@NinjaNicky You can already forget about it being bloody and violent. The game has be sellable to kids.

As for Spiderman ripping a turret off an armoured car but also needs multiple attacks to floor a random thug... It stated several times in the comics that he holds back his punches.

@Nepp67 It was already stated that the Avengers was on the West coast. Fantastic Four doesn’t exist “yet”. Doctor Strange doesn’t deal with the non magical stuff…

@Suda51ueda Hahaha… Please don’t make jokes like that. Microsoft buying ActivisionBlizzard is one thing. Having Sony buying Epic and owning Unreal Engine is an entirely different thing. Epic needs to stay mostly independent

@TheCollector316 Man… Xbox is literally living rent free in your head. All you ever do is mention when nothing has anything to do with them.

@MrMagic I don’t know what this has to do with my comment.

@naruball I think I’ve seen something like this with Halo.

@Rmg0731 This list is probably not even count PC steam sales since digital sales aren’t included… So it literally just Physical Xbox sales, and what ever physical collectors edition that were still available for PC.

@Lup the benefit of staggering the release schedule. The game still haven’t released switch yet, so we’ll continue to see it in the list especially once the holiday comes.

@Discol76 People perspective of Stars Wars is literally just the mainline films. If the films aren't good than nothing else is good. TBH for me, current Star Wars is in the best state it has ever been. Granted i don't read, so I'm not upset about the current state of books. Like you said, Mandalorian epic, Book of Bobba Fett was decent. Really enjoying Ashoka. Andor is excellent. I thought Kenobi was decent also. But add in the last few seasons of The Clone Wars, Bad Batch, Tales of the Jedi, Visions, and I enjoyed the lego stuff. I could care less about the films.

@Goat_FromBOTW Storyliving isn't all that weird, or out of Disney scope. Sound more like going back to their roots, and doing what Walt originally wanted EPCOT to be, not what we got... Plus they already have a pretty good concept of Disney owned community would be like with golden oak and the Town of Celebration.

@Mad001 The 70s and 80s was literally Disney dark era… Get out here with that era being good. The worst era of Disney. 🤣 The Black Cauldron almost single handily killed that company. But Robin Hood and The Rescuers was great.

@Mad001 What era of Disney did you grow with? Cause Eisner era Disney wasn’t all that great from multiple standpoints.

@dimi New engine unfortunately probably isn’t going to fix anything… The current FIFA are running on the current version of Frostbite, and we’ve seen what the engine is capable off from a visual standpoint. This is just what the developers chooses the ship the game like given the many platforms and time crunch.

@cragis0001 Why would he “fall on the sword” for a game he wasn’t responsible for?

@Fight_Teza_Fight Bayo will be fine. He hasn’t been in the director chair since the first. He’s just been supervising the last 2 and the prequels.

@Sil_Am I doubt MS really wants anything to do with him. They are still hurting from the cancellation of Scale bound, and Hideki Kamiya was responsible for the team in charge of that game.

@itsfoz Shorter? They’re alway pretty short games… At most like 17 hour to finish.

I would love to see codemasters take a crack at Need for Speed now that EA own them.

Is this “leak stuff” actually new? Cause me and my friends have been talking about the potential Oblivion remake for a while now that was leaked before Gamescom.

@HwuaiLiang You’re only thinking about the risk/reward for MS. Not from the actual developer standpoint which there is actually really no reward but a lot of risk.

@HwuaiLiang “ What gets me the most from all of this is how they would spend $300M to get a game on GP just for a period of a time, but major 3rd party timed exclusives were out of the question because of costs and playerbase.”

I’m assuming the reasoning behind it is the risk/cost for the actual developer. Can you imagine the massive backlash if developer would get if MS was spending this cash on 3rd party exclusives, and titles like the next Witcher was exclusive? It a far better deal for the developer to take the 300 million release day 1 on Gamepass and then still be able to release on PS.

These number are not surprising after how much Epic is paying just to get games on their store, or given away for free.

Phil’s job as CEO of Microsoft Gaming isn’t just to run Xbox… I doubt his day to day has much to do with Xbox anymore. But his primary purpose as a CEO is to look at ways to further increase Microsoft presence in gaming which mean potential acquisitions. I’m sure Phil would be fired if he doesn’t make a list like this every once in a while. That all these large companies are designed to do. Sony wasn’t just happy with just having Aniplex… They needed Crunchy Roll and Funimation as well. I mean… Sony just purchased Audeze while already having a perfect good in house audio team.

These emails aren’t at all remotely shocking.

@Cashews It was more like an hour to travel across map. But that was greatest thing ever. Being able to recreate my IRL car in game and experience driving across the US. Something I would love to do IRL, but the logistics of doing it would be crazy.

@Cashews Usually when people want a game like say burnout paradise… That usually just means that they want a sequel or return of that said game. We’ve seen so many new IP that try and rekindle the love of an old game. But so many fail, and never see a sequel.

It still surprises me that the The Crew had managed to become a breakout success. I remember when I read that the first sold 2 million copies. At the time me and another friend was worried this would just another 1 off game, and the developers would be moved to mine to work on Assassins Creed.

@NeThZOR Couch co-op is resource intensive. But online co-op would have great.

@koffing @carlos82 The fuss of an iPhone being able to run them is cause it a literally phone. An SoC that will probably have a TDP of 8. It not something like laptop parts being shoved into a smaller chassis which is what consoles, and the Steam Deck is. It a bunch mark of how far ARM chips have come. Just like the Steam Deck was a benchmark of how far integrated GPU/APUs have come.

