Doom the dark ages is coming day one on PS5.
Indiana Jones spring 2025
these games aren't released yet, and they already have a release date/window for ps5, and you are stuck on 1 game that hasn't been ported yet.
how many other xbox games will release day & date on PS5?

Sony probably offered for exclusivity around the time game was announced, I don't think this happened recently. This story is just coming out because game is releasing soon and the game needs to be in the news.

Sony probably wanted timed exclusivity when they considered Xbox to be a competitor.

Not enough console sales

Prioritizing game pass

With XGP everywhere, what makes you think a new console will do for the Xbox brand?
I think they need to ditch GP or only allow for old games and make gamers buy games. Otherwise the devs/publishers will not care about xbox and will still develop around PS5.

What games do you prefer PS shows at this rumored state of play?

Why are these game moving to Ultimate tier? Aren't these considered old games?

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 (possible multiplayer?)
Starfield (don't get this one)
Diablo 4 (possible multiplayer?)
Forza Motorsport (don't get this one)
MLB: The Show 24 (don't get this one)
Octopath Traveler 2 (game released in 23, released on game pass in 24)

neat

Additional to my comment above, the PS5 Pro dimensions are same as og ps5 in height and width similar to ps5 slim. Taking the stand out may allow them to ship more PS5 pro.

"No, I didn't. First of all. If they had just included the stand in the box you''d save on all that extra packaging and shipping."
I never said anything about paying for the stand or including in the box, I only advised the cost you are missing. Is the box for ps5 smaller than the og ps5? if yes, than they can ship more ps5 and meet demand at a greater speed.

"But they didn't want to include it, because they want to sell it separat...

game devs aren't being let go.

“As part of aligning our post-acquisition team structure and managing our business, we have made the decision to eliminate approximately 650 roles across Microsoft Gaming—mostly corporate and supporting functions—to organize our business for long term success.”

this is what you forgot to add in.
cost of raw materials
transportation of raw materials to factory,
transportation of finished product to destination country
customs duty in destination country
warehouse storage at destination country
transport to retail warehouse
retail transport to retail store
& also shipping to direct customer

1. If FTC is involved than wouldn't Sony have to declare this already, why keep it a secret?
2. If Sony was involved with marketing, wouldn't Sony have told them to keep this in the oven for another 6 months and iron things out. Plus Sony would have also funded another 6 months of development so game runs well on PS5.

"I have no idea. Just like I have no idea of when, where or how Sony signed a deal with Shift Up to prevent Stellar Blade from ever c...

IGN's source is Pual Tassi & Forbes, IGN hasn't independently verified this claim. Wouldn't IGN say our source inside Game Science if they verified the claim? Also I believe this is a circle of articles all linking to Paul Tassi.

@Obscure
1. If Sony had any sort of exclusivity, Sony would have done a state of play for the game at the least. I don't think they have done any sort of state of play for this game.
2. I think Game Science was either going to run out of money or their investors told them to get the game out on PC & PS because it would cost them more money to get the game running on Xbox S/X with not a lot of buyers for the game.

Genuine question, when do you thin...

SImply put, Naughty Dog = Shohei Ohtani and Firewalk studios = Ohtani's manager

MS was offering day 1 games on standard tier, only difference was ultimate would allow you to play online.
Also PC doesn't have ultimate tier, they use standard tier and get day 1 new releases.

Designers & programmers mostly move on to different studios since there is always a studio that is looking for work, some start their own studios. Game directors depends if they have anything left in the tank or do they like working in the trenches. Leadership only a select few get move on to another studio.

They don't believe what they are writing, they want you to.

Their job is to manipulate not communicate
