Article: DC and Xbox, Would it work?

Will writes: "With all the hype surrounding the releases of Spiderman on Playstation, bundled with the few rumours I’ve noticed regarding a possible DC exclusive for the Xbox. It got me to thinking, could Microsoft partner with DC to take on Sony and Marvel and if so what characters could carry a game?"

“It got me to thinking, could Microsoft partner with DC to take on Sony and Marvel and if so what characters could carry a game?”

No that can’t happen on so many levels.

- With the exception of Telltale Games, Warner Bros Interactive publishes all DC related games these days, and they don’t do exclusive games. That’s in contrast to the Marvel license that’s available to any publisher willing to apply for it.

- Take on Marvel how? Sony is only making this Spider-Man game which could turn into a series. Every other Marvel game is still arriving on Xbox One next year, so it’s not like Microsoft has to feel that threatened to compete with a licensing deal of their own.

- Warner Bros Interactive in general seems to have an issue making standalone AAA games featuring DC characters that aren’t related to Batman. Most of the DC games they do publish are crossovers or star Batman, with the exception of Wolf Among Us but that’s published by Telltale. If they do make such a title, it’s doubtful they’d gamble on it being an Xbox exclusive. Only reason this Spider-Man game exists is because Marvel was impressed by Sony’s first party output and wanted a game of their own to get a similar treatment. WBI in comparison has no reason to want Microsoft to handle one of their properties, especially when looking at their current output thus far this year.

Why waste an opinion on this? It wouldn't happen this Gen anyway.

Anyone remember this?

Yeah. They COULD have had a marvel game a long time ago. But canceled it just like True Fantasy Live Online.

Just be happy that Sony let go of Sony Online Entertainment/ Daybreak Game Company and DC Online is on there and let it go. What's also funny is that DC online is a free to play game that requires xbox live and doesn't cross play with PC like it does on PS3,PS4 and PC. Shouldn't free to play be free? Shouldn't xbox fans speak up about this cross play title that's been on there for months?

Want a super hero game now? Go out and buy Spider-Man. Oh. You may need a PS4 to go with it though.

DC is already getting their asses kicked with the movies. They aren't going to partner with MS exclusively. Then again, maybe they would since they have zero direction at the top.

jairusmonillas2729d ago (Edited 2729d ago )

No one would partner with a console who keeps on losing. see what happened to how Fortnite completely destroyed Xbox console exclusive PUBG. lol

Tross2729d ago

This isn't an issue of DC vs Marvel though, and there are many multiplat Marvel titles too. Also, I'm pretty sure WB will stick to multiplats especially given how much larger the PS4 install base is. This is a case of Sony securing yet another great exclusive that will more than likely turn into a series. This is a case of MS not putting their money into what actually matters this gen, while Sony is, which is games, and also selecting the right studios to make those games.

Best Gaming CPUs 2026: AMD Ryzen 7 7700X vs 7800X3D vs 9700X vs 9800X3D vs 9850X3D

AMD’s Ryzen 7000X3D and 9000X3D processors are by far the best gaming CPUs on the market. They’re affordable, power-efficient, and don’t require expensive AIO cooling solutions. I recently tested several of AMD’s midrange Ryzen 7000 and 9000 chips, including the 7950X, 7800X3D, 9700X, 9800X3D, and 9850X3D.

Marathon hands-on preview | Notebookcheck

Darryl Linington from Notebookcheck.net writes: "Early hands-on time with Marathon, spanning roughly 10 hours, points to a distinctive extraction shooter with strong shell-based class design, layered faction progression, surreal presentation, and a dense UI that still needs smoothing out."

Almost 16,000 reviews on Steam currently has the game sitting on a very positive 90% Not sure if it has the player numbers but those who are playing seem to be enjoying themselves.

Putte22h ago

And as of now a 5.1 user score on metacritic. Really bad.

LiViNgLeGaCY20h ago

On Steam, you have to have bought the game, in order to play. On metacritic, ANYONE can review it. I'll leave it for you to decide which one matters more.

MrNinosan19h ago

Trolls on Metacritic, must be a new thing or you were born yesterday

The game is really really bad. So generic boring and lifeless. UI is terrible. Bad and slow gameplay. Not sure who gives the go ahead for these games. Insane all that money companies just throw away for no reason. Nobody a asking for these games

LiViNgLeGaCY20h ago

You haven't played it. That much is apparent from your comment. Gameplay is FAR from slow and boring. I do agree the UI definitely needs to be re-worked. But then again, you're just repeating a complaint you're reading about, not actually experiencing.

MrNinosan19h ago

Can you show any proof you've actually played it, by sharing your PSN ID or Steam profile? Nah, guessed as much.

Outside_ofthe_Box19h ago

Gunplay is the best thing about the game. To call it bad is wrong. Just because it isn't a twitch shooter doesn't mean it's slow, not everything has to play the same. Everything else is generic I agree.

Flenter17h ago

Yes I am. But tell me ,with goty games do you play? Have you even played Marathon? If not ...S T F U!!
So sick and tired of the hate BS 🤮🤮

Nintendo Suing U.S. Government Over Tariffs

Nintendo filed a lawsuit in the United States Court of International Trade.

Nintendo of America is suing the United States government over the sweeping tariffs President Donald Trump put in place last year, according to a complaint filed Friday in the U.S. Court of International Trade and obtained by Aftermath.

Well dayum lol. Old agent orange pissing off every industry and nation.

The fact that you have ANY disagrees will forever baffle me. And to the (apparent) MAGA contingent that exists on this website, enjoy your 8-9 dollar gas.

AuraAbjure1d 9h ago (Edited 1d 9h ago )

Yes, they had better be pissed after Trump told them the way they rip off the USA is over.

EveryPlatformGamer2d ago

LOL I read this on gaff, will they refund the money back to the gamers? highly unlikely. Didn't they just raise prices and pass it onto the gamers? Only Nintendo would send out the Ninjas to the US government.

-Foxtrot2d ago

That’s what I was thinking, imagine them winning hypothetically, getting a s**t load of money back which they would have lost if they hadn’t raised their prices and it’s business as normal.

It would just mean people paid more for no reason since they got the money back anyway.

Outside_ofthe_Box1d 20h ago (Edited 1d 20h ago )

A lot of companies partially passed the cost to consumers instead of all of it. They would still have to at least pay that back to gamers, but we know that won't happen. What's also sad is that prices won't come back down after the initial hike caused by tariffs.

People didn't understand the full repercussions of tariffs. That alone should have cost him the presidency if people knew it was a permanent price hike for consumers

Inverno2d ago

The people should sue these companies for having to over pay cause of these tariffs.

Eonjay2d ago

Naw they should sue the government for forcing the tax to begin with. No one reasonably expects these companies to absorb the taxes. Many smaller companies tried and were shut down or faced to increase prices to try to maintain their business. The tariffs effect everyone.

Inverno17h ago

I meant it mostly as a joke cause we all know the costs of these tariffs were passed onto the consumer. But it's seems no matter how vocal we are here in the states our "representatives" don't seem to care enough to represent us. And things are about to get worse.

Killer2020UK1d 3h ago

The companies were doing what the law required then to do, the tariffs however were illegally implemented. Usually it's criminals we punish, you seem to have different ideas 🤷‍♂️
