@Solidchief well yeah I know that I just find it funny how Phil Spencer acts like he hates exclusives & wants to release everything on every platform possible but then does the exact opposite
Hold on a minute tango Gameworks first game after being acquired is exclusive to Xbox ? What happened to not wanting to take away games from other platforms ... The hypocrisy 🤣🤣
@Dezzy70 that would be far too confusing , the naming is already confusing but then to have 2 series X one with a disk drive & one without & then the series S aswell 😂
Think the only thing I would be interested in would be a gears of war remaster /remake or gears 6 outside of more backwards compatible games or an old IP getting revived like midtown madness or project Gotham racing
@S1ayeR74 'apart from Bungie all of Sonys studios make PS exclusive games, and then another seems to port them to PC over a year later.' none of those games except destiny were ever multiplatform to begin with you could make an argument about Spider-Man but marvel approached Microsoft before insomniac so if they hadn't declined it would've been exclusive anyway just to Xbox instead of playstation
@S1ayeR74 'purely because they want to buy a third party studio, exactly the same actions Sony takes.' I'm sorry but Sony doesnt buy huge publishers like activision , sure they bought bungie but they've only been an independent publisher for a few years & have been owned by both Microsoft & Activision before that & have a grand total of 1 IP 😂
@Green-Bandit it will have to be a new game they can't just take infinite which was made using slipspace engine & switch it to unreal they'd have to completely remake the game using unreal
@cburg the lol after my comments is precisely so they aren't perceived as 'passive agressive' & anyone would do a better job than Phil Spencer at this point , he's all talk & no action
@Dezzy70 I doubt there will be any campaign expansions the engine infinite uses is crap so they'll be switching to unreal engine as soon as they can which will mean a new game
@JayJ they're acquiring Activision & getting another 10,000 (I'm guessing I don't actually know the number) employees not a good look when they're saying they had to cut the workforce by 1000 people while simultaneously saying they can't wait for another 10,000 people to join the company lol
@Rafie I don't know if Microsoft actually did pay the devs to make the 'next gen' version (let's be honest there's not much of a differen lol) exclusive to Xbox but if they did its very hypocritical of some users on this site not to call them out on it because you know they'd crucify Sony under the same circumstances 😂
@xMightyMatt14x wouldn't get excited about where the story's going I felt that way at the end of 5 & infinite threw the plot of 4 & 5 down the toilet lol
Obviously 343 as the developer f***** up massively but as the head of Xbox game studios Phil Spencer should share alot of the blame god knows he gets credited enough anytime there's good news for Xbox
@Kaloudz I agree , like I really appreciate capcom not charging 'next gen'' for resident evil 4 remake even though they could (I'd buy it at that price because I love resident evil lol)
@Kaloudz that's only provided you're subscribed to game pass though , I don't think they knocked MW2 or Need for Speed Unbound down for being £70 at launch & dead space remake comes out in a few days & that's £70 at launch aswell will it get knocked down for not being day one gamepass
@UltimateOtaku91 along with abit of extra cut content 🤞🏻I think gears ultimate got an extra chapter that the main game didn't have , could've just been an add on from the 360 version though
@K1LLEGAL I'm just not into those tactical point & click type games , didn't like judgement either because it was too different from the main games loved the rest of them though lol
@GamingFan4Lyf well the dualshock / dualsense is compatible with pc / android & IOS devices can use them on my switch aswell with an 8bitdo adapter so I don't see why this would be different
@IOI if the more expensive bundled version becomes the only way to get a series X then it's a sly way of raising the price of getting the console without the backlash lol
@Blessed_Koz it's never been fully remade just some hd textures , the controls on modern consoles for the original are terrible the aiming is absolutely horrendous that's why the best version is still the Wii version with motion controls , I love resident evil so I'm excited to get stuck into this remake I would've preferred a code Veronica remake first though
@Hypnotoad107 well the majority of people don't know about the conversion method to get it cheaper I'm sure if everyone was doing it Microsoft would've closed that loophole by now
@Grumblevolcano yeah having to pay for multiplayer & then being forced to watch ads on top would really boil my piss especially when all Microsofts games go to pc day one with no charge for multiplayer in games that have it

Re: Tango Gameworks Announces 'Hi-Fi RUSH', Available Today On Xbox Game Pass
@Solidchief well yeah I know that I just find it funny how Phil Spencer acts like he hates exclusives & wants to release everything on every platform possible but then does the exact opposite
Re: Tango Gameworks Announces 'Hi-Fi RUSH', Available Today On Xbox Game Pass
@Fenbops no but it would've been multiplatform had Microsoft not acquired them I think that's pretty obvious
Re: Tango Gameworks Announces 'Hi-Fi RUSH', Available Today On Xbox Game Pass
@PringleMuffin I meant console exclusive & it's not on Nintendo either...

Re: Soapbox: January's Developer_Direct Could Be The Start Of Something Big For Xbox
@Sebatrox I think they probably called it developer_direct to keep expectations in check it sounds like it will be alot if talking from the devs
Re: Soapbox: January's Developer_Direct Could Be The Start Of Something Big For Xbox
If this isn't big & has stuff I care about then like dezzy says Xbox will be 100% dead to me

Re: Phil Spencer Responds To Xbox Layoffs, Calls It A 'Difficult Moment In Time' For Microsoft
@Savage_Joe nah then they'd have less time to work on doom / quake Microsoft should just sell the IP back to bungie

Re: Xbox Is Now The Best Way To Play Persona 3 And Persona 4 On Console
@Banjo- if it was the other way around you'd be crying saying Sony must have paid the devs to get a better version 🤣

Why's 'xbox game pass day one' a pro on a review of a game being part of a subscription service doesn't change the quality of the game 😂
