Besides the ones everyone is saying I'm very interested in Contraband and Indiana Jones (not confirmed as exclusive or cross-platform, but I don't care, excited for it)
I love that they do this. Have a focused presentation and then a deep dive with interviews show shortly after for the people that want all that.
Right. When the highlight is, yet another, Remake from Sony, it's hard to be that excited.
Are the games made by the children and slave labor China uses to make everything else?
It's 2022, God of War was delayed, Zelda delayed, pretty much every major game has had a delay over the last couple year.
Can't wait for this game.
This is not great analysis. PCs run windows, they're an MS platform so there isn't a reason for them to reverse course.
1) Gamepasses value isn't just first party day and date launches, it's all day and date launches. There have been a ton of nonexclusive launches on GamePass. Im currently playing Crusader Kings 3, Weird West, and Eiyuden Chronicle Rising, and MLB the Show. I just finished tunic and Sable, and am looking forward to loot river and dreamscaper. Those titles alone justify the $15/month for an entire year and I didn't mention the PC only games.
2) People are dumb (I ...

They published the game of the year last year (it takes 2) and have mass effect, dragon age, dead space, jedi fallen order, titan fall, and a kinda of popular game called Apex Legends... Plus Fifa and Madden are 2 of the best selling games every year. Fifa will be more profitable now that they don't have to pay for thr fifa name.
Politicians will chest thump about it but MS could purchase EA, Ubi, Take 2 and whomever and it would be classified as monopoly. They're purchasing creates of content for their platform, and even after the ActivisionBlizzard purchase they aren't the dominant player in the market. Purchasing studios is like Netflix or Disney buying movie studios, it doesn't fall under monopolistic behavior.
@S2Killinit
You're thinking of Lionhead, that was during the Steve Ballmer years. Ballmer launched Xbox One, Spencer took over after that horrible launch and began turning things around. L.
@ZwVw
0% chance MS would merge with Ubi or EA, they'd purchase them outright. The acquisition would be filed as a Merger because most M&As are for tax reasons, but it wouldn't be a merger.
@shinoff2183
What Devs has MS failed under Phil Spencer & Satya Nadella?
Seems lkke everyone they've acquired has heaped praise on then for support and collaboration.
Who wouldn't? Their gross profit of over $5 billion looks nice and they have incredible popular annual release franchises. Plus publishers many smaller games people usually aren't even aware of.
There are very few true mergers anymore. Most M&As are filed as mergers for tax reasons.
@Vengeance1138
What you mean they have Acti-Blizzard to be concerned about? That deal will close realtivly soon (reports are still that its flying to complete in Q1 2023) and they've got plenty of cash to purchase EA, Take 2, Ubi, or anyone else they want.
That is what all the smart business people are saying "subscription models are a fad."
No.
Yes, for an occasional month where you want to play some old school games.
@PICAYU
No, RealTedCruz is pointing out that on PC and Xbox you don't have to pay a subscription to play old games. You can simply go to the store, pay the $1-$5 for the old games and play them.
Gotta love remakes of games less than a decade old. Hopefully they made the game play fun this time.
