Deathloop and Ghostwire: Tokyo are still coming, but beyond that nothing is confirmed. And no, news stories saying that Bethesda is still going to operate somewhat autonomously inside of MS are not confirmation that they'll keep publishing on PS5.
And last gen we had access to the great first party games and Bethesda's titles. This gen we still have access to the great first party games, but we lost Bethesda. So basically we should just be okay with a significant loss of value because we retained some value?
It's an entire publisher (some people are forgetting this or misunderstanding this and thinking that MS just bought the developer Bethesda Game Studios). They are also one of the publishers that isn't obsessed with annualized franchises and MTs. I'm not saying they are never guilty of bad practices, but compared to Activision, EA, Ubisoft, etc, there's a much higher focus on quality there (yes I know about Fallout 76, no need to mention it, I'm speaking generally).
People really have their heads in the sand about this stuff.
Yes. A first person western RPG is essential now.
It will provide us with great titles. My point is that this is not a scenario where MS created a new studio with tons of talent to make something new and exclusive to MS; they took something that PlayStation players previously had access to and made it part of Xbox.
So during PS4 gen, I could buy Uncharted, Dishonored, and Fallout. I'll still be able to buy whatever Naughty Dog puts out, but I've lost access to this Bethesda properties. It's not a comparison b...
Not a fan of this "Sony already has great studios" argument. Obviously Sony has great first party studios, but the problem is that the value proposition of Playstation has decreased significantly. In the PS4 gen, we got great games from Sony's studios and basically every game Bethesda published. So it doesn't really make sense to say that what Sony already had is a counter to Bethesda, because it was already built in to the ecosystem. No matter how you slice it, the value ha...
This would be awesome. People say dumb things like "there are so many games like that now." But there aren't.
Yep. People are just declaring that MS is going to treat all Bethesda games moving forward like they've treated Minecraft, when there is really no evidence that is true. I hope it is, but it would be a little strange for a Microsoft-owned company to actively keep developing games for their competitor while that competitor is taking active steps to keep games off of Xbox.
Shocker that the physical disc people are the same people who can't just make their own choice and be happy with it, unless everyone else makes the same choice.
I think this is a translation error. Smeagol says PS5 can't handle 4K/60 fps, and we know he doesn't like.
My favorite was "brain capacity of a wasp." Lots of wasps with Amazon accounts these days lol.
Exactly. People who get on sites like this frequently lose all perspective on how uninformed regular people are about gaming. A lot of more casual types are going to see a black system, the words "Xbox," and "X," and be like "oh that's that new Xbox I heard about on twitter."
I saw this lol. Hilarious, but totally predictable (indeed, many of us predicted it).
Remember how people assured us this wouldn't be a problem?
@Silly gameAr
I hope so much that I am. I've never so strongly wanted to be wrong about anything related to gaming. I'm just trying to be realistic; I'd be more optimistic if they'd treated this purchase like the Minecraft one, which was talked about as a general Microsoft purchase, whereas MS has clearly branded this as Bethesda becoming a part of the Xbox brand. Certainly the Minecraft purchase, as well as Microsoft becoming a touch more platform agnostic ...
A lot of people have their heads in the sand about this Bethesda deal and what it means for PlayStation. A lot of people are pushing the "it's exactly like the Minecraft deal," but that hasn't really been confirmed anywhere. Just saying that Bethesda is going to keep publishing their games doesn't mean they'll keep publishing them everywhere indefinitely (although it does mean Deathloop and Tokyo Ghost Wire are okay).
The magnitude of the Rare purchase is not even in the same league as that of buying Bethesda. A lot of people seem to be under the impression MS has only purchased Bethesda Game Studios, so just one dev, when in fact they purchased a publisher and their entire family of studios.
"Troll" lol. I've owned every PlayStation ever made, including Vita. I'm just not going to pretend like abysmal news isn't abysmal.
Seriously, can you think of anything that's been worse for PlayStation since the announcement of the PS3's starting price? Maybe the PSN outage, but even that was a temporary problem.
Unfortunately this doesn't look like it's going to be a launch game. I feel like getting out at launch and being able to grab more attention was exactly what Housemarque needed to get back some of their old mojo. I'm afraid if this comes out mid-2021 everyone will have already forgotten about it.
