@IronMan30 Same here. I think this art style is dreadful and kind of lazy. Just hurts my eyes to look at. And I LOVE Dead Cells! Kind of wish they just kept that art style. I'm sure the combat will be good, might grab eventually on a deep discount.
@alexcarv_guardiang3 @DJKingaling Wow if they took ID@Xbox money and then dumped releasing it on Xbox, that some serious unethical practice. They should pay it back if they aren't porting. You'd think Microsoft would have that in the deal though.
Personally, it looks like just another generic souls-like with nothing interesting hooking me. Much more interesting ones like Lies of Pi I need to get into. So, not a real loss for me.
Deliver us the Moon was a good game on Game Pass and looked really good. Was hoping Mars would end up on there, though I've heard it wasn't as good but still decent. I do think people are getting a little burnt out on walking sims though.
This is Awesome! Was always so annoying how many games didn't have touch controls. Especially slow-paced games that could've totally had it no problem. I can finally play Sea of Stars on my phone with touch controls!
@TJ81 Good point on that. I think most of us are getting options on both ends that we don't really want. This is the rematch nobody wants. But yeah, none of us are likely to win each other over on a gaming site. We've become very galvanized. But hey, screw those Sony guys right?
I feel like only the game reporting industry (made up of mostly non-gamers) is freaking out about all this. Like they are trying their best to gin me up... Seems like a lot of nothingburgers being delivered.
@PsBoxSwitchOwner Very different situation tho. That's a collector's thing with physical copies of games that are already on Xbox. Not the same.
@mousieone you do understand audiences and Japan as a factor too right? A Japanese game on a Japanese console.
A perfect example would be a western game.
@mousieone Source? And if it wasn't on Game Pass you think that would be the sales numbers? Kind of a disingenuous example. And collections of already made games never sell as well as new games because many already played them. Also, they aren't that expensive to "develop" and port.
And here I thought devs would want their games on as many platforms as possible to make more money. Why is porting so hard for them when these games are made for pc and aren't big AAA level games. You can't convince me that you would lose money by porting to Xbox even if you aren't on Game Pass. If your game is even halfway decent, the cost of porting cannot be more than the sales you'd get. I just think a lot of this is posturing for financial incentives by the devs here.
@papafrezz81 we are moving in the wrong direction with this pandering. I don't care about you telling me your identities. Having to slap all these labels on ourselves is part of the problem.
@Markatron84 Here's a novel idea, how bout not give anyone special treatment? Shouldn't that be the end goal, or do we just want to keep the pendulum swinging? This isn't equality...
@Widey85 Sony always tries to trick people into thinking third party games are exclusive... Sleezy marketing, just show a game trailer with PS watermark and end with the "Playstation" phrase...
@InterceptorAlpha Bummer, you can buy Steam games, play it for up to 2 hours, review it, and still get refunded afterwards. Guess you didn't think of that one now did ya?
People love to "destroy" things for not living up to the hype. Everything Bethesda releases from here on will get review bombed for the foreseeable future.
@ZuneTattooGuy It won from just about every platform but the game awards. And even then, it won awards there. But keep rattling that saber. It can be your opinion that Deathloop wasn't good but referring to it as a "questionable" game isn't going to win you many followers. Guessing you hated Dishonored too? Blade is a character that could totally fit that stealth/action play style.
A bland Ubisoft Open World game?!?! nO wAy?!?!??!?!?!@#!@#$ SMH Ubisoft seriously thinks they can just copy paste the same crap and slap new paint on it. Stop buying this junk!
Marvel fatigue, Game won't be out til 2025 or even 26, Exclusivity is still being negotiated, Don't want to toot their own horns early given the bad taste in people's mouths from RedFall (even though a different dev studio, people aren't smart enough to determine the difference given both say from "Arkane"). There are logical reasons.

Re: Xbox Indie Developer Shares His Concerns Following This Week's Rumours
@Kevw2006 You are equating high end games with low end indie games. Big difference. These are games that could work on a 360 no problem.
