Sounds like this might be like the Ash vs Evil Dead and Halloween 2D games.

I think most of yall are missing the point. MS is a business, and yes they do care about Xbox fans, but they care more about money. Its no different with Sony if they were in the same position. Not enough people are buying Xbox's, so they have to go down another avenue for survival.

Before anyone says if they would have just held on a little longer after the Bethesda/ABK purchases people would have jumped ship...false. No one is leaving the platforms they are on anymore. People built there digital libraries out last gen. Sony won that gen, so MS is now meeting people where they are at. They understand that.

It is what it is. 🤷‍♂️

I dont care if they put them all over there. I'm just more concerned about what Sony might turn into if that day ever came.

@Fiendish-Beaver I'd honestly be shocked if there are no Xbox games announced for PlayStation at the biggest multiplatform show of the year.

Well...he's not wrong 🤷‍♂️. I mean I get why MS is porting games over there. They don't want too, but the benefit of the sales are too great to ignore. Especially because they aren't worried about consoles sales anymore, just mainly a GP company at this point.

@OldGamer999 Uncle Phil already said it perfectly in that interview on XCast. It doesn't matter at this point what exclusives they put out. They lost the most important generation there was (PS4/XboxOne) when people built out there digital libraries.

I always enjoy this event. I applaud Keighley for filling in the gaps of announcements throughout the year.

@Stoned_Patrol Yea I've had my eye on that since it was announced in 2015, but its been pretty clear for awhile that developer is in wayyyy over there heads. At this point either cancel the game or release it in the state it's in.

@Seioni Over ambitious is what happened. Same with Little Devil Inside.

Idk what it is, but the game looks dated in all the footage I've seen. The graphics are obviously a step up, but most everything I've seen looks like a game from 2012. Like an old Bethesda RPG. Very kind of jank and unimpactful.

@oopsiezz Thanks for the update.

@Balaam_ Well Jez Corden is a clown. I dont know why anyone listens to him. His just a fan boy not really an insider.

Really wish they would put the Sega Genesis Collection on sale one more time before it's delisted.

@somnambulance Yea, but the issue here is the longevity of access to the content you have purchased. If we ever lose full access to the servers I might not ever buy a game digitally again.

I was definitely not in that 50%

@HonestHick I agree. I wish all these publishers would do this, and let what these companies offer on there platforms from a feature standpoint be the decision on what console you buy.

@GuyinPA75 You're smart one aren't you, lol.

@HonestHick I didn't say they were leaving hardware, but they will be publishing 75% of there titles elsewhere within five years. They'll have a next gen console, but there will only be a few titles they keep exclusive.

Xbox will be an almost full blown publisher within the next five years.

@InvaderFromSpace I was just going to mention that he said the announcement was for Forza and missed on that one. I completely agree about Gears being a prequel and a perfect time to introduce a new audience. Same with Halo remaking the first one. Where the article fails to mention is this stemmed from another leaker named MAAG that said all these games were coming to Playstation. Then eXtas1s commented on it on X(Twitter).

He'll never live this down. Jim Ryan made a comment years ago about why would anyone want to play old games nowadays, and he heard about it till the day he retired.

Cronos and Mouse were the best things on display.

@cragis0001 Yea I see what you're are saying, but it was eventually going to go this way for one of them. It was never going to stay an almost 50/50 split like it was during the 360/PS3 era. MS was in this position at the beginning of last gen and was trying to push shady tactics with DRM, Kinect etc, and it cost them and they haven't been able to recover since. I do agree with you that it's a healthy market with both of them, but with last gen being the gen everyone built out there digital libraries. Whichever platform you were on then is probably the one you stick with and nothing MS does will ever change it. Even Phil said this when he was on XCast.

I don't see a problem with this. More people that get to play this franchise the better.

It wouldn't have sold anyways. They can barely sell the X/S already.

I could care less about BO6 coming to GamePass tbh. Probably wasn't going to play it either way.

Add another one to the live service graveyard

I'll be buying it, but on PS5.

I still like what I saw.

Quite a few cool looking games in there. Thanks for putting them all in one article. Push Square could take a few notes from you guys, lol.

Well MS has to off set the lack of games sales somewhere. 🤷‍♂️

I wouldn't buy it anyway.

I don't normally watch Gamescom live, but I do enjoying watching the Game Awards each year.

Hate to hear this. I actually really enjoyed the show.

Boy this is a complete sh#t show

At that price I'd rather just buy my games. I probably only get through five major games a year. I don't have time to play all that comes that comes to subscription services anyways.

I think this is MS trying to deflect that the Series S has slowed down this generation.

Well yall left out where he said "Xbox gamers can look forward to many games to launch exclusively on Xbox". That sounds like most are timed exclusives if you ask me.

@niggyt2004 Exactly. That's why I wouldn't believe this. They're not putting it on Xbox because they don't want too.

Seems like this is going to be a running theme going into the future.

I thought that POS publisher just said they were done with cuts and shutdowns?

I don't see any issue with this, and I understand why they're doing it.

Ubisoft should do like EA another even have one at this point.

I like how you guys cover all the games coming from all showcases here. Unlike on Push Square they just cherry pick titles they want to cover.

Blame the Series S

I thought it was good, but the budget really showed on the boss fights. They were all copy and paste.

Favorite is Heavenly Sword but that wasn't released on Xbox.

This all boils down to money. Xbox is a failing platform and they shot there selves in the foot by pushing for the acquisition of Bethesda and Activision. You pile the failure of Xbox with the combination of the acquisitions, then that equals Microsoft getting involved and pulling the strings. I think Phil thought MS would buy these companies and let Xbox keep losing money for 3 to 5 more years and hope that it would blossom into people flocking to Xbox. That's obviously not happening and now Phil is paying the price at the cost of Xbox becoming primarily a publisher in the future.

I'm gonna tell you what happened. They bought Bethesda and Activision and thought people would just leave other platforms in droves for Xbox and thats not what happened. People didn't care and stayed where they are. Now this is the results of that failure and the future 3rd party approach

The more moves Xbox makes the more it makes me glad I jumped ship after the 360 era.
