I feel like the creativity with Xbox and PlayStation are starting to die out, especially since Sony keeps making little games, and the games they do release are either high budget titles or on a much rarer scale, smaller projects that get little to no marketing.
Even Xbox releases more smaller projects. That's sad.
Then Sony thinks about shutting down the studios that influenced their more creative side with the PS3 and PS4 era. Now it feels like only a few studios are actually passionately contributing to the PlayStation 5. Insomniac, Santa Monica, Guerrilla, Polyphony. Every other major studio is either hellbent on making remasters (NAUGHTY DOG) or are taking ages making games, which is fine if those titles are good, but those titles probably cost a lot of money and it just leaves the schedule for PlayStation titles to be barren.
There should be more lower budget titles on PlayStation, even a few small games. Some say that those titles aren't profitable, but something like Patagon, LocoRoco, Astro, Tearaway, and not Knack could make small profits, or more importantly, bring in new longtime PlayStation fans.
Also they don't cost $300 million.
So in conclusion, I spent way too much time bi--hing about Sony, and stop forcing Naughty Dog to do just remasters and remakes.
I'm gonna do play Mario Wonder now.
@Gabriel_Bacak I think I'd rather prefer Remedy remain independent instead of being under a company. Remedy being independent is one of the reasons I appreciate the developer, and I'd just rather them STAY independent for the foreseeable future.
Hoping that they'll continue making platformers like Pac-Man World and Klonoa. The remakes were very promising, and I would like to see more of those titles.
I like smaller titles. Hell, some of my favorite franchises are smaller titles (in terms of scale). Astro Bot, Mario (kinda), Kirby, Rayman (damn you Ubisoft). So it's good to see Xbox POSSIBLY bringing smaller titles like Pentiment and Hi-Fi Rush, since those games seem to fit well as multi-platform titles.
Still kinda salty about the snoozefest of a conference, but Microsoft has done much, MUCH worse. And Sony and Nintendo too, y'all aren't innocent.
No. Stop. We're not getting Gears of War on Xbox. Stop making rumors about it. You'd might as well make a rumor that Forza and all of Halo is coming to Xbox.
We literally just had a snoozefest of a conference where Microsoft goes down on their knees and pleas to us, telling us that we're not gonna see a major title on competitor systems. If not Starfield, why Gears?
Doom is hopefully a guarantee, considering that it's a super popular multi-platform franchise, and Fight Simulator may be stretching it, but it's at least more believable that Gears of War.
Honestly, kinda wish that Xbox consoles would be doing better so Microsoft didn't feel the need to buy every other company when they already have plenty of dormant franchises that could be revived and be turned into incentives to buying an Xbox instead of just the usual Halo, Gears of War, Forza, and they already had plenty of talented studios prior to even the Bethesda buyout, and they could also work with smaller third-party developers.
It's amazing that these three titles got a remaster, and interesting that they're gonna be on PS5, but I'm hoping that they eventually do a Sam and Max Hit the Road remaster at some point. With the Telltale remasters, I don't think that's too crazy of an idea. Then again, I am crazy.
I will say, I can understand them wanting to make Activision-Blizzard-King titles and Bethesda titles multiplatform, as well as some smaller titles. Those likely are gonna be more beneficial if they were sold across platforms rather than confining them to one.
But the mid-range to flagship Xbox Game Studios titles? I think that would a bold move for Microsoft to do, and one I kinda don't think they would do, but also one I think would spell the end for Xbox consoles for the most part.
It's one thing if Ori, Starfield, Pentiment, or Indiana Jones comes over to Nintendo and PlayStation. But Forza, Halo, Gears, or even potential system sellers like Avowed would probably be best exclusive to Xbox if Microsoft wanted to keep hardware sales or the general Xbox brand powerful.
But if not, it's a very bold move, and I'm interested in seeing how it'll play out.
I spent like $7 on the Batman Arkham Trilogy on Steam. Way more worth it.
Hell, I'd rather buy the Switch release of the Batman Arkham games for $60. Sure, they're very flawed ports, but at least they're flawed ports of actually interesting and great games.
Been interested in this, it's on Steam already and it looks very well made and is received well. Glad that this game is on more platforms, VR could use more original RPG games.

Re: Talk of Final Fantasy 7 Remake Trilogy Being Completely Console Exclusive to PlayStation Is Inaccurate
I honestly think that Final Fantasy should not be a PlayStation only game franchise anyways, so yeah this is for the better.
Still doubt that this will come to Xbox, but I can definitely see it coming to the Switch successor.

As good as this is, I do worry that Xbox will leave the console race, leaving just Sony and Nintendo.
So basically just Nintendo.

I'm glad this is coming to PC VR as well, I'm not sure if I want to buy a whole new headset for this game, as good as it looks.
Sony really needs to step up exclusives on PSVR2, since the majority of titles on the platform are also on Quest and PC.
Anyways, this game looks sexy.
