You're missing my point buddy, I'll try to explain a little better

***"The comparison between regular Forza and GT Sport is because they ARE directly comparable"***

i agree, They are comparable because they are similar in scope and mechanics, many tracks, many cars, high production values set on the same / similar circuits with the same style of racing.

***"However, Horizon plays enti...

@Silvershiptrip

As per my response to your PM,

The link you have posted is market VALUE not market cap.

In addition, the article you linked is almost a full year out of date (Jan '19) vs the link I provided which is accurate to start of Q4 2019 (October)

Comment moved to correct reply line.

***"First off, this idea that Hellblade is an answer to God of War 4 is dumb. Secondly, Hellblade released before God of War 4 did, so this idea that God of War 4 did thsse things before Hellblade isnt accurate"***

No one is comparing the original Hellblade to God of War, the discussion is focussed on the additional scope afforded to NT by becoming part of Xbox Game Studios and receiving financial backing from Microsoft, the author of the...

***"Always trying to compare and not distinguish games apart from each other is why all these gaming related sites are ruined"***

Comparisons are always going to be drawn between similar games, in this case over the shoulder third person story driven action/adventure games. The similarities I highlighted in my initial post represent obvious conclusions that can be drawn within the setting, character, enemies, aesthetic of the games - ...

@MrVux

If my comment was misdirected and what you wrote was not intended in the manner in which it was taken then I apologise mate, your initial comment featured elements that were almost word for word what I had written and your comment was posted within 10 minutes of mine - I hope you can see why I may have possibly jumped the gun in my response.

I am replying below to your last post, only to highlight my chain of thought in the response.

***"I'm OK with that so long as they keep the themes of the character and game in tact. The first one was special because of what they actually achieved with trying to represent mental illness. Turning that into an experience, instead of just a character with mental illness, is not something that's easy to achieve.

If it's just a hack and slash with a shallow story, then I may still like it as it's own thing, but I feel i...

@thatguy

I played the first one, if you disagree with my pointing out the similarities between GoW and how Hellblade II MAY be positioned with a bigger budget and larger ambition thats fine, it's just my personal opinion based on my thoughts - I don't expect everyone to agree with me, if we all agreed on everything the world would be a pretty boring place, I'm not sure how my comment is "not even close" as neither of us know how final game will turn o...

As user Spicyram clearly does not know how to use the REPLY button, I'd like to share the message I just received via PM so that we may discuss his comment further

***"You think Hellblade is Microsoft's answer to God of war? Wow, you finally get one decent exclusive, now you're saying this Microsoft's answer to God of war? There is no way in shit Hellblade is comparable to God of war's quality. Sorry but that's just a fact. How many Game of the ...

***"take for example people that are comparing this to God Of War or even stating that this is a game to rival it ..."***

There is a very definite difference between voicing an opinion that Ninja Theory's intention may be to "POSITION" its product to rival Sony's God of War and actually "STATING" that Hellblade 2 "IS" a game to rival it, we know nothing about the game other than what has been seen in ...

@Gangsta

Interestingly The article is written by Nate Nadja (Shinobi on Twitter and Resetera), owner of the website Shinobi Speaks and communications manager for Wushu Studios. Wushu is a liverpool based studio made up of ex devs that previously worked on DriveClub and Motorstorm on the PlayStation platform as well as some Codemasters titles. They are rumored to be developing a title for PS5.

@Gangsta

I think that Ninja Theory will position this game as Xbox's rival to Sony's God of War reboot.

Angry main protagonist - Check
Norse Mythology - Check
Intricate next gen graphics engine - Check
Atreus replaced by voices in head - Check
Troll Type Demon seen coming out of rock - Check
Red Striped Body paint - Check

Goddess of War.

***"Nope, Amazon is the worlds most valuable company, now you know"***

Care to back up that statement with anything other than simply "taking your word for it", as per the link I provided?

In addition, NeoGamer's post below backs up my statement exactly (we discount SAOC as it is not a publicly traded company so cannot accurately measure current market cap, but even if we didn't exclude it would still...

@Gahl1k

***"Have you ever heard of Counterplay Games before? They are a small team that worked on two games so far, Destiny 2 and Duelyst"***

So Destiny 2, a free to play service based game and the Duelyst, another F2P playable online, this pretty much confirms what I wrote above, thanks.

To be honest, I actually think Godfall looks pretty good - it seems to be running at 60FPS and the graphics look nice. It also seems to empl...

@Chris

***"I always figured it was short for "Experience Box" which is pretty accurate"***

The original console was named after the Direct X graphics API used by Microsoft in it's Windows based platforms.

I prefer your name "Experience Box", far more relatable for the average user.

@fr0sty

***"Microsoft isn't even the world's third most valuable company"***

Microsoft was the number one ranked company in the world by market capitalization Q1- 3 in 2019.
They are currently predicted number two by market cap for Q4 (predicted over taken by Apple) with final figures not available until end of Q4/Financial year.
