Every single XBO game will be compatible across all platforms, but not every single Scorpio title will be compatible for XBO. That in my opinion is the most important part.
It essentially means that Scorpio is not an "upgrade" but in actuality MS' next gen console. MS specifically made a big deal about going "Beyond Generations" but what they essentially done is not that. If MS were truly "Beyond Generations", there wouldn't be Scorpio ...
Hey Crap, tell me again, who published Rise of the Tomb Raider on consoles? Whatever happened to that game? I could swear I heard word it may be coming to Ps4...strange too because these situations all seem extremely similar. Will be sure to bookmark this.
You are right about one thing though, Dead Rising isn't a huge game. I'll definitely rent it for my PS4 next year after I beat the fully exclusive Days Gone, just like I rent RotTR this year after I finish the ful...
I'm having an extreme case of Deja Vu....I saw you same guys saying the exact same thing about Rise of the Tomb Raider....remind me, how did that turn out again?
But yeah, most definitely, this game "isn't coming (Holiday 2016)" to PS4.
Difference is exactly that line..."First on consoles for PS4" plainly insinuates it is coming to other consoles in the future, calling something "Exclusive" or "Exclusive Holiday 2016" is an obvious attempt to confuse gamers.
Also, notice that MS has stayed entirely silent on the status of the game, just like they did w/ RotTR. They know the chatter is out there that it is in exclusive because they've insinuated as much...they are leaning i...
ThisGenGaming was the same site that ran w/ the bogus box art "confirming Xbox console exclusivity"...hopefully they learn a lesson from this, but I highly doubt it because I'm sure they got a lot of hits out of their false claims.
This is just aggressively anti consumer. MS is working to keep gamers in the dark about their software, Spencer literally said last year he "didn't want to do any more timed deals" & yet here we are...not only that...
Oh most definitely...MS' presser was actually great. & maybe their best so far this gen, but like you said they are still playing it a bit safe. I'm sure Gears & Forza & Halo will be fun games, but I'd just like to see more variety coming internally from MS. I definitely agree they have some quality devs & studios under their belt but they are all being shackled to franchises that only really iterate in incremental fractions. Looking at a direct comparison between ...
Have they given any update on the RotTR PS4 release? I was sure we'd heard at least a mention of it...makes me wonder if they are contractually obligated to keep their mouths shut about it right up until release, which would be a huge shame.
Yeah as much as Xbox tried to pretend they are moving away from it, we still got centerpieces of their show being Gears 4, Halo Wars & Forza. Last year it was Halo 5, Gears UE & Forza, with an added Fable that was canceled and shuttered.
MS has brought out some new IPs this year, but they are few & far between...a game like Recore got pushed to the side...that game is 3 months from launch & we still haven't seen someone actually play it. Games like GoW, ...
Ever thought Xbox games may get those hours because they are all that's available? It's a helluva lot easier to put a game on the shelf after 15 hours when another new amazing one is released.
PS gamers are just spoiled for choice is all. I'd be playing 3 year old games too if the only new game I had was Quantum Break, and half of that game was television...
Oh so now only western tastes matter? More moving of the goalposts.
If only western tastes count, why is Xbox sold outside of America? Why did Xbox feature Japanese led games like. Final Fantasy & Tekken? Gaming as a whole is a "niche" medium compared to film & television...gamers should support appreciate the "niche" flavors, not discount them as "Un-Murikan"
What's the release date for Sea of Thieves?
What is the release date for Crackdown?
What is the release date for Scalebound?
What is the release date for Cuphead?
The only firm releases MS has is Halo Wars 2, Gears 4 & Forza. They don't even have a date for DR4 beyond "Holiday 2016"
Sony has release dates for TLG, NMS & possibly GT Sport? Not sure on that last one...either ...
I mean, solely based off if his list, We Happy Few is 'First to Consoles on Xbox', meaning a PS4 release is already in the cards...Inside is confirmed as a timed exclusive coming to PS4 sometime in the future...pretty sure the same is true for Below. Fairly certain the same will ring true for DR4 judging by the awkward wording.
So a handful of those games he is touting will see a PS4 release, so the fact that he even mentions them as games "we've got" ...
I expect the consoles to be fazed out, but it's important how long that will be. Look at phones, I still have an iPhone 4 & can play most everything available.
Scorpio on the other hand can theoretically (and most likely will) come out with an exclusive game at launch. Spencer already confirmed he has no policy on whether or not Scorpio will get exclusive games, is leaving it up to devs. Which means, yeah there will be some amazing blow out exclusive game at launch,...

I totally agree that Plus has benefits, it's just that downloading free demos during a gamer appreciation type week like E3 was never one of those. I'd expect stuff like this from MS, they were the ones that pay walled even stuff like Netflix. I just expect a little more from Sony is all. Not a big deal & it doesn't really bother me all that much, but I do believe that it is a little off color from what I typically expect from Sony, and I'm not s...
Apparently there is no Kinect port on the XBO S. So it literally can't be used on that system & it'd be strange to lose it here but add the port back for Scorpio.
As far as voice commands, those will be done w/ a microphone from my understanding.
It's clear that Kinect is done & dusted in any form. Good move that they aren't creating their own VR headset because it'd be hard to sell people on the future of a peripheral after yo...
Yeah it is off putting. I can understand why people would be upset over this. I'm also one of those PS gamers that don't subscribe to Plus because I don't play online, so I was debating picking up a 3 month sub but I can watch the demo online, so it doesn't bother me that much.
That said it's mainly strange to me because from what I understand, there won't be an mp aspect for RE, so it's just strange that you'd require that to experience an s...
Rumor is they threw the Days Gone gameplay at the end instead of during its reveal earlier in the conference because it had to take the place of the reveal of the new Red Dead game.
The footage of Red Dead was said to contain a scene where a saloon full of innocent people was shot up which was deemed insensitive right after the Orlando attacks.
Those games were being played, did you not see the guy with a controller during the GoW demo? There was as much ...
@kingofgambling
I heard the rumor from a video posted on RobinGaming's YouTube channel about it, and he showed the rumor came from GAF or some Rockstar forum from a poster that seemed pretty credible.
It makes sense when you think about it too, why wouldn't that have put that Days Gone gameplay during its reveal earlier in the conference? I'd assume they already had their orchestra set up to live score everything else & couldn't change...
I have a feeling a lot of people (Phil Spencer included after his recent low blow comments to VG247) are going to be eating a lot of crow come next year when most of these games ship before 2017 ends. Pretty sure the "in development" tag wasn't done because the games are so far off, it was done to combat delays. Sony are actively responding & fixing an issue that it's users and detractors have complained about recently with all of the delays, and these games will get fir...
I don't think people should be forced to "read between the lines" when it comes to a company trying to sell you a product. Everything should be made clear from the jump. The idea that people even need to read between the lines leaves a potential for negative practices. "Reading between the lines" is the exact same thing as "assuming" & we all know what that old cliche has to say about that...
The problem is, people have questions & ...
