EA Originals is a good thing so far because it seems EA is less hands on, whilst still pumping funding into projects, which is ideal.
Wild Hearts was okay, but let down by performance issues. Still - no microtransactions and can be played offline. Win-win.
Looks like a good, original idea; however, I thought this was a multi-platform release? This article would lead you to believe otherwise.
@Just
It’s a sad day when you’re not even exaggerating.
They’ve created a little echo chamber in here where there’s fewer actual gamers and more keyboard warrior fanboys who would fold like a deck chair in any real confrontation.
Out of curiosity, I searched N4G up and there’s a slew of posts from sites like Reddit & Gamefaqs of people pointing out this exact fanboy issue. It’s funny too that PS Fanboys are voted the most toxic in s...

Are just a few examples of exclusives that released in 2021 and weren’t delayed until 2022.
Forbidden West: delayed from 2021 to 2022
Witch Queen: delayed from 2021 to 2022
Two I could find that were actually delayed, not adding GoW as already mentioned above.
However, that being said, both Stray & The Last of Us: Part I were slated for ...
The Xbox UI really does need a tidy up.
I wasn’t a fan of the 360 era slides but the current UI is just tiles upon tiles with a few being reserved specifically for ads.
Best UI imo was the divisive XMB on the PS3 - loved that.
They’re really trying, bless them.
@shinoff
They probably should delay, sure, but with all of the marketing and already countless setbacks Microsoft have faced, they’ll be reluctant to do so.
The trouble with Microsoft that I think is that they plan all of these games to release on a spread out schedule: “Minecraft then Redfall, couple of months and we’ll get Starfield out, then Forza” but then as soon as one game is delayed it means there’s an even bigger gap between launches.

“But i know this is sony they do no bad hey n4g.”
Facts 😂
At least someone else sees it.
@Sony, I’m referring to @darkrider here:
“Buying bungie where destiny is available on Xbox consoles”
Should’ve made that clearer.
@R2ob
“The only reason Lightfall was pushed back was because the prior expansion, Witch Queen, was delayed (domino effect). If they didn't push the release back then one of the seasons, that people paid for, would have been cut short (each season is 3 months). The reason Witch Queen was delayed in 2021 was due to complications from the pandemic, an unforseen circumstance at the time.”
Ah right, right, so when Halo Infinite was delayed for the same rea...
Finally getting into Forbidden West just to see what’s in store on this current gen only expansion. Not long to go!
Is available on Xbox, for now*

“I actually like being condescending when I come across someone that is either ignorant or misinformed.”
Yikes, so you’re just a c**t then?
Big man behind a keyboard over a videogame? Grow up. 😂
@Necrosis
Quit reaching, not the case at all.
Middle of the road. As stated time and time again, this attitude is just hypocritical.
@Shinoff
Please read the entir...
@Domination
I completely agree, I’m sure there are many more examples to use as studios, first and third party have delays on both platforms.
Those were just some exclusives I thought of on the spot. The thing is, even if there were third party exclusive delays for Microsoft, we both know the attitude on this site would be the same and the reason “they’re not first party studios” won’t hold any water.
@Redemption
*sigh*
Wouldn’t buy this again.
Really enjoyed the gameplay but they were far too quick to pull the plug and I felt utterly ripped off paying for it.
Only way is F2P.
Such a shame.
Outriders was a mess, still is pretty unstable.
B4B was fun at first but ran its course far too quick.
Babylon’s fall….lol.
Battleborn was fun and shouldn’t have been killed off when it was, but the marketing for that game was absolute garbage, nobody knew what it was.
@Lightning
Whilst I understand that point, which I referenced above here: “ & yes, delays can be good for the end product but disappointing for gamers, particularly those on a platform with more losses than wins.”
I still feel there is unparalleled bias when it comes to releases and delays. Microsoft cannot gain any positivity:
they release a broken game - lose.
They delay a game - lose.
They drop a surprise exc...
@DarkZane
These are just a few examples.
Final Fantasy XVI was pushed back 6 months due to Covid - see the article on the verge.
What’s the excuse for God of War?
I’d also point out that Redfall most likely began development prior to the acquisition. So with that in mind, what would be the excuse for Lightfall? As Sony bought Bungie over?
I’m simply trying to point out a double standard in the fanboys logic h...
Agreed with @Sully.
If Xbox delay this, it’s a joke.
If they launch it with these limitations, it’s a joke.
Game is stuck between a rock and a hard place and really needs to be a surprise hit to gain any goodwill.
Looks great, sadly they switched their main platform from PlayStation to PC and their support staff dodge questions related to the PS release now.
PC has had several betas to date, so I wouldn’t be surprised if this ends up not making it to PlayStation in the end or is, at the very least, released way down the line following the PC release.
