Most "fanboys" spend more time defending their blind loyalty to a plastic gadget than actually using it.

Defeats the object of what they are trying to achieve.

@S1ayeR74 all three have pockets of toxic fanboys. PS fanbase is just overall larger (at least for now) so their toxic section is just more prominent. But it exists across all unfortunately. I wish all would just enjoy gaming.

Not a surprise that with all the content. Im impressed it isnt well over 100gb.

Beginning to think MS Store leaking is inentional sometimes lol

@Tharsman most things on Kotaku are ridiculous these days.

I cant knock Phils point here and I think the reaction is a bit harsh. Hes talking about from a personal point of view and a lot of what he said was right.

Microsoft are just so heavily invested in Game Pass now that any impact on the principal of preservation and game ownership has to be accepted.

@Senua been literally tons of articles slating Sonys approach to BC (and perhaps rightly so) but a lot of the talk was prior to launch of PS5 and has died down.

I will say I didnt see much of it around Nintendo. They get a free pass in the media quite a lot.

Cant wait for this.

@carlos82 aye hardware based will still be king for a few years yet. Problem with anything cloud based is global internet speeds just havent caught up with the progress.

My hype for this is off the scale. I love Fable.

Series X - Doom Eternal loving the upgrade. More FH4 convinced ill never finish it before FH5 🤣

PS5 - Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart

Switch - gonna make a start on the new Mario Golf

@Cyrus29 fanboys are poison to the gaming community. Showing loyalty to a plastic box is mental. Just enjoy games regardless of platform.

@Chaudy with the open world Halo 6 will be a much different Halo. Story will be a challenge so I hope they nail it too.

Its a franchise as much as CoD and Battlefield is just without the annual releases and much much better single player focus.

I completely forget about backgrounds still have the default on spend so little time in the dashboard 😅

@Cherip-the-Ripper why would it? Only relevant to their article to discuss Playstation.

Similarly if Game Pass wasnt mentioned then this article wouldnt be on here.

@mousieone I cant say the fanboys really want to hear it but you are spot on with that.

Sony is reestablishing their indie side and some of the devs complaints were a bit OTT. Any of the big 3 would expect a platform specific trailer for example. Common sense.

Microsoft only really heavily promotes indies actually on Game Pass. Again understandable to a degree GP is their baby right now.

Nintendo if anything promotes them too much. Eshop is full of indie coverage and a lot of it is shovelware.

None of their strategies are perfect really.

Still loads to do on FH4 😂 but cant wait for this.

No way Insomniac acquisition was a retaliation. They had been working with Sony for years it was a natural fit. Same with Housemarque and Bluepoint. Natural fits.

Same time. Microsoft buying Bethesda was perfect for them. They needed a more immediate and significant boost to their portfolio of studios. It was a natural fit. They could in theory now start looking at devs working closely with them Moon Studios for example.

There was never an arms race. They took different directions.

Not for me but good to see some of the more niche channels getting exposure.

Just need to recreate the chavs queuing outside now.

This is the one game im waiting on more than anything.

Thats me done. I will never complete it just spend playtime on Alex the Kidd 🤣

@somnambulance Abandoned is either one of his best trolling skits to date, or one of the biggest PR nightmares in recent times.

To be honest. I see more articles talkong about it in the media than I see Sony fans crying about it.

Think its beating a dead horse at this point. Always made sense to lock the titles to the Xbox ecosystem. Only questionmark was whether anything contractual before the acquisition would make any future titles multiplat. E3 answered that question pretty much.

Think Rare will tell us what Everwild actually is or will it be a deep dive into the Sea of Thieves expansion?

I dont get anyone knocking either Microsofts or Nintendos conferences. Both killed it.

Microsoft we knew would go pretty big and they did. Excited to see first party games on the horizon.

Nintendo dont deserve some of the criticism. They did exactly what they set out to do message was "Hey sorry we have been silent games are coming here is a taste" they will have other directs over the next few months.

