@Silver that's why I said Gamepass has games of all types.
Gears has single player and MP Halo has the same thing. SoT and H5 are live service games. As I said they have games of all types on gamepass. I never claimed they didn't have any live service games. @S2 said gamepass is designed with Live Service when its designed for all game types. Single or live.
Lol Gamepass is absolutely not designed with Live Service in mind. It's clear you don't know what gamepass is. It's subscription service where you play games of all kinds.
Sony as a corporation needs to make money anyway they possibly can. Adopting a live service games and "aggressively" want more live service offerings is how they see things. That's not all they're gonna be doing no but that's one of the models they want to adopt. Acquiring Bungie wasn't just for Destiny or any of their future IP tbh, it was for their live service expertise and net code tech that can span across all of their first party if they choose to make a game w...
Basically what you're saying is ND and SP are putting whatever games they're making on hold or flat out scrapping what they're making in order to make live service games.....
Lmao no. That's not how it wor.. No man just no.
I think it's a great fit it gives Sony Bungies net code technology and matchmaking. The same net code that launched Halo and and made what online gaming is today. I expect Sony to share the net code across some of its studios that are making MP games.
Good read. The war is mainly against Tencent, Google, Amazon and the sleeping giant Apple. Who's worth more than MS. Not saying Apple will do anything but if they did they would undoubtedly come in and clean house and buy up major players only to destroy them because they have no real history in gaming Amazon and Google are stumbling around still. MS is no longer concerned about who sells more at this point. Active users, attach rates and engagement is their target. Sony and MS aren'...
@Red I looked through the press release and Jim said.
"Everybody wants the extremely large Destiny 2 community, whatever platform they're on, to be able to continue to enjoy their Destiny 2 experiences. And that approach will apply to future Bungie releases. That is unequivocal."
Even future games will be multiplat. The move could be due to Sony losing 20 billion after MS bought Activision Blizzard. Want to make love service games to not on...
"This may also give more weight to the rumors of PS GamePass - "
There's a rumor? If that were true then what would be the point of having an Xbox and if PS can play all of Xbox's exclusives.
What is going on in this industry lmaaaooo.
If this was like Insomniac, then Spider-Man 3 and Wolverine would be on Xbox. Jim clearly stated in the press release that Destiny 2 and future Bungie games will remain multiplat.
Wait, so future games from Bungie are gonna be multiplat then? So what's the point of buying them then? Just to get multiplatform money?
Good for Sony as a company sure but pointless for PS gamers.
Bad move on Jim Ryan, terrible move....
I understand what you're saying but Sony is fighting fire with fire now. At the end result we just need to buy both. I dunno how many times I have to keep saying this...
Sony is the one taking the money from MS at the end of the day. The game did well enough on Gamepass last year so they're doing it again this year. It really is just buissness I suppose.
It's about time MS is finally in the talk when it comes to exclusives to compete again Sony and Nintendo. It's been since 2013, 14 that they've been in the talks of exclusives.
With delays its hard to tell but all I know is Xbox games will once again be releasing around 3rd or 4 quarter of the year. It's not like it's MS fault per say but it makes you wonder considering Sony's and their games are releasing on time or semi on time anyway.
Todd re iterated that Starfield will make it out this year. He even said we'll see gameplay this summer (E3 presumably)
I guess we'll see.
"Guerilla have really squeezed the PS5 for all its worth."
Impossible for a cross gen game. Unless you meant they did all they could on PS5 despite it being built on PS4 coding. I believe they're squeezing everything they could out of the PS4 while making it the best version possible on PS5.
MS is spending that kinda money not the Xbox division. Satya is signing the checks while Phil pitches or sells the idea to Satya. The Xbox Division doesn't generate that sort of profit.
Fornite gamers don't care really. But then again Fornite players don't care for most games other than, well, Fornite.
That's all they think about.
I'm not gonna lie I thought MS hid the Halo Infinite numbers because they weren't so great. Which would of been weird considering the hype around the game and the great reviews. It looks like MS was just waiting for its financial quarters.
Glad to see Halo do big numbers player counts and Forza is just on top of it still even after being out for 3 months.
More proof that MS bigger games will be fine in the long haul.
I agree HARD. Announcing things in concept stages is getting old and very annoying. 12- to 18 months is still annoying because possible delays. I said 6 months to 12 until we start hyping things but that's only after we see gameplay.
Let the delays commence! I'm not either tbh.
Major 3rd party Games have been getting deleted for 2 years now.
