@shoeses I think as time goes on more and more AAA games, apart from first party will not be on game pass ,itll cost ms too much ,its just not viable ,so it'll be first party and a load of indie planting potatoes games.
@Bionic-Spencer its coming, dont worry,another console from ms and then its full time publisher time with a game pass app ,it makes sense for them,they'd love game pass on ps and switch ,they just have to make the deal worthwhile to them.
@themightyant doesn't matter whos making the most money ,well not to me anyway ,just want them all to make great games ,they do, and they can have my money.
@Onlyboxmatters I cant decide which is more embarrassing your comment, or the 8 likes youve received, who cares ,Sony and Microsoft don't, so why should you.
@StylesT yeah I enjoyed dead island 2 far more ,it was great...Great Xmas present for there employees,nice one embracer π best of luck to everyone involved.
I really don't know why xbox fans want to pick this up ,does ms really need another troubled ip on there hands ,or is it they just want to get one over on ps gamers ,there's a reason Sony pulled funding ,it clearly wasn't upto standard ,xbox doesn't need another redfall,they have enough studios now ,how about concentrating on making great original games,instead of trying to buy their way into a bigger market share.
@Markatron84 do you have to buy cod more than once now ? You believe bethesda rpgs dont have a community? So keeping starfield exclusive makes total financial sense ?
@Lup its a bethesda rpg, ms wouldve made millions releasing it on ps,so yes financially took in the context of the other posters comment, zero financial sense.
@Markatron84 you mean the same zero financial sense making starfield exclusive, those deals where only offered when there was objections made like I said ,UK objects to it based on the idea of a monopoly concerning cloud gaming,lo and behold ms makes a deal with ubisoft.
@BacklogBrad of course they care ,they where forced to make those deals regarding cod and cloud gaming,if nobody objected they would have gone ahead,without those deals being made.
@Balta666 fair enough ,but in my opinion, there's nothing in starfield that rivals the dark brotherhood quest line,or the thieves guild for that matter, best character in starfield is the dude locked up ,sorry cant remember his name,so much missed potential for evil doings.
@PsBoxSwitchOwner you really think larian would put it on game pass after during those leaks, microsoft classed it as a "second rate stadia rpg" phil had better get his wallet out, and get that plate of humble pie ready.
Phils always there....lurking in the audience,there's not been any controversy with starfield, there's those that believed it shouldve got goty or at least a nomination ,and then there's the normal people π
@OldGamer999 considering they have to develop for series s as well ,apart from a resolution boost for series x you won't see any difference, if this stays the same towards the end of this generation, and first party devs want to use the extra horsepower of the ps5 and series x to implement new gameplay ideas ,how on earth is the series x gonna compete if its being held back by the series s.
@Belkan and if game pass is the best value for you thats all that matters ,yeah the scalpers have struck again with the portal, Sony might voice concern over this on various platforms, but let's be honest ,they won't care,they've sold out their product, they will be pleased, game pass is good ,ps plus is good ,but like I said it varies from month to month.
@Jenkinss you don't like what people say ,thats the top and bottom of it ,I see no trolling ,there not saying xbox is bad in any way shape or form,some people believe the series s is a garbage console ,and is holding the series x back even die hard xbox fans say the same thing ,you have certain devs stating this exact fact ,are they trolling too.dont be so precious.
@Belkan you think the ps portal is garbage ,although I agree it isn't something I'd buy personally ,there's clearly a market for it as its sold out across the world,it isn't a console its just an extra,its not like they released it as a cheaper weaker alternative to the ps5, and then forced devs to make sure it ran on that system,regardless of whether it would cost them more time and money to do so,ps bought studios and built those studios up ,microsoft bought established ips that where multiplatform, thats the difference,they bought games not studios ,this will however change in the future but you can't get away from this fact here and now,whether you prefer ps plus or games pass that's subjective, and for myself personally it varies from month to month,but game pass isn't consistently better than ps plus.
@BBB more time and money to develop for a console with the smallest install base,it would probably cost them less to put it straight on gamepass and get that lump sum from ms.....hey wait a minuteπ
@Belkan its almost like you've never heard of ps plus ,both companies haven't done well this year with regards to games, Sony had spiderman 2 and a baseball game and microsoft had some games they bought ,a couple of rts that nobody on console will ever play and forza ,if it wasn't for a stellar 3rd party year ,things would've been very slim indeed.
@Jaxx420 I dunno mate ,I saw the leaked footage a while back and it looks like the ps5 and series x might struggle with that graphical fidelity, it was clearly running on a high end pc ,although rdr2 on ps4 and xbox one looked and still is stunning ,maybe ill be wrong.
Must be more expensive to make sure it runs ok on the s ,personally If I was a dev with limited resources, I'd miss out the xbox altogether until ms got rid of this parity clause,will be interesting to see how gta 6 runs on it, 460p most probably.
@K1LLEGAL you didn't upset me dont worry,and I really can't be bothered going into specifics,im tired π we both got comments removed so let's leave it at that ,wouldn't say we was arguing...more a discussion π