Same with Microsoft. Not the last show of announcements we will see from them either.

For me E3 is pretty much a goner in a few years but its still nice to see some companies still trying to keep it alive.

Nadella deserves some credit too. Between the two of them gaming division getting a tonne of investment and attention.

Bethesda purchase wouldnt have happened under Steve Ballmer's watch.

I just hope it isnt all Bethesda games. Its a huge purchase so bound to be most of the showcase but want to see more from other studios too. Wonder what Moon Studios is up to.

@StonyKL bound to be an "In Phil we trust" comment coming up soon.

@mousieone @uptownsoul put the weapons down and take a breath.

Must be a slow news day. Used to be possible to run OG Xbox emulator through a fat PS3s Linux OS with enough savvy.

These types of workarounds been existing for years but far too much time on ones hands needed.

I find this game an odd one. That tax clause with Sony relates to in game purchases I thought and Borderlands 3 has none.

This is likely 2k games taking a general stance against Sonys policy and if it is and they do it across their 2k sports series for example. Maybe just maybe it might provoke a change.

Sad it would take that to do it though.

@Sol4ris perceived bias aside his point is a valid one.

Sony are being obnoxiously stubborn over it and its gonna take a big hitter ie GTA, Battlefield, CoD etc to get them to change their position. This one wont do it sadly.

Id like to see a few announced then drop this year but expectations in check on that front.

Psyched to see all the first party stuff in pipeline though. Hopefully see a lot of gameplay.

If Sony were partnering with them in some way it would create an interesting scenario but I dont see it happening.

It could be a threat to Stadia etc but on its own I dont think its a direct competitor to Game Pass.

@gingataisen I think the narrative went long before this gen. But I dont disagree getting back on top in their home region would be a bonus. Just that there isnt really that age old sales battle anymore.

@SegataSanshiro True point taken. I too am also a fan, Series X owner and a GP subscriber. I just think the whole sales and regional battle a bit of a dead horse.

Still some conquering there for the taking though. Keen to see how Japanese market looks once Xcloud grows out there.

Worrying. I know they are far more than just Halo and Forza but if the only big hitters this year are Halo and Forza big Phil is going to have to get on it with the messaging again.

@gingataisen @SegataSanshiro unfortunately (or fortunately depending on your view) its not the 90s/early 2000s anymore the console war narrative has gone. No one reigns supreme these days.

Playstation and Xbox are almost like Coca Cola and Pepsi at this point. One may have the edge in a region but ultimately they now do their own thing.

Proof will be in the pudding so to speak. Lets hope they do cultivate their studios. Buying ready made ones is great but I think studios built from the ground up like The Initiative will be key to success this gen.

I look forward to smashing out kills as a duck, gingerbread man or giant moose.

Kinda glad I own all 3 for this. For those that dont hopefully can enjoy it on Xcloud somehow.

@blinx01 I have not seen anyone question it recently on social networks etc.

Just the media that seem to keep talking about it now. Lol.

Project Gotham Racing. The novelty of being able to use custom music in it as well.

What is all the drama about either console having a genre diversity problem 😆 neither do.

Its all a lot of melodrama. Its not an ideal business practice but it happens and they all do it.

Everyone forgets Rise of the Tomb Raider. All the big 3 have been at it before. Nothing really new just Sony pushing it harder these days.

Timed Exclusivity deals are no different than the whole release a film/tv show on one service then release it on demand elsewhere. Just business and they are all at it.

@blinx01 sorry I posted my comment about E3 before I saw yours. If it happens you can take the credit 😁

@JayJ its more that the Pushsquare reviewer feels it is their ideal Resi game. Every opinion will be different.

I do agree on the marketing and incentives bit . One thing I like more than anything about Pushsquare here and Nintendolife is the review quality. Always objective.

IGN and Gamespot on the other hand? Would be right on the money there 🤣
