The headline makes it sound like Sony will pull MLB from Xbox and Switch - something they don’t have the power to do.
The real question is, for how much longer will Sony be making the MLB games (also mentioned in the article).
I expect the MLB will give it to another developer in a year or two - or whenever the current contract expires - and probably 2K or EA.
Is that really a surprise to anyone? Of course this game is coming to Xbox, it was probably coming before they even got acquired by MS.
That's awesome, I loved the MW reboot - best COD in years, so I'm super excited for MW2.
Also had to laugh at the 11 studios working on one COD game... seriously...
Not without a proper damage model.
Very well deserved - the game is awesome.
Interesting, this was the first time I’d seen this - but I also normally buy physical and don’t preorder.
Eventually. PS5 and PC only until next year.
Feels weird that this hasn’t had a next gen upgrade after over a year…
Use the wheel. Obviously a standard controller will never be close to an actual steering wheel for a racing sim.
Phil Spencer definitely shafted us when he increased game prices to $70... and then started to charge us for minor next-gen upgrades... oh wait...
Well deserved. He managed to really turn things around at Xbox after the disastrous Xbox One launch. And he has managed to drive some good change in the industry.
PS+ discount is new, they should do that on more pre-orders.
Not really sure how to feel about GWT or if it'll really be my thing. I think I would've preferred TEW 3.
Not super surprising given how bad Vanguard is. Fortunately for them BF was also bad so they’ve probably only had players leave for Halo.
Hopefully IW means a follow up to 2019’s Modern Warfare.
Because PlayStation, Nintendo & all other corporations never spend money from other parts of the wider company /s
Ah I see! Lol. Some people think the games industry is full of rockstars making 1mil plus etc so I thought that's where you were coming from! :P
Crazy, Switch just keeps destroying records. Next up will be PS4 (only about 13m gap right now).
I don't know if it'll catch the DS and PS2 though (~150m) - it really depends how long they keep it in the market for.
There’s an unlocked 120hz mode exclusively on XSX (presumably due to VRR).
Obviously they aren’t about to give each employee 1 million dollars. It’s over multiple years and the higher ups will get the bulk of it.
This is a share payout, which is necessary since employees will not be granted the equivalent Sony stock, normal employees aren’t sitting on 1 million dollars of stock.
I also heard from my friend who works there that Jim and Herman both recorded personal messages for the studio and awarded everyone a PS5 and a copy of ...
They don’t really get Xbox income though. They aren’t the publisher on Xbox and Switch - the MLB are, so Sony are just paid the up front development cost and then the revenue from sales and game pass go to the MLB.
