Wolfenstein, Doom, and COD are all a good bet to release on PlayStation, they always have and Microsoft is going to make more money selling these games on PS than holding them to try to sell Xbox hardware.
Fable, Gears, and ES6 I expect will be exclusive.
These decisions, what games stay exclusive and what go, will be deciding factors of the health of the Xbox brand next generation. They will keep releasing Xbox hardware, that would be brand suicide. It is very i...
All will likely be sold out this holiday and you’ll pay up to double if you want it. Typical Sony never enough hardware or purposely shorting the market, whichever it is causing shortages I see no end especially around the holidays.
They should hire Sean Murray and Hello Games crew to make DLC for Starfield because No Mans playing it anymore.
Maybe not, but if Halo was amazing and Starfield was delayed until a few weeks ago and launched to better reviews, now you might have something.
Halo and Starfield were undercooked and Redfall was half baked, if all three were delayed and actually good it would be a night and day difference in the perception of Xbox right now.
Let’s be real, this is the media spinning all the acquisitions and liquidations of said developers and spinning it to make M$ the villain.
This was bound to happen, a bigger slice of pie and cut costs, when the games come they stand to make more and that’s their agenda—it was the writing on the wall when the sales went through and legally all those who approved the sale and mergers knew this would happen.
Snowflakes need to realize business is ugly and yo...
All is forgotten if you win the game. Show us what’s coming , hype the hell out of all those games on the horizon, and make sure the next big release on Xbox is actually ready to ship and most of these hate articles will go away
They spent more money on acquiring huge studios and IP than small countries gdp just to focus on small indie games?
I’m hoping this is all rumors, it seems like the internet is steering their narrative, these guys should probably have a show and hype their shit like tonight because the silence is deafening.
I’d prefer they release huge games that are polished and finished as they’ve spent billions on these studios. Yeah we’re gonna get the same shit we’ve...
They want you to pay them forever and own nothing. They don’t even want to sell you the console anymore, that costs them money to make it and ship it. They’d really prefer if you just subscribe to Gamepass, like sheep being guided to eat the same dinner as everyone else, click on the same ad, and play the same games you’ve been playing for decades.
Small studios make small games, pretty sure they forgot to buy small indie studios. They only bought up huge ones with old IP that was popular in the 90’s.
Phil strikes me as a guy who still loves the 80’s and 90’s. Like he has an old Mustang convertible and listens to 80’s rock in it while wearing his leather jackets. These guys only know how to think big, lol.
Halo, Redfall, Starfield—they take EVERY game out of the oven too early.
They need to hire someone to oversee quality and let games get polished instead of releasing in Beta on Gamepass. They haven’t learned bc they now want to fast track games.
Pretty clear to see no actual work was getting done at these studios while the sales were being finalized. I think the public is starting to see all the M$ acquisitions aren’t going to pay off until next generati...
Bethesda is the only studio to release anything noteworthy on Xbox. Take Bethesda out and they have nothing this Gen. Hifi Rush and Starfield are probably their two biggest hits.
They bought up Park Place, Boardwalk, and all the Railroads, now people are angry as the crooked banker controls the board.
Nothing good ever happens when you let a corporation have complete control, annd don’t get it twisted, this is as close to a Monopoly of an industry I’ve ever seen. M$ are going to cut cut cut costs to maximize profits, they don’t care about what IP you want to play. They only care about which one will make the most money and cost the least to make.
Crazy that fans wanted the Zenimax/Activision sale to go through. People were rooting for it and Xbox fans were excited. This is the Fallout, pun intended; of course there is position redundancy when you own so many studios.
The sad truth is M$ buying up the industry was the start of fewer people developing more games. This is how they make money people, lowering costs while owning more of the pie.
Gta6 is enough to warrant a purchase, usually get the invite to direct order through Sony but my ps plus has lapsed not holding my breath on that happening. I might re-subscribe just to be sure lol, these pro consoles like everything Sony niche will be near impossible to purchase for first 8 months at least. Especially with a holiday release it is scalpers delight.
My dream was DreamsVR and creating landscapes, characters, and sculptures using that amazing toolbox in vr, that would have been something imo.
No, every Xbox game that releases is in Beta but it’s okay bc Gamepass. After a year of patches the game officially launches, Starfield just came out of Beta. I’ll buy Xbox at the end of the generation and all the games will finally be “complete” and a fraction of the price.
I will buy one this generation as I’m a gaming junkie, still waiting on the games
Road Rash was crack on the 3DO. I remember many hours playing Slam n Jam with friends, this game was also not possible on 16 bit and a loose arcade port of Run n Gun. Amazing game.
Also, Starfield and Return Fire were amazing too. They should release any of these games instead of whatever those games are in this article lol.
I went from playing Mortal Kombat, Starship Heroes and Earthworm Jim on Genesis to that amazing version of Road Rash, Night Trap, and Sewer Shark. The game that came with the 3DO, Crash and Burn, was also super underrated. It had a better version of Madden than the 16 but consoles and a superior FIFA too that made the 3DO the envy of all my friends back then. I still have it! Neo Geo was the rich kid console, I sold my Genesis and Sega CD to pay for the 3DO and didn’t regret it one bit. Then ...
Seems like they are planning to win next gen. All the acquisitions were this generation and nobody except Xbox fans expect games from the acquisitions any time soon.
I’m sure Microsoft can afford to lose money on the short term, pretty sure they do risk assessment when acquiring many companies and spending billions, they’ll be fine lol.
