With Sonys PS5 output being slow of late I find it interesting they thought they had the capacity to support another system too.
They either needed more studios to support or not to release it in the first place. It’s unfair for adopters having an expensive device with no support.
@Player_1_Ready yeah I feel MS will try to catch Sony off guard by releasing the next Xbox early against a PS5 pro in relatively quick succession, leaving Sony caught off guard.
I’m not really interested in any of the first 4 MS games coming to PS but I hope they sell well enough anyway for them to consider Forza, Fable and Flight Sim!
Great to see this have such success and for Sony to finally score with a live service game but it just goes to show you never know what game will resonate and do well. It’s such a risky business model imo and likely one of the reasons so many companies are losing money and making redundancies etc.
This is where I respect Nintendo for their success in low(er) budget titles on weaker hardware still selling in massive quantities.
Maybe Sony should consider some smaller budget titles? Yes budgets are going up in general but it’s not imperative to spend $300m to make a successful game.
“Perhaps, though, if he’s really uncertain about the purpose of exclusivity and the advantages it has, he should consider why Xbox has only announced four unnamed titles for PS5 today, and not more.”
@4UDIOTAPE lol chill out mate it’s just an observation.
No obviously every woman doesn’t look the same that’s not what we’re discussing. We’re talking about Lara Croft who has looked a certain way for decades that is now sporting a look with more testosterone.
Why can’t we comment on it without being villainised?
@Friendly I agree and it’s something Nintendo have done well this gen.
A sly cooper remake or similar would be relatively cheap, appease many fans and would have filled the first party schedule. Herman is doing a decent job but needs to consider what you said. I’m sure these types of jobs could be easily outsourced too just like the recent tomb raiders were.
I haven’t had an Xbox since the good old days of the 360 but I do miss forza so would catch up on those.
There’s a few other things like Indy and Elder scrolls I’d be interested in but always found Halo to be overrated so doubt I’d buy many other Xbox games. Ori on switch was awesome though…
I prefer and have got enough PlayStation and Nintendo games to be keep me occupied as it is!
I can imagine MS’s thought process with this. They buy $60B worth of studios and IP that mostly sold on PS and are thinking they don’t want to forfeit that revenue so continue to release titles like CoD etc on PS.
Then they’re thinking well if we’re releasing half of our portfolio, why not the other half?
Doesn’t make sense for MS to only release the games that used to be on PS from their acquisition. What’s the difference between those games and MS’s existing IP now… nothing, they’re all under the same umbrella.

Re: Xbox Planning to Release the 'Majority' of Its Exclusives on PS5
MS lost me as a customer when they alienated their hardcore audience they originally catered for and went all in with Kinect.
Their disasterous xbone launch solidified that and I’ve never looked back.
Re: Talking Point: How Do You Feel About the PS5 Pro?
I’m more interested in this than the edge or portal but I’m concerned about price. That’s the only thing that may stop me upgrading.

Reminds me of the vita in its later years.

Re: Oft-Forgotten Jak & Daxter Spin-Off The Lost Frontier Soaring to PS5, PS4 via PS Plus Premium
@Dragoon1994 yeah a current gen trilogy remaster would be sweet and remakes would be even better. Here’s hoping!
Re: Oft-Forgotten Jak & Daxter Spin-Off The Lost Frontier Soaring to PS5, PS4 via PS Plus Premium
@Gremio108 @JonnyAces love that! 🤣
Re: Oft-Forgotten Jak & Daxter Spin-Off The Lost Frontier Soaring to PS5, PS4 via PS Plus Premium
‘Uncharted: Drake’s Fortunate’? Not played that one! 😁
I’m glad ratchet has seen some love in recent years but it’s definitely time we got some new Jak and Sly.

Re: Sony's London Studio, Media Molecule Were Reportedly 'Highest on the List' for Closure
Gaming in general just seems to be turning to **** in so many ways. I’m more than concerned for the future of my favourite pastime.

Re: 900 PlayStation Employees Laid Off, London Studio Closed
This sickens me when they wasted billions on bungie. Why doesn’t Ryan just cut the crap and own up.
It’s mis-management that has caused this, wouldn’t it be refreshing if that was acknowledged for a change.
No doubt he’ll still walk away with his fat bonus when he leaves.
Re: There's a New Super Monkey Ball, But It's Exclusive to Nintendo Switch
@JSnow2 hilarious! 🤣
Re: Upgraded PS5 Pro Planning to Be the Best Place to Play GTA 6
I’m up for a PS5 Pro as long as it’s about the same price as the base PS5 is now and the base is discounted.
Re: PS5 Exclusive Stellar Blade Will Feature a Trio of Graphics Options
Hopefully PS5 Pro will be 60fps and 4k!
Re: Helldivers 2 on PS5, PC Is One of the Biggest Games on the Planet Right Now
I hope Sony don’t forget what a large portion of their fanbase buy PS for in single player experiences with the success of their live service games.
Re: Reaction: Xbox Is Bringing Some Great Games to PS5, But Rumours Will Remain Rampant About What's Next
I know nothing about pentiment and grounded but will likely check hifi rush out.

Re: Microsoft Exec on Helldivers 2: I'm Not Sure Who It Helps By Not Being on Xbox
“Perhaps, though, if he’s really uncertain about the purpose of exclusivity and the advantages it has, he should consider why Xbox has only announced four unnamed titles for PS5 today, and not more.”
Very good point!
Re: Xbox Is Bringing Four Exclusives to PS5, But It Won't Say Which
That’s 4 odd games to test the waters with. I mean I’m sure they’re great but they wouldn’t be comparable to the likes of halo or forza.
Re: Looks Like This Is the New Lara Croft in PS5's Next Tomb Raider
@4UDIOTAPE fair enough, good explanation, we’ll leave it there.

Re: Sony Predicts Slide in PS5 Sales with No Major Existing IPs Planned Before March 2025

Re: Readers Vote Gears of War Above Halo as Their Most Wanted Xbox Series on PlayStation
Would be interesting to see what PS games Xbox gamers would most want on their console.
Maybe pure xbox could run a theoretical poll?

Re: Sounds Like Naughty Dog's Next Game Won't Be The Last of Us 3

Re: Rumour: Even Gears of War Is Reportedly in Talks to Come to PlayStation
@get2sammyb totally agree. If this isn’t true it’s doing a lot of damage and MS need to squash it. If it is true why wait to tell us any longer?
Also forza is the one game I do want from Xbox!
Re: One of PS5's Most Promising Games Just Got a Seriously Stylish Trailer, Demo on the Way

Re: Rumour: Even More Xbox Exclusives Coming to PS5 Than Already Reported
Interesting if true but there’s actually few Xbox games I’d be interested in and miss from not having an Xbox since the 360…
Forza, Indy and hi-fi rush are the only games that come to mind. I bored of halo after halo 2 but forza was superb.
