First off, A lot of gamers bought Diablo 4 on digital because they got to play it 4 days early. FF16 did not have any digital advantage over physical. You can't use that as an excuse here.
It doesn't matter. It still did not sell well. First, Playstation gamers prefer to buy boxed games. Second, It being 74% lower than 15 sales is bad. That is a very sharp difference. There is no spin on this to make this look good. When they release the digital sales numbers, we get our confirmation.
I made a comment a month or two ago saying that Square limiting its IP to one platform is going to hurt the growth of the FF brand. Now look.
I really wish they release the MGS remake they did for the Gamecube. I really want to play that version.
We are still here. They raised the prices in Europe to match Sony's pricehike in the region. They also raised the price of Gamepass to match PSPremium service which is currently $16.99. Do you see what I'm pointing out here? MS simply followed the pricing structure that Sony created.
This is facts. ID still hasn't revealed the game they are working on. Xbox is good for the rest of this gen. The whole ''Xbox has no games'' is officially dying in September when Starfield releases.
What are the odds. This is definitely not going to go in FTC favor.
I really wished MS bought Crystal Dynamics. I hate that they're owned by this company. They clearly don't know what they are doing.
This is why guest characters shouldn't be on the base roster. Im sure Ezio and the whole Assassin's Creed stuff license expired and that is why it is being removed. The same thing is probably going to happen to Soul Calibur 6 in 10 years.
Not really. Phil Spencer said that He had the Best engineers at Xbox to help with the optimization for Xbox. I definitely see 60fps for both consoles.
They were closely associated with Playstation. Their studio office literally has art of PS controllers on their wall. Please stop trying to downplay their association with Playstation
Redfall is the 12th most popular game on Xbox as of this moment. It is the 2nd most played game on gamepass as of this moment. This game has been a hit on gamepass. The reviews might not be great but player engagement is high.
Fix the title. This game did not sell 1 million copies. It has been played by more than 1 million players since its launch. There is a difference. You have to remember the game launched for free on PSplus's essistial tier.
First off, MS is horrible when it comes to advertising. TV ads are only reserved for their major releases like Starfield. Redfall is not a major release. Now I have seen several ads for this on Tiktok and it is being advertised on the Xbox dashboard. MS mainly relies on Game Pass and word of mouth to advertise its smaller games.
This isn't true. Xbox needs to have an identity again. 360 was known as the system with the best online experience and first person shooters. Xbox needs to do that again. I do think MS needs to focus on Western RPGS. They have acquired so many studios that specialize in that genre. Xbox can be the new home for that. MS also has investments in A.i. I think combing A.i into the Next Xbox and a focus on WRPG would really give Xbox that identity again.
Very interesting. A lot of good questions were asked. The internal review team at Xbox needs to be reevaluated. Im not sure how this game tested positively internally. Im glad to see Engineers from The Coalition, Rare and more came in to help the moment they learned about the 60 FPS issues. This shows how connected Xbox studios is and this is a really good sign for the future. Phil also said the Roadmap is coming together, games are coming every quarter and I believe him. I think going forwar...
The test is only available through Steam. No consoles? So disappointing.
Phil really needs to stop with this hands off approach. Xbox needs to have reps going around and making sure their studio has quality control. I remember when Yoshida visted Santa Monica less then a year before GOW(2018) launched and said he hated the combat. They reworked it in less than a year and we got the great combat system we have today.
