Not sure how people are selling their Xbox’s when quick resume is literally the goat feature (for a dad of 2 like me at least!).
Anyway I personally want them to stop the ports. It’s not about excluding people. It is great that more get to play. But I love having each of the consoles for the different games they have. It’s a first-world problem (as most gaming issues are) but still.
That said, I don’t care about ABK; they may as well keep that multiplatform and get the revenue. That would have been a great driver in itself in order to pay for the XGS and potentially Zenimax staying exclusive.
I really just think this is all going in the wrong direction and we will end up with Sony monopolising in the console space in a way that really harms the consumer.
I get that i’m in the minority especially on this website but I would say careful what you wish for.
Personally think it would have been great if more were supporting Xbox.
@Banjo- yea that’s my point. Not sure how it’s stuck on PS3 if I can play it on Series X 🤷♂️ I enjoyed it, played it on Series X during lockdown I think.
@IntrepidWombat yea I liked Tsushima but it was very repetitive. The new one probably isn’t day 1 for me but i’m sure I will be happy to check it out at some point. Get the feeling it’s a smaller game though. Not sure why.
@Dalamar Yea I remember when I was living at home and ordered something from CEX online and my mum questioned what was in the box as the logo was plastered all over it. It was a gentle questioning but not something she would ever do. Bit awkward lol! I quickly reassured her it’s just Manhunt, GTA and Saw, nothing to worry about.
Lots of people saying “of course they will be silent” or “put yourself in the devs shoes”… lots of empathy which is nice but nowhere to be seen when Redfall released. Funny that.
Anyway yea the devs were pretty toxic in the replies I have seen on twitter. Think it’s just a disaster all round unfortunately.
@WhiteRabbit you’re right about the promotion. But if this did happen then it’s a late in the day deal. The game was announced to come to Xbox day one originally. But hey I don’t know! I just think it’s funny which rumours we choose to believe.
And Xbox has not been upfront about its porting. “No red tape” or whatever they said means anything but it doesn’t mean everything. They only spoke up about those 4 games because the internet was on fire with rumours and speculation (and lies).
Since they are so set on charging for it; I still don’t understand how this isn’t a day one PS+ title. Like I get Sony doesn’t “do” day one… but this is an obvious candidate. Ah well rip.
I got one. I don’t think it’s the best looking controller - like they could have done more. But the eyes are cool so! Otherwise I just have the Ragnarok controller and normal white.
I also got the new Xbox Sky Cipher see through one. 😍
Regardless of the quality of the game; outside of Astrobot, these PS1/PS2/PSP games coming back with trophies is the one thing that Playstation is keeping me interested with. Quite exciting each month clicking on the PS+ list (though I don’t have or want PS+) just to see what new old game is coming back with trophies.
I hope they keep the release cadence up and bring more obscurities. Or just give me Dynasty Warriors 2 and 3 with trophies.
@BacklogBrad Hi-Fi Rush was my GOTY 2023 but even I bounced off it initially as I thought that first level was overly long. I put the game down and then didn’t pick it back up until months later. The rest of the game has a much better pace though.
@RicketerCricketer urm okay? Not what we are talking about. I’m not saying Xbox is squeaky clean, who cares? I was saying Phil Spencer is right when he called this specific tactic slimy. Thats it. Sony is lucky to have you defending them though 👍
@falkirk4life @RicketerCricketer it was slimy when Xbox did it. But they don’t do it anymore as far as i’m aware. Which multiplatform game has exclusive content on Xbox that you can’t play on PS or at least couldn’t for a year?
@MaikonCSGarcia @PsBoxSwitchOwner sorry yea specifically referring to @OldGamer999 as he already has a Series X as well as Gamepass. So from that angle; there has never been a better time to be subscribed looking at that lineup.
Of course yea it depends how many games you are interested it. Very true. But there are so many great games hitting Gamepass.
@OldGamer999 you would give up gamepass just so you can buy them full price on Playstation?
I don’t get that. Even if you want to own them; you can play them on Gamepass and then just buy them when they are heavily discounted in a couple of years. Then you can own them (and never play them again) which people seem desperate to do all of a sudden.
Don’t get me wrong; I like owning games too. But if I don’t need to buy them at launch full price then… good
@KundaliniRising333 ultimate otaku is the biggest fanboy. He blocked me because i noticed he changed his score on a previous showcase once he realised everyone else said it was good and he was the outlier.
@OldGamer999 Yea I remember people here saying they wouldn’t buy another Bethesda game ever again, even if it did come to Playstation, just because Xbox owns it now. Which is thick. Lots of people being thick.
@OldGamer999 I know it’s a joke but it’s frustrating when people want to play all the Xbox games; but won’t buy an Xbox. Seems to be such a common mindset which is killing the console.
Also Jez Cordon has said none of these are in development for Playstation. Reason I mention that is because him and Tom Warren are pretty much as bad as eachother so…

Re: Jaw-Dropping 30th Anniversary PS5 Pro Console and Accessories Will Bankrupt You

Re: Sony Is Allegedly Pulling PSVR2 Funding, Report Claims
@MrMagic all your comments feel like they are sponsored by Playstation so I guess it works both ways.
Much rather get a Meta Quest 3 than this. Something I have been considering lately. Just holding out for the Xbox branded one they teased.
Re: PS Store Sales Charts: Xbox's Sea of Thieves Is Massive on PS5, Helldivers 2 Finally Starts to Slip

Re: PS Store Sales Charts: Xbox's Sea of Thieves Is Massive on PS5, Helldivers 2 Finally Starts to Slip

He is correct. It’s slimy every time Playstation does it. Same with Harry Potter and Marvel’s Avengers.

Re: Many, Many More Major Xbox Games Are Being Plotted for PS5
@Solingo_Bill I get it - there are financial and space reasons, and also getting permission from the wife etc. but then there is the other side of it.
If Xbox was to suffer even more, people would miss it when it’s gone. Especially people who report on it almost every day!