They still haven't bought Genshin Impact to platforms other than PS5 and PS4.... Even tho their promised a Switch version. I don't expect this one to come to other platforms as well.

@Logonogo The game also had the benefit of the UE5 hype. As it was label as one of the first big UE5 game. If you had any interest in game graphic/technology this was on your radar...

“ While this move does come as a surprise, at least Asmussen leaves on a high note. Still suffering from some performance issues”

Performance issues that was his fault. EA gave Respawn the option to delay the game again. And it was his decision to turn that down and release the game as is… But of course everyone is going blame EA, and not him for giving us the worse performing game of the year. Hopefully, who ever replaces him doesn’t do the same thing and we can get a fantastic sequel.

@ChrisDeku Don’t indulge him… He nothing but a troll.

@BacklogBrad Sony: “Today we would like to announce Bloodborne for iPhone 15 Pro. Experience Bloodborne for first time at full 60FPS thanks to the A17 Pro chip available in this year latest top of line iPhone Pro/Pro Max”

@mariomaster96 The battery will definitely be smaller, but an iPhone doesn’t have to run Window 11 and play a game at the same time. ROG Ally also don’t get the advantage of crazy low level optimization that you can only get in extreme closed environments like consoles and Apple products. As well as custom textures detail, LODs, resolution, built in upscaling… etc.

@MrMagic They own brother in Arms and Homeworld as well…. They also own Cryptic studios who own a ton of MMOs.

@cragis0001 I don’t think Sony would be interested. I’m assuming the sale of Gearbox Entertainment also mean the sale of the publishing arm, not just the studio. So unless Sony planning on keeping Gearbox Entertainment as an independent entity like Bungie… They’ll have layoff the publishing side.

Plus, I’m sure Sony still have a terrible taste in their month left over from working gearbox on Godfall.

@Bamila ""Dunno if you've heard but we're shipping a new game in three weeks," he said. "Bit of a priority. When we have an update, we will share it."

@Sil_Am The industry is Ok, cause no one cares that Microsoft is buying a bunch of terrible publishers that are vastly pass their prime. Only a bunch nerd online that have never felt the touch of a woman care. If anything, the purchases have done nothing but wonders for the industry. It has put lights on some of crazy strong arming tactics that companies have been using. It also allows smaller more talented companies vastly more room to breath. Which bring me to the whole “Microsoft has the western RPG market cornered” continues to be proven false especially with the newest comparison of BG3 and Starfield… Every year more and more fantastic studio are releasing fantastic western style RPGs.

@TheCollector316 Gotta recoup that purchase price some how with it land rent going up to $41 million by 2028…

@Dman10 At least since the 90… It just normal stuff like the Empire States building falls under public domain. The Chrysler building was sold to new owners in 2019, and as owners you can copyright the design of the building. The Manhattan White Pages needed permission to depict ''Patience,'' one of the marble lions guarding the New York Public Library on Fifth Avenue…

@Bionic-Spencer The issue is that a lot of game has really bad HDR implementation... cough cough Starfield cough cough being the latest offender, so it is going vary from game to game, and the majority of game aren't worth having HDR on. Also, a lot of games actually don't support HDR, so it is relying on PS5 Auto HDR.. You actually have to look online to find what games have good HDR cause the list is so small.

@Deadlyblack I've been hearing it all week with Starfield release... "Oh, it's the usual Bethesda jank that everyone is used to". A studio only gets torn to shreds; if the studio hasn't built up a large enough fanbase or have completely ruined their relationship with their fanbase.

@Deadlyblack

“ ‘Insert developer name here’ games always have that touch of jank” Is the go-to quote of every rabid fanboy

“Yeah but it's 2023 and ‘Insert developer name here’ has released how many games already, there's no excuse for them to not optimize their engine.” Is also the go-to quote for people who disagree with those rabid fanboy.

@RobN I’m just saying it getting harder to judge a game’s actual performance off the eye when you have a ton of modern tools and features like VRR and good motion blur to cover up stutters or fluctuations in frame rate… Now we’re going to have fake frames soon with stuff like AMD’s Fluid Motion Frame tech. That why tech reviews/analysis like Digital foundry is great as they are able to really dig into a game actual performance.

@Jaz007 You don’t see an issue cause you’re looking at the game through whatever post-processing the developer adds on top of what ever nonsense post processing is added from your tv. You need a frame rate tool to bypass all the nonsense and see the actual frame the game running at.

@UltimateOtaku91 Funny part about that. Is the guy who commented wasn’t even apart of the studio who made Gotham knights. He apart of Rocksteady… So he had no room to talk about development issues for Gotham Knights, and is more or less speaking out his butt.

@Michael2008ish It a great console for teenagers, or kids that feel they’ve “outgrown” Nintendo.

Interesting purchase. Absolutely love my pair of LCD-X.

Can’t wait to play this on a 6090, and still get 30FPS at 1080p

@Savage_Joe “ Every MK game since the PS3 days used the exact same engine until now…”

Don’t know what this really has to do with anything… Most games run on the same engine forever. Last of us 2 is mostly likely still running on the same proprietary engine as Uncharted from the PS3. You just modify the toolset and backend. Mortal Kombat 1 would probably still be using UE3 if Epic probably supported it.

But the game has still seen multiple visual quality enhancements to character model, textures, environments, particle effects, and physics. Not to mention it also runs at 60FPS on all platforms.

I can’t say the same thing about the Naruto games, and it will probably still run at 30FPS PS4/Xbox One. But it fine, these games are meant to be minimum effort, maximum profit. The game will go on to sell 9 million copies
