Jim Ryan isn't cryin'.
Re: Xbox Exec Responds To Hi-Fi RUSH Rumour, Says The Game Was A 'Break Out Hit'
I like Grubb, but he was absolutely bodied.
Re: Dishonored 3 Was Put On Pause For A 'Small Game' Known As Deathloop
Dishonored is the next game I need to beat after finally beating Fallout 4. I can wait for 3. Lol
Re: Rumour: Xbox Exclusive Hi-Fi RUSH 'Didn't Make The Money It Needed To Make'
It's probably due to the shadow drop, as I'm sure others have noted. It kind of seemed destined to be niche when I saw it. Reminds me a bit of a Goichi Suda game. Great game, either way.
Re: One Of Xbox's 'Forthcoming' Games Could Take An Entire Decade To Develop
ES 6 should absolutely NOT take another decade.
Re: Ghostwire: Tokyo's Xbox Version Described As 'Big Disappointment' In Digital Foundry Tech Review
Well, DF has spoken. Now, I don't need to play it since they do my thinking for me!
Re: Xbox Fan Wins 'Game Pass For Life', But Shockingly Declines The Prize
I see the trolls are out in full force, today.
Re: Bethesda's Stunning Redfall Xbox Series X Console Is Up For Grabs
I assume the pandemic is the primary driver behind a general lack of special edition consoles for purchase.
Re: Jim Ryan Fears 'Serious Damage' If Xbox Degrades Call Of Duty For PlayStation
On the one hand, Pure Xbox is milking these articles. On the other hand, seeing Jim Ryan cry incessantly is hysterical.
Re: Sony Blasts CMA's Xbox Verdict As 'Surprising, Unprecedented And Irrational'
I read these stories and laugh so hard because I imagine Jim Ryan sobbing uncontrollably.
Re: E3 2023 Has Officially Been Cancelled
Xbox presentation eases the sting, but a Nintendo Direct would make this a lot more bearable.
Re: Microsoft Welcomes Investigation Into Sony's 'Anti-Competitive Tactics' In Japan
Sony dominated multiple markets because of their actions. Aside from the Wii/360 generation where those consoles with DS had large market shares and Gen 9, where Nintendo is crushing it with the Switch, of course. I'm glad people are finally starting to take notice because most of the gaming press seems indifferent and always have. As if it was just the natural order.
Re: Xbox Making Big Adjustment To Popular Microsoft Rewards Punch Card
What a bunch of crap.
Re: LEGO 2K Drive 'Live-Service' Includes Real Money Transactions
That's utterly absurd for a full priced game, but given the publisher it's not shocking.
Re: Microsoft Issues Statement In Response To 'Redfall On PS5' Reports
I don't see how they took anything away when literally no platforms were talked about at Starfield's announcement and they announced Redfall AFTER the acquisition. Officially, neither were coming to PS and both are new IP. Even without the latter point, it never seemed like they took anything away from PS.
Re: Xbox Takes Major Step Towards Activision Blizzard Approval In UK
Oh, so we don't get to hear Jim Ryan cry? What a shame!
Also, these are extremely dark times for PS fanboys. Please give them space.
Re: Xbox 'Fails To Qualify' As Metacritic Reveals 2023 Game Publisher Rankings
What do you mean, they're the third one on the list?! 😉
Re: Talking Point: Did You Play Epic's Ill-Fated Gears Of War Spinoff On Xbox 360?
I got it for free and like what I've played but Idk if I'd have bought it.
Re: Xbox Makes Changes To Microsoft Rewards Following 'Tracking' Issues
I had minor tracking issues, but they were just lag. I don't complain much since it's free money for searching and playing video games...
Re: Starfield Is Launching On Xbox This September, Developer Direct Arriving In June
Glad to see it finally has a release date. Very nice.
Re: Sony Remains 'Extremely Sceptical' Of Reaching ActiBlizz Agreement With Microsoft
MS already offered to put COD on PS+, so oh well. It would be a little hilarious if the deal goes through and Sony, instead of Nintendo, is left out of COD. Not happening, but I'd chortle endlessly.
Re: Video: Digital Foundry Questions Whether Features Should Be Dropped On Xbox Series S
Digital Foundry was a mistake.
Re: Soapbox: I Hope Forza Horizon 6 Goes In A Different Direction For The Series

Re: Talking Point: Could You Ever See Microsoft Selling The Xbox Brand?
I doubt it. They've been in the console business for over 20 years. No point in selling it. Though ending it altogether is not out of the question.
Re: Tango Gameworks Founder Thanks Fans For Support Ahead Of Departure
If they make more games like Hi-Fi Rush, color me interested.
Re: Xbox's Phil Spencer 'Excited' To Bring First Party Game To PlayStation Plus
@Moonglow I also like arguing with people that agree with me.
Re: Xbox's Phil Spencer 'Excited' To Bring First Party Game To PlayStation Plus
Very clearly PR but hey, they already have Minecraft everywhere so...meh?

@themightyant it certainly isn't the end of the world.
Re: Report: Resident Evil Creator Shinji Mikami Is Leaving Xbox Studio Tango Gameworks
That's a pretty huge loss, but I think he is getting up there in age.
Re: AI-Generated Bethesda 'Leaks' Give Us A Glimpse Into A Scary Future
@NEStalgia yeah. I was hoping this wouldn't come true but, as with everything in this world, my worst nightmare usually does.
Re: Microsoft Signs Binding Contract To Bring Call Of Duty To Nintendo
I took the tweet to mean COD, just because of the picture. He misspoke when he didn't specify but I got the gist.
Re: AI-Generated Bethesda 'Leaks' Give Us A Glimpse Into A Scary Future
I think most people predicted this would happen, but Kojima was oddly specific in MGS 2 for situations like this. Has CIA written all over it.
Re: Octopath Traveler 2's Glowing Reviews Make The Xbox Situation Even More Painful
Feels like I've stumbled into Nintendo Life with an article like this...
