You realize Remedy spent EPIC's money, not theirs, right? This the same situation as Bayonetta. The sequel wouldn't exist if Tim Sweeney hadn't signed Remedy to a deal. This is EPIC's call - no surprise they don't want their product on Steam. Physical on console, despite pleas from gamers, is a dying medium and will be 80/20 by the end of the gen. Obviously EPIC wants the money spent elsewhere. We aren't privy to the language of the contract so we don't know how l...
that's exactly what the trailer park neckbeards & their Series G's want to buy. Japanese games. Wait a minute they don't buy games. They like their pew pew shooters so prolly Crytek up next.
If Phil wants to make a splash and create excitement beyond camp green then you're absolutely correct. New shit.
Example: sign From Software to a 1 game deal and reboot Nightmare Creatures (OG Souls game). That announcement would turn a few heads. We can't get a BB2 or a remastered Bloodbourne for PS5/PC so it's a South Park ro-sham-bo to Sony at the same time. Or perhaps more realistically a sequel to Sekiero (sp)?
gamepad is a valid reason but not the only one. 360 was weaker on paper but 3rd party games looked just as good and slightly performed better in some instances. Ironically the same situation we find ourselves in now, just the roles are reversed. For most buying a companion console wasn't worth it then and moving forward it won't be worth it unless it's a PS/PC/Xbox set up with a Nintendo portable. Despite RROD, the 360 was still MS' best stab at competing and I want them them ...
worst console gen ever. Throw out Insomniac and Sony is as bad as MS with 1st party output. Remember a couple years ago Herman said 1st party studios had 25 games in development, 11 of which were new IP? I have never doubted a statement like that in the past from Sony...until now. They tossed out a couple PS5 exclusives to placate the fanbase and essentially crickets since. Used Covid as an excuse to elongate the PS4 overlap to maximize "huge profits" that never came because duh...w...
see the thing is Bryan how you feel about Horizon is how we ALL feel about ALL MS games. Starfield, thanks to GP, was never going to be bought but played for free. That didn't last long though did it. I don't even remember the last time MS made a good game worth paying for?!
Exactly what I said it would be leading up to its release: same boring copy/paste job as their last 3-4 games. Just add load screens. The same copy/paste job Mr. Todd Howard has employed since ...
exactly sink or swim time. Had 2-4 years of development time to produce a working game. Selectively handing out review codes to ensure an inflated score really gives a bad taste in people's mouths. Of course MS knows it has a little army to defend against valid criticisms. And yes I'd post the same goddamn message if this was BG3 and Larian or Insomniac with Spiderman we're talking about
just look at how they figured out week 1 sales with GP? Let's use early access as a selling point!! People even paying extra for a game they don't technically own! Bloody brilliant...
the stupidity of Xtwats: Cheer on the exclusivity of a game they were ALWAYS going to get.
well good for us you're here to balance all that out eh?
time to take ole Bessie out back behind the shed n put her down. Morrowind came out in 2002. Bethesda has misled consumers ever since with each new release that promised updated engine improvements only to see they're using the same old meat
c'mon man you believe that? The original EQ I could walk from end to end in 25 minutes with SOW on my druid. No way a RPG developed in 2023 will be 40. Todd Howard is the OG snake oil salesman. I'm not saying Starfield can't be good, I'm just saying to expect a game with half its promised features replete with bugs that won't get fixed until PC modders take the reigns.
Don't forget screwing over Leslie Benzies first, the guy responsible for GTA's online success. He's already built up a studio with an ambitious title that probably releases before GTA6! Build a Rocket Boy debuted Everywhere at Gamescom:

Lots of movie IPs could be great video game adaptations if in the right hands. I'd love an Escape from New York made by Insomniac. Room for sequels as they made LA and reference Cleveland as prisons Snake Pliskin busts out of
have you checked out those koozies though? Mighty fine wraps sir. Could change EVERYTHING!!!! Who needs games when you can fleece your loyal fanbase with pizza warmers?
guess MS is taking a page from Nintendo. Labo anyone? What a complete waste of R&D but Darthy he likes it!

last I checked she can voice her opinion in a forum about games. Why so defensive about games on a certain platform? You Xtwats are like Sith, always deal in absolutes. When you get off mom's tit, you'll learn there's a lot of grey in the world.
it's ok brah. When Xbox finally gets it we'll still be here for you. Until then denigrate VR all ya want OR brag all about the PC ones that are superior that you don't own.
hardware yes, software no. I have literally been saying this for 10 years here. Each gen they sell less consoles. But every gen they also acquire more developers. The writing has been on the wall for years. MS wants to go 3rd party with GP available on EVERY device, including Sony and Nintendo hardware. They're willing at this point to strip away Xbox's brand equity to achieve it. I thought maybe they'd sell off the Xbox division to Amazon or Tencent but it appears it's curren...
