@Markatron84 Chernobyl is the Russian spelling (but also the English spelling and also the most popular way to spell it) while Chornobyl is the Ukrainian spelling.
It’s the same city so it’s fine. And you can use whichever name you prefer (Chernobyl or Chornobyl). Still the same city.
Fun fact: that Ferris wheel in the background is in the nearby city called Pripyat or Pyrpiat (Russian and Ukrainian spellings). The Ferris wheel is in the Pripyat Amusement Park and it was scheduled to be open in May 1986 but then the Chernobyl disaster happened and the park was abandoned.
I remember when Nintendo did something similar like giving ambassadors a brick or something to punch through if they get excited. Seems similar to this.
Probably means Xbox showcase will be decent most likely
@Banjo- Why would they exclude Xbox? Sony will get marketing rights and stuff but even WB and NRS won’t exclude Xbox since I believe they’re American companies and Mortal Kombat has always been successful multiplatform.
Yeah I’m not buying this rumor. The Modern Warfare games never had Zombies mode in it that I recall and Infinity Ward is always the one doing the work for that.
@Valgore I think what they mean by not taking games away from other platforms is that they won't take away existing Bethesda games that are on Playstation and Nintendo from the digital store fronts.
Like for example, Elder Scrolls Online, Skyrim, older Wolfenstein games, Fallout 76 will remain on the Playstation Store.
Like wise, the first Outer Worlds will remain on the Playstation store.
@awp69 I don’t know how Sony paid it to keep it off Xbox when this game came to Switch as well. And the Switch is the console that JRPGs tend to sell well on.
@shoeses They won't take away existing Bethesda games from PS and Switch. So something like Skyrim, Wolfenstein 2, DOOM Eternal won't be removed from the PS and Switch stores.
Only future new Bethesda games will be Xbox only. Elder Scrolls 6 i think is a Xbox and PC only game.

Re: Xbox Studio Arkane Is Officially Making A Marvel's Blade Game

Re: Phil Spencer Visits Hi-Fi RUSH Xbox Studio Tango Gameworks
@fizban3332 where did you find that rumor? I was thinking they would be making The Evil Within 3 or something like that.
Re: Phil Spencer Visits Hi-Fi RUSH Xbox Studio Tango Gameworks
@purexbox you seem to have made a mistake. Tango Gameworks made The Evil Within series, not the Evil Dead series.
Re: Stalker 2 Developer Suffers From Fire In New Prague Offices
@UnusedBabyWipes yeah it’s LITERALLY hell for them. First they have to leave Ukraine and then a fire breaks out.

@Markatron84 it wasn’t a stupid question btw what you asked.

Regardless of my views on Turkey, this proves that the UK made no good points on why to block the merger
Re: Xbox Studio Reveals Inspirations Behind Steampunk RPG 'Clockwork Revolution'
I can see why people are having Bioshock vibes to this game though. Bioshock is of the steampunk genre.

Re: Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy Launches On Xbox In Early 2024
@UnusedBabyWipes wonder how much money MS gave to Capcom to get this trilogy onto Xbox?
Nevertheless it’s good to see it on Xbox.
Re: Starfield's Xbox File Size Is 125GB, According To Microsoft Store Page
No offense but I thought the file size would be a lot bigger.

Re: Mortal Kombat 1 Brings Its Reborn Universe To Xbox This September
@RaZieLDaNtE you mean Street Fighter 6? Street Fighter 5 came out already.
Re: Mortal Kombat 1 Brings Its Reborn Universe To Xbox This September
@Banjo- as in it has been announced for PS5?
It’s similarly worded here too. And on NintendoLife the same thing.
they only announce their respective platform for each site.
Re: Mortal Kombat 1 Brings Its Reborn Universe To Xbox This September
@Banjo- well according to NRS website, the Switch version is being developed by Shiver Entertainment and Saber Interactive.

Re: Hogwarts Legacy Looks Surprisingly Good On Xbox One
@Ralizah or they will cancel it like Midnight Suns
Re: Ukraine The Latest Nation To Pass Xbox's Activision Blizzard Acquisition
@KingPev lmao no. I have my own reasons to not like Ukrainian government.
Re: Ukraine The Latest Nation To Pass Xbox's Activision Blizzard Acquisition
@wiiware to be fair, a couple months ago Zelensky did a photoshoot for a magazine.
Not surprised tbh, he is a actor/comedian.
Re: Ukraine The Latest Nation To Pass Xbox's Activision Blizzard Acquisition
@ValentineMeikin well maybe but then again I don’t know what Russia will do
Re: Microsoft CEO: I've Never Been More Excited About Xbox's Pipeline Of Games
Microsoft should buy the developers behind the Stalker series. Might help them complete the game more better.

Re: Tango Gameworks Announces 'Hi-Fi RUSH', Available Today On Xbox Game Pass
@shoeses They won't take away existing Bethesda games from PS and Switch. So something like Skyrim, Wolfenstein 2, DOOM Eternal won't be removed from the PS and Switch stores.

Re: Talking Point: Do You Think Microsoft Will Be Able To Acquire Activision Blizzard?
@UnusedBabyWipes Nintendo and Valve signed the contract which means they support the deal (Activision-Microsoft) probably
Re: Talking Point: Do You Think Microsoft Will Be Able To Acquire Activision Blizzard?
I think it could go through. Nintendo and Valve signing the 10 year deal with Microsoft probably means they support the Microsoft-Activision deal.
Also I think maybe the regulators will be somewhat satisfied with this.
Re: Stalker 2's Exclusion Zone Looks Incredibly Creepy In New Screenshots
It is Chernobyl so of course it will be dark
Re: PlatinumGames Explains Why Its New Releases Never Come To Xbox Anymore
@Nighto4 Astral Chain will not come to other consoles or PC. The IP is now owned by Nintendo. They changed copyright from PG to Nintendo I believe
