@kmtrain83 explain where you can play pc native games and xbox console native games or playstaion console native games in the same box? You can play pc versions of those games but that is not the console game, it not the exact same thing. It's like saying to someone I got my old record vinyl sitting here and it came with a digital download code, so therefore i am playing my vinyl record on my phone.
So if rumours they might scrap future day one releases into ganepass, and the absolute necessity to scrap a base rate multiplayer tax payment with this being open platform. What is going to happen to gamepass? Would people still subscribe based on the above. Honest answers, not fan boy loyalism.
I will be honest as Sony fan boy. I would be conflicted with that choice. I dont do multiplayer in the common sense, I prefer solo playing, but games like destiny and division cover that itch, but they need the online tax, so to me that would be a great saving whilst still being able to play them games. However on the other hand, losing access to the back catalogue of games gained through the ps plus service would mean I still subscribe to that service to play those games.
I am trying to work out what part of this is a console, they mention console pc hybrid? Are they going to have the equivalent of a series x along with pc. Therefore having the option to play either version? At that point, who would want to play series x version compared to the pc version in same box. Hell, there is not a major want by the wider gaming population currently for series x and this is when it should be at its prime. I cant see them creating a new console and having the pc in the same box. It makes absolutely no sense and is just added cost.
If it doesn't release on PlayStation, then who is going to buy this game. If Xbox dont change their stance on Day 1 Gamepass games then, what percentage of Xbox gamers are going to buy Halo 1 for a third time, if they can just get it on subscription they have already paid for. Xbox gamers who are not subscription based, are not going to purchase Gamepass for this game alone, and if they are not already subscribers, then they are hardly going to pay day one for a Halo game they haven't already purchased previously. This game was built for playstaion, same as Gears was. I cant think many Xbox gamers had these particular remasters in mind
Haven't gone through all of the comments here, so not sure if anyone else picked up. Everyone is saying this great for free online, but if this thing is backwards compatible with previous xbox consoles, then you will be paying for multilayer to play your library of games. It sounds like this is the only way it can tackle backwards compatibility, rather than the play anywhere route. I am not xbot person myself, so would that mean you would have to purchase both console (for multiplayer) and PC gamepass?
