Feel like this could be alot to digest for PlayStation fans this summer. Between the PlayStations showcase, whatever is announced at the Xbox Showcase and SGF.
I think between there first layoffs and now shuttering these studios, it's clear that MS will not be buying anymore publishers. They can't even keep the two they own fully employed. Not to say these publishers wouldn't have done layoffs if they had stayed third party, but it wouldn't have been nowhere near as many since being under one roof.
@HonestHick hmmm...thats a reach dude. Well have to wait and see for the showcase, but I don't think most people are going to see that blue heart as something COD related. It seems way more as a hint for PlayStation fans to watch the showcase to me.
@breakneck He's already saying it was taken out of context on Twitter. He's stating it was just his opinion and that these sites twisted it to fit there needs.
But I will say, Sarah Bonds tweet about that Xbox Showcase with the green and blue hearts side by side 💚💙 does have me thinking. 🤔
This is why these indie devs should not let themselves be bought by these conglomerate corporations. THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT YOU. Make what money you can from your small titles and be happy. Stop being blinded by 💰💰
As much as I'd like to see Gears, Halo, and Fable on Playstation. I feel like they will keep those exclusive to Xbox. I think anything outside of there staple franchises is free game though.
Seems to be the only games this publisher can put out thats successful is Final Fantasy, and those arent even selling that well (Rebirth). All the live service side projects they do look terrible and most all have failed. What I hear from this is you'll probably get nothing but a slew of FF games going forward. Which I'm sure makes that fan base happy.
I'm sure they won't announce any games for PlayStation directly, but ill be watching and hopefully we don't see to many "Xbox Exclusive" banners after the trailers.

Re: PS4 Classic Horizon Zero Dawn Set to Leave PS Plus Extra
I could see slimy Sony making a move like that. Corporate greed knows no bounds.

Re: Stellar Blade PS5 Fans Irate Over Alleged Censorship
@Ashina Preach!! Did yall even buy the game to play it, or just to ogle at some digital tat tats.

Re: Job Listing Confirms EA's Black Panther Game Is Open World
I'm excited for most any single player third person game.
Re: Despite Hype, Analyst Says Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth 'Underperforming'
Because people are burnt out on FF games coming out so frequently. Square Enix is pretty much a one trick pony now.
Re: Rockstar's GTA+ Membership Putting Its Price Up
My first thought is who with any sense would pay for this anyway?

I know this game is popular, but still don't know why? Trailer looks crazy but what's so appealing?
Re: Beyond the Ice Palace Gets a Castlevania-Inspired Sequel 36 Years Later on PS5
Never heard of the first one, but this looks excellent.
Re: New Iron Man Game Progressing Well at EA, But Likely Still Years Away
Glad EA didn't axe this and Black Panther. Just because they are 3rd person action adventure games.
Re: New Star Wars Outlaws Trailer Confirms August PS5 Release Date
First Ubisoft game I've been excited for in YEARS!!!
Re: New MediEvil Trophy List Suggests PS1 Original Being Resurrected for PS Plus Premium
Hopefully they bring the 2nd one over as well, and that would complete that series.

I still play PS3 games, so I obviously don't care too much. 🤷♂️
