Halo on PS5 isn’t really shocking, but fans could be right to bemoan the death of Xbox exclusives

First-party games often risk what others can’t, so what kind of games will Xbox produce as a multiplatform company?

I saw one Xbox guy literally quit Xbox and cancel his own Xbox YouTube channel.

Exclusivity isn't a big deal imo. We basically get games years later. If you cant wait then get the games that are on that system. Microsoft are selling years old games at same or higher prices than they launched at and PS guys feeling like they won something. PS im a PS only gamer

Well if we're being honest. As consumers we allowed these companies to make us feel brand loyalty. As a gamer we should actually welcome open platforms. I never understood this mentality. I would hate if someone told me a movie only played on a certain device. Idk that's just me. I know fan boys like to war. Don't get me wrong I like to poke the bear time to time but ms is only a company. They only care about $. Not me. Same as sony/nin

I think all gaming fans should 'bemoan' the death of exclusives and not look forward to it as something that should happen to all games. It's not about loyalty to specific platforms (at least for me) but more to do with what I believe will lead to a degradation of innovative games and a proliferation of bare-minimum game development.

Traditionally, exclusively-developed games took advantage of the specific hardware's capabilities that really made some games shine above others. Not too many third-party developers go that extra mile to make their games special IMO. Rockstar immediately stands out as an exceptional third-party developer that consistently delivered quality multiplatform titles but, unfortunately, they are not the norm in this industry. But I find it hard to think they we would have gotten many of the classic titles that we have played over the years if they were not exclusively first-party developed titles. That's primarily because those devs could pour all of their design into making the game great on that one platform rather than trying to develop it for all platforms.

Unfortunately, I can't see Xbox in their current form bringing any more innovation to their new IPs (if they ever do make new IPs going forward). I'll be happy to admit I was wrong if they prove me wrong in the future. I just want to continue to enjoy gaming as I have ever since I was a kid.

Just my 2 cents...

I believe the hardware's specific capabilities are a thing of the past except for the switch. PS removed pressure sensitive buttons. They have the touch pad but who really wants to take their fingers off the stick for that? VR has lost support as well. Systems now are about power. The main goal should be to make development faster and cheaper. Generation lifecycle should be longer to allow this. Studios need time to innovate in terms of gameplay mechanics but I guess that too is an issue as we have basically done everything at this point. The ps2 era will never return.
