I don't doubt some things will come to pass, but Jez is an xbox console warrior moron and largely a joke these days.
Man, the irony of you calling anyone a fanboy is just too much lol.
It's the same idiot with his daily alts trolling/fishing, best to just report and move on.
Tunic and Ghostrunner 2 are solid.
Even on xbox consoles CoD still sells millions, it gets players regardless, so I'm not so sure about any big impact it'd have by being on gamepass. Unless it drives subs numbers up in the millions, that's a lot of revenue lost from the amount of people who'd just play the new CoD on gamepass instead as opposed to the millions that'd buy it anyway, you might say it'd get more players and spend more on MTs to make up for it, but players who want to play CoD would get it ...
Speshal Nick is about as unreliable as a 'leaker' as it gets, now if Tom Henderson or someone corroborated something like this, then it'd have weight.
Don't really see any incentive or benefit for Sony to bring this to xbox consoles other than maybe creating a bit of good will with MS given their acquisitions? It's not F2P and has a cost to buy it, but who knows what might happen eventually, stranger things have happened.
The absolute copium from you and obscure, assuming you're not one and the same. So the goalposts get moved again and your coping mechanism for one of Xbox's most popular games now being on their main competition is that it's outselling other games on the store, I see this a a good thing, especially if the supposed 'test the waters' thing is true, this means more MS owned IPs will remain or come to PS in future, but I'm sure you'll find a way to somehow spin that :)...
Guys, its the same moron hiding behind his daily alts, just mark as spam and move on lol.
We were told with MS massive cash this would be much bigger. Turns out after 6 years it's basically the same length, and the 'gameplay' if you can call it that is mostly the same. Well at least it looks pretty, even if it's 30fps with a letterbox view.
Funny that the Xbox fanatics always talk crap about PlayStation's '3rd person narrative movie games' yet a 9 hour walking simulator is suddenly the next thing since sliced bread lol.
Guys you're wasting your breathe.
The goalposts will always move, everything will always be spun in another direction to be somehow terrible for Sony and great for MS, even if they went full third party it wouldn't change, there's no reasoning or arguing with the fanatics.
Playing Rebirth, Ronin, or Helldivers 2? Lololololol don't count not made by a first party studio.
MS release their games on PS? Lololol sloppy second...
A fantastic game that hopefully will have legs and PC will boost the sales when it arrives there. I think a bit of context is needed though, with the first launching at the peak of the first covid wave, on a 100+ million PS4 userbase, and this being a sequel. The narrative it would have somehow sold gangbusters if it released on Xbox is just lol.
Even so, I hope it eventually sells strongly, I'm sure the deal with Sony helped with devs costs and they were able to re-use...
Yeah, very low quality bait when Xbox probably accounted for 10% or less of those sales.
Loved Crash 4, that's more than I thought, I had a feeling that releasing at full price, right before current systems was a bad move, so 5 million is pretty good. I shudder to think how poor Rumble sold though.
Spyro apparently at 10 million, would be interesting seeing the platform split for these.
Are you alright mate? Maybe give the alt trolling a rest for a day or two, you'll survive I'm sure.
'how many GaaS games can people juggle realistically before gaming becomes more of a chore than a hobby?'
This to me is one of the main cruxes of the problem. If you try shove 10 GAAS titles down everyones throats, that demand you spend a few hours every day for the 'dailies' and 'weeklies', there's just not enough time for them and they saturate each other.
You're wasting your time, actual logical thinking and context doesn't exist to these people, they know all this full well anyway. They know it didn;t move the hardware needle, barely anyone was rushing out to grab and xbox to play this, there was no huge increase in GP subs, no sales data has been given (no doubt it will pretty well on steam at least), gee I wonder why. It's easier for MS to to not give any context and talk about MAUs, planets explored, bullets fired lmao.
'Industry analyst Michael Pachter'
Stopped reading there.
It no longer works for Microsoft because they gutted their software sales for years with gamepass, had a poor exclusive offering, as well increasingly plummeting console sales. Stop trying to lump Sony and especially Nintendo in to this basket lol.
This reads like a 'sorey you were offended by what we said' rather than a sincere apology to me. That and apparently the same person then went on an unhinged about having to apologise afterwards.
It's funny isn't it, all these guys clowning on PS5 'third person narrative movie games', yet suddenly this game, which is similar scope to the first, looks to play the same, wilp be way more walking simulator and movie-like than any playstation game is suddenly the best thing since sliced bread and 30fps is now fine lol.
Isn't the ID requirement for a UK account only, due to a law? Not sure it's a general thing.
As overblown as I think this is, it's becoming too loud for Sony to ignore it, I can see them rolling this back.
