I expect going forward, that most third-party live service games will want to arrive on Game Pass day one, so as to secure a good head start and increase and sustain their player base early on.
Giga Wing only released on Dreamcast. Progear, Carrier Air Wing, 19XX and 1944 are releasing for the first time on consoles. Really, this is worth it for the shmups alone.
Also, this will be my fifth version of Final Fight. 😅
@UltimateOtaku91 It's not MS's fault that Sony can't go toe to toe with them. Paying for timed exclusive games to appear on your platform is one thing; paying for games to not appear on a competitor's platform is quite another.
Finally, paying a developer to dumb down the competitor's version is just vile. This is not moving the industry forward, but running it into the ground. This is anti-consumer in every sense of the word. If "this is the best Sony can do at the moment", after how succesful the PS4 was, then maybe they're not as good as people have made them out to be.
@clvr Seriously? Is DOOM now a lesser experience to you because of an innocuous, free-to-play mobile game? If two bad movies skew your perception of the game that pioneered and popularized the FPS genre, you're not much of an "enthusiast". 😒
"In order to perfectly replicate the online system used from the past, not only would it require a great deal of time and money, it would also place limitations on the platforms we could release it on."
What the hell is he talking about? What current platform lacks online connectivity?
@SegataSanshiro
I agree with everything you said and I still think PlayStation fans have the right to feel the way they do. Sony has to find a way to offer them more value.
I'm weary of going back to SoT. I plan on spending a weekend "being more pirate", next thing you know, it's already been two weeks since I've played anything else. 😨
@SegataSanshiro Still, no reason for Sony not to make this a free PS Plus game. I think what PlayStation fans are really upset about is MLB The Show being $70 on their platform while it's "free" someplace else.
@themightyant
The thing is, a VR version of Minecraft can only be released on platforms that support VR. Hence, it's not available on Xbox. Xbox gamers understand this. MLB The Show being "free" on Game Pass and $70 on PS5 might not seem reasonable to PlayStation fans.

That's a good one. Also, how about Capcom shows Darkstalkers some love, huh?

Re: Microsoft Store Lists Dragon Quest Builders 2 For Xbox And Game Pass
@dennisforss
I'd certainly hope so. I saw the DF analysis video and was appalled by the performance on Switch. Was it ever patched?
Re: Microsoft Store Lists Dragon Quest Builders 2 For Xbox And Game Pass
Those Japan trips Phil takes keep paying dividends. I hope Heroes gets ported to Xbox, too.

Indeed. 😭
Re: Video: New NieR Replicant Trailer Highlights Tons Of New Features
What @SegataSanshiro said. 🤭
Also, I'm very fond of additional content, but I hope it's already included. I don't want to have to buy a 'Complete Edition' down the road.

I still think that PEGI rating for an Xbox One version is a typo. I mean, c'mon! 😂
Re: Random: This Official Halo And Mario Artwork Is The Crossover We Didn't Know We Needed
Again, what @blinx01 said. Well, sorta. 😏
Re: Rumour: Is The Switch On Phil Spencer's Shelf Teasing An Xbox Collab With Nintendo?
What @blinx01 said. I mean, what native Series X|S games do you fellas think the Switch (or Switch Pro, while we're at it) will be able to run? 🤣
Re: Talking Point: Final Fantasy VII Remake's Exclusivity Window Is Up, Will We Hear Anything?

I'll see your Super Mario Bros. movie and raise you 1994's Double Dragon. 😎
Re: Industry Reporter Claims Fable, Perfect Dark & Everwild Are 'So Far Away'
@TheFrenchiestFry
Well, I for one can't seem to find the physical release. I found this, though:
https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2020/11/10/gears-5-relaunches-on-xbox-series-xs-and-drops-bombs-with-wwes-batista-as-marcus/amp/
"Gears 5 has been upgraded and optimized with Xbox Series X|S Optimizations, available free-of-charge in today’s Smart Delivery update."
So not like Spider-Man Remastered. 😏
Re: Industry Reporter Claims Fable, Perfect Dark & Everwild Are 'So Far Away'
@TheFrenchiestFry
Maybe you're thinking Gears Tactics? Or the Hivebusters DLC? Gears 5 launched September 6, 2019.
Re: Xbox And Bethesda Mobile Developer Alpha Dog Working On New DOOM Game

Very well. As for Zelda, do you remember that Zelda game for the Philips CD-i? DOOM will be fine, too.

Re: Rumour: Hideo Kojima In Talks With Microsoft About Publishing His Next Game
@SegataSanshiro
Sony's worst fear is losing Europe. Japan is Nintendoland and NA, like you said, will become Xbox country one again.
